You seem to think I have some sort of emotional investment in this and I can assure you that I do not. I'm saying that today's reality is not tomorrow's reality and that things can get better, which is a fact and not really up for debate.

As to whether or not they will get better that very much is up to debate, but if you think that being condescending is proving your point then maybe you should take some time and think a little longer.

My point is proved.

Like I said, some people love nothing more than to reframe whatever you are saying or whatever you are doing in the worst possible light for no reason other than to make you feel bad.

From what I understand they are still affordable, the cost savings is building it yourself and having the discipline and patience to be able to do something like that on your wages.

Building a tiny home is a grueling and arduous task. There is nothing TurnKey about it.

My cousin built one because his mom lent him some land to build it on and so far it has cost him about $10,000.

That's pretty good but he lives on a truck driver's salary and he has a wife and a kid. He's deeply in debt from his tiny house project and he's almost done with it.

Once he finishes he'll be able to claw his way back up out of debt, which is good, but there are no TurnKey solutions that are also affordable.

I get where you're coming from but in my ideal world we would all work gig jobs and they would provide us enough money to live at the very least at our current lifestyle.

The 40-hour work week is a lie. It's not needed anymore, and anyone who sits down for 4 hours and analyzes our current economic system would probably agree with me.

You have gotten up onto a high horse about how I am flawed and wrong before checking whether I was on your side.

Besides, the point you are making, while it has its merits, only touches on my point. My point is enjoy what you like. If you like overnight oats just go ahead and eat them.

It doesn't mean you're a "peasant eating gruel". It's okay to like what you like.

I feel like the divide is between people who attempt to find things out for themselves and the people who rely on external sources to foist information upon them.

Some people get a kick out of making you feel bad about anything and everything you enjoy by reframing it in the worst possible light.

Oh, you bicycle to work? Enjoy breathing in all that carbon monoxide from the cars passing you and a greatly increased risk of dying due to a driver not thinking that you're a human being. Hope you don't cross a street and inconvenience a driver you selfish prick!

Oh, you eat primarily vegetarian with only a little bit of meat? One, meat is still murder, you're a prick. Two, of course you would mention it. Three, fuck you and your entire family and your entire gene pool you piece of shit.

I could probably keep going but you get it right? Don't let the things that you enjoy be taken away from you by people who are chasing clout and will say anything that they possibly can in order to get it.

Kind of makes me wonder what hulk Hogan was doing at that time to make Andre so upset with him.

Give big Dio vibes, "Oh, you're approaching me?”

Yep. I have been working on that for my next vacation, get an MRI and some actual diagnoses to bring to my PCP so that they'll actually do something.

I would gladly go to a doctor and have my issues dealt with if I could.

I have good insurance.

I have money, although not a lot, but enough to go to the goddamn hospital.

Every time I go to the hospital with a complaint, they basically told me it's all in my head and send me on my way without running any diagnostic tests, analyzing the specific issues that I'm talking about, or finding out any more information than whether or not I have insurance.

Then when it's all said and done, I get a bill for $1,000.

This has happened to me the last three times I went to the doctor.

I have nodules in my throat. I have giant lumps under my skin, my urine smells like maple syrup even though my blood sugar is Rock fucking solid. I have issues with losing weight that aren't directly related to my diet.

I have depression, I have skin issues with fucking eczema that do not respond to any over-the-counter treatment. I have a deviated septum. My xiphoid process is literally broken and free-floating in my chest. My coccyx is the size of a fucking grape.

I have an entire litany of issues and I have told multiple doctors about this in person and asked for help and assistance, and not once has a single doctor ever offered to do so much as draw my fucking blood for a test.

If I do not DIY my own medicine I cannot receive treatment for any of my issues. No matter how many times I have asked for help, my pleas for help have always been ignored and I've been charged $1,000 for them on top of insurance three different times.

If you know how to fix this where I can get qualified competent medical assistance with my issues before they snowball together and murder me, please tell me how because I cannot solve this.

There are two kinds of people, one, people who cannot extrapolate from incomplete information, and two, people who literally cannot win a single badge in Pokemon no matter how hard they fucking try because you fucking suck at the game, Jennifer.

 

We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?
