!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.

'Cause I'm pretty sure KCPD is. Probably a lot of the sheriff departments, too.

No idea, I stay the fuck out of their business and want nothing to do with gangs.

One time I was at my old dealer's house, chilling out and hitting his dab rig. He had security cameras up all around his property, and on one of the feeds I see a cop, in full uniform, walk up to the front door and ring the bell. Mind you, I'm at about a 11 out of 10 high at that point.

So naturally I start freaking the hell out, and I'm like "Dude, I think we're fucked". And my dealer's like "Nah, don't worry about it, just be cool", opens the door, fist bumps the cop, and then proceeds to sell him a whole pound of weed right in front of me.

After he leaves, I ask "What the fuck was that?" and he goes "my best customer for the last 5 years, sometimes his whole squad comes up to buy." So I dunno if Austin PD is running drugs on their own, or if that cop just gets completely zooted on the job every day, but there's that.

The local donut shop is cash-only. You do the math.

They did the monster meth?

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

It's a graveyard smeth!

[–] BritishDuffer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And they keep all their powdered sugar in these little baggies.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

This is simply an isolated incident that keeps happening over and over again.

[–] newbeni@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My Mom used to date a KC firefighter that got caught in the park with hookers and blow....I wish I could make this stuff up. My husband thinks it's hilarious 😂

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone willing to run into my burning house to save me or my stuff should be paid in hookers, blow, and whatever else keeps them on the job.

[–] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Well, when you put it like that...

Well, he wasn't a hookers and blow fighter, now was he

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

When I was in highschool the D.A.R.E. officer was the dealer.

[–] Uranium3006@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My local police are famously literal actually gangsters, so probably

I'll let you in on a little secret: they all are

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yes, this is completely true.

ALL police department are secretly drug dealers!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I was more alluding to them all essentially being violent gangs.

[–] Uranium3006@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Some are openly dealers

Mine are Nortenos. What are yours?

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Did you have a stroke

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

"trust me, bro"

[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As far as im aware my local PD's dont directly sell drugs. But the sheriff owns and rents out drug houses. he charges extremely high rent and let them cook meth, and doesnt bust them(until he's up for reelection) all while arresting their competition.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

In the little town where I went to college, the cops were specifically in the cocaine business. Not pot or psychedelics; townies came on campus to get those. Not heroin; that was the sketchy dude who hung out by the record store. Not meth; that was the sketchier dude who hung out by the middle school basketball court at night. But for coke? You gotta know a cop.

[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I'd be shocked if they all aren't.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

When I was in high school, we had an officer assigned to the school. He was a racist dealer from what I gathered. He's bust the Hispanic kids and then sell to the white kids. He also crashed the new mustang police car trying to show it off, almost hitting students. Was pretty obvious he was dirty when he one day had a really nice sports car. He now owns a coffee shop, which I've never visited. I assume it's just a money laundering front.

Small city in TN here. They do their deals in the Waffle House parking lot, and protect their suppliers from the competition.

[–] bender@insaneutopia.com 6 points 1 year ago

Can you elaborate on them running drugs?

[–] Vupperware@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What makes you think they are?

Also:

And it's not just a US problem. Oganised crime often infiltrates or corrupts police forces, even in developed countries where the police are paid relatively well and trained properly unlike in the US.

[–] UnexploredEnigma@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Got any Colorado ones?

[–] zepheriths@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Do you have any proof you would like to present? Such documentation would be pretty useful

If anyone says "not mine!" they just aren't paying attention.

[–] Fleshtrap@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty well known in Fairbanks, AK that the PD and Troopers are involved in drugs.

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk, let me go ask a cop for drugs.

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Bad news guys, cops don't have a sense of humor
