  • The original question says "the next four years". That (four years being the length of a presidential term) and the general timing of this post (the very recent election) strongly implies it's US-centric.

  • I get that, but they were talking about student loan debt, not other debt.

  • That's one month, though. You seemed to be saying you could ask to get your entire debt forgiven. That ain't happening.

  • Yeah, seriously, it's the US Government who lent us money, not Granny Sue from around the corner.

  • Only assuming they made enough to cover interest. I certainly don't.

  • long serie of figures faithful

    I hate to be that person, but the singular of "series" is "series". There is no singular called "serie".

  • A: "You should switch to Matrix."

    B: "I'm used to this. I don't want to learn a new thing."

    A: "Well it's very similar, so there wouldn't really be much of a change."

    B: "Well if it's the exact same thing, why should I switch? I might as well just stay on Discord."

     

    ^ THIS shit pisses me off. It's like MAKE UP YOUR MIND. DO YOU WANT DIFFERENT OR SAME?

  • It would only harm google

    Good.

    and deter competition

    Perhaps not. They've "deterred" competition for years. Maybe with them being pushed back a little it'd give some room for other companies to breath for once.

  • If that's true, then, well... Dumbasses... Never make an ultimatum unless you can't handle it being rejected. That's like the oldest rule in negotiation. I know that, and I'm a social dumbass. Those fuckers have no excuse.

  • Thanks. That's interesting. How come they can't use FIFA anymore?

  • Yeah, I used to use GOG Galaxy, but then I discovered the magic of

  • If you are an American, how are you preparing for the upcoming tariffs and possible trade war?

    I'm not. I would love to, but there's not really much I can do as far as I can see.

    What impact do you think it will have on you?

    Are there critical items to purchase now that will be too expensive to afford next year?

    Probably a lot of things. Contrary to what a lot of MAGA morons would like to claim, tariffs very rarely ever benefit the country establishing the tariff. Very few things are actually wholly made in America nowadays. With such a global economy, even things that are marketed as "made in America" are typically not made 100% in America. And even if they are, the parts are often sourced from around the world since, with modern shipping, that's actually cheaper typically than sourcing it in-country. (Not to mention that some parts can't be sourced in-country simply because no one exists to provide that service anymore.)

    Are you changing your savings or investments?

    Bold of you to assume that I have any extra money to put into either of those. I put in the same amount of money every week as I have the last while: whatever I can, which isn't much. I don't get paid shit for my job, yet prices keep going up. Sadly, it's not like I have much money to adjust. :(

  • GOG Galaxy constantly is showing ads

    I haven't used GOG Galaxy for a few years now, but

  • I feel like the "so far" is implied...unless you've somehow figured out how to 100% accurately predict the future and you haven't told anyone.

    ...By the way, if that's the case, rude.

  • Yeah, JPEGXL is a pretty awesome (tho still very new) image format and I like to keep compatibility advances for it in mind, /r/trans is, well, a community for trans people, and /r/swtor is for the community surrounding the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO.

  • That's how I feel too. I'm mostly committed to Lemmy, to the point where I even deleted my Reddit account, but I also still lurk in a few, like /r/SWTOR, /r/JPEGXL, /r/trans, and /r/ChangeMyView.

    There are communities for the latter three, but the JPEG-XL one is just a mirror community, the Trans one is not quite as active (still decent AFAICT), and the top CMV one I can find has a little over 100 subscribers so pretty dead.
