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.

Well, I don't live in a place like that, so there's that. Consider moving to a better city for young people for a few years.
Totally true. Some cities/places are just not good for meeting people. Some have very insular and closed off social cultures, others are more open.
I don't have words for how much of a useless boomer answer this is.
the stakes of moving will never be lower than in your early 20s. one of my regrets is definitely not taking more risks, because worst case scenario I literally would've just moved back home without any judgement. obviously that's not everyone's situation, but it is the average American in their early 20's situation.
I don’t think it’s about the stakes and more the money that nobody has to move with
kids in their 20s can literally rent a room in a furnished house with a bunch of other 20 year olds. there are jobs in tourism that will give housing and let you experience amazing destinations that our grandparents would've had to save their whole lives to be able to see. like yes, it will require grit, compromise, hard work- but the rewards are so much better than sitting around your hometown thinking you have no way to get out. You do! You just have to be willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to fail.
Roommates are still a thing.
How much do you think a room costs with roommates, and how much do you think your job in tourism is going to pay?
I’m currently paying $600 a month with roommates. In a very populated city.
There’s more opportunities in cities compared to rural areas and no matter how you split it, that’s the truth.
Fair enough, I think I agree
Cities are better for dating. More people, more third places.
Ya'll have third places? That don't charge by the minute?
On any day of the week, there are meetups for board games, dancing, yoga, music, etc.
There are sober “bars”. There are book clubs. There are regular bars and dance clubs. There’s a bunch of churches.
There’s a lot to do and a lot of people to meet when you’re in a city.
The only one I listed that you have to buy something are the regular bars and you only have to buy 1 drink.
They should get a better job while they’re at it.
There’s more job opportunities in cities, too.
They should get a second job, if they really want it.
Its beautiful, isn't it?
