Just brick them up so you don’t need to pay window tax
17th century England called and wants their tax system back
City, town, country, doesn’t matter because I can’t afford it!
On the real real, I work full time and make more than I ever have in my life. The apartments I live in are falling apart and the owners don’t care anymore, it used to be a nice place. My mom’s helping me look at new places because she wants me out as much as I do. There isn’t anything I can afford. My parents are going to have to help me with rent if I want to get into anything that isn’t another shithole. I’m 33, college educated, live in one of the cheapest states in the cheapest city, I work from home, I work for fuckin Apple for christ sake, I’ve done everything right and yet I still can’t afford to live.
Let me guess. American south?

I feel super fortunate to have bought on 2018. I definitely couldn’t afford my house today.
There’s two posts at the top of Lemmy that “be” using bad grammar to try to be cool. Bees are for pollenating
The worst kind of grammar nazis are those that are not even correct. lmao
What’s not correct? Are you upset that I made a bee joke? Yeah everyone makes mistakes here and there… If someone used ‘be’ but did it while unaware of grammar I’m totally fine with that and would never say anything. I’m not that rude. But people are just talking this way for effect and to show that they are ‘in the know’ about something and I think it’s weird.
‘Be like’ is a new phrase coined sometime in the last two decades, I think. Anyway, it’s widespread, understandable and you’re not going to stop anyone using it. Language evolves! Waddya know.
I appreciate the intelligent response but in my opinion this isn’t an evolution of the English language. I think it’s a phrase from Ebonics which is an English dialect.
Gineva Smitherman, Director of the African American Language and Literacy Program at Michigan State University, implies that “be like” is Ebonics in the title of this essay https://rethinkingschools.org/articles/black-english-ebonics-what-it-be-like/
It seemed strange to me that people are using this phrase so much. Sorry to interrupt the shitposts
Does it matter? Saying “be like” feels fun, it rolls of the tongue well. If you understand me, communication was successful, end of story.
Yeah for sure
Language evolves, even if we don’t like it.
Yeah it does but “I be walking” hasn’t been adopted into the English language and I have like 30 shitposters pretending that it has.
Bees can do whatever the fuck they want, they are not merely there for our desire to get plants pollinated. They just like to do it.
No worse grammar than confusing ‘be’ and ‘bee’
No worse grammar? Ok
