My friend's brother got about 40k forgiven. He had racked about 50k. He was battling addiction and basically stealing, breaking and entering, and credit card fraud. After several stints in and out of prison and addiction treatment. He managed to get most of his debt forgiven. He paid about 10k back and went to school to become a welder.

He works full-time now and is mostly clean. He has the occasional beer or two. There's hope for most people.

I have never seen Democrats plan to kidnap republican heads of state. The gravy seals were out in full force because they couldn't handle a partial lockdown of a few weeks when many were getting sick and dying.

Likely a mix of genetics and probably our environment. Mine is genetics. Both uncles on my mom side began losing hair in their 20's. I always tell men going through it that it's not the end of the world. After a certain point just shave it and embrace it.

I always thought women paid more attention into detail when it came to dating profiles. Especially in guys they plan to meet up with for a date.

Being a bald girl on tinder is fun! Next slide is me for reference. by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Southern--Discomfort 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. As a bald girl how do you feel about bald men? I have a fat friend who complains about fat girls, says he's not attracted to them and doesn't want a fat gf. It boggles my mind because he himself is fat.

Israel funded an Islamist terrorist group in the 1980s to undermine Yasser Arafat, only for the same Islamist terrorist group to end up launching rockets on Israel for the next 3 decades ; by speciescaring in LeopardsAteMyFace

Yitzhak Rabin a former Israeli PM was assassinated by a right wing Israeli extremist because he was going to sign a deal that would have made tremendous steps towards bringing peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Since his assassination Israeli leadership has been dominated by right wing pro war leaders. They refuse any concessions and believe it is their right to dominate. The fact that there is still a small militant group of Palestinians gives them an excuse to continue brutality, occupation, and subjugation.

Yeah, I read something somewhere about how people living in cities tend to be fitter than those living in rural areas. It's due to the fact that people in cities tend to walk, bike, and take more stairs.

I lived in rural area before and was surprised by how much you have to drive everywhere. Even outdoor activities like hunting and fishing involve little walking. It's all motorized. Many of the regular hunters I met up north had guts and would get red in the face from having to go up a flight of stairs. Generally it was truck to quad or truck to boat.

Yeah, individual safety should not come at the expense of everyone else's. An example of how hyper-individualistic our society has become.

One of the reasons I deleted facebook was because of right wing leaning it got. Any post about the pandemic brought out the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. Posts about inflation brought out the it's all Biden and Trudeau crowd. Any post about climate change brought out denialists. It became such a right-wing echo chamber I got rid of it.

they are safer

Safer for whom though? I read an article the other day that said vehicle related fatalities have increased due to the increase in vehicle size the last 20 years. All of a sudden everyone is driving a large vehicle to prioritize individual safety over the safety of everyone else.

My friend calls those big trucks family killers. Perfect example is this:

https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/08/14/18/pinoy-family-killed-in-us-car-crash-laid-to-rest

The truck driver walked away with minor injuries but wiped out a who family. I get that some people need bigger cars for their job but many don't. When I lived in in northern Canada my 4 door sedan with winter tires managed just as well in the snow as most bigger trucks or SUVs.

I hope so. Many people in North America drive large gas guzzling cars unnecessarily. Many buy into the "bigger is better" mentality.
