I think any time anyone mentions jan 6, you need to say every word of my and pooh's post together "a mob violently storming the seat of power of the federal government of the united states of america with the sole purpose of overthrowing our democracy" you have to say every single one of those words every time if people continue to reject the premise, we'll at least bore them to death having to sit through it every time

that is objectively false

he's parroting the whataboutism that BLM riots were as bad or worse than a mob violently storming the seat of power of the federal government of the united states of america

joe biden's real last shot is preemptive pardons https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/20/statement-from-president-joe-biden-15/

why didn't he fix it the first time, last I checked he made it worse

maintenance hasn't happened yet, still trying to isolate the cause of the problem

I can guarantee with near certainty that it's either eastern or pacific time

happy birthday @malon_loves_link

Ok that didnt take long, got the error with the default skin so it's not the uemb skin. I think we need to run a software update.

lol the default skin predates the last update and doesn't have the drop-down to check notifications

I'm going to willingly blind myself by reverting the site skin to the default to see if it stops. Anyone else willing can join me in this already-painful test.

Yeah it just happened to me on mobile. It's getting pretty frequent.

unfortunate that as a legal matter his opinion is completely meaningless to the amendment process though this could have been relevant to the pressure campaign if he came out a year or two ago

lmao it happened when that post reloaded the page

helpful, because i'm on chrome/laptop so it's not a specific browser thing

@discolé monade and @Doom Metal Alchemist what browsers do you use?

I will let KN know when I get home, I actually got an error too. It could be something related to the skin, but weird that it started now instead of a year ago.

Happy birthday @Mewn!

Which forgiveness? SAVE? The answer to that is no one because Repubs sued to block it. To rgamer's point, one of the major stakeholder groups in debt hell actually is people who never finished their degrees.

I saw somewhere that the millennials were the only generation to vote more Dem in 2024 than four years prior, though I'd have to source that.

The public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) program wipes your loans, tax free, after making 120 consecutive on-time payments (10 years) while working in qualified public sector roles. In theory it's the most cost-efficient route, as a means to encourage people to start their careers in lower-paying yet still necessary public sector jobs. A significant portion of the Biden admin's forgiveness was for PSLF loans that the previous Trump admin deliberately tied up to prevent borrowers from ever hitting that ten year mark. Either slow walking the forgiveness or forcing the clock to restart due to technicalities, etc. If I recall correctly, the Republicans who sued over the blanket forgiveness programs made the argument that it devalued PSLF, while at the same time Republicans want to kill that path outright.
