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.

Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends?


Juggling between Work, Family, Rest, and Traffic, seeing my friends once every two months is already good.

I'm just curious if there are others who actually see their friends at least once a week. How do you do it?

Not exactly young adult but I'm 35 and see friends almost weekly. If not in person I at least chat/voice chat with some of them.

I don't have kids, currently dating someone with 2 boys though. I don't take any overtime at work but I have online classes at night so I plan on dropping my hours by half. Also, I don't bring any work home with me. I separate the 2, religiously. (I am unionized, makes it easier to do so)

I live in a small city, far from any metropolitan area, people are so much more friendlier here.

IMO, it's all about hobbies. My hobbies align with most of my friends and I have more than one circle of friends.

I moved over 20 times in my life, different cities and all. So I know how to make new friends, I honestly think it's a skill. At the same time, friendship goes both ways, if you're the only one putting the work on the friendship, it's not really gonna work.

I have friends working on their PhDs and even post-PhDs (or whatever it's called) and they usually have time to see me / friends 3 or 4 times a month.

So yeah, I have a fulfilling social life, it's not like that all year round mind you, things change and people need breaks and what not sometimes.
