  1. I am a person from a dirt-poor background who has racked up $100,000 of student debt. It didn't start at $100,000, but after all of the added interest, it sure has become that. In my (lived) experience, I can see how someone who has no financial literacy and very little financial support from home (for whatever reason) can rack up so much debt. The real issues are (I will miss a few that I am sure): 1. College is too expensive, and the costs are not the same as they were in previous decades, even in the 1990s. (This means that those who started college/universities in the 1990s probably paid significantly more for the same degree than a person who got their degree in the 1970s.) 2. Financial counselors employed by colleges and universities do not do their jobs, and all the predatory people who work for credit card companies were and probably still are allowed to set up booths on campuses. 3. A faction of this country is more concerned about profit than having a generation better off than the one they came from. I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably die with student debt. It is just part of my life. I work in public service, and maybe it will be forgiven. However, the hoops one must go through compared to the ease of being placed in debt are just enough to believe the whole system is rigged.
  2. With all the made-up fantasy sequences in this show, I thought I was watching a spinoff of Fantasy Island—not a very good spinoff, at that.
  3. I am diabetic and have been on Ozempic for six months because the original drug generally used for diabetes (along with another prescription med) was causing kidney failure. Now that I am on Ozempic, I am fine. I am seeing all over the internet where people are falsely claiming Ozempic and Monjauro have always been for weight loss. That is not true. Since people started using Ozempic for weight loss and causing diabetics not to be able to fill their prescriptions, the drug company created Wegovy specifically for weight loss. Wegovy has less of the stuff for diabetics and more of the stuff for weight loss. Monjauro is new and mainly for diabetics but has better weight loss capabilities than Ozempic. As a chronically on-and-off fat person in the room, I wish just counting calories worked for me. It doesn't.
  4. Is Mandy trying to pull off a British accent? I am enjoying the show, but it is not that good. Ha!
  5. For years, I only watched the original show for Rick and Rick/Michonne, even when I felt the plot was tedious. When Rick left, so did I. So, I am watching this for Rick and the Rick/Michonne relationship, but I also hope the background plot (because that is what it is for me) is interesting. So far, I think it is. I am here for the politics, not the zombies.
  6. Does anyone with a Max subscription through Prime able to view this episode?
  7. My least favorite version of ASIB. I have seen them all.
  8. This last episode portrayed Baldwin as the stereotypical Spiritual Negro that I was hoping we had moved away from. I don't like the Swans because they were probably as racist and vapid as "Baldwin" said they were, but according to the writers and what I have gathered about reality, Capote wanted to live in this world with them. And even if I think the Swans were vile, Capote presented himself as a good friend and backstabbed them. I actually have sympathy for Capote and the Swans because I think this world they are trying to fit in is taxing for women and homosexuals, but Capote is looking more petty than the Swans.
  9. I a huge fan of Linkin Park and like both sounds. This is really the unpopular music opinon.
  10. Maybe, I am a weirdo, but I do not find anything farfetched about Jeanine or Jacob smoking or vaping. Many different personalities partake in those things. I am a person who does neither but know many people (even teachers) who do.
  11. I think it could go pretty far. That was a long-running feud. And, as they are doing in this series already, they can embellish some things. (I seriously do not recommend that.)
  12. I was thinking the same thing.
  13. I liked the cast (not just Foster), the mysticism, the Annie storyline, and the setting. The Tsalal storyline was promising, but I hated the conclusion to that.
  14. Same. As with the first season of Feud, I sort of fact-check each episode after watching one because I think Murphy embellishes or moves around actual facts. I am enjoying Feud because it is juicy, but all the things that I hate about Murphy's style are evident.

    X-Men'97

    This trailer looks so good. I have always liked any incarnation of Scott/Cyclops over Logan/Wolverine. Cyclops saying "My-X-Men" gave me the same feels as Evan's Captain America saying "Avengers Assemble!" And Gambit. My favorite X-Man ever is back. Sp glad Tatum never got the chance to ruin him for me.
