[Salt thread] Owning a House Offically became Dead content for me

No, I just don't waste it on snowflakes, forum trolls, or the like.

You don't waste it on forum trolls? Come on, everyone should be empathic to themselves at least! :^)

You don't know what "empathic" means, do you?
Go look it up, then stop spouting nonsense -- if you can.

(I really miss the emphasis on actual education that schools had in the wake of Sputnik.)

Empathetic - showing an ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

While I understand that your houses make you happy and am happy for you, you need to learn to read the room and not rub your own success in the faces of those who haven't been as lucky as you. Be humble.

It wasn't just luck. There's a reason I have leveled 12 alts to 2nd Lt. and L50 or better.

And frankly, I don't consider having an FFXIV house anything to brag about, no more than having a pair of Keen Uneek sandals would be.
I own Keen Uneek sandles, and as with owning a FFXIV house I get joy from doing so, but I don't think saying so is bragging. In fact, relating the joy I get from these silly shoes might lead to other people enjoying them too, so why not share the joy?

Anyone who is "bragging" about an FFXIV house must have very few real accomplishments, I think.
That's not the case for me, but listing my real-life accomplishments?
Yeah, that would be bragging.

And finally, humility is just another kind of lie. I have little use for lies.

Gotta say, those shoes are ugly as sin.

Keen sandals are the lulzy version of Chacos/Pipers/Olukai. Keen sandals are good for just about going on groomed trail walks, wouldn't backpack in them. Definitely wouldn't wear it as a fashion statement in any sense of the word. You'd be better off with NB shoes or trail runners for that/backpacking/rough trails.

But sinfully comfortable and easy to slip on and off. My spouse and I both love them.
And as Padudu says, not for rough country, but at least it's easy to shake small rocks that slip into them out.

And while taste in RL fashion varies, just as tastes in FFXIV glams do, people often remark positively on them.

Honey if you expected me to read all that...my eyes glazed over and rolled so far in their sockets after I read you leveled 12 alts just to get housing in a video game. You must have very few achievements yourself if you have the time to do that. People who actually achieve success don't feel the need to bring it up in casual conversation or flex on random people to feed some unfulfilled need for attention. They already have it. Should probably work on that if you're actually telling the truth.

You are just doing some basic trolling and you said you have no empathy for trolls. If anything, your logic is nonsense. lol
