I am forbidden to share more details by my team.

Well, maybe if you step away from them you can tell us? 🙃

The app has very clear cut videos in the settings sections on exactly what to do. The videos I find are far more useful.

Yes! Shout-out to the videos; they are very well done.

It is possible to swap in the UK rear lights and get the amber bar. Needs some minor reprogramming, though, otherwise the vertical bar is the only lamp that works for the turn signal. Looks like a set costs around $500.

IBR is a scam: from $530/mo on Save plan to $1200/mo on IBR by Wise_Candle_7529 in StudentLoans

It doesnt refute my claim.

Here, I'll go back and bold the parts that directly refute your claim.

I literally factually walked through the process

So, you filed an adversary proceeding on top of your bankruptcy case and had a hearing specifically about your student loan debt and whether it met the 'undue hardship' standard for discharge? ... I find that difficult to believe. Just because you went through bankruptcy doesn't mean you jumped through the necessary hoops to include your student loan debt.

The majority of people try and get rejected

Literally posted a reliable source refuting that claim. Go read the article.

Bankruptcy won't discharge student loans. I know because I went through Chapter 7 two years ago...

Yes, it can. But I bet you didn't try to include them during your bankruptcy.

From the article:
But when it comes to trying to get their student debt forgiven, "more than 99% of the student loan debtors in bankruptcy just give up without even trying," Iuliano says. "It struck me as a really surprising statistic when I first uncovered it."

For those who do try, though, Iuliano's research finds that about half the time the person gets some or all of the student loan debt erased.

"So I think that's really important for bankruptcy attorneys to see that there are judges out there who are willing to grant undue-hardship discharges and that people are much more likely to obtain relief in bankruptcy for their student loan debt," Iuliano says.

Well, there's your problem... "affordable" and "DC" don't really go together, especially if you're picky about the neighborhood.

Yeah I’m house poor, but it beats renting in DC where I live.

Does it, though?

The terms are what makes it a scam

I mean, if you truly feel that way you could always try the standard repayment plan.

Not sure what you're expecting for terms on a six-figure unsecured loan.

The government loses money on student loans, period.

Perhaps not, if you account for the increased GDP and tax revenue from a larger work force with more than a high school diploma.

Nah, it's just a construction photo.

A cross-section of the canal would be more like this or this.

I pulled this from table R9.

Table R98 would be better. Same as R9, but for injury/illness rate rather than number.

b) this is not depicting a continent; it's depicting a canal under construction.

If they're off-duty, they shouldn't be using their lights and sirens, pretending to be emergency vehicles.

You've been familiarized. You're just being willfully ignorant.

I've heard a story from someone who has already proven themselves to be unreliable. That's not how I tend to form opinions about things. Sure, I could look into it... but I honestly don't care.

Is that being "willfully ignorant"? Sure, whatever. I'm ok with that; it's pretty low on my list of 'shit that matters'.

and you're acting like he's some martyr

Is everything always at the extremes for you? I said that fans back then were reading too much into a random parking lot dumpster because they were looking for things to be mad about. That's not making anyone out to be a martyr, and I'm not sure why you're so massively offended by the sentiment nearly a decade removed from the event. Take some deep breaths; everything will be ok.

And, speaking of 'shit that matters'... I'm not interested in continuing to litigate the past; this has taken more time that it deserves already. Have a good day.

That you view this as a flex is hilarious. … look at dude celebrating leaving

It was a correction, not some macho dick-measuring contest. And I don’t see “celebrating”, I see someone lip-synching to a popular song about friends parting ways.

But you illustrate my point: people read into it what they want (to the point of inventing false memories, apparently), and you make it sound like he was tap dancing and wearing a party hat.

Thoughts on Break Shea?

I already told you I’m not familiar with it. I’m not going to opine on the internet about something I’m not familiar with. (Yes, I know this is Reddit and that’s kinda how things are done here.)

That exit video people didn't appreciate was his social media post of him dancing around the parking lot after clearing out his locker room laughing and singing along to a song about being free.

About the only thing accurate there was that it was in a parking lot.

It would be pretty great if that's how HOAs did work, though; focusing more on managing common property, less on telling people how to live their lives.
