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.

Supermax - be a serious threat to society

Regular - be a poor criminal

Club fed - be a rich criminal

Gotta kill a few people. Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.

God I wish we got more Riddick games to go with the movies

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Chronicles of Riddick is in my top 10 movies easily

Im pretty sure that was in Pitch Black. I was disappointed with the sequel but the Xbox/PC game where he is in Butcher bay was great. It sucks it got delisted.

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

It was in both, in the sequel it's not the exact quote though, Jack is complaining at him about not being able to find a doctor to do it.

Ah thanks for the correction like I said I didn't watch the second as much

And then you live your life one quarter mile at a time...

The only real super Max is in Colorado. It’s completely locked down facility. No visitors allowed, video conference links are the only thing they provide for their inmates.I think it’s 23 hour lockdown one hour outside a day in a cage separated from everyone else. The only way to get a ticket to Supermex is to be a terrorist or an organized crime member that is too dangerous to allow regular contactwith other inmates.

any regular prison, you can go to by committing murder, or assault, something violent and serious.

Club fed is just a low security federal penitentiary. Some of them look more like college dormitories surrounding central courtyards. A lot of free time lotta classes lots ofservices. You have to do white collar crime typically to get one of those.

What do you define as a "real" supermax? There are definitely some prisons that label themselves as supermax outside of ADX in Colorado. Pelican Bay comes to mind. That's where they put people who are criminally insane or violent, and it's 100% solitary confinement cells. Not sure about the visitation thing though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

pelican Bay is a state prison. The only full hundred percent super Max prison is Florence Colorado ADX. there’s a dozen other State prisons that offer a super Max cell block. But none are as secure as Florence. Additionally on a federallevel I think it’s only Florence. I’m not sure of any other federal facilities that contain any super Max blocks. additionally, solitary does not equal super max.

I see. After looking into it more, I'm surprised to see the term getting applied very generously to a variety of different prison conditions. I would have imagined they'd have a set of standards that dictate this sort of thing.

Anyway, cheers and thanks for the info.

Isn't Ft. Leavenworth a supermax?

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

Ft Leavenworth is the military's prison. They don't send civilians there.

Yes, one of my former soldiers is there for breaking into an ATM in Korea. The dumb fuck has an MP on either side of him from the time the ROK government turned him over to us until the day he was convicted at Courts Marahal and assigned the rank of prisoner.

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

That is astonishingly stupid.

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

Right? I told him so every time I saw him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

There is only one supermax in the US
