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.

Spend several hundred to move and get set up, cut your yearly expenses by tens of thousands of dollars.
It's not a tricky equation.
No you won't. It's much cheaper to travel than you are pretending.
My numbers are from experience and current ticket prices.
It's under $300 right now to fly to most countries in South America or Europe, the Bahamas, under $500 to fly anywhere in Asia and this is the most expensive time of the year because of the lunar New Year, my ticket last month was 270 usd from new York to Hong Kong.
Haha, no I'm definitely not.
Someone claimed specifically that it cost tens of thousands of dollars to travel to another country after I claimed these exact prices.
Nobody said they were. People asked about the cost of a flight, I provided the relevant current data.
But you're grossly exaggerating the difficulty of moving abroad, especially for Americans. You're also wrong on most of your points, you sound like you have no experience living abroad.
There are 148 visa-free countries Americans can live in perpetually, many for initial stays of several months, or you can buy a visa for a nominal fee and stay as long as you like, reapplying every several years or more.
You do not need a lawyer to move to these places. You do not need a lawyer for your visas.
You do not need a place to stay "accounted for" or a job already secured.
You sound scared and are obviously ignorant about the practicalities of moving abroad, but don't make shit up that is so easily disproven and frankly ridiculous.
Ask your questions. I've answered others in detail and have so far backed up everything I've said with screenshots and simple fact checks.
Again, you're the only person trying to make that false equivocation, apparently because you have no leg to stand on.
Make up stories and run away
Since you keep trying to scare people based on your own baseless, ignorant fears, I'll say that the costs of moving to most of these countries permanently is not much more than the cost of traveling there, for the benefit of anyone trying to learn
LOL okay boomer
Prices from New York, boomer:
Prices from; 1 available. Those ain't market, they're marketing.
Incorrect and then wrong
Here you go, boomer.
Do me a solid. Just go get on a plane to any one of those places. Just step off the plane and just live there. No visas or any other nonsense. You're the smart one and know better. Only 300 bucks to fly! These guys are just dumb.
Go grab a job and just live there.
Have fun, smart guy!
Have done. Yes, that's correct, no other nonsense. It's why I encourage others unhappy with their financial lot in the states to do the same, because it's so simple to change one's life.
As a note, visas are not some unobtainable holy grail. You fill out a,few pages of an application, pay 30-60 bucks and you can stay in the country you choose for extended periods , often years rather than months.
It takes twenty minutes to fill out most visa applications, it's not the complicated, herculean talk you're making it out to be.
Cool! Go ahead and let me know! Send me some pics it'll be sweet!
Let you know what? How to fill out visa applications?
They're very self-explanatory.
