Speaking of wealth, on an online forum, from an internet capable device, and having the safety and luxury of time to do so, is sort of ironic, no?

I think you can criticize wealth while having it.

Also, the unhoused have cell phones too.

[_zoltan_]

unhoused? what is this, new speak? you can say homeless.

[stanleykm]

Unhoused is a term that has been used for a number of years. Just because you dont bother keeping up to date doesnt mean the world needs to cater to you.

[pb7]

No, the world doesn’t need to cater to you when you make up new words to show off your virtues. Everyone knows what homeless means.

[stanleykm]

You can keep up with the times or you can make angry posts on the internet about people being “woke” or “pc” or whatever insult you decide to hurl because things are different now.

[pb7]

Where did I hurl insults? The homeless are still homeless and in greater numbers so no, things aren't really any different.

[_zoltan_]

I mean newspeak is definitely woke and pc, whether you like it or not.

[striking]

I mean what I said. Sometimes people end up on the streets as a result of unstable living situations. They may still have homes while not being housed. And as far as I know, these not-quite-homeless people are the most likely of that category to have cell phones, so it is actually fairly relevant to my comment that I use that particular word.

It reflects poorly on you to choose the least relevant part of my comment to reply to, poorer still when doing so makes it clear you're missing the point.

The internet is not a luxury it is a necessity. A mobile phone is not a luxury it is a necessity.

There is nothing ironic unless you are living in the year 1995.

[hungie]

It's not a necessity. Plenty of people somehow don't die even though they have landlines and no internet.

[rollinDyno]

Explain the irony.

[aamargulies]

Yes.
