  1. whether you get some loan forgiveness or not, the unemployment should not have resulted in that outcome. no way. these are backed by the government, guaranteed, and with that added assurance should come more benefits for the borrower. I think that situation was total bullshit.
  2. I mean rule number one you learn as a lesbian... don't chase the straight gals, and certainly don't trust the bi women either, they always leave you for a guy.
  3. so the good things he said about sark are shit? i'm confused.
  4. the number one reason why we will be hated is because we don't give a fuck and will never be an SEC homer program. I actually think CDC will operate as a peer and not try and "tell the SEC how it's gonna be" but I also think he's going to ask for things that no other school would dare challenge Alabama for as the conference center is now a little further west. and if Texas wins it will only get worse. as for how the hate will play out, you actually don't look to A&M you look to Arkansas. Their schtick is tried and true (and tired) ... if Texas wins, of course they have the most resources (and so they don't win enough), and if Texas loses, you can't find a program that does less with more. There is no compliment, only shit. so fuck 'em. I ain't no SEC means more shit, it can't mean anymore than it already does at Texas. did I say fuck 'em? fuck 'em.
  5. fuck anyone on the left saying don't miss next time. more violence from the right may be inevitable win, lose or assassination but we should not condone violence, ever.
  6. you're correct, except you left out it was a deep state conspiracy the SS and law enforcement were in on it and Trump is anointed from God to solve all of our problems with a national plea for unity to be achieved with mass deportation, taking rights away from women and telling gay people to go fuck themselves because fucking their same sex partners is gonna be illegal.
  7. 1, x is that how I'm supposed to do this?
  8. I mean I'm just getting over the corna so ...
  9. nah, it's another Venezuelan illegal immigrant thug just released from prison with a one way ticket paid for by the Venuzuelan president to the US that caused this. mass deportation!!!!
  10. dems have until their convention to get this shit right and in the meantime they better be running on generic Dem vs. Trump to get the anti-trump sentiment higher. I'm really not expecting a well thought out strategy nor a well executed strategy between now and then anyway. it's a cluster fuck and everyone is to blame (read that last part as howard hughes with the music to make yourself feel better).
  11. that's because millions of illegal immigrants - Venezuelan violet murderers, rapists and thugs - have been dropped off in DC and are on the hunt for treasure. you should....
  12. are you a fascist? are you deliberately lying to create an exaggerated and inflated enemy to blame for your target voters problems? have you stoked the fears of tribalism to gain votes? are you really offering to help those voters with the targeted programs and relief needed to help them thrive or for those even less fortunate to help get them back on their feet? or are you instead blaming fictitious enemies so that you can do as you please and line the pockets of your oligarch class donors and buddies? will you go the distance on mass, indiscriminate deportation and stripping rights from queer-folk in order to keep up your charade? don't let anyone tell you otherwise, you are a fascist piece of shit.
  13. you are 100% correct. so are you. half the population (plus or minus a few percentage points) doesn't vote. about 2/3 of them don't even pretend. The other 1/3 actively look for reasons not to vote. He's a nutjob, he's too old, for that reason, I'm out. that plus or minus a few percentage points is the election. motivation to GOTV is paramount. anti-trump with a net-negative biden isn't a safe bet. last time it was anti-trump and neutral biden and he won. and before anyone assume I'm anti-biden, I'm not. I'm livid it looks like his admin isn't getting a second term whether by losing or by stepping down.
  14. get outta here with reasonable positions based on logic and compassion! BOOTSTRAPPS!@! btw - my student debt profile from 2002: - $60,000 (Univ. of Texas / Private law school) - all interest subsidized while in school (9 years) - fixed rate, 2.95% (when market rate was 7.25% for a home loan) - 25 year term - $300/month repayment - starting salary out of law school, $160,000 if students came out of school with this profile, i'd say fuck em, pay your way. but the problem is they aren't and to your point there are thousands of people who fell victim to the student loan profiteering schemes of shit for profit schools with no degree at all or no marketable degree. now they have higher rate, variable rate interest loans for schools that cost a tiny fortune. it's a fucked up situation and the millions of illegal immigrants, those thugs and violent criminals being shipped straight from prisons to the US and being dropped in our country from central america need to be rounded up and mass deported to solve the problem. LET"S FUCKING GO!!!
  15. First I question its veracity. I could stop there. But as soon as you strip away the latent morality and judgment you can evaluate a number of factors. First and foremost, gay marriage is in its infancy as an institution. There’s little research, therapists helping same sex couples usually glean from straight marriage research to aid. There is obviously tons of overlap and even within straight couples there are differences. I don’t know how gay men fight and resolve conflict but I can say two women conflict has its differences to straight couples. That’s a shallow attempt to highlight the issue but it’s subtle and meaningful at the same time. second, there is a ton of outcast pressure on LGBTQ folks already so mental health is always an issue. This is Christians acting the oppressors then saying see, they are fucked up when a marriage fails with no self awareness to realize they and how they treat their queer kids is a major factor in queer relationship instability (and their straight kids are not immune either). I don’t know a lot of folks who escape the family of origin and societal pressure unscathed that means there are lots of hurt queer folk and hurt people hurt people. It’s getting better. Third, on the societal pressure front most LGBTQ folk resist normative demands to some extent so that means while little girls are taught to dream of their wedding day, many queer folk have outright scoffed at that. And that dynamic goes on and on across hetero normative societal values - monogamy being one of them, sex positivity, gender binary being another, going to church can be added to the list and on and on. Obviously some straight people scoff at some of this as well, but it’s more extreme in queer culture. So yeah the value of the institution itself may not be shared the same way. I know very few gay people who see marriage as a religious sacrament and covenant. They see it as a legal agreement with tremendous importance but we aren’t moving on in the next life as queen and queen of our own universe. There’s nothing inherently magical or eternal about a marriage promise. so of course there could be different outcomes. Guess what, I’ll bet you $100 (big spender here) that lesbian couples will outlast everyone else and straight couples will fall in the middle and gay men the least all for mostly biological and psychological reasons that have nothing to do with morality. When you add kids I would think longevity increases across all categories of relationships as would be expected - and I find nothing judgmental about these potential differences. Nothing.
  16. I hope it’s a breeze. Everyone else in my family it’s nothing but allergies rn.
  17. Thank you. I had RSV this spring at home it was super weird. 3 weeks, fatigue, low fever, congestion, not much else. Longest I’ve ever been sick 3 freaking weeks. Today I’ve had a stress melting evening - wife and I had dinner with my boys we laughed so hard listening to them tell us about the teenager slang like “riz”, walked the dog, looked at the mountains I forgot over the 6 days of hell, enjoyed an easy deep breath. Gonna hit the inhaler one more time and go to bed and see what happens. No codeine. Decided to sleep on the couch again where it’s easier to sleep sitting up and not lying down. Fingers crossed. and shit, the first two days we had actually driven to telluride and went to 9000 or so feet, staying in a 3 story condo where the bedrooms were actually just really small rooms directly off the stairs. I can’t sleep and then I realize I’m not breathing and I had a damn well near panic attack. Trapped out of my lungs, trapped out of my sleep, trapped in a small as you could imagine room that really felt like a cell, in telluride which is BFE for real, there is hardly a more remote spot, wow I wanted to crawl out of my own skin. Even awake breathing deeply was beyond difficult because of the panic. That’s when we went to the ER at 2am. I would not wish this kind of experience on anyone. It’s been total hell.
  18. Fine, agreed. He needs to go. I have ZERO confidence the Dems will make this better anytime soon. A month will be wasted before there’s any momentum. It’s possibly the biggest cluster fuck I’ve ever seen. And I’ll gladly blame Biden now too. It’s a fucking embarrassment.
  19. Republicans: and dems need to be like: * * I’m not advocating political violence just big boy politics to stomp down the fascist fucks from winning.
  20. It’s too late. And yeah Biden shoulda stepped down a while ago and the admin lied to selfishly attempt to retain staffer power but shit it doesn’t matter now it all happened and it’s too late.
  21. At least a nice dinner before the turbo fucking. Maybe a show as well.
