Life is hard right now, and struggling to get by while doing the best you can has never been trashy. Having a roommate and a 3 year old is far, far from trashy.

However giving your three year old unfettered access to the internet/YouTube is definitely trashy.

TBF, the struggle itself isn't trashy, but the situation itself is. One becomes part of said trash when/if one chooses to give into it. Treating a toddler like that makes you trash.

I'm sorry I'm having a really hard time getting what you're saying? What "situation" is trashy, having a roommate and a kid...? Why?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

The ongoing and escalating situation that is forcing working class people to rent together as independent co-tenants, among other oppressive maneuvers by the ruling class.

Having a roommate is not trashy in itself, being forced to do so is. There are two types of trash in that example. The shitty parent and the subhuman elites complicit in the circumstances that led the former to become that person.

I mean, if that's how you wanna use the term nobody's stopping you, but I think you're gonna be the only one thinking about the oppressive ruling class when people hear you "trashy" to describe people in tight situations.

Btw, who said anybody in the OP was forced into the situation?

Bruh, you are the one who sounds like a subhuman when you call people struggling - trashy.

Take a look in a mirror for your own good. We are all in this together.
