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.

Kind of now seems they are on the verge of becoming full fledged Nazi's. So if I get lets say a million dollars and come out a black lesbian nurse, which I truly am, and gave all the money to the NAACP would that embarass them at all or are we to far gone to get cash grabs for immitation?

You'd be more valuable to the grift as a black lesbian nurse. They are always looking for people with identities that the left claims to protect/empower, who are willing to run interference and act like there's no need for political protection. That's why Candace Owens, Milo Yiannopoulos, Dave Rubin, and Blaire White are big names in their circles. All people with "DEI" identities who are willing to decry the left and rationalize every last thing done by the GOP.

It would be a fun experiment. Generate a podcast with an ai white guy voice. See how many rubes you could grift.

Fun thought, but no. I'm an old white guy and they aren't sending me a million dollars, so I'm not sure what your plan is to get that money in the first place.

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have you tried telling them you’re an old white guy? That helps

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That is a significant portion of their voter base, who they are actuvely screing over.

They only care about people who can help them get more money, they aren't giving theirs away.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

no benefit in embarrassing them. Should instead keep taking the money and use it for causes that resist them while trying to maintain secrecy so you can keep it going longer.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago

You have to have something they want. Either a really good con, like... an idea to convert public schools to prisons, or something. They're not just going to give you money just because you kiss their asses; they have a shitload of authentic rabid fanatics.

But if you think you've got a good con, do it for the cause, not because it'll embarrass them. If you could somehow embarrassed Trump, you could find yourself with new lodging at Guantanamo, and good luck getting anyone in the lethal system to successfully get you out.

Neither of them are "givers". They're both con men themselves, so I think trying to bilk them is going to be challenging.

They're pretty far gone from shame, embarassment, or believing anything that makes them look gullible. So even if you did dupe them out of their money and donate it in a way they find displeasing, they are so well practiced at mental gymnastics as to avoid admitting they were deceived or feeling bad about it. And then you would have just exposed yourself to liability for fraud and probably doxxed yourself, becoming a target of harassment or worse.

This is the hard truth. It's fun to think of ways to try and "get back at them" or try to make them understand how stupid they are, but they truly are that fucking ignorant. They will always find or create a way to make you be the one in the wrong in their eyes, so ultimately anything you try on them has a greater chance at backfiring and harming you in the long run.

I hear that truth social is a "target rich environment" for scammers.

They won’t feel shame but do it anyway

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why wouldn’t you just keep the money?

[–] Patnou@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because it would be like a big fuck you to them

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

They don't care one bit though.
