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.

To me it's having a goal and a deep burning desire to fulfill that goal.
If you're trying to ascertain what my ambitions are: I have none. You know in Office Space when asked what Peter would do if money was no object and he said he would do nothing? That's me. I don't want to do anything. In that way, my ambition is to do nothing while also not being stressed about doing nothing.
I left the question fairly open just to kick off conversation. I was mostly thinking about dating profiles after being on apps too long.
I can identify with a lack of a big neon sign goal or a bucket list. I don't really want to do nothing though. I have hobbies and the internet bill doesn't pay itself. It's just that my career goals are mostly avoid going into management and retire with enough savings. No need to be CEO or famous or get awards.
Like a lot of people struggle just to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. I haven't needed to chase promotions or hussle all the time to achieve well beyond that. Decent pay and some stability sounds pretty good to me. Maybe that's just boring to some or they'd just want next thing once that got the current thing.
Ambitions don't have to be professional though. That's something that I see a lot, where someone is deeply motivated to do something, but it doesn't involve money, so people blow it off. It's a little crazy. I don't actually see wanting to make a ton of money as being ambitious, I find it to just be greed. To me ambitious means doing something for a reason OTHER than money and power.
