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.

I feel like I would make use of it more if I could do it again. Maybe that's weird, I don't know.

Edit; To ask more of a question. What would you do differently?

Yes. I was wrongly diagnosed with a learning disability. Any failure meant the program was necessary. Any success meant the program was working. One time of many, I was actually told "you might be depressed if you fail in the regular classes." Well, staying in the remedial classes only made me depressed anyway. At least if I did fail they're, it would actually be my own failure I'm living with.

Now, I'm just trying to get through an online high school so I can bypass community college. I tried CC before, but the "Cs get degrees" attitude I got from the teacher reminded me too much of the remedial classes.

Going back, I would push harder for better classes and if they still refused, just go anyway or transfer. Nothing is worst then living up to their expectations.

It's hard but worthwhile swallowing one's pride to check the necessary boxes that allow opportunity. Equally important is not to be dissuaded by watching others get by 'the easy way', their impact on your life will be fleeting looking back.

? That's a bunch of assumptions. Why do you assume I haven't found opportunity or success? Just not along the high school diploma path.

Equally important is not to be dissuaded by watching others get by ‘the easy way’, their impact on your life will be fleeting looking back.

What does this even mean?
