My parents in their 30s This would make a lovely second home for our family to winter in. Hopefully the garage can fit both our cars, snowmobile and ski equipment.

Me in my 30s I’ll never financially recover from this purchase.

    There are several reasons why I don’t talk to my parents. But one of them is that they refuse to understand our situation right now. I make twice the money my parents made at my age, yet I am unable to buy a house while them, at my age had already finished paying for a custom built house.

    They paid 60k € for that house. Today, you won’t buy it with 500k.

    Keep in mind, this is not the fault of the parents’ generation. It’s the fault of the rich who take more and more profit out of the working people.

      It’s the fault of the parents’ generation for electing Reagan and letting them do it.

        Just throwing it out there that only a tiny fraction of GenXers were old enough vote in the 1980 or even the 1984 elections. I am in my 30s and only one of my parents was old enough (and definitely did not vote for Reagan, I have seen their Mondale button), the other first voted for President in 1988.

        If you went back before 2016 when politics were less culty and asked boomer what they thought about Preidents. They all would have said Reagan was the best. He is Neo-Lib Jesus, bringing the teachings of trickle down economics to the world. They had decades to move away from Neo-Liberalism.

        It’s always nice to just go out to see the happiness of people buying their grocery item of the week. It’s so kind of them to just let others watch them for some vicarious bread.

    Don’t blame older people, blame capitalism. Americans have voted increasingly rightward, and are more supportive of enriching the billionaires in the mistaken belief that they’ll create jobs and pay us more.

              Oh no, no. That’s not what’s happening.

              Those moderators are banning people who complain about Reddit reposts.

              Why? Because some of those complaints are part of a deliberate harassment tactic. These people repeatedly target frequent posters and pester moderators, hoping to frustrate the mods enough that they eventually ban the very people keeping their communities active.

              It’s a coordinated effort to undermine these communities from within, so I’m glad the moderators are finally taking action against those bad-faith complainants.

                  I think whomever it is -they probably tried to just post normally and got banned many times through those reddit tactics and harrassed into creating own communities.

                  and now they know this reddit game and wont fall for bs

              Yo, this you?

              Screenshot showing NoraLenderBee account created August 21 at 8:41AM less than 3 hours before time2lose

              Guess it’s just a coincidence that you guys created accounts at the same time, show up in threads together, vote together, and talk the same.

              Speaking of which, your most damning tell is pushing this “Reddit agents” conspiracy to indiscriminately accuse every critic of “shilling” without evidence other than how they dared to call you out (for anything, apparently: undisclosed botting/spam, copy-paste reshitposting, blatant misogyny and racism, etc.) then banning them from communities your alts moderate, deleting their comments, and reporting them for harassment.

              Now that you’re using AI to write your comments, you might think no one can trace you across all your botting alts because your characteristic language errors are papered over, but you’re wrong.

              In reality, most of your alts are already linked by your own childish threats, ban evasion minging, impulsive chest-beating, and accidental persona-hopping in various argument threads. Like, here you are threatening to ban a user from your fiefdom using the wrong account: time2lose alt oldmanalex forgetting they’re not logged into their moderator account

              But even if you hadn’t already repeatedly exposed yourself or feebly lied as you just did, and even though you never disclose any of your botting alts playing victim when called out, and even if Lemmy weren’t a small town to Reddit’s metropolis where your abuse was a raindrop in a torrent… anyone who looks twice can tell it’s you.

              i mean they literally can just look, since you used the same settings to AI generate your Midjourney-ass PfPs…

              I’m barely paying attention so my list is short compared to others, but here are the accounts I’ve tagged as either confirmed or suspected alts of yours, corroborated by other users’ notes:

              @sanitation@lemmy.radio

              original/oldest account created during the migration like my account but inactive until 5 months ago; initially posted mostly in Lemmy.ml communities; nuked for Reddit bot flood spamming incel hate speech inside a month

              @sanitation@lemmy.today

              ban evasion alt of @sanitation@lemmy.radio; still active, posts in same communities; banned from several communities for spamming ~2 months ago

              @Grumpus_Maximus@thelemmy.club

              ban evasion alt of @sanitation@lemmy.radio created shortly after mods started removing original account’s posts; but spamming career was cut short by his inability to resist the draw of reposting incel hate speech from reddit

              @Mustachius_Grumpius@thelemmy.club

              A rather obvious ban evasion alt of grumpy_cat/@Grumpus_Maximus@thelemmy.club

              @oldmanalex@sh.itjust.works

              ban evasion alt of @sanitation@lemmy.today created to complain about sanitation’s getting banned from communities for spam; a mod noted his ban evasion at the time but instance ban only dropped 11 days ago; yet again, the reason was spamming incel hate speech from Reddit.

              @NoraLenderbee@lemmy.today

              dedicated mod account and ban evasion alt of @sanitation@lemmy.today was created a few days after oldmanalex got away with ban evasion and used exclusively to silence critics and manipulate votes until shortly before oldmanalex was banned; it’s his only account not yet sanctioned for incel hate speech.

              @time2lose@lemmy.world

              ban evasion alt of @sanitation@lemmy.today created the same morning as @NoraLenderbee@lemmy.today; this is OP <— you are here.

              Again many others’ lists like SMCF’s offer a far more complete timeline than mine and include other incel repost spammer accounts I haven’t confirmed, such as:

              @liquorice@lemmy.world

              @laurenceOfSuburbia@lemmy.world

              Seriously, quit all this bad-faith brigadier botting bullshit and get your ass into therapy. The incel and white supremacist Reddit content you’re compelled to dump here is toxic waste that is poisoning you.

              The only “Reddit game” being played here is yours and you’re playing yourself.

                  oh yes I banned their accounts for brigading and shilling. There should be a way to tag subversives lemmy accounts permanently.Would do it again.

                Took me a moment to digest all that, thanks for the laughs. No relation whatsoever. I do, however, agree with OP that there seems to be something shady going on with these bans on Lemmy. does not appear incidental

              The funny thing is that people do like your ai powered bot swarm taking popular content from Reddit and moving it to lemmy and if you created communities on instances that people who want organic content can block you’d be popular.

              That you don’t just shows you’re trolling.

                Oh, I know this game. I’m very familiar with these tactics.

                1. First, pressure community moderators into banning frequent posters.
                2. If that fails, push for an instance-level ban.
                3. If that doesn’t work, complain to the receiving instances and try to get them to ban those accounts.
                4. And when people move to a separate instance, suddenly the demand becomes defederation.

                The goalposts just keep moving. It’s never really about finding a solution. It’s about getting rid of people who post content.

                Who benefits - oh ya definitely reddit.

                I’ve seen these tactics before, and I’m not falling for them.

                  It’s to make it easy for people to view organic lemmy content instead of the shit you spread.

                  And the people that enjoy mindlessly upvoting reposted reddit content can do it too.

                  Everyone wins.
