A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'd make it unlawful for any entity including the U.S. gov't to profit from the suffering of others. This would, of course, immediately crash the economy. Suffering is our leading export.

War would be an exclusively defensive prospect. Truly defensive. Like attack our shit first. No more strategic bullshit "in American interests"

Probably not the most pressing issue but Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of the most egregious rights violations that is not only legal when used but extremely lopsided in its fairness against those who have effectively been robbed by the police.

The government should never be allowed to consist of extremely stupid people.

Now good luck with finding any possible candidates next time ;-)
