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.

Don't suggest hobbies or human contact. It's been suggested and it doesn't work.

I have a job I don't particularly hate nor like, some coworkers I get along with others are just morons, I go to work, then buy groceries, go home, eat, watch tv, go to bed. Rinse and repeat.

On my free days I do sport and watch pirated netflix. I don't spend much money on clothing or media and save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea. I don't eat out because I like cooking my own food and restaurants are expensive and the food is bland.

Everything is so expensive nowadays btw...

Most people bore me. I'm like an atheist monk.

I don't want to kill myself or anybody fwiw. It's like I don't give a crap about anything or anyone and don't see what's the point of living.

I don't want to travel because it costs money.

As soon as my cognitive abilities start to fail I'm going to be very easy prey for any online scammer.

I wish that there was some sort of equivalent of Reddit gold… That is a fantastic comment, with a ton of useful advice. OP cooks his own food, a better way to find new food and things you’ve never come across otherwise, is by traveling. It really does broaden the mind, gives you a better perspective on things,… But Mr. ININ, I hope the best for you. You did some awesome stuff and can’t anymore. I feel your pain.

Op: see the world. Get the shittiest inside cabin you can on a cruise ship that goes to a bunch of different countries. Think of it like a sampler pack of that part of the world. If you see something that strikes you fancy, plan to go back. Plan all the things you want to do or see. Look on some guides online. If you don’t knowwhat to do with the money, you can’t take it with you, go do something with it.

Cruises are an environmental nightmare; we really should not be promoting them for any reason.

Cruise! ... that is one cheap way to visit a bunch of places.

Go sign up to a website called ... wwww.vacationstogo.com .... make a basic account with an email and then look for a link in the website called '30 day ticker' - it's all last minute cruise deals. Last minute cruise deals are not the same as last minute air fare deals. Air fare deals are usually discounted a few days or even a week or two before the flight. Cruises are discounted two months or a month before departure. The vacationstogo website is a general website that lists every deal from every cruise company. You can search through cruises going to anywhere in the world.

We stumbled on this site about ten years ago and we got on about 8 - 9 cruises in the Mediterranean. We basically used it as a glorified ferry to take us from one place to another. If you just leave your schedule open and take whatever is available you can literally cruise for almost nothing. We took several cruises to get from Spain to Italy ... 7 day cruises that cost $400 CAD ... all inclusive! It was cheaper to take the cruise and vacation for 7 days with free room and board than it was to fly to Italy and rent hotels and buy food. We once went with friends for 14 days for about $1,000 all inclusive ... that might sound like a lot but divided across 14 days that $70 a day to see 6/7 cities, all the food you want, no alcohol because we don't drink, don't bother with excursions, just go take a walk yourself, workout gym on the ship, and you get to be in giant hotel right in port in the centre of some of the most beautiful cities in the world.

My recommendation is ... go on the Mediterrean cruises to actually see fantastic cities, food and history ... go Caribbean if all you want to is party and see poor people in third world countries ... go Asian if you want to safely see a bunch of great Asian countries.

This is how we were able to see the pyramids in Giza. We took a random cruise to Turkey and one of the stops was Alexandria and Port Said, both ports that could take you to the Pyramids. We took the cheapest excursions on both just to see these great wonders and it was amazing.

If you're afraid of travelling, go on a cruise. We always joked that we could just grab a cruise from Montreal, New York or Florida, cross the Atlantic on a last minute deal, then just keep taking cheap deals once we arrived on the other side and then grab more cheap deals to head home and never use a plane the entire time.

God yes. Did 1 cruise and literally saw the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Michelangelo’s David, walked around in Pompeii, scaled a volcano, saw where the Olympics started, the Parthenon, amazing art (Birth of Venus just to name another), incredible food, incredible people. Spent months planning it, ton of pics, and now make some “new” dishes all the time.

OP: meds and a therapist. Meds to fix the chemistry, therapist to teach you how to live life happily.
