Do these services not offer a more expensive ad-free plan?

Eh, I'm not particularly against loan forgiveness, and I already paid back my own student loans. It's just, you know, forgiveness.

That being said, it's criminally easy to get a student loan, and the vast majority of people who got one should have never qualified in the first place. Banks and the government are giving unsecured loans to 18 year olds practically independent of any proven or projected ability to pay them off.

With PPP in particular, the loans were given out with similar levels of recklessness, and so I would argue the forgiveness rate should be the same. I believe it was wrong to forgive those loans in the first place, but now that we're here it would at least be consistent to forgive current student debt. However, I would like to see it paired with extreme limits on the cost of college to the student so that we can't end up in another unsecured debt crisis.

I mean, the PPP folks should also pay back their loans? Although I think when those loans were given out it was stated that they had a possibility of becoming discharged. Still, pay back your loans.

I never understand whataboutism because usually the answer is just the same in both situations. I guess folks are just used to arguing with ideologically inconsistent people?

What..... What do you think a loan fundamentally is?

There is absolutely no way in hell a bullet-proof cape is billowing in the wind.

You lock em up and just leave them there. Current estimates put the faction of innocent death row inmates at about 2%. That's completely unacceptable. Is killing a bad person out of revenge worth innocent lives when you can just lock them up for life instead?

For most of human history we didn't have the option of keeping someone imprisoned for life, so killing evil people was really the only permanent solution. It's understandable that that desire would be engrained in us. But if we don't have to kill them, shouldn't we avoid doing so so that we don't get innocent people killed?

Start installing malware on their machines that reminds them to call every once in a while.

I did NTFS because both windows and Linux can read it. Do I know literally any other fact about formatting systems? Nope. I'm pretty sure I don't need to, I'm normie-adjacent. I just want my system to work so I can use the internet, play games, and do word processing.

I mean, I care.

As if I needed another reason not to ever use Windows 11.

He also has just straight-up admitted to other big crimes on camera as well.

Why in the hell do those programs take up so much space?
