  1. DOE did a beta launch of the application webpage, so you can fill it out now before it formally goes live: https://studentaid.gov/debt-relief/application
  2. Here is the guy who wrote the op-ed in "the epoch times" (and who apparently doesn't know how to count) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_von_Spakovsky Here is an excerpt from a grown-up source from back in May: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/19/us/2020-census-miscount-states.html
  3. hi
  4. The Commission is about to take a public vote to subpoena Trump. Pre-vote, Liz Cheney just walked through everyone who had spoken to Trump directly in connection with Jan 6/election denials and either invoked the fifth or refused to testify.
  5. you know those memes about the seasons that insert all sorts of like "false spring, second winter, third summer, etc." in between the main four? cornhole virus is like that, except with symptoms. spin the wheel, let's find out what the current symptom will be!

    I had to look it up cuz you're throwing me for a loop https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Animals_in_the_Pokémon_world most of the references to "real" animals were earlier in the franchise (like the OG anime run) and "Also according to Shudō, real animals went extinct in the Pokémon world years ago and no longer exist. He claimed that instances of real-world animals appearing in earlier episodes of the anime were due to the animation staff not paying enough attention."

    the series is inconsistent, like I think the original generation treated a lot of them like animals that would eat each other and stuff, and then everything got anthropomorphized. like the reason you couldn't catch a farfetch'd in the wild and had to find the one NPC who would trade it was because it was eaten to near-extinction. I think gen 5 or one of the later gens (or both) tried to do a tonal reset on that kind of stuff, but unless you show a predator pokemon eating the carcass of a prey Pokemon, the anthropomorphizing will always win out.

  12. I tested positive this morning so I know all those negatives from before weren't from misapplication
  13. Half the Twitter posts I saw about this also mentioned it being Putin's birthday.
  14. We both had real bad headaches the day after the shot, but she's genuinely sick as of last night. Coughing, scratchy throat, muted taste, super low energy. She had donated blood yesterday and after testing positive had to call them to "rescind" the donation.
  15. gf has covid, I tested negative but me and babby are sitting ducks we both got booster shots sun (her)/mon(me), so it's way too soon for them to have any benefit
  16. I split this off the elections thread because it seemed worth discussing on its own, but I think the reality is that this came out of nowhere a month before the election. Was just talking to a friend of mine who does ground level campaign stuff and he suggested it means the Dems officially gave up on the House and are willing to abandon moderates to the GOP's crime narrative in exchange for motivating minority turnout (given all the unjust abuses of marijuana laws) to save Warnock and push Barnes over the edge in the Senate. Not sure that I'd go along with his narrative, but it's certainly an election play more than a massive policy shift. Though this might be the first time Biden came out in favor of anything like this.
  17. Don't light it up just yet. The announcement I just read was that he will do it, not that he already has. One hangup though is that he can only pardon for federal possession. So anyone charged under a state penal statute is still stuck with it unless that state also chooses to pardon/expunge. Edit: I probably should have just gone to the source instead of reading Politico: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/10/06/granting-pardon-for-the-offense-of-simple-possession-of-marijuana/
