Counter argument: the streets are full of homeless people doing exactly that. Look before you leap
Homeless people are tying the universe together?
We should really be paying them for that.
And housing them, of course.
Counter-argument is to the outer post, not to the inner one.
kneejerk circlejerk contextless reaction.
You're not wrong, but you are acting like an automaton.
I implore you to read about why people actually end up on the street and to remember it is always better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt
really? what do you think happen to people that quit their jobs without preparation on impulse when their savings run out?
Follow up : do you think telling people to be careful when making huge decisions like that is a bad thing to do?
Telling people to be careful =/= making a big generalization about how people end up homeless in a way that puts the blame on them
My point stands, it would be wise to read about why people actually end up on the street before making that judgement for them
And for the record whenever I impulsively quit a job with no backup i just would go find another job and do gig work in between...
