    Iā€™m seething?

    Yes.

    Lol just when I think you canā€™t get any dumber you say the gap between cost of living and wage doesnā€™t matter when buying a house

    Where did I say that lmao? I said they are different things. You can have affordable houses and rising living costs. I mean, my expectations of your intelligence are low but jesus, thatā€™s bad.

    So when you want to know if someone actually knows something, you ask them about it.

    Why should you when Iā€™m literally right now schooling on you? Literally just told you that houses and living costs are two different things.

    Like a baby, every night.

    I do not doubt that one bit. Not one bit.

    Lol, and thereā€™s the narcissistic personality

    Honestly, itā€™s just realistic. Itā€™s been purely me whoā€™s been bringing in facts, analysis and statistics to this, when you just spout about star wars men and living costs=house costs. Actually lmao

      Yes.

      This just really speaks to your ego again. You have to think you know everything, how housing works in a country you donā€™t even live in or understand. All the way to thinking you know how a stranger online youā€™ve never met feels. What a lonely life manā€¦

      Where did I say that lmao? I said they are different things. You can have affordable houses and rising living costs. I mean, my expectations of your intelligence are low but jesus, thatā€™s bad.

      Youā€™re just right there. If one brain cell could just band into another you might get it. Lemme try to break through that ego and actually try to teach you something. Housing is part of cost of living. If cost of living goes up, that means housing costs are going up. If housing costs go up, that means they are not affordable, they are going up. Also what is ā€œaffordableā€ changes, since people have less money due to increase cost across the board. So you saying something ignorant like cost of living and affordable housing are like apples and organs just makes you look like the child you are, trying to have big boy convos youā€™re not equipped to have. Clearly.

      Why should you when Iā€™m literally right now schooling on you? Literally just told you that houses and living costs are two different things.

      I mean youā€™re trying to educate me, but itā€™s not working well when you donā€™t know anything about the topic youā€™re trying to educate people on. Again, youā€™re trying to dodge the question because it would make you have to admit you donā€™t know something and are wrong. Easier just to beat your chest and say you know things without ever showing you know a damn thing. If anything youā€™ve shown over and over how out of your depth you are.

      I do not doubt that one bit. Not one bit.

      Yah man, try it. When you donā€™t go around telling BS lies and trying back them without bruising your ego itā€™s easy.

      Honestly, itā€™s just realistic. Itā€™s been purely me whoā€™s been bringing in facts, analysis and statistics to this, when you just spout about star wars men and living costs=house costs. Actually lmao

      You havenā€™t brought in one fact. You saying you have doesnā€™t make it so lol. You listed a house and I asked one question about it and you refuse to answer telling me to look myself. I have, I know, thatā€™s why Iā€™m asking the question. I also presented a very common case where people canā€™t afford a house, a thing you say everyone should be able to do. I asked you how those people would and you just ignored the question. Youā€™ve done nothing but throw some grade school insults and say youā€™ve show proof without showing any.

      when you just spout about star wars men and living costs=house costs.

      And this is why youā€™re an idiot lol. The cost of your house is part of cost of living. You are dead wrong here and you canā€™t accept it because of that massive ego. You canā€™t admit when youā€™re wrong, even if itā€™s just a google search away. You dont think housing costs have anything to do with cost of living? You want facts, how about this. ā€œThe cost of living is the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare in a certain place and time period.ā€

      https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cost-of-living.asp

      Oh shit, looks like youā€™re wrong. Iā€™m soooo suprised.

        This just really speaks to your ego again

        If my ego is reality, is it really ego?

        Youā€™re just right there.

        Thatā€™s not a source lmao. Tell me where I said it, you know, a link or something.

        I mean youā€™re trying to educate me, but itā€™s not working well

        Yeah, hard to reach these kids with tiktoks and all taking your attention

        Yah man, try it. When you donā€™t go around telling BS lies

        Are BS lies truths? Do double negatives work like that?

        You havenā€™t brought in one fact.

        I mean for sure if you havenā€™t read my comments, itā€™s easy to get that impression.

        ā€œThe cost of living is the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare in a certain place and time period.ā€

        Hell yeah dude, color me surprised actually. You did do your own research and now we agree that living costs doesnā€™t equal to house prices. Housing includes stuff like rent AND mortgage among many other things. Hence your comment on living costs=house prices WAS wrong! Just like I told you itā€™s wrong.

        See, the one time you did your research and actually looked into what youā€™re talking about, you start to agree with me. Isnā€™t it curious? Or, you know, how I told you to look into foreclosures and after that you havenā€™t bitched about them either?

        Someone more intelligent might come to a realization at this point, but I donā€™t have high hopes for you despite the flash of sunlight there at the end.

          No, but thinking your ego is reality is peak ego.

          Thatā€™s not a source lmao. Tell me where I said it, you know, a link or something.

          Linked at the end of my post showing how rising cost of living means rising cost of homes, which means they arenā€™t affordable.

          Yeah, hard to reach these kids with tiktoks and all taking your attention

          Lol tiktok, cute, is that the thing all you kids are hooked on now.

          Are BS lies truths? Do double negatives work like that?

          No they donā€™t. BS isnā€™t always a statement to the negative, sometimes itā€™s just an adjective.

          I mean for sure if you havenā€™t read my comments, itā€™s easy to get that impression.

          It is, it is. But then you read them and you donā€™t need to have the impression, you know. Just because you link something that doesnā€™t prove your point then dodge questions about it, that doesnā€™t make it a ā€œfactā€ lol.

          Hell yeah dude, color me surprised actually. You did do your own research and now we agree that living costs doesnā€™t equal to house prices.

          It says ā€œbasic expenses such as housingā€, expenses are quantified as prices. It is literally saying that cost of living is includes housing pricesā€¦ I never said your cost of living was ONLY housing prices. But housing price is the largest expense in most cases. I get living with your mom she pays for everything so you might not realize it, but it is.

          Housing includes stuff like rent AND mortgage among many other things. Hence your comment on living costs=house prices WAS wrong! Just like I told you itā€™s wrong.

          Jesus fuck dude. Cost of living includes the cost of being in a home. The biggest expense to being in a home is not your gas bill, itā€™s your rent/mortgage. At this point, youā€™re willingly burying your head in the sand. Remember what I said earlier about actually taking the time to learn instead of assuming youā€™re right? Maybe try that.

          See, the one time you did your research and actually looked into what youā€™re talking about, you start to agree with me.

          What? I donā€™t agree with you at all, and you just said I was wrong. Dude your ego is a legit problem, like legit talk to someone. You donā€™t do research assuming your right, youā€™re shown youā€™re wrong and canā€™t accept it, then when facts are shown proving you wrong you try to act like they back your point. Dude you are legit delusional.

          Or, you know, how I told you to look into foreclosures and after that you havenā€™t bitched about them either?

          I gave up because you refuse to speak on it outside ā€œdo your won researchā€. I did, they are viable. Instead of demanding proof nonstop how about you provide some to back your point? Tell me how an online-only, no inspection, as is foreclosure is a viable affordable home. Iā€™ve stopped asking because Iā€™ve accepted the fact that when youā€™re wrong you do nothing but name call and dodge questions. Itā€™s a clear pattern here, most likely driven by your massive ego.

          Someone more intelligent might come to a realization at this point, but I donā€™t have high hopes for you despite the flash of sunlight there at the end.

          I mean this is a nothing statement thatā€™s just fluffing yourself up. When you have no substance itā€™s all talk, like this. I get it, you think youā€™re very smart, no matter how many times your proven wrong of made to face the reality that you arenā€™t.

            No, but thinking your ego is reality is peak ego.

            Lets not forget Iā€™m the only one of us actually backing my claims up.

            rising cost of homes, which means they arenā€™t affordable.

            Thatā€™s not what it means. Rising cost of homes means rising cost of homes. Less affordable for sure, but not unaffordable. Like, third grade logic wouldā€™ve get you there mate.

            BS isnā€™t always a statement to the negative

            So ā€œBS liesā€ means what exactly in this context?

            I never said your cost of living was ONLY housing prices.

            Reality is your biggest opponent

            Cost of living includes the cost of being in a home.

            Like I said, itā€™s great you learned something! Keep it up lil guy and youā€™ll get the point

            You donā€™t do research assuming your right, youā€™re shown youā€™re wrong

            Iā€™m still waiting for the showing btw

            I gave up

            I know, I know

              Lets not forget Iā€™m the only one of us actually backing my claims up.

              Saying something over and over doesnā€™t make it true. Iā€™ve asked you to back up your claims multiple times and have gotten nothing lol. Iā€™ve asked simple questions and youā€™ve dodged them. Because we both know Iā€™m right but your ego wonā€™t let you accept it. Keep saying it, you might convince yourself. With an ego that massive itā€™s not hard.

              Thatā€™s not what it means. Rising cost of homes means rising cost of homes. Less affordable for sure, but not unaffordable. Like, third grade logic wouldā€™ve get you there mate.

              Jesus, itā€™s exactly what it means. The rising cost of homes means the homes cost more. Things that cost more are less affordable. So more expensive homes are less affordable. Then you look at wages vs cost of living.

              Cost of living = How much does it cost to live, how affordable is it to live in a given area. Cost of living changes based on the area. Guess what determines if that cost of living is affordable, what is the biggest factor? Homes. So youā€™re saying cost of living can be really high, but the major factor that decides if you can afford that cost of living can be cheap. Dude you have clearly never had to manage your own finances or move areas with different costs of living. Itā€™s pathetic to see you flounder like this.

              When you grow up youā€™ll learn what all these things mean.

              But Iā€™m glad third-grade logic ā€œwouldā€™ve get you thereā€. Seems like your literacy is 3rd grade there bud.

              So ā€œBS liesā€ means what exactly in this context?

              Lol itā€™s your hypothetical you made up. But according to you BS lies, which is not how itā€™s used. But I mean, you donā€™t really care do you?

              Reality is your biggest opponent

              I think you mean greatest ally there buddy? I love how you didnā€™t quote anything, almost like I never said that so you have nothing explicit to point to. This is your version of ā€œbacking up your claimsā€ vague statements. Lol I might as well say something and link google as my ā€œbackupā€ because that seems to meet your standard.

              Like I said, itā€™s great you learned something! Keep it up lil guy and youā€™ll get the point

              Lol I love the ego. You act like cost of living, which is the measure of how affordable things are, has nothing to do with how affordable a house is, which is part of the cost of living. You need to look up a few terms and learn what your talking about before you puff your chest up anymore.

              Iā€™m still waiting for the showing btw

              Iā€™ve provided tons of proof backing up my claims. I canā€™t make you read or understand them, sorry.

              I know, I know

              Yes, because a smart person doesnā€™t play pigeon chess.

                Saying something over and over doesnā€™t make it true.

                Fact that it is true makes it true though.

                Things that cost more are less affordable.

                Ahahahahah dude. less affordable doesnā€™t mean unaffordable. Like, I literally wrote it there, ā€œThings that cost more are less affordable.ā€, the clue was there right in front of you.

                But according to you BS lies, which is not how itā€™s used.

                I sent this sentence down at the lab for the boys to take a look at. Iā€™m going to get back to you when I figure out what the hell this even means. Just to be clear, ā€œBSā€ here means bullshit, right?

                Lol I might as well say something and link google as my ā€œbackupā€

                Honestly, anything goes at this point. Youā€™ve lowered the bar that much.

                You act like cost of living, which is the measure of how affordable things are, has nothing to do with how affordable a house is, which is part of the cost of living.

                Still missing the point. Still missing it. Still thinks cost of living is equal to house prices. Renters arenā€™t affected by cost of living in your reality it seems.

                Iā€™ve provided tons of proof backing up my claims

                Sure kid, they mustā€™ve gotten defederated out since I havenā€™t come across one.

                Yes, because a smart person doesnā€™t play pigeon chess.

                A smart person wouldnā€™t say the cost of living equals to house prices yet here we are.

                Honestly Iā€™m a bit scared to fuck you any more since it might be classified under pedophilia.

                  Fact that it is true makes it true though.

                  Youā€™re right. Something is right or itā€™s not. And again, you saying it over and over doesnā€™t make it true. You gotta use this thing call proof. The thing you keep saying youā€™ve showed without ever showing. The thing you could just show me and destroy my stance. The thing you donā€™t have so will never show.

                  Ahahahahah dude. less affordable doesnā€™t mean unaffordable. Like, I literally wrote it there, ā€œThings that cost more are less affordable.ā€, the clue was there right in front of you.

                  Itā€™s so sad, honestly, to see you say something like this. So confident to the point of arrogance while being so ignorant. If something is less affordable, that is how it becomes unaffordable. Itā€™s affordable, becomes less so, and is now no longer affordable, thatā€™s how inflation works bud.

                  I sent this sentence down at the lab for the boys to take a look at. Iā€™m going to get back to you when I figure out what the hell this even means. Just to be clear, ā€œBSā€ here means bullshit, right?

                  Yep, and you and your buddies can work on it. 3rd grade reading level and all, Iā€™ll give you all the time you need.

                  Honestly, anything goes at this point. Youā€™ve lowered the bar that much.

                  Lol, yes. Me calling out the absurdity of your ā€œproofā€ is me lowering the bar. Please, you have no proof and we both know it, youā€™re just puffing your chest at this point.

                  Still missing the point. Still missing it. Still thinks cost of living is equal to house prices. Renters arenā€™t affected by cost of living in your reality it seems.

                  Jesus, we started this off by talking about homes and not renting, that was the context. I never said cost of living equals housing cost. I never said they were the same, if I did quote me, show me exactly where I said that. Because I didnā€™t and this is the only weak stance you have, even though Iā€™ve explained it 10 times, you just canā€™t seem to grasp it. Housing cost, the cost to be in a home, regardless of what it is, is the biggest contributor to cost of living. Not the only one, but the largest one in nearly all cases. Iā€™ve said this multiple times, maybe this time itā€™ll stick.

                  Sure kid, they mustā€™ve gotten defederated out since I havenā€™t come across one.

                  Yah, selective reading will do that. Iā€™ll say this, Iā€™ve provided much more proof than you have lol. What have you sent, a listing for a foreclosed online only sale house as an example of affordable housing lol. If anything the only proof youā€™ve shown helps my stance not yours. So thanks for that.

                  A smart person wouldnā€™t say the cost of living equals to house prices yet here we are.

                  Well looking through our chat history youā€™ve said that a bunch and I havenā€™t said it once. So I gotta agree with you on that one. Hell even in a world where I did say it, Iā€™ve explained probably 6 times now how itā€™s not the same, itā€™s just the largest part. So even in your delusional world where I said that, Iā€™ve explained in detail how I view it. So even in that world youā€™re hanging on to one thing I said and ignoring all the explanation Iā€™ve laid out in front of you. Because you know youā€™re wrong lol, but your ego just wonā€™t let you move on.

                  A smart person would look at their comments in this thread, see that an overwhelming number of people disagree with you, and maybe have a little self reflection. Maybe just entertain the possibility that you might be wrong. But youā€™re not a smart person are you? Youā€™re just a person with more ego than sense that canā€™t accept being wrong.

                  Honestly Iā€™m a bit scared to fuck you any more since it might be classified under pedophilia.

                  Is this really the best you got? A weak stretch of a pedo joke. Come on man, do better.

                    Youā€™re right. Something is right or itā€™s not.

                    Yep. And like I said, like reality has shown, and as the undeniable sources Iā€™ve got have pointed out, I am right.

                    If something is less affordable, that is how it becomes unaffordable.

                    Not quite. Less affordable = less affordable, unaffordable = unaffordable. I understand these are extremely complex issues for you to handle but seriously, try.

                    Yep, and you and your buddies can work on it.

                    Still havenā€™t figured out what it meant. 3rd grade writing is honestly a tad bit too generous.

                    Jesus, we started this off by talking about homes and not renting, that was the context.

                    Uhh, we canā€™t redefine words by context. Use the word like itā€™s meant.

                    Iā€™ve provided much more proof than you have lol.

                    You can keep lying to me but not yourself. We both have read the thread.

                    Well looking through our chat history youā€™ve said that a bunch and I havenā€™t said it once.

                    I literally linked it to you the other reply. Not surprising at all that you donā€™t read my replies, otherwise you would have apologized already.

                    overwhelming number of people disagree with you

                    Downvotes just mean people donā€™t want to face reality. Plenty of folk I talked to in this thread later turned out to agree with me.

                    People hate to be told they have responsibility.
