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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Always wanted to be on an episode of Red Dwarf.
I mean, I was literally forced into existence by a family of racist people. I've had so many opportunities taken from me and held back against me because of the color of my skin. I've had so many of the people that are supposed to be my family who are supposed to be there to support me work actively against my future happiness rather than not doing that because of the color of my skin.
And now that I'm an adult, I got away from them. I make more money than any other person in my family. I've bought my own house as a single adult man. And I have money to burn.
I have proven that I have worth and value to people in the world who do not choose to actively be against me.
There is a part of me that honestly believes that no amount of self-worth that you assign to yourself is worth the same caliber as the worth other people assign to you and other people have assigned to me worth enough to be one of the wealthiest people I know.
I assign great worth to this reply.
