Place to put my Nonsense Thread.

Yup I grew up poor and had to use fans creatively. Had an apartment with central air in college and it was life changing. I hate being warm.
If you had central air in an apt in college, id say we grew up a different kinda poor. Unless you went the student loan route, which may have been the ticket, if the libs are serious about not making ppl pay it back.
 
We are staying the night at my sisters apartment in Chicago and I have a fan blowing straight at me to try and maintain some level of comfort. Can’t even use a blanket. I like setting my central air cold enough to where when I go to bed I need to cover up with the comforter.
Renter here w/central air, landlord just replaced it not long ago, whew ,but anyway, we packed a fan. I slept this exact same way. Wife brings her thunderstorms, I bring a fan.

Right on my face all night.

I took student loans out for everything. Even to go to Panama City for spring break. My motto was that I’d rather pay for a $1,000 trip to Florida while I’m making $50 than when I’m making $8 an hour.

Just read an article on yahoo. Apparently jussie smollet is still awaiting trial to be declared absolutely guilty of fabricating a hate crime. I don’t know what’s more absurd...the fact that he hasn’t been thrown in jail yet or the fact that this pillow biting poof actually chose the name jussie instead of his birth name Justin. I wonder how it’s actually pronounced. Juicy or jussy

If you guys had to pick one for the rest of your life, do you pick AC or heat? I think I could live more comfortably in the winter without heat than I could in the summer without AC.

That’s tough. Are we allowed to use a fireplace? KS winters are ****ing 60 one day and -20 the next.

Summers here are a bitch. Couldn't sleep w/out AC. You can always put on more layers/blankets.

Gets too cold here in the winter to not have heat. So heat by necessity and enjoying not dying.


But I can’t imagine many people like A/C up here more than I do.
 
I hate being cold. But as far as survival goes, I guess I would have to go with AC based on where I live. It doesn't get terribly cold here but every few years. And without AC it got up to 103 inside the house after the hurricane. We went outside to cool off.
 
It’s amazing how strict Chicago’s mask rules still are. I haven’t had to wear a mask in a Wisconsin store in like a month.

Kinda my logic as well. Winters without heat would be really uncomfortable but manageable. But I’m not sure my dog and I would survive the days of July and August without AC lol

In upstate NY you’d have to pick heat or die.

Not me i thibk thats the stupidest thing coming out of the left. You get a loan you pay it back.......duhh. Just another sign of society wanting shit for free smh.

granted if i had a bunch of student lon debt, id be right there with you. Jealousy mainly, knowing i coulda been living like a king in college then potentially not having to pay back the money which would have been spent on nothing but bills/drugs/and alcohol like the little money i did have lol.

I dont even see how its legal to tell the loan companies, oh yea now all these people who owe you money dont owe you anymore. Seems like a disastrous business plan.
 
It half ass makes me want to enroll in some classes, get a fat ass student loan, then drop out and hope they dont make me pay the money back. As crazy as that seems.
 
I cant sleep if im hot, so its AC for me.

turn my damn stove on in the winter if it comes to it. Plus electric blankets are the truth.

It’s usually federal loans they’re taking about. It’s the government’s money, the banks are just the administrators, more or less.

The crux of the issue is the price gouging by the universities. Paying your way through college in the 70’s and 80’s was feasible. Nowadays, that’s very hard to do or impossible. So we tell 17 year olds they need to go to college, then make the ‘financial aid’ process as convoluted as possible and saddle them with enormous debt to start their careers. It’s pretty bass ackwards.

I can afford my loan payments and was fortunate to land some good jobs, so loan relief doesn’t mean a ton to me, but something would be nice. I’d settle for a lower interest rate.

Nothing is stopping them from joining the military and getting Uncle Sam to pay for their college.

Your absolutely right, the whole system is a cash grabbing con. Bc id never had one i wasnt aware of federal loans. I though the govt gave grants like pell grants etc and loans were through the private sector. Learn something new every day.

And this is the very reason “free college” isn’t even remotely a feasible idea. Same with free healthcare. Education and medical reform are the real issues. We cannot allow schools and hospitals to continue to charge these fees.

But socialized health care is amazing!!! Signed, Canada. 😆
 
Aren’t there caps on how much they’ll cover? I’m thinking back to a conversation I had with a kid in college a decade ago, so I could easily be mistaken.
It pays all tuition and fees at the in-state rate for public schools up to $25K a year which is more than enough to attend any public school in America, along with a monthly housing/books/supplies stipend.

Are they going to pay for you to go to an Ivy League school? No, that would be ridiculous.
 
I mean historians rank him in the top 10. Not exactly sure why you think it’s funny.
Bc he was awful. Those historians that presented said rankings, need their titles revoked.

Looking through rankings, a lot of head scratchers tbh.
