No Stupid Questions
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.

I literally wrote in the parenthetical which term you used. Are you blind?
I think I'm done. You're just repeating conservative talking points without actually thinking about what you're writing. Lia Thomas was never a bad swimmer. As mentioned, the improvement in her rankings was within normal bounds for three years. You've also curiously avoided noticing how the other rankings were below 1st despite her starting at a higher ranking in men's competitions. Likewise, none of her times have ever blown away the competition. She didn't set records. The 1st place finish isn't even in the top 50 all-time for NCAA.
I feel like I'm talking with my relatives who voted for Trump. Given that you don't even have the decency to use the correct pronouns, kindly go fuck yourself conservacuck.
Compared to other competitive swimmers, yes, he was. 500th ranked in just the USA college system means you're never getting anywhere close to being a professional swimmer competing at world championships or the olympics. Never. Not even close.
Incorrect.
Grow up.
You really love ignoring everything other than the 500 free.
Since you brought up the Olympics, I wonder how many of her competitors (other than obviously Douglass) actually made it.
Unless you're talking about pretty much worthless pool records, I am indeed correct. Since you love calling me incorrect, how about you actually provide some numbers other than an unsubstantiated ranking from a letter written by someone supposedly om behalf of anomymous teammates. She did not set NCAA records, USA records, etc., unlike someone else she competed against.
Right back at you, ma'am.
My favourite part about this is how you think I’ll care about you intentionally “misgendering” me 🤣
You’re incorrect, just like you are about everything else.

Funny that the university itself says that Thomas set records, yet you know that “she” didn’t? Very strange that. Have you told them that they’re wrong?
Just doing my part to provide as little empathy to you as you provide to others.
Just no empathy for women, only for men.
Mm, sounds about what I'd expect of you.
