Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It gets so tiring having to explain to older people that in their words "assets increasing in value" is a BAD thing.
Um, stupid commie, have you actually even considered that number go up? Checkmate.
My parents are planning to retire soon, and part of their retirement plan is selling their house to downsize into a space that's better suited for their old age. Unfortunately none of their kids can afford to buy the house for market price, but they won't be able to retire if they wanted to sell it at a discount to any of us. We've had a lot of difficult conversations lately where I encourage them to stick to their retirement plans while explaining to them that us kids likely won't ever be able to afford our own places, ever
Between you and me, I'm just half-considering what it would be like to leave the US entirely. I know many other countries have a slew of problems, but its obvious that the US is an ancap shithole. The wealthy are the only "real" people, and we're just cattle that they always foot the bill to for everything all the damn time, and we're told that we're 'entitled' for not liking it.
