From our OP
What do you mean I can't afford an apartment downtown working 32.5 hours a week
Centretown’s average household income among property owners in between 85k and 90k.
maybe i'm a wacky leftist but... good? lets make everyone get 60k?? why not?
If you read anything in this thread read this chain, truly the peak of reddit financial literacy.
If you work for minimum wage sorry, you shouldn't expect to live on your own. Not in today's world.
Being born a leaf is tantamount to being griefed every day of your life

That map seems to be just the city centre and... well... yeah? You are not going to be able to live in the city centre on the minimum. Anywhere. It's not like bus drivers got 3-room flats in the city centre in USSR, either. Limited resources are always going to have to have a limited access

I would get it if it was any other city but living in Ottawa's downtown core (lol) is having the hustle and bustle costs without any of the hustle and bustle.

Yeah ottawa is the most boring city/"capital" I've ever been to. You probably have more hustle and bustle in fricking mississauga

Like seriously, just move to Gatineau. It's cheaper and more fun.

Holy frick these redditors think you could live without roommates on minimum wage at any point in modern history. In some ways, they have an even rosier view of the past than rightoids.

White supremacist john oliver just did a show about how people need rent control, and showed examples of how awful life is in cities who have had rent control.

Do they realize more than 1 person can live in a house or apartment? Redditors are so lonely they don't realize other people exist

I'm sorry. I'm neurodivergent and suffer from PTSD and depression.
It's impossible for me to live with another human, because that would stress me out immediately! I mean if I want to sleep and they go to the potty, that is impossible. Or if I'm home and on reddit on the weekend and they have friends over? My social anxiety would kill me, thus I couldn't even go to the potty!
Thus I deserve a 2 (at least!) bedroom flat!

I think the thing i hate most about progressives is the way the constantly make excuses when someone provides them a solution. Go live in the suburbs if you can’t afford downtown “ohhh but i’m disabled (read: fat or anxiety)”. Go find a better job “ohhh but i don’t have any skills”.
These people truly are children. Progressives from families with money embrace their extended childhood by going to grad school and getting doctorates because they too don’t have any skills so they just remain in a classroom from the age of 5 to 30. Progressives from families without money get booted in to the world and then complain that they don’t live in a penthouse in a prime location even though they work 32.5 hours a week as a barista.

Living in a 2-bedroom Malibu flat is a human right and if it can only be secured by revolution, then so be it.

Maybe you should go talk to some psychologists before offering an option. First off, it's obvious that your only exposure to kink has been through porn. There's nothing wrong with a naked body, it just provides a teachable moment. Kids in Europe are exposed to way more nudity than the kids in the US, and they turn out fine.
Kink is not sexual abuse, but you're trying to equate the two because that's YOUR current understanding of what kink is, which is wrong. There's nothing wrong with a child seeing someone in bdsm get up, you just have to explain that some adults like dressing up in costumes. Kinksters at Pride are not engaged in s*x acts, and you shouldn't confuse their self-expression with obscenity.
