Ehh. I hear you, and definitely.

But another reason to use to term unhoused is to point to the solution, we need more affordable houses. I work in government and I don’t mind the shift, helps frame the problem a bit better and makes it more of a society problem (something we as a government could do something about) vs an individual problem. Build houses. We can do that as government/society. We could provide housing to vulnerable populations in ways that work for them.

For those like me who wondered “why”… $1000 a pop.

The agents searched her heavy duffle bag and found 29 live eastern box turtles individually wrapped in socks, the affidavit states. Eastern box turtles are known to be sold on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each, the affidavit stated.

It sounds like the combination of the Persian folklore and the rise of animation having to depict internal struggles is what miniaturized them and put them on shoulders. Is that right?

My Chemical BroVance

 

I have a wonderful senior dog and he’s my best friend. And I’m so scared of his aging. As he’s slowing down and I keep an eye out for medical issues I just can’t imagine how and when to make a call about his life.

I work all day away from home and live by myself, which was not the situation when I’d adopted him initially. I don’t have a community or friends or family around to help during the day if and when it comes to that. I can’t afford dog sitters especially not ones with training.

What if he could be fine with more support and money, should I give him back to animal rescue?

 
 

But according to NYT it’s not a word.

 
 
 

“Basement dwellers” implies parents with multi level houses. I feel like the kid living with their parents for a long time will become more of a thing but they’ll be lucky to have the privacy and space of a whole basement.

And so I say, basement dwellers? In this economy?

I enjoyed the exchange of ideas here and the way things were described and debated. Made me happy to be on Lemmy.

 

Saw this comment from someone in Germany, 3000-4000 euros and very intensive process. https://feddit.de/comment/7204601

 

On these types of forums it’s easy to jump into an argument about the technicalities or a post or comment.

You should know, though, that there is a theory called Ways of Knowing which defines Separate Knowing and Connected Knowing. It’s been a part of my masters program I’m taking.

Separate knowing disconnects the humanity and context from what’s being said and tries to only argue the “facts”. But facts, and the things people say, don’t just occur in a vacuum. It often is the case when people are arguing past each other, like on the internet.

Connected Knowing is approaching the thing someone said with the understanding that there is a context, humanity, biases, different experiences, and human error that can all jumble up when people are sharing information.

Maybe even just knowing that there’s different ways to know would be helpful for us to engage in a different level of conversation here. I’m not sure. I just wanted to share!
