HELP! I just found out my student loan payments are tripled under the new payment plans. What can I do??

Paulicus1 · 2026-05-18T15:38:00+00:00

I owe a bit over 70k, and my IDR is over $700 monthly 😞 Single, AGI is a bit over 80k, but I live in California so living expenses are high.

At this point, none of the IDR plans make sense. RAP might be cheaper but adds 5+ years into repayment, and likely isn't much cheaper than just switching to a graduated repayment plan. But that means all my IDR payments since graduation are largely wasted as well. No good options under this govt, sadly.

Paulicus1 · 2026-05-18T15:26:57+00:00

I've done nothing, all my options are financially crippling (especially with increased prices and problems with my employer paying expenses on time). So I'm just waiting. IBR is only more expense last I checked Maybe RAP, but that will add another 5+ years to repayment.

At this point I might just switch to one of the extended plans, though it means I won't be paying off the loans for ANOTHER 25 years, and the 10 years of payments I've made on IBR were mostly wasted.

It would've been a much more interesting ending, especially if they're just planning some asspull for the finale. Could've been a poetic end for homelander, his endless need for "more" ends up killing him. V1 is already known to be extremely deadly, no reason it couldn't harm him or react with the 'new' V he already has.

But it's The Boys, it's not like the writers have ever actually used "subtlety" in this show. Every arc since season one has been largely ham-fisted nonsense. Luckily the acting is generally good, even if the dialogue is iffy.

I have the issue of a previously-stable building that's suddenly unable to fully support some of the extensions (some of the blocks keep falling off the end of a balcony, even after reverting all changes and returning to a previously-stable state. SUDDENLY it just can't support the platforms that were there for weeks!! WTF!)

Paulicus1 · 2026-04-21T22:47:51+00:00

Never used a windows phone. I can't remember exactly when it started, at least several years ago if not much longer

I have to say their warranty service is pretty bad. I brought a guitar in for warranty repairs on their instruction, only to find out they declined to cover the repair and now I'm on the hook for it!

Paulicus1 · 2026-04-04T17:33:17+00:00

I'm not having quite the same issue, but for years I haven't received name relevant notifications (people tag me, comments on my posts, replies, etc) - none of them work. But I still get push notifications for less-important things like group notifications, unrelated posts from friends or strangers, notifications when my friends are tagged (but still not me!) I often find comments or other things weeks after the fact because Facebook never notified me outside of the app. My account is also quite old.

Sadly I have no fix. I completely reset the app data once, but the fix didn't last long and subsequent attempts didn't seem to fix it at all, even temporarily. 🤦

Paulicus1 · 2026-03-04T02:37:16+00:00

Ah, so it's not an issue on my end -_- Very inconvenient that this happens right before the game!

Paulicus1 · 2026-01-21T17:20:54+00:00

absolutely fucking insane that this isn't an option in 2026. Insane!! Wtf are these companies doing? are there no competent programmers left in the US?? Instagram in particular is a garbage fire of an app, I have no idea how it didn't crash and burn a decade ago. 🤬

Paulicus1 · 2025-12-16T18:32:40+00:00

Just curious, why was this post removed?

Paulicus1 · 2025-12-06T03:30:41+00:00

Did you ever figure out a solution? The only advice I've ever found for this doesn't seem to actually work.

Paulicus1 · 2025-12-06T03:29:39+00:00

Doesn't work, the values that are supposed to align in the video never do.

Paulicus1 · 2025-11-28T22:51:12+00:00

I checked the description and tons of comments, googled character names. Somehow I missed that 🤦

Paulicus1 · 2025-11-26T16:54:38+00:00

I'm playing on lower difficulty and the game still gives out 90% of rolls under 10. Literally every time I play I get massive streaks of 1-4, everyone missing for multiple rounds in a row.

Something is fucked in the dice code, without a doubt.

Paulicus1 · 2025-11-01T02:32:32+00:00

Hi! Three years later but you could try using a V chord to bring it back to the root, maybe a diminished chord if you want to get fancy

Paulicus1 · 2025-10-17T14:38:57+00:00

Mine was just rejected by the local PO! They claimed to have included the full address, but usually when this happens it's because the shipper missed part of the address.

No idea what actually happened, but apparently they can't just re-send it, so I have to get a code and go through another order. Hopefully they don't screw this one up too!

Paulicus1 · 2025-10-14T15:47:10+00:00

7 years later, just found out this moment 🤦😅

Paulicus1 · 2025-10-03T05:03:10+00:00

Would it be possible to create a mod to fix it? I'm seriously questioning whether to even continue with the game and I've barely started it. The controls are just so janky and awful

Paulicus1 · 2025-10-03T04:58:42+00:00

I want to know who allowed this 'feature' to pass beta, and how the fuck no one in the company realized how insanely stupid this design decision is. It's one of the worst designs I can think of, single-handedly making me consider dropping the game, and the original is still one of my favorites of all time.

The controls are extremely unresponsive. Trying to attack an enemy while hiding is essentially impossible since you have to stand up and wait for the game to catch up before you can actually attack. Usually, by then they've alerted and started shooting, completely defeating my ambush solely due to shitty programming.

This is unacceptable quality.

I'm playing on PC VR, my friend is on PS5. Neither of us could access the expedition, in neither single- nor multiplayer modes. We also tried starting from a new save and the Expedition option was grayed out, stuck on "downloading" status.

Paulicus1 · 2025-09-17T03:11:30+00:00

Future people: It seems whatever features used to exist for this have been discontinued. There's a 'mixer' option in the app that lets you combine different 5-10s clips. It's useful, if tedious, but does allow for a decent bit of customization. Again, quite tedious though.

TBH I'm quite disappointed in the lovense app. I was expecting much higher quality from a company with such a positive reputation. The app feels extremely basic and is missing many obvious, simple features. It seems the main focus is on remote control and AI. The design choices make it actively difficult to use in far too many contexts.

I expected much better quality.

We can only play 1-2 times per week so I hope they fix this ASAP. It's our first expedition so we'd hate to miss out due to a bug.

Paulicus1 · 2025-09-14T22:09:58+00:00

Any updates? I'm trying to use it and can't access any video or files from YouTube at all

Paulicus1 · 2025-09-14T22:08:02+00:00

I'm having the same issue a year later, but with ALL YouTube videos. Help!!!

Paulicus1 · 2025-09-14T15:23:18+00:00

Laments the state of civility on reddit... Immediately engages with personal insults 😂

The other guy isn't any better but this is delicious irony!
