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.

You are the one listing off all the ways you are well off ... and then calling me jealous. It's kind of an embarrassing thing for you resort to but I think that's what you need to feel good about yourself. Literally the classic last resort is to call people jealous haters 😂
You are making assumptions about my ability to budget? You are saying I'll live in poverty? How about instead of trying to impress people online about your money, and trying to convince a leftist that you're a good guy, why don't you learn about solidarity. You're now talking about how you think you know your place in the social hierarchy? Like everything you say is just an admission of your allegiance to inequality.
I highly doubt that the work you do is worth the exponentially higher amount than other people, the amount that would be required for that to be your sole source of wealth. You have not taken any time to evaluate your actual place in the world, and who is suffering as a result of whatever your work is. So yeah you're dumb as hell and the only thing you have to say about it is "blah blah blah you poor jealous hater 😤"
Your lifestyle is a wealthy lifestyle. The "middle class" is something that only briefly existed in the 1950s, did not exist before that, and was quickly taken out. Look at actual numbers and not an outdated idealization.
Still rambling on with jealousy eh? I feel good about myself surrounded by my loving family and friends. I don't feel good about myself because I can afford a house and others can't.
You are jealousy is preventing you from accepting reality. It's also quite clearly what's holding you back.
You're so confused. You alternate between saying I'm trying to impress people and then I'm trying to deny it. I'm doing neither. I'm simply stating reality. A reality that you seem too dense to grasp and yes, you're absolutely impoverished and when I say that I'm not talking about your bank account, I'm talking about your mental abilities.
You keep bringing up jealousy 😂😂 you can't try to use that as an attack on me. You are the one who brought it up again and again. You literally brought it up again, and unironically called me jealous again.
And what is this assumption that I'm unhappy with my life lmao. I don't want two cars and a big house, I don't want anyone to have that. It's unsustainable. I've had wealthy people tell me they are jealous of my life because of my career ... I am not jealous of wealth I am angry at resource hoarding that prevents people from accessing basic amenities and people like you acting like they aren't participating in it or aren't even able to recognize their place in society as amongst the wealthiest.
You are trying to impress people, and simultaneously trying to downplay yourself as "upper middle class" instead of wealthy. You are in the top percent of income earners, and somehow think that you are not wealthy.
I keep bringing up jealousy because it's so evident how pathetic your mindset is when it comes to other people.
You're a failure. Not everyone who isn't a failure is wealthy. Some of us are just normal people living normal lives. A normal middle class life is exactly what I'm fortunate enough to be living.
You are just lying about your class status, you already admitted to living a lifestyle that matches with the upper percent of people.
