Not gonna lie, I had to search for maybe 10 minutes before I found what you were referring to
but yeah that makes sense, especially if you consider it a generational thing amongst our own. Growing up in the digital landscape we have it's become a lot easier to pick our battles as it pertains to having tough conversations. It also doesn't help that it seems as though we've generally become desensitized to a lot of things, common respect towards other's feelings being one of them. Hope she ended up explaining herself, btw

Perhaps this is the wrong place, but I felt that every hockey fan should take a moment to consider Mike Bossy, who passed away on Friday. While the 70s and 80s gave us 3 dynasties in the Habs, Islanders and Oilers, and great players in Lafleur and Gretzky, there was nothing like the line of Gillies / Trottier / Bossy until 9296 came around. Gillies certainly paved the way for Landy, and one can draw a linear path from Trottier to Mac. Mikko is a different player than Bossy, but the two lines are freakishly similar in their roles. We've lost Gillies and Bossy in the past 90 days. - both way too soon if you ask me.

So Netflix is going down the toilet and shooting themselves in the foot in the process, and I'm here for it.
My gf just settled with a private student loan company to pay off a vast majority of her student loan debt...$80k wiped out for $44k after threatening to lawyer up. I don't usually post personal stuff on HF, but I'm just so f***ing happy for her

Eliminate all student loan debt damn it. The horribleness of predatory student loans that took advantage of a generation who were told it would be worth it by their parents who could buy a home on a single income is insanity.
Also, I believe my roommate stole my ski boots while moving out last week. We didn't get along well, but managed to survive the winter season. I finished 75% of my packing Monday/Tuesday and two pairs of ski boots were sitting by the fireplace. I came back on Sunday and one of the pairs is gone. I'm kind of baffled. Why take one pair unless you're just trying to spite me? What is her game plan? Was it an accidnet? Anyone have any advice on how to approach this situation considering she moved 7+ hours away?

Meh, asking someone who doesn't have a college education to pay for the college education of someone else seems like it's not really the answer either.
That's going to hurt her credit big time.My gf just settled with a private student loan company to pay off a vast majority of her student loan debt...$80k wiped out for $44k after threatening to lawyer up. I don't usually post personal stuff on HF, but I'm just so f***ing happy for her
lol how do you come to that conclusion?
What a response. But yeah that's the least of her concerns. Loan sharks harassing her and her family for years and missing payments due to predatory interest dented her credit more than anything else, so she'll survive any potential credit hit a flat payment may incur. Thanks for your concern though!
Chill mate, no harm was done, just taking it in from all angles. Private stuff is iffy, that's why I took student loans from the government personally and they keep getting extended by all these Presidents lol.
All good. Unluckily for her the scam college she went to told her private loans were the best course of action and coming from a low-income household her parents unfortunately didn't know any better and didn't bother to do the research. She was strapped with two private loans and one federal, but the amount in federal pales in comparison. Pretty crazy how an entire generation has been f***ed over by predatory student loans and yet there are still people pissing and moaning about the prospect of debt forgiveness.

Meh, we are probably broaching "political talk" but you do realize there is a difference between the US having a compulsory K-12 education program and adults electing to go to college, right? Since the US decided K-12 education was compulsory, the US has to pay for it. College is not compulsory.
