  1. Erasing $10k of my student loans would bring them down into the "let's make a plan to pay these off" territory from the "let's just fill out the IDR form every year and have them forgiven once they're 20 years old" territory.
  2. That weed bust picture is at least two years old. Funny to see it making the rounds again.
  3. I'm not a Potter stan or whatever but what an absolute shit take LMAO
  4. Anybody who names their child xiaeixiiiaaaeeexiiixiiaexii or what the fuck ever is guilty of child abuse and that should be a disqualifier for any accolade good or bad.
  5. Not a reply to any individual post or idea, but just something that keeps coming into my head reading through all the conversation here. You can integrate into a new culture while not leaving behind everything about the culture you came from. You can identify as a particular culture and "be proud of it" or whatever while still being able to criticize this or that about it. My wife is part of a folk dance group with others from her country of birth (Bolivia). They put on shows--side note everyone should fly to Salt Lake City this weekend for a minor league hockey game where the group will be performing between periods thanks--and generally celebrate Bolivia and Bolivian culture. But they also like speaking English, try to help their family and friends move here, and will be the first to say that Bolivia isn't a great place to live to put it mildly. Yet they still love and celebrate Bolivia. Learning the common tongue is the best way to integrate. Sometimes I feel like that's all you need. Spanish is so common here that it's like a second common tongue. Especially in Utah. Like, half the white people here speak Spanish. One thing I tell new arrivals to Utah from Latin America is to never think that all the pasty white people around you don't understand what you're saying if you're speaking Spanish. My MIL lives and works here now. She has for the past four years. She doesn't really speak English at all. She never wants to go back to Bolivia and she feels integrated from what I can tell. My wife's cousin came here to attend a school to learn English. She's been there for almost four years too. But she still really hasn't "learned" it because so many people here already speak Spanish that she only hangs out with people that speak Spanish.
  6. Everybody was streaming Netflix or whatever at the gym from you though due to your heightened 5G levels. No side effects? I also did not have any side effects from the booster.
  7. Yup. There was one in SLC, a city surrounded by mountains, about 20 years ago.
  8. I batted an eyelash. Though I'd say in general that I like Don Cheadle more, I liked Howard more in that role. I would've loved to see him in the suit.
  9. The vibe of that trailer has me excited. But I can't tell what the game is actually going to be like. The website didn't help much either. Star Wars Eclipse™ | Official Site | Quantic Dream WWW.STARWARSECLIPSE.COM Official site of Star Wars Eclipse™, the newest adventure in the High Republic era created in collaboration between Quantic Dream and...
  10. If it isn't before the year 2009 I'm probably not excited. Kind of cool I guess. What was he doing there?
  11. That is not gun safety in my case. Wear seatbelts, don't even touch the car keys = don't touch a gun, tell an adult if you see a gun Actually driving the car with different degrees of supervision based on age and experience = Actually operating the firearm with different degrees of supervision based on age and experience.
  12. Advent Rising. Sad face. So promising in terms of concept and some of the ideas going on in there but a horrible technical mess.
  13. Don't see how that is a possibility because to progress the BattlePass you need to complete specific challenges like "kill 5 jabronis with the mauler" to get XP.
  14. And games always do this. I mean half the fun of Halo MP is inventing new game types yourself in the custom games mode. Not having a certain game mode is such a non-issue. The staples are there.
