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.

I understand a fantasy and a one time thing like tipping on a guys night out at a strip club, but some of these guys think they are in a relationship with someone they will never meet and don't even know their real name or life details.

That's so sad, you weren't even doing a "No tip" just a "reduced tip." Like, isn't that how tipping is supposed to work?

I've faced it too, coworkers would tell me things like "we have a spray bottle with water so you can look like you're sweating and working really hard and more likely to get tips." Cool, because gaslighting people for money isn't fraudulent or scammy at all??

The entitlement is crazy. I remember literally arguing "it's not their responsibility to cover the gaps in our pay that our employer refuses to cover" and them acting like I was crazy to expect our employer to pay us a living wage when we could be raking in cash from tips.

Seriously, the tips were insane, but it wasn't enough for these people. We could be getting enough in tips to be making $30+/hour each night, but apparently that's not enough and entirely the responsibility of the people who come to our restaurant.

Yeah, I'm pretty convinced that the worst tipping culture comes from the people who act like not getting a tip is fucking blaspheme that should be punished by God himself.

Yeah, like I've always tipped the "standard" (15% here) as the minimum in the worst cases, my standard is 20-25% or more depending on the bill and time of service, et cetera; and they still had their panties in a wad over the idea that their brilliant shortcuts weren't that brilliant and that someone might still see through them or at least appropriately judge their service over them, intentional or not.

edit: at the time it was 25% or more; I've only adjusted it slightly because I don't make as much anymore, and even then it's mainly when it's a large bill, and I'm by myself, and either the service was just sub-par, or it was a very fast but expensive meal. Good eating is my vice.
