I don’t regret my education for a second. I only regret that I couldn’t pursue it as a passion. I’m very much someone who would spend my whole life at college.

The concept of PPP was good on principle. I don’t doubt that it did help people in need and that alone could qualify as a “net good.”

You and I are in the same age range and income bracket. I don’t own a car but I do have a scooter; I don’t have my own place. I couldn’t afford those things before the pandemic and I can’t now. I am childless.

I just don’t understand why you’d stop paying them just because you could because of Covid when you didn’t lose your job, only to complain about them starting up again now.

If a bill you used to be able to pay (albeit maybe with difficulty) went away, but now is back, what the hell were you doing with that “extra” income in the meantime?

I see your 8k and raise you 12k.

I can see that. Most PPP loans were forgiven without meeting those requirements, though.

PPP Loans.

Gomez replied: “Agreed @kyliejenner. It’s all unnecessary. I’m a fan of Kylie!”

there is no way Justin Bieber is worth this much mess and drama.

To be able to write about Brittney Griner’s expression of joy—let alone her taking the stage at one of the most culturally important American awards shows—is not something I take for granted.

DeMent wonders who cared for her during her lifetime: “Mahalia, Mahalia, you were a woman, too,” she sings. Who’s to say she didn’t know full well she was a woman, too?

Was she lying then or is she lying now? If she was pressured then to make allegations, who is to say she’s not being pressured now?

This is correct and it’s not complicated. Still hard to wrap my head around, though. Elon Musk is a handy example because none of what he does makes sense unless you’re a fan boy who thinks he, and men like him, are playing 5D chess and that there has to be a “greater” or meaningful reason for the things they do when…

This is actually probably some stage-actor sage wisdom. Or something.

Of course billionaires are bad people.

You can be a victim and a victimizer. Arguably, anyone who gets involved in a cult is mentally ill (and it could happen to any of us) but that does not free you of responsibility to the well-being of others.

Allison Mack also got jail time.

If the Peltz are mega-rich why is the matriarch afraid of the cost? I again ask why the rich are so stingy that they need this 159k deposit back and its’ worth it to them to have all of their texts in the public record? All while the elder Peltz was trying to get on Disney’s board.

If you’re going to argue for fetal personhood and unborn rights to the point that miscarriages can be called manslaughter, then you would also have to acknowledge that using any kind of substances while pregnant could be viewed as assault.

I get that arguing on behalf of an unborn fetus is a slippery slope.
