!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 have money and I'm not comfortable in prison. That's why.
They can't put 350 million people in prison. What good is your money in a country of lawlessness? When you pay the thugs to not rob you, what will be left for yourself?

Just throw away all your money and live like half the rest of us, broke. If you have no money, you have nothing to tax.
I am broke, no doubt, but they take the money from checks.
You get a check? Like, those paper payments?
I haven't found one bank or establishment that'll cash any of my former employer's checks in over a decade. They tell me the companies I worked for aren't registered as trusted employers/check issuers.
My past employers all had to cash their own damn checks and hand me cash money. And that's largely why I quit repairing computers, tablets and phones back in 2017, apparently all the tech companies here are shady, to the point even their own banks don't trust them.
Wish I knew what it was like to have an honest employer..
Edit: I was even denied direct deposit from my own bank. Why? Shit, even the bank manager didn't know. So I closed my bank account and have been on paper cash money for about a decade. I have no reason to trust banks that won't even let money be deposited into my account.
=/ not like a paper check, no. You ok, bro?
Read my edited comment.
No, I'm not exactly okay, my old bank and past employers all fucked me on getting paid.
Well musk is circling the wagons about to fuck us all, so I guess we have that in common.
Very sad timeline we live in..
Are you not a W2 slave?
I can chose my withholding
i think that will only work for this year, you will get penalties and they will withhold next year
Nah you’ll just have a big tax bill you have to save for
Yes but what about under payments?
