!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:
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It was the only thing I’m really good at, and I enjoy doing it.
Turns out, I like doing it for me, not as much doing it for some big corpo. But hey, I’m still good at it.
Now I get to do it for me again, cause I started my own business, and I’m a lot happier than I was in my twenties and early thirties.
Might be obvious, but see what topics or broad subjects you like or dislike and use them to narrow down your options. Also applies to skills or processes. If you enjoy creating something from scratch or solving problems for example, that could help you decide on a career or category of careers you'd have fun (or at least not dread) doing. For an admittedly extreme example I've been set on engineering since sixth grade not because I had some pre-existing passion for R&D or building stuff, but because I liked math and science (but not biology, fuck biology) and hated memorization (and humanities pretty much by extension). If you don't have the information about yourself to choose these kinds of criteria, then you should try new stuff until you do. This could be coding, a new language or even sewing or whatever, but the best way to get to know yourself is to expose yourself to new things and see what sticks and what doesn't.
It was an accident
Well. First my body made it clear I had to eat and drink. Then it became clear I had to have shelter. Then I realized I just have to do whatever I can get my hands on doing to not die. So that's what I'm doing.
Unless your mommy and daddy have a lot of money, you're not going to have a whole lot of choice in the matter. You're just going to do what you have to.
