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 [email protected] or [email protected]. 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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Not at the time, not for him, really. I mean, neither of us work there anymore. I'm not talking about office work. We were marine mechanics, working on big diesel engines. The job doesn't support city living (unless you're in a shared apartment). I was the only one in our crew who lived in the city.

There are thousands of similar situations in any expensive area, necessary jobs that don't pay enough for their location.

I see, thanks for the explanation. Hope both you and him some day find jobs which allows you to free up your time.

Edit: or you know, whatever you value

Thanks! I'm happy to report that I have, and last I checked, so had he.
