A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

At least half of those are not unique to the United States. Lots of countries have problems with militarised police. And of course racism is universal.
Nobody does racism like the Italians.
In before the Balkan countries start arguing about who's better at racism
Middle East, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yes, maternity leave! The US approach is bonkers.
I don’t get two weeks holiday yet. 5 days this year and I had none my first year.
You're actually fucking kidding me, right? That's... inhuman. Can you move overseas?
I wish. I’m looking at other jobs now that I have some time off for interviews.
Yep. You're fortunate if you get 2 weeks in the US as a general rule.
