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.

my bf is poly and already has a bf, so he doesn’t want to initiate anything with me. he doesn’t wanna call nor hang out, and he always texts very dry. he’s nice, but i don’t feel loved.

I’m not doing well mentally though. my gf already ignores me (she and i are poly too) and i feel like i will die if he breaks up (though i clearly won’t die)

So this person doesn't want to call or hang out with you, never initiates anything, doesn't make you feel loved, and just sends soulless loveless texts like they are sending a work email?

Sorry to be blunt, but what makes you think this person is your boyfriend?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

well he does but he feels bad bc he has a bf he has been dating longer.

sometimes he’ll send the occasional heart emojis if i do first

“They mostly just type like this.

Hello

I’m fine, what about you?

Sorry, I can’t hang out. I don’t want my boyfriend to be upset.”

That's not a relationship. You've been ditched, it's time to hold your head up high and shut that door. Not worth your time.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like he's just using you as his fucktoy.

Dump this bum. Have some more respect for yourself. You deserve love and respect. If someone is going to be in a poly relationship, everyone in that relationship needs to be OK with it. It sounds like his boyfriend isn't. If his boyfriend being upset is a reason not to be with you, then you aren't really in a poly relationship. He's in a relationship with his boyfriend, and he's just occasionally cheating on his boyfriend with you. A poly relationship requires that all members be fine with the other members getting together. That is the difference between being poly and being a cheating bastard.

Dump this bum.

It's not really cheating if the bf is aware, but agree with everything else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's not how poly relationships work. You are a side bitch for when his bf is not around. Please remove yourself from this "relationship" for your sake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

tysm! we are broken up for now n he said that was ok because he wanted to be with his bf

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Posts like these have taught me to run for the hills the second someone mentions being "poly."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

It works for some people but everything i ever hear just sounds so high maintenance.

Then again, the people in comfortable stable poly relationships probably don't post much about it online

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

In what way is he your boyfriend? He doesn't sound like he is. Poly is really hard, and it's full of shitty people who use it as a justification for being shitty. Sounds like you need to do a whole bunch of work on yourself right now, and it doesn't really sound like either of your "partners" are good for you.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Why would you complicate your life like this?

Seriously just break up. It's obviously a shit show.

Bots or teens take your pick.. But yeah there have been several odd similar ones today.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

on the same community? and teens, yes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Thats not your boyfriend lmao

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Are you sure you're really dating? If he doesn't call, doesn't want to hang our, doesn't initiate anything, and is very dry in his texting it sounds like he's just a distant acquaintance....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago
  • Already has a BF,

  • Doesn't want to initiate

  • Doesn't call

  • Doesn't hang-out

It's not your boyfriend, it's at best a crush you had a one night stand with him

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this your ex Sam, who you posted about only one week ago, asking whether it would be a mistake to get back together? And the general consensus was to stay away because he's clearly not into you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

no, someone else
