Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm 46. No elder yet but I've done some stuff that formed me in a good way.
Do shitty jobs for a while. And I say that with the most respect because I've done them all.
It'll teach you to appreciate good jobs later in life.
Travel abroad and interact with people. Profound experiences will follow. You'll open up to other cultures and opinions.
Travel on foot or by bike and camp. You'll view our planet and nature in a different way.
Build routines. Everyday routines are obvious but try to embrace some more periodical routines like gathering with some friends around the solstices. I invite people around winter solstice every year without them knowing the occasion. Nothing big, just some simple food and drinks. No party, just getting together. Campfire at night is tradition. I try to invite new people to the group every year and nobody is obliged to come. Life can be busy as you get older.
Value experiences over possession but don't throw away your money. Life altering experiences don't have to cost much. You can travel nearby or on the cheap.
If you like to draw, follow some entry drawing classes. If you don't like to draw, follow some photography classes. Entry level stuff is fine. It'll teach you to be a better spectator. (Learning how to look at and interpret art teaches you the same skill)
