Same. I paid off my loans but I'd love it if my friends and wife had an easier time. To say nothing of the millions being dragged down by over a trillion in debt.

But I get why people who may have invested in Student Loan asset backed securities might not want student loans forgiven. SLABS may be part of 401Ks or pension plans. I think debt shouldn't be something people can even invest in, but for those who did, I get why they oppose it. It could even potentially harm a student paying back a loan who also has a retirement account that invested in SLABS.

And this absolutely is just a band aid on a gaping wound. It doesn't actually resolve the problem, and with no attempt to remedy it in the future, I can see it just making college access even more difficult for the less fortunate.

Biden should do everything he can to push it forward, but that is just a first step, and the people opposed to it may have some valid concerns.

Do you know how it compare to the MK3S+?

I have one and want another Prusa, and not sure if the upgrades are worth it, or if it's better to just get another 3S+ just for the parity and simplicity. Plus 3S+'s are cheaper now.

The gatekeeping is especially ironic (or maybe just hypocritical) because they didn't use this meme template properly, lol. You know, like a "normie".

While I get your point, here's the other issue with how this is framed.

The advertisement entices workers to make the jump, even for a short while, to its on-campus hotel, saying: “Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction,” CNBC reported. “Next, you could walk out of your room and quickly grab a delicious breakfast or get a workout in before work starts.” It adds that after the end of the work day, “you could enjoy a quiet evening on top of the rooftop deck or take in one of the fun local activities.”

I can imagine that, at least except for the rooftop deck. Working from home. Without having to pay $99/night.

They could avoid this whole thing by simply just not forcing people to go back to the office.

Hah, I actually did that when I first started working for a small company.

The co-founder also rented out a house he owned as a duplex.

Actually wasn't that bad, he charged slightly below market rate, and was pretty attentive. But definitely felt weird and I was happy to move out after a few years. It's just an unnecessary source of potential drama.

Now my manager lives there, and has for five years.

I mean, that's a problem with a "lifetime" purchase of anything, especially software.

But as long as your expected usage over your expected period of time is cheaper than a recurring subscription for the same period of time.

They already go to the more liberal states for their abortions and their weed. Might as well download some porn while on the dispensary wifi.

Federal taxes from the liberal states will continue to prop them up.

Okay, but I'm not paying either and all I see every ~20 posts is a black box that literally just says "Sponsored Content"?

Is mine bugged or do the ads on the app kick in later, lol? Because right now it's awesome.

I hope that becomes more common as these types of features become more prevalent across multiple OEMs. I'd pay a tech-savvy mechanic or a car-savvy hacker quite a bit for features that are already installed but locked behind some arbitrary paywall.

I also just hope regulators put a stop to such behavior first, but I kind of doubt that will happen.

Woke is a defined term.

The fact that it's mis-defined or used as a pejorative does not invalidate its definition nor mean it can't be used as a descriptor of a film. It's literally an adjective.

I mean, I think it's fine to critique a movie on themes as well. It's a key aspect that makes up a film, like effects, writing, casting, or acting. I don't think critiquing it as "woke" is invalid - it tells his audience a key facet of what they want to know about a movie. If a movie was coming out and someone reviewed it saying the themes were pro-fascist, I'd also want to know that and not attend based off of theme.

I just like that a movie which, in no uncertain terms, advocated for strong, independent men is too "woke" for Ben Shapiro. But I guess if you determine your worth as a man by how much control you have over women, that tracks.

Exactly. Have we forgotten the impeachment already? And the second impeachment?

I'll believe Trump will actually go down for his crimes when we get a guilty sentence. There's still a long way to go between now and a jail time.

He may be able to delay until the election. Who knows what happens then.

He might win the election.

He may not be found guilty.

He might be found guilty and not do prison time.

He might be under home arrest and start an even more dangerous insurrection.

It's so stupid to ask what side we're on or accusing us of "moving goalposts." We're on the side of "Don't count our indicted chickens before they hatch."

Exercise never really gets easier, either mentally or physically. Even as a fairly neurotypical person, it's always easier to not work out than to work out. There's logical rationalizations that it's good for you and if you work out hard enough maybe your body will see fit to reward you with some endorphins, but it's only "habit" in so much that it's good self-discipline. I wouldn't lump it in with stuff like brushing your teeth at all.
