you know...we don't have a lot of choices, i'm EST 1987 and sort of missed the boat for whatever reason but argument still stands on why we can't buy houses...

to be honest, we need to rotate somewhere, away from the metropolitan cities and create a place that is livable and affordable and one day allow it to become a metropolitan city where we can profit off of owning a home

Isn’t “profiting off of owning a home” one of the main reasons why housing is a problem right now?

There are multiple housing problems and they're all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority "housing problem" right now imo is that there are people who don't have a safe place to sleep at night.

In order to solve that problem you need

Safe housing to provide to those people
A system for assigning those people to the housing.

Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn't doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to

Hold them accountable through voting
Take matters into our own hands as a community and attempt to contribute to a local solution in whatever capacity we're able to contribute (donations, volunteering, organizing). Once we have legitimate trustworthy organizations that are doing a good job solving the problem then we can hopefully proceed by driving more support for them.

Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more "difficult" part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don't know who we should serve next.

This feels like the start of some marketing pitch for one of those libertarian crypto tech-bros pod city things out in the middle of the ocean. I think I'll pass

It's "revelation," singular. Like trivial pursuit.

Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.

The most acid trippy book that survived to the current version! Bunch of books were removed over the ages when they thought it was too crazy.

You should check out book of Enoch for extra trippy. It's largely about fallen angels and many batshit crazy games and novels spawn based off of it, like Xenogears (which is awesome but also considered the most convoluted story JRPG ever).

Apokalypsis is the Greek word for "Revelation", and some people use the English translation of Apocalypse instead of Book of the Apocalypse

Wait until it starts feeling like revelation deja vu.

Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have swerved from the truth, saying resurrection has already occurred. They are upsetting the faith of some.

There is still lots of opportunity for those willing to seize it. Get off the internet and engage with the real world.

Yeah, bad take. I'm doing well myself, but I had to go into well over 6 digits of debt and about 10 years just to get here. For most people that's just impossible. You are the one who need the reality check here. Just because we got lucky doesn't mean we can give up fighting for a better life for others.

They're not asking for Maseratis. They're asking to make enough to not worry about eating. I'd say that should be a thing even for unskilled labor.

It's also a question of how where this meme was made. I'm married in my mid-late 20's and my wife is mid 20's, we've got a child and will hopefully hear that the sellers of a house accepted our bid.

I didn't grow up rich, she grow up in a middle class household with parents who saved an decent (as in literally decent, not decent as in a small business loan of a million dollars) sum which we will use against the down payment. We're not rich or making astronomical sums either.

Is lemmy US-centric/big cities-centric?
