Topic10k reduced Student loans is a flipping joke

Even 1 dollar before forgiving medical debt is a joke, why student loans have moved ahead is beyond me

  1. Because the government is the reason that student loans got out of hand in the first place.
  2. Young voters are the one's with student loan debt, and those are the votes they want. Medical debt is a boomer and GenX issue. They don't want those votes.

I like manual labor if the end result is something I can enjoy, like when I build/repair something for my house or do yard work.

Otherwise, desk job is the preference, where I can use my problem solving skills.

No idea what that has to do with a soldier potentially snapping, or a deranged student with a death wish purposely choosing the school he knows already has extra firearms in it.

Do I know the solution? No. Do I think adding armed guards to schools will act like any sort of deterrent to someone already looking to do damage? Also no.

What I'm saying is no one is going to attack a school guarded by a combat veteran.

People are acting like some shooter is going to see himself as the bad guy in a stagy old western and challenge the top gun for the right to shoot up the school. If shooters were like that, they'd go after places that they knew were guarded. We'd be seeing headlines about people going into police stations and opening fire. That typically doesn't happen. They target places where they believe they can catch people off-guard and do what they will with little or no resistance.

That school is one of the safest in America.
Yes. Because people that are mass shooters are the most stable group, and will take that into account.

As opposed to just making sure thats the first guy the gun down before moving on to the rest of the innocent victims.

I know civilized people hate guns and want them to disappear, but armed security is practical in a violence-laden country.

America will have violence for decades to come. Being ready for violence makes more sense than wishing it away. We're at least 40 years away from repealing the 2nd amendment and we'll likely have mass shootings for years to come after that. People who have guns won't surrender them simply because they're told to.

Florida is dumpster fire of a state, but this is one that somebody got right.

Not really. But it helps to be aware that he was a pretty big piece of shit irl. Especially when I have older-gen relatives often trying to convince me that part of why American society is in the crapper is because we didn't grow up with heroes like John Wayne to idolize.

I think those older generations wanted a "hero" like what they THOUGHT John Wayne was, not what John Wayne actually was. Same way children idolize athletes that aren't really the greatest off the field/court.

How many 20-30 years olds consider Kobe Bryant a "hero"? The same Kobe Bryant that, although charges were eventually dropped, was still an admitted adulterer?

People always want the illusion of a hero, but rarely want to look into their heroes reality.

From what my roommate (former military) says, cops aren't even allowed at a lot of gun ranges because they do dangerous stuff from bad training habits as a result of being cops. And apparently they're also really bad shots which is why they usually just fire off most of the bullets they have loaded, because they can't even see if the target was hit and react if they're trying their best to just shoot as fast as possible.
I'm not one to "Back the Blue", but you're roommate is wrong.

Unless we're talking about privatized, small town police forces, general gun qualifications are exponentially tougher in the police force than they are in the military.

Mainly because 80% of the military doesn't even carry a weapon once they get past basic training. The amount of military jobs that have zero to do with actual combat dwarfs most civilians expectations.

I kinda feel this way as well.

I grew up in a house of 9 people (My parents, sister, Aunt/Uncle/2 cousins, Grandma). I left the house when I moved in with my eventual wife, so I've never fully had the experience of living alone. My wife's job used to have her travel for a week every 3 months, so I had SOME experience with living alone, but not really.

It's probably the correct era considering the current year. I think there's a solid case made though that grandad rock may be better.

As for Animal Collective the last concert I went to, the majority of people were well into their 30s so I'm thinking dad rock is appropriate.

I've heard younglings refer to Blink 182 as dad rock as well.

So, are there rock bands from the 90's that AREN'T "dad rock", or is it just any rock music from the era when current dads weren't dads?
