unhoused? what is this, new speak? you can say homeless.
- stanleykm 2y ago
  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.

    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 2y ago
      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.

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

        > you make up new words to show off your virtues. You are hurling insults by intentionally misrepresenting the reasons people create new terminology.

        no, it's exactly why people create fake words.

        The words become less fake over time and everyone, even the most conservative of conservatives, recognizes that. There plenty, many, words you won't use because they've changed. That's how progress goes, it's always the way it's been. You can fight that, but it won't work. And then in 40 years you will sound like an insane person. I'm not saying that "unhoused" is good or will be a largely used word. But I am saying that fake words are real and you will keep up or be left behind. We have people alive, right now, who have been left behind. Guess what, they sound insane.

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

  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.
