Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Oh man, probably deep into World of Warcraft, absolutely “no-lifing” it. Dropping in and out of community college. Not many friends. Living on my own for the first time. Not taking care of myself.

Frolicking around in the evenings while all the other neighborhood kids looked on in annoyance.
My wife and I had just moved 400 miles the previous year and bought a house. She started a new job and we had our first child, who apparently is the same age as you.
Still vaguely optimistic I'd graduate from uni some day in the near future and find work as a translator for English and Japanese. (I only stopped trying to graduate 10 years later and I have been paid a lifetime total of 150 euros for translations.)
I was also able to sleep 8 hours most nights. Those truly were the days.
On the upside, I hadn't yet discovered Doctor Who which two years later would, depending on who you ask, either greatly improve my life (quote me) or make me an obsessed weirdo (quote the husband).
All within about a month, early summer:
- working at a startup
- got married
- honeymoon (visited 2 new countries)
- moved into a new job-role
- first IPO
Watching Smosh. That channel has certainly changed.
