A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

How is everybody holding up lately? I'm trying to see what everyone else is doing to survive this hell hole we call America?

Gave all that up during the cord-cutting movement in the 2010s and haven’t looked back. Dumped new car loans and leases. My current car is a 2016, and it’s the only one we have in my little family. We work together to do all the things we want.

Diverted most of that money into investments and savings and can travel a lot more.

I still have some subscriptions, but they are fairly unique services or software for which FOSS alternatives are just too much of a headache for me.

I try to fill my time away from screens and electronics, and as a result I’ve been much happier.
