I feel this too. I literally didn’t go to college because I was so concerned about my ability to pay back these loans. I credit my parents for instilling that generational“fear of money” that comes with their rural upbringing.

17/18 year olds making these decisions also often haven’t been given adequate financial knowledge to know if they’re making the wrong decision.

Um, can’t you just print your online statement and then scan it into a pdf document, or better yet, print to pdf? I’ll admit that seems pretty convoluted, but it isn’t hard or anything.

The biggest problem with student debt forgiveness, in my opinion, is it does absolutely nothing to address the cost of higher education and what caused this in the first place.

I’m not even convinced these are real people. Seriously, who even asks if people who spit outside also spit indoors? Literally no one does that.

You’re being ridiculous. Making mountains out of molehills. I’m not trying to justify anything. I’m just telling you the reality of the situation.

lol are you serious? That’s not how these things spread. If you’re going to catch anything, you’re going to catch it from the air or a surface someone else has touched. You aren’t going to track fucking AIDS home because you stepped in someone’s saliva. Give me a break.

To be fair, he is making a rebuttal to a stupid article

In addition to seeing people spit on the sidewalk in real time, I avoid fresh spit on the sidewalk as I walk from my apt to car/car to apt/car to office/office to car.

Fun fact: Post nasal drip from allergens (VOG is usually what does it for me) puts so much phlegm into my stomach I’ve woken up to specifically vomit it out. I’ve had sizable globs come out in the morning too >.>

Enjoy your meal ;)

The question is if you lick toilet bowls, not if you have an urge to have a BM.

This has got to be the silliest rant ever. No one is getting Covid from spit on the ground and if you do, you’ve got other issues which are much grosser than spitting. You’re obviously not someone who exercises outside much because as you can see from other commenters, it’s pretty much a necessity during exercise at…

I’m sorry, if you’re licking the ground, which apparently you are if you’re worried about people spitting on it (if only that), there are far worse things than covid to worry about.

You carry a toilet around with you?

Comparing spitting indoors on the floor to spitting outdoors is the pinnacle of ignorance. Indoors, one would have immediate access to a trashcan, sink, toilet, tissues, etc. It’s amazing that this needs to be explained to you. Also, you keep saying spit into a tissue. I’d love to see you carry around a tissue in your…

Dog shit on the sidewalk, whether or not it’s picked up, is at least as big a health issue.

Mmmm nothing is better than swallowing a big slimey plug of mucus

Ah yes, life’s big question going back through history...

Just do what anyone does on a college or university campus when someone beside you suddenly becomes violently ill into a flowerbed or the lawn.....

Well, all of this is because there are no spittoons!
