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.

The trick I use is: I am here to exchange time for money. Whatever happens during that time, I really don't care. The company tells me what to do during those hours and I do it to the best of my ability. Someone complains at me? I don't care. Someone makes me do extra work? I don't care. Someone's having fun behind the trash compactor for the fourth time this month? I don't care. A customer attacks me because we're out of a particular single beer can, even though we have it in different sizes and multipacks? ...ok, that one was fucking hilarious in retrospect and I've dined out on that story for a decade.
I tried REALLY hard to get my wife to see it this way when she was in a shitty job. But in our situation, it was 20 hours/4 days a week, and we didn't NEED the money. She has a guaranteed income from a work injury until a year after retirement age which (in addition to my income) is just enough for us to live on, her income from that job was all gravy and made a pretty massive impact to our financial comfort levels. I begged her to just let it slide, ignore the shitty managers and the lazy coworkers and all the petty vindictive bullshit and look at it as 20 hours out of her week for us to have fun money. But nope, she couldn't. ๐ข
I've found a lot of people get hung up on small details, or have trouble prioritising tasks.
