Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

No food in the house. Everyone who had a job bought food for themselves. I, being 16 at the time, didnt have that luxury.
Jesus christ, where the fuck are your parents/guardians. You were still a minor ffs.
I feel sorry that you had to deal with that.
Knew a guy back in the day who, as a kid, used to cry himself to sleep at night with hunger. He was the most cheerfully violent human I've ever met. Kinda like a skinny Amos Burton, without the sociopathy, well, maybe a little. Seriously nice guy! Man said he never lost a fight, and I believe him. Only picked fights with larger men. BTW, his last name was Fight. Can't even make that up.

Aight, that got a sensible chuckle, got a picture in my head.
Parents mismanaged the funds. But hey, we got to make the rent payment on a PS4 and Flat-screen TVs!
Jokes aside, it was a dysfunctional house. It came down to survival mode that week.
