Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The only uniquely human pursuits are art and human connection. Those both fly directly in the face of what our sick society values. There is no freedom (or success and sustainability) until we find a way to end runaway consumption.
Runaway consumption is a choice by individuals.
Many of my friends just seem to be like Coneheads. That was not how I was raised. I dislike buying anything, unless I really have to.
My phone is 4 years old, another in my family is from 2017. My car is almost 20. I refuse to buy shit just to have something "new".
Don't blame the seller for what the consumer wants (except for all the dark patterns, marketing BS, etc - now that I can squarely put on the companies, and would like a return to tighter controls, and stronger legal options).
