The Supreme Court strikes down Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan, blocking debt relief for millions of borrowers

Reply in thread

Boomers always say this shit, but Boomers could pay for school on a credit card. Their tuition was an 1/8th of what we pay, maybe less. My parents all went to school without even needing to take out a loan because school was so affordable

Boomers paying off a few thousand in debt to go to school is not the same as today's students who owe tens to hundreds of thousands in debt just to get an education.

Boomers who claim that because they paid off their measly loans then everyone else should have to are self-righteous pricks.

All this to say: fuck off boomer, your handout on a silver platter of a life shouldnt get to make decisions about ours

Ron Desantis for President 2024 - Exploding Heads

Ron DeSantis sucks. For being a member of the party of small government this fucker is an absolute control-freak that constantly uses his governmental authority to control people's lives and businesses.

Why would anyone, especially conservatives, agree to vote for this guy and consolidate all power to him and his yes-men?

What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit?

Reply in thread

Wow that really puts things into perspective, like wtf are they actually doing with that many employees?

Reddit to me IS Sync. It's the only way I could use the site. Without Sync reddit is dead to me.

70 android developers on an objectively worse app. Wtf? I'm so confused

Anyways thanks for Sync, masterclass in app design

AITA for expectinf my partner to spend time with me instead of playing DND?

I don't think anyone is the asshole here. Hobbies are important to have, however it looks like you guys have an extremely packed schedule.

If you've never spoken to him calmly about your concerns before would be a good time. Come to a compromise. Instead of DnD two times a week, how about once a week?

Did the same thing with my wife, I play Thursdays from 9PM to midnight. She goes to bed by 9 usually so that works perfect and the rest of the week we can use our downtime to be together

Difference between kbin and lemmy

I'll admit I can't wrap my head around how many of this works.

I like kbin and the default content it provides for the most part... But I want to branch out a bit.

I know there's a formula 1 community I want to join on lemmy, do I need to sign up for Lemmy now? And do I need to sign up for multiple "instances" whatever those are?

I'm pretty tech savvy but the fediverse makes me feel stupid, i have to assume this could be a barrier to entry for some

Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

The sad reality is that during the reddit blackout, people were pushing lemmy (specifically Beehaw) as the reddit replacement because yay decentralized, federated, fun!

For a lot of those reddit refugees the effort they put into making content and trying to make Beehaw their home is gone now.

They're not going to want to start all over at a new instance and rebuild yet again.

They're just going to go back to reddit
