  • There won’t be a smaller decentralized internet. The internet isn’t the problem, it’s the services people choose to use and who owns them. There is just as much misinformation on Lemmy as any other network.

    1. 1976 – Congress first restricted bankruptcy discharge for federal student loans.
      • Loans couldn’t be discharged during the first 5 years of repayment unless the borrower could prove “undue hardship.”
      • Passed during President Gerald Ford’s term (Republican).
    2. 1990 – The waiting period was extended from 5 years to 7 years.
      • Signed by President George H. W. Bush (Republican).
    3. 1998 – The 7-year rule was removed entirely for federal loans, meaning they could only be discharged under “undue hardship” no matter how old the loan was.
      • Signed by President Bill Clinton (Democrat).
    4. 2005 – Private student loans were also made non-dischargeable in most cases (same “undue hardship” rule).
      • Part of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, signed by President George W. Bush (Republican).

    Sounds like “all of them”

  • You’re a man and middle class. You live in Chicago. You work for a big company. You have a car. The only thing in question is your race and sexuality. Rolling the dice on sexuality being heterosexual. So you’re not white? I could scroll more and find out, but just admin it’s all true.

    And if you were a heterosexual middle class white male, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend why I want them not part of my country.

  • Getting enough people to agree on anything, especially if it requires moving, and double especially if it will cause any amount of anxiety… is basically impossible.

    We could fix the entire world if everyone just agreed to do a few things and stick to it.
