Because thats how people in the USA act, like ending up in a trailer park is the worst thing that could happen to them. They would rather pay $2,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment than $450 for a 3 bedroom trailer simply because they don’t want to be thought of as “trailer trash”. Its very stupid and irresponsible, but any time I bring it up to anyone irl, that I am not paying a million dollars for rent the way they are, which is why I can work part time and still afford more than them, they have 45,000 excuses and reasons why that couldn’t possibly be true, even when I actively show them my rent receipts and paychecks.

Care to expand on why?

Edit: I remembered what Planet Amazonia was like 3.5 seconds after making this comment, but now I feel weird deleting it.

I considered going to the Wizarding World too, but what if I end up a Muggle? Also, I’m 34 I can’t exactly enroll in Hogwarts at this point.

Thats actually a very wild concept to me because things would already be so different but also SO similar. Like all your friends and family would be the same but now some of them have shown you they’re Nazi sympathizers. Also whats it like in 20 years? It would be 2 completely different realities but on the same timeline.

I am very interested in this episode of Black Mirror.

I would take a risk and choose something crazy like The Walking Dead or Fallout. I’m trying to live out my Billy Badass dreams and if I die so be it.

This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.

LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a camper, a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit-in kitchen, laundry room, all that jazz.

SAME

You described exactly why I am so thankful to never have experienced apartment life and pray I never will. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely been in worse places than a shitty apartment, like homeless or living with my mom, but at least I still get to say I never had to share a space with strangers that can hear me getting it on. Now I live in a single-wide trailer, my rent is only $450 a month ( I make $25/h working from home, so rent to income is insanely low) and I have 3 bedrooms, fenced-in front and back yards, a dedicated laundry room, and I can’t even see my closest neighbor’s house.

Funny how one persons nightmare could be another persons dream. People use “ending up” in a trailer as a warning, and I literally could not imagine a better place to live.

Damn I am having the exact oppisite experice. I hate dealing with the public and everything that comes with working outside of the house, but all the work from home jobs have been scooped up and its been impossible to find a decent one since COVID. Its extremely annoying to me because I don’t want to go back to retail and feel like I am not being given a choice.

No and I hate that its expected and I hate when people do it to me. I price my items at what I want for them, I am not playing head games where I price them above what I actually want so you can feel like you’re winning when you haggle me down, thats what everyone else in the resale space does and I find it stupid and manipulative. Just pay what it cost or find something cheaper, price what you want to get for it and stop pricing way above asking so you can have “wiggle room” to negotiate and make people feel like they are getting a good deal. Its like playing a game, when all I want is to exchange money for goods.

That does sound annoying.

Omg I can relate. I rolled my ankle once and it was hurting for months and months, turns out I had a hairline break that never healed correctly; now my ankle is permanently slightly crooked.
