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.

When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc... some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

Honestly don't think he thinks much about politics

I don't think he thinks much about anything really. He just puts on a show.

He strikes me more like a nihilist or at least realist. He does react to political videos like the Trump interview where he complained about Harris "suddenly being black". But Asmon mostly makes fun of all the idiocy. But he also makes fun of idiocy on the left and that seems to get gobbled up by his commentors.

But all in all he doesn't seem to care about stuff, including himself. He just states how things are without much evaluation beyond objectively bad things.

Like, he'll state that he has an unhealthy lifestyle. He'll state that people make fun of him. He'll state there are transsexual people. He'll state people get upset about transsexuals. Could be construed as right-wing, but there is no valuation in those statements because they're objectively true.

He'll also say that there is violence against transsexuals and that that is fucked up. Could be construed as left-wing but I would say that's as objectively morally bad as one would be able to call anything so.

His followers and detractors seem to ignore everything left leaning he says and instead just focus on everything even slightly right leaning. Especially taking any statement out of context. Like here: https://youtu.be/xBzc3CJOj9I

I don't like the guy but I think he is entertaining. I just have to stay clear of his comment section.

I think he's aware that the statements he makes are always objectively correct and the right wing audience wants to believe that he is on their side when it usually isn't the case. Especially when discussing about the current direction of games.
