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.

not really, at least in my situation. i've been married for over 5 years and my partner is absolutely my best friend and i can be my full self with them.
however, i also have a lot of other friends and acquaintances. each of them fills a different role in my life. all of them are unique. my partner doesn't have all of the same interests as me, but my friends all fulfill a different part of my personality that my partner cannot, and they also help support me through difficult times as a team.
it's really essential to have a support system and a wide variety of friends in your life. putting all your eggs in one basket isn't healthy or fair. adulthood can certainly be lonely. i'm approaching 30 and feel it now more than ever as people in my life go down different paths and we have less in common and less time for each other.
it's okay though. there are so many people in the world to connect with. you'll find your people.
undefined> less time for each other
This is what I mean, it's not a thing you do on purpose that you end up mainly talking to your spouse but all your friends have less time to spend
i get that. a lot of my friends are working on degrees or starting families. we don't have as much time to hang out anymore. one thing that's helped is expanding my social group. you don't have to be tight with every friend. you can have specific friends/acquaintances for specific hangout sessions. have you tried connecting with local groups to expand your social circle? i'm sure you have some hobbies. these are just examples i've seen in my area:
i'm not sure where you live, but you're bound to find something. facebook is a garbage platform but one thing it's good at is getting you up to date with local events and local groups. don't like facebook? try finding local discord groups.
