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.

I’m completely and utterly burnt out of education, and queer anyway. I live in shithole, US and am desperate to move.

I am very good at math and science, and explaining how to do math to people. I have fairly severe ASD adjacent symptoms at the moment, eye contact is difficult and off putting tics or body posture are just not something I can’t avoid atm. This is a burnout phase, which I experience cyclically and is also related to periods of high stress.

I want a 9-5 with health insurance. I am hopelessly in forever debt, but live poor as shit anyway. I would like to move out of my shithole before they put on “f” on my drivers license. I have a decent size library that I want to transport to wherever I move.

I’ve had severe executive function breakdown related to actual physical torture and other things. What I am looking for is a path to owning a small home in a place that is welcoming to trans people and a job that requires less planning and more in the moment tasks. I have no desire to be wealthy, but I want a house with my name on it that no one can ever kick me out of.

I can program, I can read fast, I can pick up a lot of skills very quickly. I have a BA, BS, and most of an MS. I just can’t organize. I can’t plan out my to-do lists. I need something very difficult and interesting for someone to point me at.

You can't immigrate out of the US

True. That's called emigration. Immigration is arriving.

most other countries don't have nearly as permissive immigrarion laws as the US, especially if you're not a refugee.

That's literally the opposite of reality. The US has a problem with illegal immigration because legal immigration takes years, sometimes DECADES, and costs thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

As for refugees, the US has literally been criminalizing asylum seeking, which is a human right protected by international law that is followed by most countries, for almost a decade.

For the record, medical debt isn't real debt. Don't trust me, go Google around for it. Medical debt does not impact your credit score. So just don't pay.

Fun fact: over half of American personal bankruptcies are at least partly due to medical debt.

Bankruptcy isn't a magic reset button that lets you off the hook consequence-free (at least not for people with a net worth under $10m), and advising people to ignore debt is ignorantly irresponsible at best, malicious disinformation at worst.

True. That’s called emigration. Immigration is arriving.

Let me rephrase. You can't emigrate easily.

That's still not true, relative to emigrating TO the US.
