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.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Current Country: USA. Absolutely fucked.
Current State and City: Eh, just the average bullshit, nothing bad as the federal
Former Country: PRC. Absolutely fucked x2. Except there wouldn't even be a "No Kings" type of widespread protest. Corruption everywhere. There is no "FDA" (or if there is, they never do anything about food safety), there is no "FTC", there is no "FDIC", there is no laws protecting consumers like if some fraudster stole money from your bank, oh well, (at least bank in the US might help you). No Medical privacy laws. And no "ADA" equivalent. No independent unions (there is supposedly a government controlled one that does jack shit), very lax worker safety regulations, and if your employer doesn't pay you, good luck, there's no government agency that'll help you. For a country that obsess about control regulation, there sure is a lack of regulation ๐ค.
Seems like the EU is the final beacon of actual freedom and prosperity, but unfortunately, I probably don't qualify to immigrate to.
