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.

Almost had a job - was all but hired, but whoops! I’m a gay trans man, should have considered that before I had hopes of being able to pay back my college loans.

What would be a realistic plan for driving straight down south to Mexico City and just knocking at every school door saying “¿necesitas maestro?” Or really, I’ll stop at the first city with access to testosterone and maybe a nice gay night scene.

I assume security going into Mexico is a lot easier to clear than the other way around? Visas probably cost money I don’t have LOL

If you need a job and also worried about being seen. Then call center WFH is for you.

Look at collection agencies that have WFH option. If you know Spanish, DM me. I can get you a job. The job isn't glamorous or "fun" but you can make some cash and think about your future more.

It's easy to get into Mexico with a US passport but staying and working is a different story.

Collection agencies? You've got to be fucking kidding me. That is not a job for good people.

I work at one currently. In the IT department. People that do it arent bad, it's just a job. Some are more pushy than others, but overall they are just like you and me trying to make a dollar.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I appreciate that explanation, but I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't feel right about myself. You do you, but I could never do that, and I'm a US combat veteran. I wish I wasn't, but here we are. So I get it, but...

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Oh, I agree. I would not be a collector. It's a terrible job, but the advantage is the bonus. Some people just fill a seat, make their hourly rate, and don't push the issue.

It's soul sucking, but they are just humans. Most have no skills other than sitting on the phone all day and talking. They are terrible at tech lmao.

We will lose them as a client soon, and they will be someone else's problem. They are cheap af too but make BANK as a company. Somewhere in the range of 1 mill a month.

I believe in the Buddhist concept of "right livelihood"--one should not make their living to the detriment of others.

Yeah that's nothing like me, and nothing like what I do to make a dollar. Please speak for yourself.
