No Stupid Questions
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

He's actually pretty fit and does a lot of stunts himself.
That doesn't mean he can fight. Sure, he could hold his own against someone like me (also no fight training or experience plus not at all fit) but I wouldn't want him as a bodyguard.
IIRC, Keanu did some extensive firearms training in connection with John Wick. I've seen some footage of him on a training set with mobile targets, and would estimate that he's better at handling a wide variety of firearms than a fair portion of military personnel are before the first time they see combat. This estimate is based on my own military training on similar courses.
I know the movies are choreographed, but I definitely wouldn't give someone without extensive training good odds against him, based on footage I've seen from his training.
I've got nearly a decade of experience in competitive pistol and three-gun matches and I was never by any means competitive. The footage of what he accomplished in his training is impressive and requires a significant amount of practice and skill. Even if what I saw was only the best roll, it was no accident
That doesn’t mean Keanu is good. Perhaps most soldiers are given just enough training to be convincing cannon fodder.
It does mean he's far above the average person (which isn't saying much, the average person probably has less than an hour of firearms training, and maybe a few hours of martial arts training at most)
Define "good". I would say that any professional with dozens of hours of training, that could comfortably overcome any average person is "good". Those are the people I trained with, and my impression is that Keanu is better than most of them.
