Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 14, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

If you could maintain your current standard of living with any job, but you had to have a job, what would you choose to do for work?

There are plenty of minimal "jobs" that pay at or below minimum wage and would mostly leave me free to pursue my hobbies, but that feels like cheating. If I have to have a real job that takes up 35+ hours a week of my time, it's hard to think of something I'd like doing more than the job I'm already doing (suing the government). Ideally I'd like to do only the fun parts like formulating legal strategies, arguing in court, and mentoring the younger lawyers, without the drudgery of stuff like timekeeping or client development, but the former can't exist without the latter.

Can I say my current job but with better hours?
