  • I was subscribed to it the first week it existed so I know that your story is completely fabricated. The origin is even in the subreddit wiki...

    /r/NoStupidQuestions was founded in February 2013 for people to feel free to ask the questions they might be embarrassed or ashamed to ask elsewhere. Inspired by this thread and specifically this comment

    Look at the questions in that thread. It was always about silly little questions

  • I appreciate the troll. It's always bugged me that this community took the name from reddit without the actual theme. This place should be for "common sense" questions you feel stupid having to ask but instead it's mostly been ELI5, asklemmy, and a variety of loaded questions.

  • You're not wrong about that but they jumped in to defend someone from an attack that wasn't happening, making me wonder why they replied at all

    If you're gonna chime in on a public forum, read the comment first..

  • I didn't label you a conspiracy theorist, I was actually trying to be careful not to dismiss the suggestion entirely because yeah, that's also plausible. But saying it "seems awfully staged" hours after it happened is Alex Jones rhetoric we should avoid lest we start looking at stupid as the far right.

  • That's exact what I'm trying to say - they didn't deserve to die and nothing good will come from it.

    I will admit I WAS happy about the UHC CEO because he was directly involved in the decisionmaking that led to suffering. But this one doesn't feel like vengeance - until I hear otherwise, these were just two people caught in the crossfire. Bullets should be flying at Netanyahu and his cronies, not embassy employees.

  • It sucks that more people died. It also sucks that I feel so.....indifferent about this one.

    How many Israelis have to die before they stop killing Palestinians? What's two lives compared to the hundreds ended daily in Gaza? It's hard to be sad.

    These people probably weren't evil. At worst, they were complicit after being fed a lifetime of propaganda. And nothing will change because of this so there's no silver lining. It's hard to be happy.

    If I feel anything, it's dread at how the story will be spun. But even then...whatever happens isn't going to be the worse than what's already happening.

    So it's hard to care at all. And that's the sad part for me.
