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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Don't be subtle. Be direct and frank. "Dad, I don't want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn't have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I'm not home." Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.
Grow up and move out? It's his mother fucking house.
You’re downvoted to hell but I mean, it’s true. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah totally, just pick one of the free houses and move in there with the stable personality you got from the well funded education system.
Frankly if you said this to me I'd probably begin fucking in every room of the house. Then I would fuck in front of you maintaining eye contact.
It’s crazy because I’m liberal as fuck, totally understand how cursed housing is but I still can’t take this as sarcasm.
I’m fully living on my own despite a horrible public school system, no college education, etc. Hell, I moved to Los Angeles with nothing but a backpack and $800 and no high paying job experience.
At some point you have to figure out your life and move on; sitting around and blaming everyone else for your problems won’t get you anything.
things people with privilege say
That sounds funny, because I actually have a free house and a stable personality from a well funded education system, but I said the exact opposite. I know my privilege. Life's tough and you gotta take all the advantage you can get. If you get a chance to get ahead, you're stupid not to take it, but you're even more stupid if you brag about it.
Seriously. We don't even know how old the poster is, just that their dad is 48.
I was 20 when my dad was 48. I was in college and was only 'home' over the summers and winter break (when the dorms closed). My brother was 15. I don't think it'd be reasonable to tell either of us to move out just because the adults in our lives were a tad indiscrete.
You don’t fucking know me bro. I’m not privileged in the least, the most I’ve borrowed from my parents is $20 and I worked for minimum wage all throughout my 20s.
Just because I’m not a deadbeat loser doesn’t mean I’m privileged.
i don't think you understand what privilege is bro
Explain please.
systemic privilege of this kind is the invisible little leg ups that folks don't realize are in fact giving them leg ups at all, leaving them wondering out loud why others just don't share their gumption!
Examples of privilege include but are not limited to being cisgender, being white, being literate, being financially literate, having a body shape that is whole and conforms to societal standards, having a mind that is undamagrd and conforms to societal standards, being male, having family with the willingness and ability to house and feed you temporarily if you need it, having a family that supports you emotionally, having access to clean food and air, having access to information.
'but that's just being a basic person!' you may think.
Social structures normalize the idea that those with these unearned advantages represent the baseline, leading to a general lack of awareness in the public like we see in this thread.
Get ready for him to reject this entirely
OP should definitely enforce boundaries, but this sounds like a fetish, which is fucked up, especially for the dad. If you're an adult, you know your child is in the next room, and you're banging at "max volume", you're wanting to be heard. 🤮
Doubtful.
I've been surprised at what and how much you can hear through a wall. Often it seems like you're being silent, but that headboard is gently tapping on the wall and reverberating out the other side like a jackhammer.
