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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I used to believe people were rational, now I know they are all trash.
I doubt it. I'm in a group with 3 MAGAts, a British incel and 26 liberals and despite having access to sources through this group for the past 15 years, they still vote Trump (and love Kirk).
Yes. Mine. Specifically with interacting with transgender people on here.
ive changed my mind from social media debate, but I'm not going to give someone the satisfaction of knowing they convinced me.
Yeah, engaging with people in the comments has certainly influenced my opinion, many times. Daily probably.
It's not impossible.
Why are you even on here if it hasn't?
Not if it's rubbing someone's face in it

A political debate is intended to convince voters that your policies are the right decision. Not that they are correct in a factual sense.
He started noticing what the Israeli government was doing, and talked about it on the likes of Megyn Kelly's show, Tucker Carlson's show, and some others. This happened despite him being a staunch advocate for what was happening in Palestine (and the people thereof dying at the hands of the fake Khazar Jews, of which I'm a partial Khazar who doesn't practice an Abrahamic religion). Let's also mention the fact he was Calvary Chappel, and that he took the Mark of the Beast on the right hand (he obeyed the Pope, despite not being Catholic, though following what Rome's bishop wanted). Not to mention too, while it's absolutely abhorrent what happened to him, he had some views that would've gotten him sent to the lake of fire anyway (due to taking the Mark as I described).
This is all despite the fact he engaged in Socratic debate.
What do you mean obeyed the Pope? You realize I've of his last actions was to donate the popemobile as an aid vehicle for Gaza
If he was really going to do it, it wouldn't be a Popemobile, as Unum Sanctum would be enforced on the Palestinians. They happened to be of the line of Jacob... not the Khazars as claimed by the mainstream.
I'm sorry, what time period do you think we live in exactly?
We've been controlled by these Catholic interests since at least 1302, and in the 21st century, we've been controlled by the Pope through the Bull I mentioned. November 18, 1302 was the day we lost freedom of religion all over the world.
The holy Roman empire fell centuries ago. The power it held was distributed to organizations we generally refer to as "the West"
The Pope has immense power... But soft power. The only army they can move is the Swiss guard
That was only one of three stages of the Roman Beast Kingdom. The Popes would rule stage 2 for 1,260 years (538-1798), and then stage 3 is the Jesuit Order, which is the stage we're in now.
The Jesuit order? The most reasonable and educated branch of any religion I've ever met? The order dedicated to knowledge?
Their leader is the False Prophet to the Pope. Most people won't understand this until they research the dark side of the Jesuit Order like my producer has.

All of these right-wing grifters are susceptible to Zeitgeist shifts as they are paid for the reach of their propaganda so when it became untenable to defend Israel even to a right-wing audience Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Charlie Kirk pivoted. Ben Shapiro didn't and lost his audience.
Defending Israel was always the Catholic and Jesuit thing to do. They stopped doing that, and started gaining followers as a result, likely so people don't notice the Jesuit Superior General, currently Arturo Sosa from Venezuela, pulling the strings on them too.
