Do you have the A/C on tonight? I just lowered mine to 72F which seems to be the sweet spot these days.

And for those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting dodint in person, he's much less of a dodint in real life :)
He, Mrs. dodint, and his buddies were fun to chill with all weekend, and I'd do it again next weekend if I could (minus the apocalyptic weather).

Hmm, getting rid of federally subsidized student loans would probably lessen the amount of regulatory paperwork which would trim college payrolls and potentially lower costs to students. Hmmm....
No one would loan "poor" students any money if the govt didn't back the loans.

TIL shmenguin makes over $200K/year. i'm just trying to understand the purpose. maybe if there were a sliding scale, and not an arbitrary cutoff, that would work for everyone. but you can't just say, "you make a thousand bucks past the threshold - you aren't getting that 100K back." it complicates ...

Also, the idea that "I paid off my loans, so it'd be a slap in the face if they just forgave debt" is incredibly selfish and dumb. Just because you went through that pain doesn't mean that others should do the same or they are somehow lesser than you. The cycle needs broken somewhere. I'm not again...

The person who owes $50K because they didn't want to share a dorm room and who now makes $250K a year doesn't need loan forgiveness. I know this is not a typical case but it's silly to want to forgive all this debt.

That's my post at the top and was a comment on Trump repeatedly creating a crisis then dialing it back and wanting credit for averting said crisis. If you are interpreting that as "being disappointed" that he called off the bombing you're not paying attention.

I mean, when you're freaking out over a hypothetical of Trump not accepting a loss in the election, do you honestly expect the fact that Hillary and Stacy Abrams are doing that exact thing to not be mentioned?? How TF do you expect to be taken seriously? Asking a question isn’t “freaking out.” Yes,...

In a vacuum I guess it would be an admiral statement to make? But the only reason this "crises" exists is because Trump reneged on a deal, that the black guy made, to show how big his dick is.
