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.

Apart from my mortgage, I'm finally debt free, and I'm running a surplus every month after all the bills are paid.

Well, except what we jokingly refer to as my "cripling gambling-induced credit card debt"; I returned some bottles while at the store the other day. The payout wasn't a lot, but enough to cover the mundane items I was buying. Instead of dealing with the bottle return receipt I pushed that button where it buys you a small lottery ticket instead and the money is donated to red cross. Not surprisingly, I didn't win. When at the checkout counter I realized that my GF still had my usual card after borrowing it earlier, so I had to use my credit card to pay the laughably small sum.

The other day I made butter chicken and it was one of the best butter chickens I'd had, at least as good as restaurant quality. Can't wait to make it again and it was my 2nd try ever so I think I nailed it pretty quick. Wicked proud of that.

End of life hardware replacement at work. Deadline for the project is in a few weeks. Our engineering team just sent out a new BIOS upgrade for devices that get them up to TPM 2.0 which is the main requirement for the project. We went from ~5 completions a week to under one now to stay on track. Wasn't really too worried about it but it will make work a piece of cake for a little.

My partner and I both woke up early and are getting breakfast together

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Great way to start a day!

Nah, it’s a low bar to clear. Was something good today? Could be small, tiny, infinitesimal, anything really. If things are bad today, but they were horrible before, that counts too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

oh things have been horrible. I think the cobra has fixed its eff up and we have insurance but it won't show on the portal for another day or two and we already had to cancel the near term appoinments. will see if I can get glasses this weekend.

Didn't happen in my life, but in the life of a family member and that makes me very happy as well. My sister got a permanent job at a place she did an internship in last year. It's a job in her career, half the number of hours she is currently doing working at a spa, making more money, and it's a 90% remote role. She gets to be with her 8yo son, my nephew, almost all the time he is at home now. It also means my brother in law can take more hours at his job, thus overall getting to live more comfortably.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Amazing! Big leap forward for her family!

As my mom would say- I woke up on the right side of the dirt.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Hard to be mad in the moment when my 9 month old smiles, makes me forget about the mess for a while

Wish I could look my kids in the eyes again when they were that little. Congrats! I hope for many healthy years.

My mom sent me a Weckmann for the St Martins feast because we don't have those here.

It's fat and ugly and missing an eye (ugh, raisins, don't like them anyways) and I love it!

Cool. Can you explain what that is, please? And what's the white stick thing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

A sweet bread figure. The white thing is a pipe. Sometimes it's substituted with a lollypop. I have no idea why they are sold for this feast.

They are supposed to look more like this:

Although I've never seen them with nuts.

My parents, in their 70s, started receiving a guaranteed income supplement (they're Canadian). They're still poor, but finally they can afford the basics of survival without having to work full time.

It's such a huge change.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

I'll bet that's a load off of your mind.

Went to visit my elderly aunt, she's the oldest one in our immediate family at this point. We went out to eat at a local pizza place too, Don't think I've ever been to a restaurant with her before

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Cool! Hope it's a memory you can cherish.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I slept all day yesterday and slept in this morning as well and my skin looks beautiful

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Sleep is important!

We switched my son's Pre-K for a number of reasons. Mostly because they didn't have room for him in the older class (where he belongs), but also because it was kinda trashy, kinda franchisee, and every day we dropped him off he was crying and clinging harder and harder. The new school is just some lady running something out of her house.

A friend asked him what he's thankful for last night and he said, "My new school" 😭😭

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

That's great! First and foremost, kids need to feel comfortable when they go to school.
