Biden pushes new student loan repayment plan as bills loom for tens of millions (www.politico.com)

President Joe Biden on Tuesday launched a promotional blitz for his new program that helps student loan borrowers repay their debt, just weeks before millions of Americans are set to receive a loan bill for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic....

unpopular opinion: if you take out a loan, you should have to repay it in full - alternately, dont buy what you cant afford to.

eh, cofounder of Adobe asking for money even after his death? yeah that tracks

really? isnt it just forcing/extruding hot metal through a die?

probably go with a hand-crank zapper or something. it’s tricky to do much without resistors and capacitors.

1st century? probably with diamonds.

i guess that if we’re going to go the fantasy route, then I’d just steal everything I needed - the strong do as they please and the weak submit, after all. violence is the only language I’d need to speak

are american citizens enemies of the republic per section 3?

american here, I never took an oath to the constitution. i know a few folks who served in the military so presumably they did but I sure as hell didnt.

the choices some folks make I’m not sure if 30 is too young to vote

tallwookie,
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

dunno, but my folks (boomer generation) raised me to say please and thank you. good manners and politeness dont cost anything, after all. in practice these days I generally only use that verbiage when I’m writing up email at work.

because it’s a good game, or because they didnt go the DLC route?

investment opportunities are endless really. I’d buy real estate & develop it for resale - relatively easy profits there. US FDIC only insures up to 250k per account, but there are other country’s banks out there - the Swiss banking system was a popular choice in the past but I’ve heard that the Cayman Island banking system is good as well. invest in tech - small businesses, as a few tens of millions isnt going to go that far, but 100 mil is good seed capital.

or, shit, just retire on it & pass the remains to your descendants.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...

tallwookie,
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

generally no, but sometimes yes - mostly jotting down phone numbers, or if one of my many different passwords change until I can memorize it, (ie: at work), etc

other than that, the only time pen touches paper is when I write a check.

Marijuana and hallucinogen use, binge drinking reached record highs in middle-aged adults, survey finds (www.cnn.com)

Last year, more middle-aged adults were binge drinking, using marijuana or consuming hallucinogens than ever before, according to a new report. Cannabis use surged among young adults under 30, alongside historic rates of vaping, as well.

i suppose I can see how that’d be helpful. i personally have discovered that as I get older I need less numbing - quality of life has improved quite a bit so perhaps thats why? not sure - sample size of one & all

tallwookie,
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

yeah I can see that - myself, I’m building an RV (vanlife on steroids) so I can gtfo of the city and reduce my cost of living by a large percentage (and probably retire early).

eh, Montana is more diverse. bigger too
