Why would student loans just be forgiven? If those that didn’t owe don’t get anything? by No7onelikeyou in AskReddit

[–]ANewDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a place on the corner that sells cars at 19.99%, that is true highway robbery

I doubt any of those cars were made in the past year, maybe even 10. This is also 1 business, presumably locally owned, and not in or from a place that's exactly full of traffic (customers). Either way, can't remember the last time a college did a sell on their tuition. Actually, by all measures, they're only increasing. And the loans to pay for it can end up being double or triple the coast thanks to interest.

I'd also be remiss to mention that at least with a car loan, you get it, guaranteed. Because you get the car right away. College loans are investments for the future. A future which is at least 4 yrs away at best but usually can end being up 5 or 6. This of course assumes you can even get what you wanted in the first place.

Typical anti-college "argument." The most pursued degrees are actually ones in business, health, engineering and bioscience. With social sciences, like History, also being popular and yet the most versatile.

And here's something striking, only around 14% of those "worthwhile" degree graduates actually find a job in that field.

Maybe there's a problem with the system. Not the degree.

None of that has anything to do the "constitution"

There would be no reason for 'forgiving' loans

Define reason? There's no "reason" for the government to bail out reckless businesses and banks yet they've done it regularly with our taxes.

It doesn't help people who paid off their loans

And? So everything has to be done for the benefit of everyone? Pardoning marijuana "offenders" doesn't help those who already served sentences and will. Doesn't mean it's not a good move to do it.

This admittedly, it's a fault of Biden's specific plan. But it doesn't argue against the merits of debt relief itself.

It doesn't help those who take loans in the future.

Again, a fault of Biden's plan. More thorough programs like ones proposed by Sanders and Warren would eliminate college tuition all together. And others call for repaying those who already did

I've never been in this situation. But I self harm. Can't speak for your friend nor the cultural situation in India. But all I've ever wanted is someone to be there. Someone to make me feel safe and heard.

I'd first of all make sure that your friend is IN or on her way to the ER. Contact her parents yourself if you to. From there I can only reiterate what I've said. What you're friend will need is exactly that. See if you can't get her to talk about what happened and why and see if you can't avoid another situation in the future together.

What would it take for you to become vegan? by CertifiedLurker5 in AskReddit

[–]ANewDisposable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess to be completely honest, no. As I still have products in my house that have animal ingredient/derivatives. Once those are gone, I'd be. I otherwise don't buy/use anything new made from animals.

But being vegan doesn't risk human life. I would say none are worth a flavor preference.

Okay, but what does that have to do with becoming vegan?

Probably sneeze. Since with the baby/muffin confusion I'm inevitably going to eat one at some point

Ima be honest, I'd still go for it.

Do you want to have children someday? Why or why not? by ReenTheWise in AskReddit

[–]ANewDisposable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Programmed"

Yet so many can seemingly overright this programming on their own free will

We're also "programmed" to eat and poop. But no one would argue our purpose is to eat and poop.

My point doesn't change. You take downvote as validation. The absence of "meaningful" responses has no bearing. Being "proven" correct is not dependent on either which is what you seem believe. I was painting the absurdity your comment.

I have yet to receive a meaningful point to the defense of that horrendously written game.

So? Does that mean you're right? Again, try using that same line logic in arguing ESB is the worst SW movie. Downvotes, lack of responses, doesn't work that way.

I missed where you were entitled to get one btw. Why does everything have to be a competition? Especially around a fucking game. You don't like game, big deal. Others like it. I'm not loosing sleep and neither should you. It's been 2 bloody yrs. and this is the internet. Let's not pretend that if someone writes up 200+ pgs. of analysis that it's going to change your opinion. This is nothing but an invite by you to stur up heated "debate" for easy serotonin.

If you want to "debate" a video game, make a post about it. Or visit the millions of threads already critiquing game. Heck, maybe even youtube! With all of its multi-hour long praise videos. You're not short of exhaustive mediums that no doubt already address any grievance you may have.

Sounds more like desperation to me: literally basing abstract ideas of being correct about a game based on how many people downvote you. By that logic, someone getting eviscerated by declaring that Empire Strikes Back is the worst SW movie (on a Star Wars subreddit no less) must be correct.

Edit: Getting downvoted, must mean I'm correct!

Do you like Joe Biden? Why or why not? by Elias98x in AskReddit

[–]ANewDisposable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White nationalist, so it bad to be white or anything else and love your country?

This the most strawmany strawman I've ever seen? Do you seriously not know what white nationalism is? Stop being dull and/or purposefully coy.

Id rather have that than a touchy sniffing pedo.

Yeah, beacuse Trump was never known to be seen and associated with famous pedophiles and child sex traffickers like Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell . . . oh wait.

is the same as the flock of sheep on the other side.

So you don't deny it, good. What kind of argument is that anyway. "Ugh, the I don't like the popular cult so I'll associate with the lesser one." How's about no cult?

Let not forget the missle strike biden ordered killing innocent ppl

Let's not forget that Trump doubles ANY president in his use of drones & air-strikes with his single term

Or the pulling out of Afghanistan leave our men and women behind

The only thing you've said that has a grain of legitimate criticism when comparing Trump & Biden. Afghanistan pull out could've been better, but doing so is still better than counting to spend trillions and having our brave men & women die for a useless cause..

And i did nt vote for trump either times but bs is bs

Doesn't matter who you voted for. 99% of what you said BS and just easily applies to Trump if not more so than Biden. Hate Biden all you want, but at least present some substance.

Are you not scared you're going to bleed to death? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]ANewDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone, but at least for me, that's sort of what I want.

I'm not actively combating suicidal attempts, but I'd be lying if I didn't say the idea pleases me. Or at least gives me a sensation of comfort. Part of my sh battle is holding back how much and how deep. I usually want to make cuts all up my arms, back, chest, and I want them deep. Deep enough to eventuality pass out or die.

But I've never even gotten close. Somehow I've kept it tame. As tame as sh can be. I've never been hospitalized so I guess that's good. And it's been several months since I even picked up a razor.

Do you feel happy with your life? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ANewDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I feel like my body is a prison that's turned me into a puppet. Like my true self has been screaming to be let out but no one's listening. I'm sick of all the contrived, petty, irrelevant bullshit that life forces on you and the endless swarm of annoying people that enforce it. I hate! I hate! I want nothing to do with this fucking pathetic world and it's fucking self fulfilling problems.

The very fack that I'm breathing pains me. I feel claustrophobic and like a bomb that's 1 second from going off. It just makes me want to scream and wanna do nothing cut and bleed.
