No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

America is built from immigrants. Everyones family except native Americans are immigrants. Skilled professionals will always be wanted in their area of expertise.
Pay attention and be aware of any upcoming changes, but don't work yourself up over Trump. It's natural to be worried.
Hell, the native Americans are immigrants too, they're just the descendants of the first ones to get here.
I'm not saying this to detract from the point of the land being stolen by invaders from Europe, I'm saying it to point out that every nation in North, South, and Central America was populated by groups moving here looking for a good place to live. It's the single most fundamental fact of the continents that we are all, all linked by something; we're all one big, extended family.
I wouldn't go that far. Might as well say anyone outside of Africa is an immigrant at that point.
Well, yeah, that's the point. I didn't bring Europe and Asia into it since the original thing was about the U.S., but it applies there too. It applies everywhere.
We aren't some magically unique group because of where we live. There's no inherent barrier between people just because someone got somewhere first.
I'm not saying that there's no point in borders, or that nations don't/can't have rules about such things.
I'm just saying that when it comes to the U.S. and the rhetoric around immigration and immigrants, there's a lot less differences between everyone over on these continents than differences.
Go back even further, we're all immigrants from the ocean
We all migrated from the stars.
I agree. Trump talks a lot, but the final result is usually unpredictable. If you are here legally and you have a desire to stay, I would wait and see what happens, while also setting aside some savings in case you need to move.
Absolutely. I'm with you 100%
Just don't go crazy worrying about it 24/7
