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?

[–] AltheaHunter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 months ago

but when I profit it'll be good /s

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

  1. Safe housing to provide to those people
  2. 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

  1. Hold them accountable through voting
  2. 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.

Communal housing world solve many problems.

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.

[–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

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).

oh THAT revelations ok thanks i thought this was some ORVP type thing thanks for the clarification

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.earth 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.
