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 guess depending on what is your position on child and adult here...

but yeah, i don't think anyone is permitting their jailbait to fuck anyone over 20 in good conscience.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not currently. But it used to be fairly common, is the point.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ok... it was common for parents to allow catholic clergy to fuck their kids and when kid complained they did nothing. what is your point?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The distinction between past and present. And more abstractly, not confusing acknowledgement of past moral principles as agreement with them.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

saying it was common back then is tacitly approving of it IMHO

but people can make up their own minds.

note that many of these people who fucked jail bait are still alive and it is still happening in celebrating circles.

did not charlie cheen rape some kid? and there many stories all the disney jailbat being raped?

What excuse will society muster for this shit happening in 1990s?

That's the mindset I take issue with.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

where are you getting this information? how common was it?

who was fucking all this jailbait? just trash celebs? or everybody was bagging a 14 year old on the side?

who was supplying the jailbait? parents or they just acted on "their own"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe if people weren't so afraid to acknowledge uncomfortable topics in history, you would know the answers to those questions already.

or everybody was bagging a 14 year old on the side?

It was closer to this.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was closer to this.

Well you don't learn this shit in history books but if it is true, then all these pedos need to go into a wood chipper.

They're mostly dead.

Here's my suggestion: stop with the moral outrage. The reason it's harmful is because of the potential for manipulation, not because such relationships are inherently harmful. The potential for abuse and manipulation is such that we've determined the risk is too high to accept as a society. That's a judgment call and a subtle determination, one which previous generations (pretty much all of human history) did not make.

Murder and assault are pretty much universally and instinctively viewed as wrong by all societies. Relationships between adults and teenagers has historically not been seen as such. That's a cultural phenomenon that's very recent. I think it's an advancement in society, like how we've decided misogyny and racism is wrong. But before you decide that literally everyone born before 1983 is Evil, maybe step back and consider history and culture a little.

That is the decision dawg... We will use the information but nobody has to accept these bags tbh

That's what's breaking cycle of abuse looks like.

No it's not lol, it's just being toxic and hateful. Maybe it's less unhealthy, but it's still unhealthy.
