College students still need to print stuff, some more than others. Especially if you're like me and the only way you can retain information is to take handwritten notes, physically highlight, and write in the margins. I don't know why, but ebooks and PDFs just don't stick in my brain. There's a printer in my department, but not that convenient when you don't live on campus, and the library charges you like you're at a Kinkos.

I'm amazed that these printer companies feel they can pull this kind of shit though. You'd think they'd be doing everything they can to keep the 10 people who still need home printers and scanners.

Since when do most people in the US still work manual labor jobs? Have we not been in a service economy since around the 80s or did I miss something

And who can't rock a bikini at 30? WTF, where do you live?

Yeah, wtf are these comments saying "many people have been nursing back problems for years by their 30th birthday" lmfao. Like what world do they live in? Realistically though, they're probably 12 and think 30 is ancient.

Not voting democrat is a direct vote for fascism. Just because it's not ideal and not fair doesn't make it any less true.

It's just more divisive bullshit purposely turned into bad memes to catch people's attention. As usual, it puts people in groups and then encourages disagreement between them. It keeps people from looking up. It's so stupid.

Besides, Boxxxy is just an e-girl. Where are the differences

I didn't either, and I did mention it to customer service because I've had so many problems with the thing since it switched. The most aggravating one being that I can't watch new HBO content on mobile, only tv because I just get a black screen. But old HBO shows work fine, and so does anything not made by them. But all of it worked before they switched to Max. I've gone back and forth with them over and over and gotten no explanation and no fix. I've tried everything. Besides, I had no idea when I paid for a year of it they were going to suddenly rebrand to being all about reality shows and home remodel shit. So fucking sick of companies pulling shit like this. It's like we now have to constantly keep from being scammed by the companies we use every day.

Most real women don't look like twenty year old thin white models.

just increased the national debt by about 45 billion a year.

But helping student loan borrowers would have cost too much. For fuck's sake.

Another example of why sex work should be legal, so that people who do it can have more protection from freaks like this guy.

It's crazy because the first amendment literally says that there should be no national religion, yet it's acceptable that "in god we trust" because it's not a specific religion. That's just such a bad faith interpretation of the law. Plus it's always the "constitutionalists" who are pushing this kind of shit, which I guess is the kind of hypocrisy we've all come to expect from them.

Aside from the subject of the article, when are we going to just stop with the "torched!" and "slammed!" and "destroys!" titles?? I hate them so much. Especially when someone "slams!" someone else. Like who the fuck came up with saying that.

It's very obvious here that no one is saying "if you don't like a Barbie movie then you're sexist." The point is if you don't agree with equality, whether in a movie or irl, then that's the problem. But I feel like you probably already know this.

But yes, if people from certain religions and political parties would just stop with the racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia, maybe people wouldn't feel the need to express cultural values the oppression they're experiencing. Maybe consumers wouldn't identify so much with the message of films like this. Yet somehow it's always positive media like this that gets pushback, and meanwhile, laws keep getting passed in bumfuck states that are stripping human rights from people one by one. But sure, Barbie is the "exhausting" issue here.

In other words, maybe there wouldn't be media "pushing" for equality if we already had it.

And idk, I find Marvel/superhero bullshit to be exhausting and immature and just bad, so I don't watch any of it, I block everything about it on lemmy and reddit, and I don't comment on it. Then it's not exhausting anymore.

Seems like they didn't have any problem getting drivers to take them there when the fares were lower either.

One time I had to schedule a doctor's appointment so far in advance that by the time my appointment was coming up, I knew it was going to conflict with my final exams. The semester hadn't started when I made the appointment. When I rescheduled, it was going to be another five months. So I said fuck that, and that was nearly two years ago. Not sure what the answer is supposed to be.

You guys are getting 10 minutes?

I mean, as of monday his admin just instated a low income repayment plan where you don't have to make payments after the October payment restart if you're an individual making less than $32k/yr or married making $67k/yr household.

So there's that.

There's a lot of scary Handmaid's Tale language just in those quotes. "Moral poverty," jfc.

The research is out there with a quick search. As a white woman though, I definitely don't need research to know it's true. Especially with gynecological issues, pain levels, and psychiatry. We're "hysterical," and though they don't use that word anymore, that judgement is alive and well.

It's kind of silly to pretend like "liberal" and "conservative/right" don't have corresponding political parties in the US. Maybe they're not supposed to, but that's not reality.

When you work at a college you'd be amazed at how much time that takes up. Or kids just darting into the middle of a four way stop intersection on skateboards, or skating down the yellow line in the middle of the road. Or stepping out in front of a car without looking because they're heads are bent down looking at their phones (which also happens when they almost walk right into you on campus). Or the people who rev their engines and drive as fast as possible through parking garages to see how many car alarms they can set off. I saw that twice just last semester. Or every single day dodging the people who drive on the wrong side of the road in parking lots and garages because apparently they really need those lines to tell them what side to be on. Living in a major city is even worse. And it doesn't matter if the person deliberately runs out in front of you, it'll be your fault because you're the one in the car. At least in my state. Yeah, I'd say pedestrians are a great example.
