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.

The people who respond to everything with "no one owes you anything" and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps".
We all know no one owes us anything, going out of your way to respond like this, actually shows malice.
EDIT: Thank
And these are also the types that claim that individual acts of charity are all we need to solve homelessness, hunger, etc. These assholes didn't get rich by giving it away.
No, you need industrial scale organizations, that are funded by large groups of individuals, and create services for free. Specifically, homes, and living conditions.
I dunno. I feel like the US owes me several years of my life back. I'm not even a US citizen, but their bullshit effected me and my family so badly after 2008 I'm still pissed about it.
And what happened in 2008?
We will deal with everything that can be dealt with, over time.
FWIW it's "pull" not "pool".
I dunno, I seem to have to remind entitled brats that no one owes them anything not to be mean, but just to remind that in the real not everyone is your mom or dad. Life is tough, you need to earn your spot.
Do I? From whom? Who owns all these spots and why are we beholden to earn one from them?
Those darn spoiled kids, back in my day we had to suck our landlord's d*** twice every day if we wanted a roof over our heads
