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.

Would you kill a mass muderer? Because that's what an insurance CEO is. I'd argue the existenc3 of any millionaire CEO begets mass social murder
Its called an execution, not a murder. A murder is a crime.
This was murder. It was a crime.
Seems like most people recognize it was a justified execution of a criminal.
Can't murder a cockroach. Or a mosquito. Or a leach, or a bedbug, or a flea. You exterminate those.
We're talking about a human being.
We're talking about a being that causes untold suffering for profit. Aka, a bloodsucker.
Except that's false because he did not murder anyone (that we know of). Be angry at the system and the government allowing it to exist not the ones using it as intended. Much of what I see here is jealousy of millionaires and virtue signalling instead of people truly suggesting change. Anyone here can start any business, go start a fair insurance business, no one's preventing you, and that will actually help the issue instead of crying online
"Go start a fair insurance business"
I cannot fathom how you can believe what you are writing.
I can only say one thing: be the change you want to see. Nothing is going to change if nobody bothers doing anything
I'm liking the change I'm seeing: fewer CEOs.
This has got to be the most armchair comment I've seen all year
You don't get out very often.
There are actually very high barriers to entry in the insurance and health care markets (which in the USA are tightly intertwined).
The health insurance industry doesn't want there to be fair alternatives because then everyone would buy that instead. This is an oligarchy, not a democracy.
