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.

could she blow it badly by choosing the wrong running mate?

At this point, anything could happen. It could go either way. So yes, she has a chance, and yes, she could find a way to blow it.

Yes, and maybe.

The Democrats are out of time, and they could rush to nominate her as their candidate in August. It’s likely they will find the best polling candidate, and I hope they look for someone outside the Biden/Harris administration. Someone without the baggage of the last four years and complicit in hiding the condition of the current president.

Personally I hope they ask Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to lead. (If she will accept) Of all the possible nominees I’ve read about she has the most experience.

It still boggles my mind that a 34-count convicted felon is even a presidential nominee. Such is the state of the education system in this country. sigh

How is that even legal. Smh.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The obvious answer is: because then it would be incredibly easy to target any "undesirable" (who just so happens to be politically active) and come up with a felony to charge them with.

This makes sense. HOWEVER. That's not really what's happening here now, is it?

I find it mildly upsetting, to say the least, that if Ted Bundy or had decided to run for president for shitz and gigglez, they could've totally done it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You can be upset, that doesn't mean it's a good idea to outlaw running for president as a criminal. Russia exists as a case study/prime example why even in modern times that founding wisdom holds.

She does not have a good enough history to drum up the support necessary. Popular image matters, money matters, big media matters most. She doesn’t have it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (5 children)

I want her to win, but I'd bet good money against her winning.

Nope, she'll lose the black vote for putting them into the chattel slavery prison system. She'll lose the youth vote for supporting the Palestinian genocide. She'll get a lot of heckin' blue no matter who Redditors just like Hilary!
