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.

Do you know what Knight Transportation is? Probably not, but it’s a trucking company worth $8 billion, and it is on the Fortune 500. Do you know who the CEO is? No, you don’t—and his net worth is not publicly disclosed. So even if they are online, unless you are really into corporations, CEO stocks, etc., I doubt you’d know.
When I worked at a country club, I saw many high-net-worth individuals of all races—Black, Hispanic, Asian—and I can tell you that you wouldn’t be able to pick them out in a lineup.
so ... a CEO of a company that is valued in the billions of dollars - that CEO is not a billionaire, for context
The CEO is a millionaire, though - a quick search shows his compensation is over $4 million
I'm not saying every billionaire can be picked out in a lineup by a random member of the public, but just pointing out that no billionaire is escaping scrutiny or awareness of the public in some capacity (this is why I started with "even if not 'famous'").
You also didn't really disclose anything about what I asked - why would my cousin be under an obligation to disclose he's a CEO of a trucking company and has a salary of over $4 million?
I think it would depend on the kind of relationship I had with the cousin, and whether I felt he was lying or betraying me somehow by lying ... but otherwise, no - I'm not seeing how a cousin has any obligation to disclose their net worth, their job, etc. to you.
I think I knew one of my cousins was a kindergarten teacher, that they liked to play softball, etc. - but they didn't tell me when they changed jobs and I never knew their net worth. If they became a CEO of a company I wouldn't feel they had an obligation to tell me.
