Not true. The money they receive from loan repayments is factored into the national budget, so forgiving loans means that the government has less money for other programs.

It’s true that they’re not literally spending money here, but it’s the same end result.

Stable diffusion + Automatic1111 + custom models and LoRAs. Completely free, only takes an hour or so to set up, and is top of the line.

Well banning all types of cause nights seems to be like a decent way to shut down the negative discourse. But I really wish the league would take a tough stance and continue them.

The headline is correct though, because the US government gave Ford $9.2 Billion as part of a plan to combat china’s growth in EVs. How on earth could that be disingenuous?

I am just very weary of the idea that the government should use federal funds to bail out people who simply made poor decisions. Plenty of people get through college with a reasonable amount of debt, instead of some insane 6-figure total. Let me elaborate:

My girlfriend is a graduate student with a family poor enough to qualify her for the Pell grant, and yet she will have less than 50k in debt when she graduates! Better yet, she only took out so much in loans because she knows that she can expect to earn a 6-figure salary with her pharmacy degree. Her pharmacy school costs $40,000 a year, and yet she is able to pay most of that money up front by working 30-hour weeks during the school year, and 50-hour weeks during the summer). It's tough on her, but she has an incredibly bright future ahead because of the hard work.

If you look at the demographics, the poorest people in our society - those who are food insecure and/or homeless, have a median of 0 DOLLARS of student loan debt. That's because many of them were too poor to even consider college in the first place! Those with 6-figure debt are often members of the middle class who didn't come up with a reasonable plan for paying what they owe based on their credentials, and didn't take measures to reduce their loans during college. Instead of using federal funds on those people, I want it to go to someone who is truly in need.

$10,000 would actually eliminate debt for a lot of borrowers! IMO if $10,000 is a “drop in the bucket” you have a personal problem, not a political one.

My girlfriend is a Pell grant recipient so she would get $20,000, and that wipes out more than half her pharmacy school debt

New religions and culture, as well as clothing, units, characters and art. There are also some region-specific events that can pop up.

It does suffer from the same problem as all of ck3, which is that it isn’t different enough from Europe.

Cool idea! I do feel that a drug like this could exacerbate the risk of autoimmune diseases, though

I used Apollo since it’s inception, and Alien Blue before that. Now I’ve deleted all Reddit apps and exclusively use kbin, for the last week or so.

"delayed reporting"

growth is still great though, proud of this community

Asia Expansion Project!

Sounds like a MAJOR walk-back of the policy that was just communicated over on /r/modsupport. They're still gonna do it if the blackout goes long enough, though.

please... god... do not keep calling us keebinetters
