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.

Nothing I've done, as stupid as it might have been, has resulted in me having a worse life altogether or has destroyed/heavily negatively altered anyone else's life. It was stupid of me to move to a different country in a far away continent so young and without knowing how important other people's company was in my life (and, more importantly, without speaking the language fluently enough to feel comfortable enough to crack jokes and make friends!), I flunked out of uni, my visa expired and was massively depressed... but then I joined the army, became a national, God helped me find my now wife and my wife helped me find God. I would do it again, no hesitation.
The one thing I do regret is losing touch with one friend from my army days. I simply forget to reply and then months later I feel embarrassed to do so. I have somewhat changed my ways since, and he was married so it's not like they didn't have each other, but I still feel a little bad about that one.
