No Stupid Questions
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.

Hello! Fellow nurse here who's always been a night owl. I've been doing nights since I first started working. 5 8's are godawful and soul-sucking. I got depressed, lonely, crabby. Only put up with that as a new grad, I would never do that shit again.
3 12's are much better. I could do that and manage a life actually. Helps that I don't necessarily need daylight to do the things I like to do. I can still watch movies, play my video games, read, watch MMA and football, do home workouts, cook, go out for dinner and drinks, go to a concert, etc. I just need to plan around store hours. So I think in that aspect, it depends on the person and what activities they enjoy.
Now, currently I'm per diem working nights. It's the BEST. I mean I'm so fortunate lol. Plenty of work. I set my own schedule. No management around. Shift differential. I can take off for vacation whenever I want, just as long as I fulfill the 4 shifts/month minimum. So let's say I take a month vacation, I'd come back and grind out the shifts, put in overtime, pay the bills and credit card or whatever. Just when I'm getting real sick of work, I'll go on vacation again even if it's just a roadtrip.
So that's how I manage my work-life balance. It works bc I'm happy doing it. Helps that my partner and best friend is also an RN picking up the same schedule. No kids, no mortgage, just renting nearby work.
