Live sports remains the only reason a person should pay for cable. Most people don't give a poo poo about that, so yeah... why pay for cable?

Old people pay for cable because they gotta have their fox news. Ugh.

I mean, this is the FedLoan Public Service Loan Forgiveness scheme. I went to grad school on loan money. Working for the gov't or a nonprofit, I pay 10% for ten years, then the debt is forgiven.

lol, this seems fair. My wife can get up to 5k dollars forgiven working as a teacher at a title one school for 5 years. That's only like 20% of her entire loan debt.

She keeps trying to submit the paperwork but they keep rejecting her.

exactly. which, as someone was saying earlier, the Paradox of Intolerance cartoon has the right idea. it just plays too hard into the linguistic and rhetorical tricks that people like this are using to argue in bad faith in the first place.

Tolerance is easy if you have the correct list of which people and cultures are the vile ones and which are the good ones. I don't think there is anyone that doesn't do that.

I like that it kinda works like a math metaphor, in that putting a tolerant next to intolerant will work out as intolerant, while two intolerant next each other works into being tolerant behavior.

That's a really loving clumsy way of describing it, but whatever.

About the tolerating intorance bullshit that the fascists like to hang their hat on isn’t there a German saying something along the lines of “if two Nazis sit down for dinner with eight others ten nazis stand up”? Or is that something from the internet that was made up?

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.
Personally I think that it's worth pointing out to anyone who makes the stupid argument that it's not tolerance unless you tolerate intolerance that an admission that they are an intolerant bigoted rear end in a top hat is baked into their argument.

A prion is actually a much better metaphor, well said. One totally crooked element completely corrupting others into a crude imitation of their own brokenness. Plus both prions and fascism ultimately lead to total brain-death

They also had the contradicting opinions that "a whopper is a whopper", that her like wasn't as bad as Trump's, and also it was the same amount of Pinocchios.

Their cutsey terms for politicians intentionally trying to decieve people also pisses me off. If a President is manufacturing a fake crisis that's a big loving deal not "pants on fire" or "four Pinocchios." How am I supposed to treat these tools with respect if they don't even respect the lies they are correcting?
