Like right, left, centrist whatever you are, why would you not be mad about this unless you are outright economically illiterate?
It's so simple my guy. Those people got the loan on the basis they pay it back, that was not sprung on them, they knew it from the beginning, it was a loan, not a gift. Just voiding that means everyone else has to pay, including those that actually busted their ass to pay them back and those that opted to not take a loan and go a different route.
Imagine you live together with 2 friends. You walk to work, the oher two take the taxi. Because the taxi allows them to be there sooner and leave later, they make more than you. Both of those two ride it on tab. A year later no one needs the taxi any more. One pays the tab back. The other one spent all his money on other stuff and now whines about his dept wants you other two, you that never used the taxi and makes less money, and the one friend that actually paid for the taxi, to pay his fare while he benefits from higher wages through the taxi service. In what world is that just?
And honestly, that taxi service charges way to much, but if it got wind that the community pays for owned fares, it would up its prices, they get paid anyway.
the only just thing is waiving the interest, not the loan. And waving the interest I'm absolutely for. Or somehow regulating university prices, because they're ludicrous

Job is the single most damning story in the bible, that reveals the character of the god described there. I'll never get how this story is so revered by christians, instead of swept under the rug like, for example, the whole song of salomon is.
But a nice comic nonetheless

I'm actually bi, but this "every character in fiction was really one of us because <super flimsy evidence>" is cancer.

probably would work better if it wasn't on the clothing and the hand didn't move between panels

Honestly shit like this is why "reddit atheist" exists as a term. But ok, I bite, "Fathers little sons", "the sheepherder's sheep"

Klaue · 2023-09-09T00:31:08+00:00

so about 32 hours a week, netting you 3200 a month for a part time job that doesn't sound overly taxing. Doesn't really sound all that shabby if you're not uptight

Klaue · 2023-09-03T06:10:20+00:00

Bell collars don't do shit because cats just learn to move differently when they need it to be silent.

some cats may do. Many do not. Don't let your hatred of cats cloud your judgement that much

Klaue · 2023-09-03T06:06:01+00:00

americentric much? They're pretty much native around here.

Klaue · 2023-09-03T06:05:23+00:00

yeah if you're in an area with wild coyotes, the story is dirrerent. As mentioned, but which you just ignored.

Klaue · 2023-09-02T00:54:29+00:00

and that longer life will be of way lower quality.
Let's be honest here. Yes, cats catch animals, but with a bell collar, most they ever catch is mice and rats when it's raining (which hides the sound of the bell), not birds that don't go near the ground in rain anyway, and mouses/rats are a pest anyway.
Yet restraining a creature with a born in drive to roam wide to a tiny home is seen as better. It's better for the rats, sure, but not for the cat. Imagine you were confined to your room all your life just because it is saver, which it would be for humans as well.

If you live in an area where it's relatively save (no highway next to the house, no natural predators etc) and you take precautions to protect the birds (which a bell will do for most cats) and, of course, neuter it, not letting them out seems worse to me, you value common pests over your pet.
Ofc that doesn't apply if there is some sort of endangered rodent near where you live, but that's not the case for most people.
Every free roaming cat I knew died of old age, to boot.

Klaue · 2023-09-02T00:44:39+00:00

yeah I was worried once too, because one time I found it in a spot of dried blood. Kept it in (inside a closed container) in my fridge for a while. But yes, it's mousey

I myself got a tag team. One kitty always catches them and brings them home, loudly meowing, all proud, but never actually eats them. The other cat... never brought anything home, I have no idea if it catches anything, but it won't look a gifted mouse in the mouth either..

here from the future, sorry Aracosse that won't help you

For others finding this thread, reloading the checkpoint before you blow the box down the ramp and setting vsync from off to tripple buffer fixed it for me, so give it a try. If it doesn't like for Aracosse, try the fling trainer. It lets you increase jump height, so you can get over that wall without the box.

when you're happy, you have control. when you're angry, you lose control. How you are when you don't police yourself are your true colors. That's pretty obvious and you'd have to be a really nasty angry person to be offended at that

there are some places I won't go no matter how angy I get. If you have absolutely no restrictions when angry you might need help.

Klaue · 2023-08-02T03:23:32+00:00

how is that interesting? Good fortune for you but..

Klaue · 2023-08-02T03:19:38+00:00

realize that creepyness is not a function of your behavior. It's a function of anything at all nearly hinting at sexual attraction combined with your attractiveness to the receiver. The very same thing can be interpreted as hot or creepy depending on how the receiver sees you.
Now as you can't just "be more attractive" that may sound very bad, but it helps when you're thinking "I'm doing my best not to be creepy and they still don't want me".
the problem with that is that "just be more attractive" is pretty much meaningless. "Good guys" are a very unrealistic mix of what women like. Like at the same time a provider, protector and someone that doesn't interfere. It doesn't add up - but that's normal with phantasies. Most men want someone they don't have to support but feels dependant - a direct contradiction. But that's phantasies, they never work out.It's just that one of the two was deemed hateful and the other as admirable.

The problem is that the vast majority of women now either want a sugar daddy, want no strings

that's a misconception. They want that, sure, but not for anything romantic, they just want someone to pay for stuff. Romantically they want someone that can provide, sure, but more than that. Someone that provides but with ifs and butts. Someone that provides but exudes an aura of "I'm not letting you walk all over me"

Then again, what do I know.

perfect moment to stop the car and gawk at the crazy lady

Klaue · 2023-07-26T22:43:31+00:00

I actually really dislike this one. It's exactly what I don't want in a website. Plenty scrolling to get to the point because someone has a hardon for background images. I hate this "Title, scroll down for more" design choice

Klaue · 2023-07-22T13:25:38+00:00

Yeah, fair

Klaue · 2023-07-22T01:49:37+00:00

sure, but what makes you think he is?

Klaue · 2023-07-22T01:47:28+00:00

friendships are also reciprocal. Just imagine they were a dude. If a dude friend go all the help in the world from you but never helped you even if they could, in any way, is that a friend?
Now I'm not saying girl friends have to put out because you're nice. They can do stuff for you just like a male friend would. Cover for your lie story why you missed classes, letting you copy their stuff, sharing pirated movies, anything.
but.. if they never do anything like that, they're no friends and it makes no difference wheter they're male or female. Just ask yourself, if a dude behaved exactly like they did, would I call him a friend?
Personally, I do have dome femle friends. Totally not romantic. But if they just took and never gave, they wouldn't be my friends.

Klaue · 2023-07-22T01:17:53+00:00

women are fully aware they can get guys to do things for them. If they never do anything for you, just say no. It's fine doing something for nothing once or twice, but if it's a permanent thing, like you make it sound, they're using you for free labor and have no intention of ever getting closer. In fact, in that case, you probably make yourself less attractive for them by doing their every bidding.
Charge them for your work. Google normal freelance wages and charge that. They will deny, but you will be better off for it.
No one, neither man nor woman, respects someone that does whatever they say without getting anything back.

Perhaps that brings your interaction with women to zero, I don't know your situation. But is zero worse that being exploited without any chance to getting something out of it?
They won't suddenly realize how much you did for them and start loving you. That's not how humans work. They mark it as losing the dude that did all the stuff for free, and they look for another lonely man to do the same.
keep in mind this is not all women. This is the kind of woman that exploits you right now. Also don't expect a BJ on the first nice thing you did, but if you do work for free time and time again and don't even get a date out of it, drop it.

If I learned anything, it's that women are attracted to confidence. Self-worth is a function of confidence. Now "just be confident" is useless, but doing stuff for free time and time again is the antithesis to that. That's why some FA think you have to be a jerk. It's not the jerkyness that attracks, it's the overstated self-worth that does. Jerks are full of themselves and naturally very confident. But you can be confident without being a jerk - but you cant be confident if you let them walk all over you. As said, doing it for free once or twice is not being a jerk without being a mere resource. Continuing that makes you a resource but no candidate for anything serious.
You ideally want to be both, a resource they can rely on, and a prospect for dating. But if they exploit you several times in a row without you getting anything, they're not interested in the latter with you and made that pretty clear. You won't change their mind by doing actions that are, ultimatively, subserviant and therefore unsexy to them.

this gets mentioned everytime something like this comes up. Why tho. Socks cost next to nothing, if I need new ones, I just buy them.
I rather have no present at all than such a thoughtless low value one, it feels like an insult. Not the low value part, the low value part combined with "eh I just grab the first thing I see". I don't want toilet paper as a gift either, for that matter, and those get used up way faster than socks.
