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.

It's hard and may not happen. As Forrest Gump said:
Because of what you said that it may not happen ? Any reason or something gonna happen in between friends after certain months or years ?
Just life. I'm in my 50s. People change, move, fade in and out of my life. Over the years I've had many acquaintances, a handful of good friends, and one best friend. Now my best friend I've been friends with for decades. We may only email/text/call every couple weeks/months, and at this point we don't meet up but once or twice every year or two. When we do, it's like no time has passed. The same stupid jokes, the same taste in entertainment, similar philosophical discussions, etc. The bond was forged through experiences we had growing up together. I can't see developing another friend like that again because I lack the naivety, energy, and freedom (really just youth) that I once had.
I said it may not happen, because it's a commitment. Not a conscious one. It's, as I said before, life. Situations come up, life changes, close friends move away physically or emotionally. They may come back into your life, they may not. But having a "best" friend is something I think I took for granted a long time before noticing that a lot of people's "best" friend is often talked about in past tense.
On the other hand, I have some friends who have a best group of friends. That is to say, a handful of people who have stuck together for decades and really work as a best friendship group. I've always been a little envious of that.
You are also right. Nothing is permanent in life. I always keeps in mind that we shouldn't completely depend or live for others.
