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.

How do you blackmail a person who feels no shame? Could only be about his money. And I don't see any angle, say, the Russians or the Israeli government has there to make him worried. So even if they are sitting on solid evidence of him eating babies on the island that won't be nearly enough to put pressure on him. Unless it's scientific evidence that his hands are too small. And he'll just fake-news-stonewall that until he'll cover the Lincoln Memorial in gold or something, just to move the media cycle along.
47 thinks he's smart but he is at best NYC realtor smart. With a touch of the mob, maybe. He's severely undereducated as a president. More so than W by a factor of 1000. But he Peter principled himself into positions where he is unimpeachable or people are afraid to tell him when he's wrong. He shows a persistent pattern of parroting the opinion of the last man he spoke with. He is larping the Emperor's New Clothes fairy tale with an ego that needs constant praise, his own in a pinch. You don't need to blackmail a person like that. Praise him, flatter him, promise him money and good headlines and he happily will kill a minimum of two of his children.
Netanyahu sent him down the garden path on Iran. And now he'll get a deal that's worse than the Obama one he derided. Which I'm sure he never read. Because he only absorbs about one page of content if it's nicely spaced and contains pictures. Per week.
