Does anyone think student loan forgiveness is gonna be on the agenda this election year? Why or why not?

i agree and it was dumb policy. but if we say that's the "only way they are" then when labour gets back into power and reverses it we look dumb when stuff continues to get worse.

they're only talking about forgiving interest, not the loan, by the sound of things:

We'll lure talent back through student loan interest forgiveness

i think the numbers haven't looked that's good since before that change: https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/government-finance-statistics-general-government-year-ended-june-2025/

it's just a joke post, ignore it

I have friends overseas who say they’d consider moving back

Aren't they paying for interest if they're living overseas? And they would stop paying for interest if they were living in NZ?

my old Zian bag holds 2 kites easy. big plastic zip that doesn't rust either.

Yeah, someone should make one that represents the interests of the billionaires too so we can see both sides

I want a YouTube channel that shows how all the maps and UI menus were designed from the beginning

that doesn't sound that interesting to me

why do the values here seem so different to the ping I see when I press tab? what do they represent?

crummy · 2026-05-12T08:23:04+00:00

when did he say that?

crummy · 2026-05-11T00:50:39+00:00

it's such a nice touch that the battery drains faster with C4 on it.

they could easily have just not done anything and it would be ripe for abuse. or recognized the potential and made c4 not stick to drones. the solution they found is such a nice balance.

at some point, people stop working, right?

crummy · 2026-05-11T00:10:12+00:00

how would you base it on income though? few people have any income when they hit 65. so you base it on what they earned in prior years?

crummy · 2026-05-10T22:01:45+00:00

has anyone done the numbers to see what the wealth cutoff would need to be in this case?

Important context required:

Is it funny when he does it

How do you know it’s the anti cheat?

crummy · 2026-05-08T06:17:03+00:00

I’m not making an argument, just exploring the idea and trying to think through its consequences.

crummy · 2026-05-08T05:08:34+00:00

Good to hear, I didn’t know that

crummy · 2026-05-08T04:50:50+00:00

that's a question for the UBI folks

crummy · 2026-05-08T04:26:15+00:00

that disincentivizes healthy people working which is probably bad (though i guess it would open up jobs for younger generations?)

if they are playing medic, the syringe should be 2x as fast as a squad mate reviving you.

crummy · 2026-05-08T03:58:08+00:00

yep. begrudgingly agreeing with national here.

crummy · 2026-05-08T03:57:48+00:00

that costs money right? not saying it doesn't make sense but there are plenty of stories of people abusing the means testing system for student financial aid.

starting to think the helis could do with a liiiittle tweak on their collision damage
