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 would like to add a description (details), but it would be a very long text.

In short: I have depression, multiple chronic illnesses, C-PTSD, ADHD (btw, I could treat it with Adderall/Adderall XL, but there all drugs are banned, even for medical purposes), no money to rent on my own, poor physical and mental health, some basic things I don't have money for, I don't have a computer and it seems that my laptop will soon broken...

I can’t go to a psychologist because... the quality of education and medicine in this country is terrible, and it’s dangerous to say "everything" here, my mother recently worked, but now she’s left without work and starts doing some kind of crap, she was the one who brought in the income until this time; she feeds me fast food. In this country everyone doesn't give a sh*t about each other, I am surrounded by “broken” people, this is a country full of cynics, sociopaths, and narcissists (consider mentally ill... and genetically defective, apparently).

Like this... I am spoiled, my life and my future are spoiled.

If we talk about physical labor, you will have to work a lot and you will earn very little. However, you will receive your salary in rubles, and their value is falling and falling every day.

Now the RuSSian Central Bank, as usual, is “artificially” holding the ruble (this bullshit has happened more than once), but you can’t fool the economy, and everything will go even worse in a couple of months.

Gotta start somewhere. It would be enough to rent your own place and get out from under your mother.

I agree that you need to start somewhere, but even if you have a higher education, working without stress - 30k rubles (~$300) is the "ceiling" in this country.

Renting a more or less normal apartment costs from 30k rubles per month.

What will you have to live on if you only have to pay 3k for utility bills (10% of your salary), and ~10k for food, it’s a mystery...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

You can complain about "ceiling" and you can complain about medium salary. But all of this complaining does not get you anywhere.

You can start somewhere and earn something, or do not start and earn nothing.

First apartments suggested somewhere on Avito are usually nicer ones for a short term rent to party, guest stay in city or whatever. A shitty room in a soviet-made building when you talk to an owner directly can cost you way less than 30k. Again, VK groups or some limits by price would serve you better.

Being poor is being smart about money. If you need a place just to sleep and browse internet and don't mind walking around to find a better deal on groceries, you can leave dirty cheap.

It won't up to the living standards, but if you genuinelly want to escape your mother, maybe even that's worth it.

I also remembered the other job – month-long shifts in the northern part of the country that pay well even for the simpliest labor. But you need to be fit for that idea and be double sure it wouldn't send you to dig trenches.
