Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm self-employed and doing the kind of work I'd pick if I could freely choose anything, so I can't really say there's much about my job I don't like. After all, I have the luxury to refuse any job I don't feel like doing. Like I did with applying wallpaper - fuck that.
I love that I can set my own working hours. I can take a day - or a whole month - off whenever I want. My running costs are so low that not working doesn't bankrupt me. I get genuine gratitude for what I do. I manipulate the physical world, so at the end of the day I can see and touch what I've produced. I love that my customers are unreasonably reasonable. I love constantly learning new things and sharpening my existing skills. I love that no two days are the same. I get to work both outdoors and indoors. I love that I don't have to touch a computer. I love that I get to do things the way I think they should be done instead of how someone tells me.
Yeah, I could go on forever.
