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.

Is "Figure it out yourself" pretty much a tactical retreat? (lemmy.ml)

Weird question, maybe pointless, and yeah, kinda petty I will admit, but eh, there's no stupid questions and I kinda got curious after an interaction (see after the dots if your curious).

IDK, everytime someone hits someone else with "figure it out yourself" to a question, all I hear is: "There's nothing to figure out, but I'm just gonna disengage while trying to save face". Of course, it's not for 100% of cases, but I mean, if you can't even muster up a basic laconic explanation, and instead go "figure it out" to a question that's being sincerely asked....IDK, man, it really makes you think on who needs to figure what out lol

Is that just me or nah?

......................................................

Some background: I made the mistake of actually engaging with a Youtube comment today. I know, I know, rookie mistake, but some of them can lead to intetesting convos. It basically went something like this:

Random: (talking about Baldur's Gate 3's Character Creator) It's 2023, a game shouldn't need modders to add things you can do in unmodded Skyrim. They failed

Me: There's a lotta things you can do here that you can't do in Skyrim and vice versa, not just in character creation. That's...kinda normal, so what's the problem here?

Random: I like how you say BG3's character creator's better but never offered any examples. Continue to not understand basic concepts.

Me: Listen. I'm not picking a fight, just trying to understand the complaints here. Also, never said it was better, just that there are things that you can't do in Skyrim that you can in BG3 and vice versa. But if you want a list on things you can do: gives list and other examples, even on what you can do in Skyrim but not in BG3's CC. There's differences, but yeah, not every game's gonna try and emulate Skyrim or Witcher "but better" (and even if they do, they'll always be something they won't do as well).

Random: your opinion is subjective, so is mine. I dismiss your points and subjectively choose mine.

Me: And that's valid, man! Hey, so, about those basic concepts i couldn't get, what exactly were they?

Random: figure it out yourself

I did say it was petty lmao

You officially exhausted him with your exchange. I become equally dismissive once I'm 4 comments back and forth with a stranger.
