I wish directors, or showrunners, or whoever makes a decision that is widely received badly would own up to the fact instead of trying to make excuses for it. Say something like “In hindsight, this wasn’t our best idea. But its done now, its what we’ve got, and we’ll move forward and improve next time.” And sure…

Omg! My aunt had her WEDDING DRESS confiscated at the airport in the DR when she was flying to the US. The whole family still talks about it.

Well, of course. They had to be afraid if they waited too long to drop the show, the real 2016 would beat them to the title of craziest modern dystopia.

i’m excited for you to see it!!

Ask the English and they’ll tell you we(Americans) speak American. Ask anyone else and it’s English.

Why can’t they let him realize that Cersei is a terrible person.

but then you have a dog, 97% of which are pieces of shit. There is no win.

Because going to bed is a surrender to tomorrow’s insignificant step in the soul sucking cycle of work, relationship management, and basic need fulfillment. We watch an episode more of Netflix than we should to fool ourselves into believing we have control.

Yeah, whites have played blacks *in fucking minstrel shows*.

Ah, your comment makes it sound like you are criticizing the ratios given because you have no choice but to pay 50% of your income toward your debts.

The rental market is absurd. I’d probably move away if I didn’t own a house.

FYI if your loans are federal you can choose a plan where you pay 10% of your income!

If you’re paying 50% of after tax, you either have private loans (which are not a good deal and I would advise any students reading this to avoid like the plague) or you need to apply for IBR, ICR, or PAYE. That should never happen with federal loans.

I live in NY state. My apartment’s rent is being increased by 11% at the end of my lease. Last year I was in a different apartment that had it’s rent increased by 18%. I honestly don’t know how I would survive if I had to live where I live now for the rest of my life. People who have no options to move will see their…

Eh, I’m not sure how I feel about that statement. I mean, yes, some people have unavoidable student loan debt, especially if they’re becoming doctors or lawyers.

Welcome to LA. Also in order to have the pleasure of only getting 4% increases we pay half of the filing fee which is about $12 a year. And we are very happy that that is all we pay.

That’s with rent control. Ours went up last year and this year around 4% and only got a pay raise of just above 1%. They can go up as high as 3% without water and waste included or 4% with water and waste included which it is for us. Plus we pay almost $4 every month on some fee that they started passing onto us.…

The standard advice for a cash emergency fund is six months worth of necessary expenses.

This is why it’s so important for researchers to report the exact conditions their animals live in, and why it’s so frustrating for animals techs who try to maintain those conditions at a stable level realize that most of them don’t seem to understand or care. Lab animal science is hard, and crucial for medical…

But it’s impossible to live “comfortably” in apartments. Shared walls are the abject worst - people are so noisy. So these numbers should all be FAR higher.
