Housing sucks rn!

[Silverbane]

Why do you keep clinging to that point? I literally said nothing about entitlement.

You tried the lottery three times, lost three times, and announced that you were quitting because "the system is broken." But if you'd won, would you be here complaining about the system?

That's why I think you feel entitled to a house: because you act like you do.

I've bid on houses four times and lost every time.
I'm fine with that, and will no doubt bid again when the right opportunity presents itself.

I'd love to see what happened if some of the people complaining about a lottery for a cosmetic item in a game wound up looking for a real house in a hot market. The real world of real estate if far crueler than this game could ever be, especially in the last two years. We helped some friends with young kids get themselves a house back in fall of 2020, and thank goodness we did! Even with the substantial assistance we gave them, they could never afford the house they have now in today's market.

So excuse me if I have no sympathy for people who melt down over their inability to get a giant glamour item in a freaking game.

I'm not asking you to have sympathy. I'm using the forums to express my discontent with a system I have access to try. I don't even know why you bring up the IRL housing market as if that matters to my point. They are two entirely different things LMAO. "Melt down"? Sorry you came into my forum post and felt the need to comment. You literally are not obligated to argue with me about how I feel about housing and what I do with it.

Also, if you'd read up further in the thread, I'd already mentioned to someone who gave me polite feedback without belittling me and equating my using the forum as intended to having a meltdown, you could have seen where I said if my numbers truly matter to show how many people want housing, I'd reconsider. I'm an adult who can weigh my own choices, just as you should when commenting on other threads and projecting your negativity onto other you disagree with.

Oh, am I belittling you like you did people who disagree with you? E.g.:

It is kinda funny to see the people flocking to this thread to essentially just belittle people who've been butting their head against not just one system for a year+ and defend it like this.

The system is fine. You, with your try-three-times-then-quit-and-complain attitude, are the problem.

I'm an adult

As has long been noted: on the Internet, no one can tell you're not a dog.

projecting your negativity

Oh, so saying the housing system is fine as it is (other than needing demolition resumed) is "projecting negativity" now? I'm happy, you're upset, and yet I'm the one who is negative?

Oh, and tell us, oh little prince: why can't you be happy with an apartment?
Are you entitled to bigger?

Would appreciate you not calling me names, first off. "Oh, and tell us, oh little prince: why can't you be happy with an apartment? Are you entitled to bigger?" I don't see how finding something funny is belitting others by any means, nor am I particularly mad rn. You came onto my forum post and chose to be rude, just like you're doing right now.

"As has long been noted: on the Internet, no one can tell you're not a dog." This literally means nothing. You're just being facetious.

I'm gonna continue speaking my mind about housing whether you think it "works fine" or not. Have a nice day!

[Silverbane]

You came onto my forum post ...

"Onto my forum post" isn't a sensible English phrase.
But to the extent any meaning can be derived from it ... what, do you think you OWN this thread, because you started it?

"As has long been noted: on the Internet, no one can tell you're not a dog." This literally means nothing.

Ah, too deep for you, was it? It's simple: you can claim to be "an adult," as you have, or a dog, or whatever, and on the Internet, no one can tell whether you're really just a NEET living in their parent's basement.

I'm gonna continue speaking my mind about housing whether you think it "works fine" or not.

Did I ever tell you not to? Go ahead, spew forth your negativity with reckless abandon.
