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.

Contracts with stages are very clear on expectations of how the stage should look when shoots are done.

If a production company leaves a mess, severe overages are applied and usually stage owners' or janitors' friends are hired at top dollar to clean up mess

Nothing to do with them. That’s the responsibility of the art department.

I just watched a movie where the girl throws a can in front of the janitor, and he swaps out her invites to a party with directions to a remote location where they kidnap the girls and force them to fight in cage matches.

And at this point I realize I’ve read the title of this post incorrectly.

Now I want to know what movie this is

Don't trust imdb fully. Anaconda (1997) only has barely a 5, was 4.x last I checked, and it's amazing for what it is.

There is a sub 3-3.5 sweet spot on IMDB with B movie gold.

Stuff like “Independent’s Day” that is so unironically bad that it’s gold

Note: this is entirely different than ironically bad movies like Sharknado or the one where Stone Henge causes lightning storms, or Metal Tornado.

Do you have any public playlists?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I do not.

I don’t have an IMDB account. And I don’t watch movies with any type of system.

Drop Dead Fred

That would be a job for the scene setters, not the custodians.

I think people largely are not upset by having paid work generated for them, crushed by the monotony but not upset.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

I'm gonna steal this for work. "No, I'm not upset. Crushed by the monotony, yes, but not upset"

[–] False@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Intention matters a lot. If it's incidental to the scene and not people intentionally emptying garbage cans on the floor for no reason I'm sure it's fine?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I guess it's what they sign up for

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could ask the same question regarding real life crime scene cleanup. Like, would they get upset if they gotta scoop brains and guts off the road?

Depends how much they're getting paid...

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

I happen to know you are talking major buck for one to go into a home and do it. I think it's morbid charging for that but I guess everyone has to make a buck.

The British series "The Cleaner" and the Australian series "Mr. and Mrs. Murder" illustrate a bit of why it's expensive and discuss a little about why their characters do that job. They're comedy/mystery shows, so not completely realistic of course.

And the UK version stars Mr. Taskmaster himself: the guy from Taskmaster.
