There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Talking about the things that are working well for you in your life is fairly natural. But the fact that you feel like you're an ad suggests that maybe you're doing it too often.
We cannot know everything about the businesses that we interact with, so I don't think we need to feel guilty if we later learn that a business is shady. Actually, if you occasionally mention the businesses that you endorse, you might find that people will tell you about some of those shady business practices. And that can be stressful because it might sound like a personal attack, but it's also an opportunity to take another look at your current situation and figure out what you want to do in the future.
It's not that I feel like that, as I don't talk much about these things, and I don't because even the little I might sometimes feels that way. It's more of a conflicted feeling than feeling outright like an ad, as in that it can come across as promotional even if it may simply be talking about a good experience.
