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.

It needs to be done with objective intelligence instead of arbitrary bureaucratic oversimplification. Someone that has had no criminal record and has been on any controlled substance for years should not get dragged through the mud over this issue. After a couple of years, they shouldn't need to constantly see a doctor in person every few months or have pharmacies make their life any more difficult. These people should be the main priority of focus not some peripheral aspect of a 1% problem.
As far as I am concerned, the vast majority of fentanyl deaths are because it is the ideal suicide drug in a society that has an ineffective government that is bent on growing the poverty class.
I'm one of these chronically disabled people in constant pain. I choose not to take any pain meds because it doesn't really change anything other than my mental sharpness. I've spent years on opioids, and can and have stopped at will. I despise the way I am treated and the nonsense it takes to get the meds. If I get sick of the struggle, an OD is less of a mess to clean up and I have every right to choose how I wish to exit. Fixing the real problem here involves changing society so that people feel they have options other than such an exit. Getting disability in the USA is difficult, expensive, and takes years. As of right now, when my folks die, that is my exit, and when I become this statistic too. You're fighting the wrong problems here and inadvertantly making them worse.
