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.

Same everywhere. I think 53% of people in Quebec are functional illiterate. There is an article today about French students being illiterates too.
The educational system wants this. I start to think it's by design.
As in they’re literate in English but the government decided to stop offering services in English thereby making citizens functionally illiterate?
i'm guessing peobably the opposite? they're literate in french but the national test is in english.
No, nothing to do with language. Functional illiterate means you can read, you know how to read, but you don't really understand the meaning of what you are reading. Maybe Trump is a functional illiterate for instance :)
The same applies in the ROC (Rest of canada) when dealing with their French minority. Latest example is in New-Brunswick where the premier faces an onslaught by eliminating the French as a second language programme.
Alberta done that in the 1920’s without recriminations by closing down French only schools.
Ontario is not better underfunding French services.
I don’t disagree.
@toosoon You must be ill-informed, quite biased and in favour of Québec bashing. The government has English translations available for its minority in “La belle province”. Educate yourself. The information is out there.

That’s all well and good, until you read about bill 96..
I’m a frog, kiss me. Bill 96 is excellent as tabled . I don’t need to wait. If you’re not happy with it, do like me and GTFO . You are ROC material to light up the culture war. Join them and you will feel more at home. You must be too illiterate to be able to read between the line or fucking blind.
I’m sorry I genuinely could not follow most of that word salad. Care to try again, preferably in English this time?
Speak White, you say. Hmm… … bigot! That is why we will never cross the cultural divide between the two solitudes in canada if on either side we refuse to acknowledge our differences.
Feel free to speak in whatever ethnicity you want so long as type out a full sentence with at least a hint of what your point is trying to be.
The problem with your last comment isn’t slang words or grammar, it was a complete lack of logical flow and endless run-on sentences with no point to be found anywhere.
I bet that the English cucumber in my French salad leaves you speechless. You’re killing me pointlessly with your words.
Are you translating french idioms into english and expecting it to make sense?
No and it wouldn’t make any difference in any language anyhow. Even less in your neck of the woods.
Wait are you actually saying what you’ve typed doesn’t make sense in any language? I’m so confused.
I swear to god I keep trying my damn hardest to understand the words that come out of your mouth but it just keeps sounding like you’re using a synonym generator like a 15 year old who just discovered the right click menu in microsoft word 2016 and thinks his homework sounds so sophisticated but it’s just a big ol’ word salad with absolutely no resemblance to a coherent point anywhere.
Well The Fuck. Keep believing in your "fairy tales" and swear by it all of your devoted lifetime if you like... ...Not too soon enough your tower of babel is showing untold signs of weakness from your troubled mind through your poisonous twisted tongue. Irrationality is your forte I can see.
Linux is my shepherd, I shall not want.
Okay I was actually able to follow that, you did a much better job of keeping one faint shred of coherent thought in there (barely).
Unfortunately that thought was you either being a troll or a dumbass (my money’s on troll). Either way, I’m out chief, enjoy the rest of your day.
Yeah enjoy your monocultural illiteracy. Keep farming
Lmao you clearly don’t even understand what that term means.
The term term is a term you never specified . In terms of clarity you’re the joke.
I'm a frog, kiss me. Bill 96 is excellent as tabled . I don't need to wait. If you're not happy with it, do like me and GTFO. You are ROC material to light up the culture war. Join them and you will feel more at home. You must be too illiterate to be able to read between the line or fucking blind.
Not everywhere, in Saudi Arabia it's between 3% and 0.6% illiteracy amongst adults.
Functional illiteracy isn't the same thing as illiteracy.
Just checked and apparently worldwide the average is around 15% functional illiteracy...
