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.

How close can I easily come to seeing all hourly job offers in my area sorted by hourly earnings? (Obv not saying there aren't other considerations, but I want to consider them in order of pay)

Go on Indeed, enter your zip code (assuming US), sort by salary. It's gonna be a lot of C-suite jobs and medical doctor positions.

In my experience Indeed is a very poor source of information. Picking the name of your city will invariably select all instances of that city name on the planet, making the quality of the result suspect if not outright misleading.

Source: I live in Perth, scattered across 17 cities in 7 countries.

You fool! You've doxxed yourself!

Different folks, different strokes, different threat models.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

He was joking lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Indeed is very accurate in my field

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I can't find a sorting option but I had been on an intro page when I'd checked before posting so I couldn't even select a minimum hourly pay, sorry, def a stupid question. Thank you!

Tons of forklift driver and equipment operator positions on there. I got certs and shit, sill not getting hired.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bud, if you got hired, you'd have to delete this account, so I think you really need to ask yourself what is most important in life.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

i can't parse this. you think i wouldn't delete an account? or i wouldn't get hired? go ahead hit me.

Hey there, perhaps I can offer some assistance. What you are looking at here is called a joke, and its goal wasn't to offend you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

well NOW i'm offended sheesh

I invite you to fight me until you've severed all my limbs and I shall nonetheless defeat you in rhetoric while i bleed out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand the joke. Can you explain it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Their username is "unemployedclaquer"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

hey wait i can explain

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

its going to be mostly professional that requires significant degree with experience, or "c-suite shilles

I doubt (and am unaware) of any such database. If you are trying to figure out what type of work you want to apply for, is encourage you to reach out and call people who are doing jobs you can see yourself doing. Ask for an informational interview. Most people (in my field) are happy to chat with others who are interested and are usually very open about what areas have the best pay/balance/freedom/room for growth.

Setting aside the question of data availability, do job offers even have a strong association to post codes or even specific cities or regions anymore? On one end, some jobs are definitely location-based, such as in-home hospice work. In the middle would be jobs open to an entire area, such as construction worker. And at the opposite end are remote jobs which anyone in the country can apply for, and that's only due to HR not wanting to deal with employment laws in foreign countries; fully-remote software jobs can be like this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Is it a thing in some jurisdictions to have like a master list of available jobs? Like 100% employment. Or universal basic income. Different narratives same shit. Or I just misunderstood something you said. I'm not agin it.
