Sure, how many people do you think you'd walk up to who are renting who would say that that's their situation?

Why are you talking about the exception not explicitly the problem that this is supposed to be trying to address?

The issues are people who want to purchase cannot while people have more than one.

Are you saying we prioritize those renters over homeowners? Is that better for the economy of the country to have people who are renting as opposed to people who own?

Edit: also how does this work if a country cares about their citizens and absolutely any of their citizens are homeless while someone has extra and empty housing?

The only people in real life i have met who have ever complained about small talk were in the context of "i do not care enough about [the people around me] to pay attention to anything [they] say not directly relevant to me/my hyperfocus" and i just realize they're the "everyone else is an npc" crowd and let them be sulky all the time and hate every social thing they have to do, and I'll have a fine time chatting with the cashier about her day! These are always the same people who say everyone else is boring, not that they have given anyone the time of day.

Tbh if they see others like that im happy to not give them my time and show interest in them either. All social is give and take on every level and those people are always takers. We're where we are now because of people who can't bother to care about the lives of others.

I would think you'd understand needing to stop and fight for justice is a little more youthful than moving on, not putting a stake in something that's really objectively a waste of your time and energy vs organizing your own space that accomplishes what you want?

Or is it easier to white knight and try and demand other spaces cater to you specifically?

Explicitly you were upset you were properly moderated, then grew indignant. The internet doesn't exist to make you comfortable, especially in your errors. Now, at this point, you're just kind of the stereotype "takes online so seriously they're the other side of the troll horseshoe" because i don't think you would grandstand so hard in a public space about being told you made a mistake.

Of course, maybe you would and have lived a privileged life where everyone always bent to you, and that's another situation entirely. Being uncomfortable for the first time can be upsetting, and tbe internet does allow you to rant in ways i don't think you would in a real dynamic with people you saw as real and equals in their own space that you entered voluntarily.

Do you typical get defensive when you make mistakes and people correct you or do you find this particularly hard not to feel like your ego was attacked?

The people here do like to be snarky, but welcome to the internet? Especially when someone makes themselves an amazing target by sulking or pouting. Kids always love to pick on the kid with no emotional regulation, and humans dont change much from childhood.

Lemmy is a little hard to understand at first and I am sure plenty of people get embarrassed, but do you ever find you catch a lot of flies with that vinegar or does it just make you feel better to act out?

The bimbofication of the chat bots has been weird to watch. I played with Replika back when it was an egg billed as "a chat bot you teach to chat how you want" more than a romantic parter.

Were they ever good conversationalists? No, but if you're someone who likes to externally talk things through they could be a fine echo of a generally positive generic person.

Now they feel so gross and desperate/pleading it feels weird to interact with them.
