No such thing. Ask away!

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.

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.

Buy bitcoin and take more shits
Eat healthy and exercise, your body will last longer
Go buy a lottery ticket, here's the historical record of the winning numbers.
Nobody cares that you forgot their name if you just fess up and own it. You don’t have to pretend.
Sorry, I’m bad with names. Can you remind me?
It’s that easy.
Stop chasing exes through your 20s. Especially the one from a different country. Even if it didn't crash and burn it never would have worked anyway just due to immigration
Doing well in school doesn't mean you don't have ADHD
Take that money you were saving for university and buy Apple stock. Still move to the university town and hang out on campus, but skip the tuition fees and going to class; spend the time while others are in class working for a few years and putting more money into Apple stock.
Cash out some of that money a few years later and use it for a cheap bachelor’s degree; leverage that to get into the field you want to be in.
Then later, cash out some more to buy property… say, around 2008. But keep feeding more money in.
Moral of the story: do insider trading, no more worries!
Hey dipshit the reason you don't feel very attached to your gender norms is because you're trans. Have fun living on hard mode lol. Also don't accept drugs from that stranger in the parking lot because finding out their ulterior motives while high isn't worth the free drugs...
Ask your parents to take you to a psychiatrist and have you tested for ADHD. Throw things at them until they say yes.
Girls want to date / fuck just as much as you do... So be cool, just chill... Work on your self, be the best version of you that you can be... Work on your communication, be upfront honest and forthcoming.
You'll be fine.
"Call CPS"
You know how you think George W. Bush is the worst president we've ever had or ever will have? Well in 2017 you're going to wish he was in office. Also, go to school in a foreign country so you can be a permanent resident there.
"Don't marry that girl."
Felt this in my wallet
You're bipolar, you just hide it well.
Get your meds sorted before college or you're gonna wind up dropping out.
Also, its a seizure disorder, it just doesn't present typically; and its medication resistant. Keep trying. That alone is gonna set you back about 10 years.
The world is waaay dummer and less fair than you think so don’t stress about things too much cause it’s rigged anyway.
Having said that, persistence does eventually get you there
A number of things, except I think a bunch of them would be sorted if I just got diagnosed with adhd by high school
Stop looking for love and learn to love yourself. You are at your best when you are alone and not torn between introversion and tending to a relationship. It's one or the other and you always default to the former. Always has been.
Quit university and learn a proper job.
(in the end I did, but it took way too long for me to make that decision)
mine would be like this but more get an associates then finish up with a cs degree fast and start making money asap and buy property asap.
I would tell myself to not push emotions away, since they would inevitably return as anxiety.
I agree but would add, find a therapist sooner to learn the coping skills sooner.
Hi me, the post-secondary you're planning on going to is trash, please consider getting better grades in highschool as getting a job is significantly harder than you think unfortunately and also switch to Linux faster than everyone else holy hell you'll come out better at the end
It's not a bad thing to get help from a therapist.
Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.
Also college is a waste, don’t do it.
When you were thinking about buying $100 of Bitcoin when they were $0.20 a piece, fucking do it, then sit on it for a decade.
I seriously thought about it, and talked myself out of it because it sounded like a good way to lose $100 and it would probably only lose value anyway.
It would be worth $50 million today.
The best time to get into crypto was at the very beginning, it's not even worth gambling with now.

That's assuming you'd actually be able to cash out.

That's what they said 5 years ago and bitcoin has doubled in value since then.
Run.
You're never going to "find yourself" so even though you find programming mind numbingly boring learn web dev and get in early, make money, and buy amazon & nvidia stock. Don't stay local for that girl, go away to college, she's going to leave you anyway. Then I'd tell them to slap me as hard as they can since I almost entirely fucked their future.
Stop searching. There’s nothing to find.
Cut a few millimeters to the right. You somehow missed all the important parts.
Bitcoin!!! Also change your name on your 18th birthday. No one will know unless you tell them. Amazon hires anyone. Work there, apply to a housing lottery, drop out of high school, be free. Get a GED if you really want to, with your name on it and not ugly ugliness.
Jesus..
I was like "huh.. Bitcoin. That seems fun." In like 2009 or what ever.
I wish I'd put $500 in it when it was like ,010c
Woulda shoulda coulda I guess.
This comes up a lot. The fact is that almost everyone who mined a few dozen BTC back then would have sold it when it reached $100. No one ever thought back in 2009 that it'd be worth what it is now.
Yeah 100% I would have sold. I don't have diamond bands at all.
But what if ya know? Lol
I had two giant servers sitting under my desk when bitcoin started up. I was trying to decide whether to put them to work mining bitcoin or using them for seti at home. Well I decided to go with seti. And I am actually complacent with that decision, because had I got into bitcoin I know that I would have some sort of anxiety over when I sold, or what I paid for something like a pizza. I know those people who are searching trash dumps for their old hard drives are just in a weird hell that I am glad I never put myself in that situation.
You know.. years later I did the crypto say trading bull shit.
I made like $5k but the "cost" was horrible. I didn't sleep well.. always tracking things on my phone or computer. Afraid the bottom would fall out and I'd lose my small fun money. It was absolutely an awful experience.
Push the button.
Throw every cent you have at that little company called Yahoo.
You are not as strong as you think you are. Lift with your legs, not your back.
Stop drinking, bitch boy.
