"are" is a perfectly valid pronunciation of "our" I think, at least in some accents. Writing it as "are", on the other hand does feel wrong.

!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.

MODERATORS
As a psychology nerd:
-
the lack of understanding and empathy for others (even when their opinions are different or "wrong"
-
The lack of understanding of how behavior is driven and encouraged to change.
-
The comfort level with looking at something very complex and assuming you know it deeply in moments (referring to short form video "teaching" psychology and mental health stuff)
-
The overall disconnect between the physical medicine community and the psychological/mental health communities (i.e. mental health is a huge driver in cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases)
-
I could go on. Learning more is my passion but damn it's so depressing when I begin to understand something and see the abounding ignorance on it
Messaging:
- People who reply to direct text questions with 5min audio recordings.
- People who use Enter as if it was the space bar, sending 10 messages for what could be easily sent as one.
- People who treat their requests as of utmost urgency, but when you contact them back take hours or even days to reply back.
Online forums:
- The sort of illiterate fuck who treats "but" as if it contradicted everything preceding it.
- People who feel entitled to have ELI5 versions of the text content produced by other people. (i.e. throwing a tantrum because of difficult words, text size, or even conceptual complexity.)
- Usage of "lol" and/or "lmao". (I mentally translate those into "I'm braindead and should be treated accordingly.")
- The sort of dead weight that focuses too much on specific words being used to convey something, instead of what it conveys.

Nails. Like the kind you hammer in. I hate them. They always come out and you have to hammer them in again eventually. Screws are the way to go.
Put nails in at an angle, and alternate the angle so a row of nails looks like a row of Vs. Whenever reasonable I'd still go for screws though.
I bought this skittles set for the kids to have a competition at a kids birthday party. The pins and ball are reasonable quality but the staples holding the box together fell apart the second we tried to pack it away.
