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.

I dunno, what you're saying seems ungenuine. you can't name someone you hate because you don't think about them?
Maybe you don't understand what hate means. It doesn't mean you're obsessed with disliking them, it means intense dislike.
It doesn't mean you spend time thinking about them. I hate(d) certain people in my life and if I was forced into a room with them I'd feel that feeling of intense dislike, but otherwise I don't think about them. But I won't pretend I don't hate anyone just because I'm not actively discussing or thinking/feeling my feelings about that person
Hate is an extremely strong emotion. To me, it means basically that you wish they were dead. That I do not feel of anyone. However, I can't say I intensely dislike anyone either. It's not quite compatible with the way I see the world. Hating a person, to me, is like hating a hurricane or a volcano. It simply doesn't make any sense.
Well that's not the definition, so you're probably not understanding because that's not what most people mean.
Even so you can't imagine why someone would want somebody else dead? Why someone would or could feel that way?
Explain how, please. Because one is uncontrollable nature and the other has free will and chooses to do terrible things.
I'm not asking how you do it. I'm asking how your comparison makes any sense to you? I can understand not getting upset about things, choosing to, but that doesn't mean that I don't find them upsetting.
I don't believe in free will or the self. That's the difference for me here. Just like the hurricane couldn't have done otherwise, I don't think that a human could have either. I wouldn't get angry at a bear attacking me in the forest either - that's what bears do. Doesn't mean I like it, or approve of it but I just don't pretend as if they could have acted any other way.
Oh well if you don't believe in free will or self then of course
I'm kind of enjoying the fact that your post is coming off increasingly angry.
