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.

May not be true depending on where OP lives. There are a lot of rent vs buy calculators out there, and home prices are so expensive in some areas that it's actually better financially to rent instead of own, and to invest the difference in payments. For example that's the case where I live in San Francisco - investing the difference between rent payments and mortgage payments nets me more in the long run, even considering housing value appreciation.
Edit: this of course doesn't apply to investment properties, where you get the value of the asset + appreciation, but also get rental payments.
yup SF bay area. buying a house is only a good idea if your parents are funding the down payment.
List of things you can do if houses are too expensive where you live:
Improve your life by moving to a shithole rural area where houses are cheap?
Better than living in a shithole urban area where the cheapest rent is 2/3rds of your income.
Oh no, such a shithole, no one likes it here that's why prices are through the damn roof lol
Cities are expensive because the country sucks balls so anyone with two braincells to rub together moves to the city.
Cities are expensive because idiots would rather dump 2/3rd of their income on rent just to hear the neighbors screaming all day and night through the paper thin walls of their apartment.
Stay miserable.
Sounds like you're the miserable one lol
Have fun driving to the nearest restaurant, which is an Applebee's
I love the implication that there's no junk food restaurants in cities lmao.
I can bike to the nearest restaurant. It's a small Indian mom and pop owned place that sells better food for cheaper price than anything in your city.
Keep begging for your walkable cities, I'm sure one day you'll be able to cross a road without fearing for your life.
