Born too early to explore the stars
I think you misspelled "Born too early to slave your life away in an extractive space colony shithole owned by a space fief, thank fuck".

Space was always a place of wonder, curiosity, beauty, and new beginnings. Though I suppose it was fruitless to hope humanity would leave their crap on Earth.
Space late stage capitalism and war, anyone? Hopefully not...
Of course it is.
As my zen teacher once said “You can leave your car here when you go, but you can’t leave your karma”.
This was when we were having lunch together and I was telling him about my plans to move to another city. Without my saying it, he picked up on what my secret hope was: that all the problems plaguing me here wouldn’t follow me.
Yes, it is very naive to think going elsewhere will change our nature.
Love the recursion.:-)
I'm 30 years old and still don't have my own apartment. Being rendered homeless in your teenage years fucking sucks, and things onæy seem to get progressively more inaccessible.
There’s still hope! I’m 41 and have been in my own first apartment now for 9 months!
You may still get a chance to explore the stars one day, it'll just be in VR.
Born just in time to doomer post on Lemmy
Wish there was more time and willingness to break this down and embark on individual solutions.
I was going to break this down and start to detail solutions, but I’m late for work. Maybe later…
Sorry, no time. Gotta watch all the youtubes and read all the books and listen to all the podcasts and... fuck I'm hungry ah
If home ownership is too expensive in 2024, what makes anyone think that space exploration would be cheap in 2100?
Hopefully sometimes in the next 75 years, we can reverse this trend of trying to centrally control the economy.
...with pirated photoshop, because you can't afford it
Having said that, the only graphics program where I'm reasonably proficient is pbrush.exe. No, not mspaint. Its predecessor.
GIMP
Draw a square in √99/π easy steps.
Gimp is so good. I don't even remember how to use photoshop anymore.
It's like learning ancient Greek so you forget how to speak English now.
Ha I feel this

wait
Thats what they want you to think 😹
No, odds are your parents didn't buy a house in their 20s. Certainly it wasn't common. And once they did, it was likely a small house. And it's starting to piss me off that young adults think it was common.
- We (GenX) were 30 in a MCOL area, but with very good paying careers.
- My (boomer) parents were 35 when they finally got to buy a house in a LCOL area - and it was a real fixer upper that hadn't been lived in for 2 years.
- Their (Silent/Greatest) parents didn't buy a house until they were in their mid-30s in a M/HCOL area. On my mom's side it was a 800ish sqft duplex with 1 bathroom where they raised 3 kids. Father's side hadbit more room (maybe 1300ish) but still 1 bathroom and 3 kids.
And up to the point where we did buy a house, I always lived with roommates. There was only a couple month period where I ever lived by myself in an apartment, and it was a stretch, and I was glad (financially anyway) when I got a roommate again.
Neither of my parents ever lived alone l. They lived at home until they got married and rented together. Same for all my grandparents.
