When you always imagined your mediocre life in 2030 would be living in a bland, sprawling, semi-dethatched housing estate – but even that mediocrity is now out of your league. /s

Sir this is a Buzz Lightyear container
Pfft… listen to this guy! Thinks he’ll be able to afford a suicide pod!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
A house with half of its straw roof gone??
We all live in dethatched houses now.
Be lucky to be living at all in 2030
Bye-bireland
This is why I’m eating all the animal products, burning all the fossil fuels and using plastic straws. Scorched-earth policy
OR … Rent out that suicide capsule as a cosy ‘home’ capsule

“If you don’t go to college and get a good paying job you will end up in a shithole or a van on the side of the road”

“If you go to college and get a good paying job you might get lucky and end up in a shithole or a van on the side of the road”
See this shit is why I always tell people to build or buy outside cities / towns and commute.
Christ I just looked it up, those things are real. That’s pure evil.

From 2000-2007 most houses were out of my league, in 2018 they became in my league and again in 2022. Prices change, stop being dramatic.
Funny enough I read a letter I sent myself from 2011. It goes on about the difficult economic times, but thought by 2020 I would be married in a semi detached house and a car with a decent if unremarkable career. Mediocre ambitions cannot be achieved in Ireland.
Why I don’t want to come back to Ireland. The cost of buying property is insane and rent is feckin mental.
​
Still can’t buy property here but at least my rent is low and I live in a modern city. Still, I miss Ireland. It’s been 4 years since I could get home with COVID being the main culprit and now high airfare.
The word is semi detached – means it’s attached to one house on one side (as opposed to detached, mid terrace, end of terrace). It has nothing to do with the thatching.
“This place has windows? I don’t think I could afford that!”
It says a lot about how far we’ve come that a semi D is somehow considered “mediocre”
Logan’s run we should kill all those unsexy people over 30 instant housing crisis avoided.
O wait I’m over 30 I may not have taught this fully true
