No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

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.

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.

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.

So i started living back with my mom when i was in my late 20s, i lost a 70k job due to bullshit. Then i got back to working hoping to move out..... and..... covid hit..... i was laid off after a year, and i just havent got back to working. I live with my mom who is disabled and in very bad health over conditions i dont know how to spell. Then i got a dui after my old boss died, i wasnt even driving just sitting in the car drunk by a lake. So now i cant drive for another couple years and am finding it hard to work some whete close that i can get a ride that also doesnt make me be around a shit ton of people who i might get sick from and then bring it back to my mother.
No i didnt answer your question, but i tried to outline the why of someone living back with their parents.
Were you going to sleep by that lake, or did the cops just catch you a bit early for your taste?
I was sitting writing in a book when the park ranger came by, he asked me to move my car and as soon as i took it off the hand brake it rolled backwards. So i asked him to call the police to help deal with the situation. So i really brought it upon myself but i thought they would help pull a car out from the water? But instead they let it sink when a simple whinch wouldve gotten it out. So yeah its my fault
Wow someone down voted me in 4 minutes. Bot? Or just some asshole?
Why care about downvotes?
Because he was open and vulnerable and shared a very personal part of his life and immediately someone down voted him.
Dont down vote him, he's right in questioning me. I actually thought more about my response because of him.
Today is the day you stop drinking my friend
I have interviews coming up, so fuck it after tonight i won't drink till i work toward a new job.
Give us an update when you get a new job, see how long you can go :)
Sarcasm aside, ive worked every job ive had for at least 3 years, besides when i worked at walmart for 9 months. So what do you honesty expect? Fuck your :).
There was no sarcasm, I meant "see how long you can go :)" as in "see how long you can go without drinking, I'm rooting for you", it was meant to be supportive. Sorry if it didn't come across like that.
Even thinking that you didnt mean anything by it, it still sounded like you did. So i apologize
No worries, I should've been more specific in my comment
I read that as being supportive, man. "Hey check in with us when you get a job, let us help you stay accountable."
Hmmm why? Im not saying drinking isnt bad for me, but as of tonight- what bad has drinking done to me?
You could argue your DUI, but you could also argue that cop just fucked you.
Naw i fucked myself over. I soberly parked on a boat ramp. Then drank like 5 shots, or something but i consumed enough to get me drunk on police scales. When the park ranger said i had to leave i went back in the drivers seat and tried to drive off, but i couldnt because i i waited to long by the river and my back wheels starting turing and losing traction. So i asked the park ranger to call the cops to help and i was charged instead assisted
Yeah it’s unfortunate you had to learn that lesson the hard way, but cops are not there to help you in any way regardless of the ridiculous “protect and serve” slogan they love to use. They’ve literally fought and won multiple cases to prove they don’t have to help people. It’s fucked.
Yeah i now know. I shouldve just called my insurance because a bit of towing wouldve solved everything. But thats in the past now and im living with the consequences of it. It sucks but there isnt anything i can do about it now.
I shouldnt i know, but thinking about all that really bothered me. And then i see not even 5 minutes later a downvote. Im drunk right now so it honestly bothered me. Im not sure what else to say.
