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.

Harassing the underpaid workers is your solution?
One thing ive noticed is that the younger generation, which I assume you are, have a lot of desire to change capitalism but absolutely shit poor ideas how to do it.
Im not saying I have any great ideas either. But making the already suffering employees suffer more will not lead to changes. You know that.
They're already harassed and their conditions are already deteriorating. The only way that will ever improve is if there is no profit in mistreating them, since there is no party interested in improving things for workers in this country.
One thing I've noticed is that boomers think that if you disagree with them, it means you must be younger than them and therefore wrong.
As opposed to no desire to change capitalism and infinite excuses to prevent such change.
Or any desire to formulate any.
They will have to suffer more regardless. Capitalism demands more work for the same wages over time. And inflation guarantees that wages' ability to pay for a living decrease over time.
I know I disagree with you so you immediately assume I'm a child incapable of giving anything any thought. I work in a customer-facing position. I have my own set of ways to gum up the works for my sector of the economy. Yes, some of the things I listed are aggravating to workers. The ones I have for my job are based on personal experience and I know I would hate them too. But every last one of them was selected to maximize time and resources wasted first and foremost, with the goal of causing actual diminution of the fortunes of the company. If it's just a dick move to the employees, if it causes them suffering without also harming the company's bottom line in some way, I didn't include it. Except maybe the dumb questions thing. That's probably a bridge too far.
If you're older than a boomer, your arguments tend to consist of. "Speak up! Why can't you speak up? No, I don't need a hearing aid. I need you to speak up!"
