      I thirteened this. I don’t take those substances and I have yet to find a place where the food tastes about half as gourmet as my own cooked meals.

        The “what would you do” type of questions where everyone shares their subjective opinions is exactly the type of question asklemmy is for. Nostupidquestions is for questions seeking objective answers.

      So I take it that you interpret “no stupid questions” to mean “don’t post stupid questions.” The way I interpret it is “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”

      The sidebar says “No such thing. Ask away!” So I think the idea is that people should feel free to ask any question assuming they really want an answer. However, joke or troll questions (and I don’t think this is either one), are allowed on Fridays.

        No, I interpret this community as a safe place to get answers for questions you’d be scared to ask because you think you’d get judged.

        I see asklemmy as the place to ask fun trivia and make fun conversations.

        I’m afraid people who have awkward questions might get scared away from the community if questions-for-fun like these were common.

          Houston is likely to have an expensive house next to a heroin car wash, then a museum, then a crazy expensive apartment building, then a housing project. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Weirdest-images-from-Houston-s-lack-of-zoning-laws-9171688.php

    There will be a lot of strangers in the stairwell in my apartment building.

    If the place was actually called “Temptation Mart”, I would be very suspicious, a Temptation usually means that if you fall for it, something bad will happen.

      You know those three packs of tall boys convenience stores sell? I see guys get out of their pickups to buy them after work on weekdays and I’m under the impression they’re doing it for portion control. 30 racks are massively more economical but I think they’d only last two days for some people, so they overpay every day in exchange for not showing up hungover.

      So, sounds like no matter how full your fridge is, you drink the same amount.
