I'm not in support of this practice, I'm just sharing the info.

Don't shoot the messenger my dude

Excuses.

If they can't handle the responsibility, we cannot burden our society by letting them 'own' our housing stock.

Are you participating in the same thread that I am?

I literally said that landlords are using software to set the prices with software in collaboration with other landlords.

I also said there are lawsuits open about this action.

I was then told not to be a devil's advocate, and my response was, I am not advocating for anything.

Now you say that I am making excuses?

What logic train are you guys all on?

Because I am not on the same logic train as you.

Ihave not supported anything, or advocated for anything, or excused anything and yet you seem to have convinced yourself that I have, and I don't know where it's coming from.

Like if I'm fucking up fine, you know, downvote me. If I'm saying something that's controversial, fine, downvote me. But nothing I have said should be considered a fuck-up or controversial. So I don't know why people are against me saying it.

It's possible that your lemmy client is doing something weird, you seem to respond or get responses to some parallel comments

There are some spectacularly stupid people in this thread, that are apparently refusing to accept that renovations are a thing.

It's quite bizarre.

same thread?

I dunno, am i? (Edit: this was a serious question! My app is bugging!)

i literally said

Yeah im not seeing that, but im getting lots of weird formatting in reply positions

also said

Not what i was replying to though

what logic train

I think people were replying to what you said here as if you were the poster a couple comments upthread, because it sounded like it, and like ypu were defemding it.

more train metaphor

Thank you. I appreciate this.

Already addressed

fucking up

Well you are made of meat. Probably no adequate refridgeration. Gross. Downvoted for unrefrigerated meat.

Don't be a devil's advocate. Devils can advocate for themselves.

Imagine trying to understand different perspectives.

Critical thinking really is dead if this is the kind of attitude you think is acceptable.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm literally not advocating for anything. I'm sharing knowledge and allowing others to come to their own conclusions.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Your arguing with someone who's head is far too deep in their own ass to actually understand what you're saying.

It's frustrating, very frustrating, that this is the lowest common denominator on the Internet today. And it's only getting worse as kids grow up under the thumb of their corporate spoon fed news feeds.
