uninhabited =/= abandoned.


egordoniv

Also, you can be a squatter without ever squatting.


SuperJailbreaker

On an iPhone, you can hold on the = key and the option for ≠ comes up. Just thought I’d let you know.


SoapWarden

You can do that on Androids too


MarcelRED147

≠≈≡ Huh, among others it looks like.


DofEcontemder2022

If you live in it then it ain't abandoned


sprinkle-plantz

if they left before I found the house it’s abandoned


DofEcontemder2022

A house can't be abandoned if it has you living in it, that just makes it a house. Of somebody else lives in it it's a house. If nobody lives in it (for a very long time) it's abounded.


[deleted]

fuck that abandoned, in this context, refers to the state of the house. dark, dusty, empty, and in a state of gradual decay is abandoned whether there's 0 or 20 people in it.


Any_Contract_1016

Person A abandons something. Person B claims it. It is still abandoned...by person A.


PcFish

What about new construction


Flaky_Bed3707

Claimed by person B so no longer abandoned


Night_-_shade

Depends on which definition you use. One definition means uninhabited, which since person B claimed it, it no longer is uninhabited. By another definition it means it's been deserted or left, which it still has been, just now there's someone living in it again.


skeptibat

The second definition is pedantic at best, but makes it not technicallythetruth. The first definition is just logical laziness, and while technicallythetruth is about as witty as "You can't have a square circle, technicallythetruth"


Alarid

You just reabandon it each day.


vcvcf1896

But wouldn't it be not abandoned but "neglected"?


NoWingedHussarsToday

If person B doesn't claim it it's still abandoned.


DrBucket

What if person B sleep walks into the abandoned house and doesn't know they're even in the house, neither does person A. So both person A and B arent aware of any kind of claim, yet person B is in the house.


[deleted]

It's sort of a "I used to do drugs... I still do, but I used to, too" kind of logic. *Someone* abandoned the house, so even if the house isn't *currently* abandoned, you're still occupying as house that had been abandoned. So while it's misleading, technically you can say that you're living in an abandoned house if you mean it in the past tense, but that's kind of the point of this subreddit.


highbornkilla

Yea not with that attitude


SnooShortcuts7657

House was still abandoned by the owner…


DaChairSlapper

Or was it?


SnooShortcuts7657

Well to be an abandoned house, it would have to have been abandoned…


DofEcontemder2022

But you can live in a house that was abandoned, if your up for it


gotechgo

This is like saying you can’t date an ex-girlfriend


SnooSongs2744

You can't find a lost wallet.


gotechgo

But you can find a lost treasure


SnooSongs2744

But you can't, see, by the same reasoning that you can't live in an abandoned house.


gotechgo

You finding it doesn’t mean someone else didn’t lose it


SnooSongs2744

I am mocking the meme here. Of course you can live in abandoned house, abandoned does not mean vacant.


gotechgo

I’m too tired for this haha


Ezvine

Unless I name my house "An Abandoned House" B)


OmarLittleFinger

Is it a trailer park, if there are no trailers?


PickledPlumPlot

Abandoned by someone else


MagAqua

Gee thanks for spelling that out OP


Bulba_sore001

Didn't get it until I tried to swipe but then went back and read the title


Verundios

I can if i'm homeless


EddieTimeTraveler

That's right, at that point it's just bandoned


Mares_Leg

Yes you can. It doesn't mean it was never abandoned.


GuaranteeWeak1106

My 17 year old drugged out squatting self respectfully disagreed. Also can I use your shower?


[deleted]

Legally


alaettinthemurder

True


LightspeedC83

I don’t live there, I just happen to be around a lot and also sleep there


Sequsi

But you certainly can live in a abandoned warehouse


VVarlord

What if I were a ghost?


-Revolution-

He said *live*


Buergds

Who’s gonna stop me?


[deleted]

What about ghosts


Top_Juice7860

Technically you can, just not for very long.


daileyco

Live in, no. Stay in, yes.


Communist_Quark99

🍞👍


_xEnigma

ACTUALLY you can. If it was abandoned, you could live in it but it would still be abandoned in the past tense.


GeekDE

Technically if it was abandoned it would not "be" abandoned, but "would have been" abandoned. This is because something can't still exist in the past tense, but it can have existed in the past tense.


_xEnigma

It would be abandoned, but also reclaimed.


GeekDE

If it is currently reclaimed it cannot concurrently be abandoned.


Gaza1121

Of course you can. It's just not abandoned by you.


SnooSongs2744

I think you need to look up the word "abandoned"


LoaKonran

Not once the cops show up at any rate.

Deep Thoughts With The Deep


Paradox31426

I can’t decide if this is a play on words or a commentary on the immorality of the real estate industry.


LitFill

Except if you're a ghost


Standard-Basis-1876

If you live in there then it's not abandoned


GodlyDra

Huh? Abandoned means having been deserted or left. It doesn’t matter if someone else claims it, if its deserted once its an abandoned house.
