Home ownership

Not just a girls best friend.

I'm a guy and I'd kill for a functional housing market lol

Just had my first experience losing an offer to house flippers who waived inspections, yayyyyy!

Wanting to be a home owner is just the first step in the gender transition process for a person born as a male

somewhere between soc dem and communist

i have a list of issues that i want fixed, and whether that happens by achieving communist utopia or just properly regulated capitalism isnt that important to me

Hilariously posted in the wrong thread I believe. 😄

i have no clue how this happened

It's a bug. You can start a reply in a given thread, the URL stays the same but the page content changes to something unrelated. So when you post the comment it goes to the wrong thread.

For me I tend to see the wrong post sometimes when I go to an old Lemmy tab after being on different Lemmy tabs. If I hit refresh then I'll get my original post back, but then half the time I go and find the mysterious post because I want to read it now I got a taste.

My 2yo has a shirt that says "dinos are a girls best friend". I have to say, I could get behind that. Other top contenders: clothing with decent size pockets, dogs, and snacks.

Functional pockets, probably.

I think you nailed it! I'm not a girl, so I didn't realize the lack of functional pockets until my daughters started complaining about it. Now I find myself looking for pockets in women's clothing. They are very hard to find.

GIven the original context (increased financial security): a job.

I'm not very in tune with the girl market :nerd: but I would probably say her phone. Buy her a Galaxy Z Flip 4 and she will love you for life (not guaranteed)

As someone whose girlfriend is in love with her Flip 4, yeah I'd call that an accurate statement.

I didn't buy it for her though, she just kinda did it.
