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.

Do they show them victim picture or like really gruesome crime scenes so they can desensitize?

I've seen a bunch of dead bodies. You live long enough, people die, funerals happen. That's kind of routine.

I also found a coworker who died at work.

I was his supervisor. He had taken Monday & Tuesday off to work on his house with his brother. On Wednesday I got a call from the police where he lived. He was supposed to meet up with his brother on the previous Saturday, but he never showed up. The police called me to ask me to check if he was in his office.

He had stayed late on the Friday before his time off and died there.

That workday was pretty much over at that point. I'm not sure I needed any kind of training to deal with it. Not really sure what form that training would take.

I had a week or two where I would see his body when I closed my eyes.

It was natural causes. He was in his sixties, and he was pretty much a functional alcoholic.

He had a GI bleed. We found out later that he had an appointment scheduled to see a doctor about it. From what we pieced together afterwards, he had been vomiting &/or shitting blood and hiding it. He should have gone to the ER, but I'm not surprised he didn't.

I do kind of have most other managers beat when it comes to tough supervisory situations.

shitting blood doesnt mean anything. If its like fresh, could be hemorrhoids. 60s is way early to go, considering retirement is from 70 here and presidents start at 70 in the US. But i guess thats what alcohol does to you.

Wiping your ass and finding blood from a hemorrhoid is not the same as shitting blood.

You should not be shitting blood. If you are shitting blood, that means something
