  1. Only five states give state aid for DACA students and even fewer give aid to nonDACA undocumented students. Maryland is not one of them. The suggestion that it would be easy for her to come here marry him and deal with a child is quite silly. It is really not easy for poor immigrants maybe she thinks it's easier than staying in Russia that's really her decision I don't think we have enough information suggests which was a better idea for her.
  2. While there are official ways to find this stuff out, they are some amount of work(calling the school in question Digipen). The best we have is his Linkedin which of course could be false but I don't really see any reason to assume that. He has legit looking endorsements and reviews including from Digipen faculty. He seems to legitly be a software engineer for a well known gaming company.
  3. Sure but that really doesn't mean anything for his job right? I mean it's really just b roll it could just as easily be a part of his job but he does other stuff too, or side project of his. Or he was just asked to put anything on the screen. If his Linkedin information is correct (which obliviously it may not be) he is probably not just doing front end stuff.
  4. Re: Colts Job So first we will not see any real coding, that is just issues about ownership/privacy. Ok so after checking his Github and Linkden is seems he works for a company that makes machines for casinos, that could explain the slot machine in the apartment. Konami Gaming, Inc has become mostly about gambling software but was an OG gaming company. If he is fulltime time his salary should be pretty decent 70-80k although they don't have the best benefits. He went to a video game development orientated college which is.... risky. Especially he is wants to work on actually video games. This seems to be him right?
  5. True but not the point, even in Texas she would have to be properly evicted. Yes the landlord could fine and evict him if he is breaking his lease but she would also need to be evicted.
  6. Josh, I liked Josh cause he was ready to actually date Tina, whereas Jimmy Jr has always been unwilling to really make that decision.
  7. I think the real problem was that he ran again, he was already quite old and could've considered his ability to finish his term when running. It was commented that he should step aside then. So yeah he kind of fits although not quite in the same way of the others.
  8. I know this is probably too corny but I prefer when shows just ignore that the actress is pregnant or even go the Nanny route and make it a meta joke. I know in reality it won't matter for this show since they don't mind pushing Haley to the side so now she'll have a sibling to place over there.
  9. "First of all, boys, you can't text from prison, stop playing dumb. " Ahhh... yeah you can. It is of course against the rules but one of the most smuggled in items are cell phones
  10. I agree that she doesn't need a reason not to sleep with him. I hope she has already told him that she is just not feeling it and sorry. If she is making it seem like he can earn it somehow I think that is unfair. I do wonder if she was honest with must-haves (like the level and kind of assertiveness she wants). However, even if she wasn't, I feel like if the experts do their due diligence they would have known.
  11. To be honest until you pointed it out I never thought of the black, white thing with these three ladies. Each of them are beautiful in their own way. To be represented by a Shelia is exciting. She is everything any woman would strive to be. She is well spoken, well groomed and dresses well too. I would take her as the sophisticated of the group. Ashley as the girly girl and Danielle as the athletic one. I just don't see them as white or black. Whether or not you've thought about it's a real and crushing thing, it's not just TV. Even with no context, Black women (especially dark skinned women) are considered to be, more aggressive, less feminine, less attractive etc. Contributing to an even stronger concern with looking "right" (respectability politics) which are defined by a mostly Anglo influenced standard. This is supported by a great deal of research, which if you'd like I can PM you some links. Now whether or not this is playing into some of Shelia's concerns, I don't know but it is worth considering. However, apart from that Shelia does come off as very mean to Nate. She goes after him sometimes as if she needs to make sure she draws blood. I know this is a behavior that exists with some people even really nice happily married people especially when they are younger and still figuring out how to disagree. Despite how much she may like him if she seems to have a really hard time treating him as an adult./equal partner. Once again maybe not ready for marrying a stranger. Edited for some typos and clarity.
  12. The last one a remember where it really was the guy, ( I think they meet on a beach) he just wasn't that into her and that was why he was so flaky. This one seems legit just not very resourceful? Like Max said it's been years and they are taking moving together. Get a greyhound ticket if you have to.
  13. I pretty much agree, at the very least they are committed to the roles and we'll see if those roles become real. A&A are good with a big exception, it seems that he is not comfortable being honesty with her about his feelings. They isn't a deal breaker yet, but it seems he may be developing the belief that he'll always have to be super careful around her.
  14. I agree but I can see the rationalization of someone., especially if they didn't keep up whit all the online info about people. They might see some failed couples and think "Well I would never do that, act like that so I would be OK", and instead see themselves more in the successful couples. Of course to do think particular show means more then just unlucky in love. There are services that are also made to get you married and a lot more private. So potentially if they really are serious about marriage, they already tried without success those services, or couldn't afford them maybe, or also want to be on TV.
  15. Eh, I don't really agree with this. 50% of all couples that live together eventually marry and the highest increase in cohabiting couples in recent years has been in the 50+ age bracket. I think most young people are looking at cohabitation as a "road test" for potential marriage, not an end unto itself. Most men, so I have read, are looking for a similar long-term life partner and many want children too so they are more amenable to marriage if those things are important to them. I think a lot of young people associate marriage with a lifetime commitment, and because they know how hard it is to maintain one, they'd rather test drive that situation before jumping into marriage. Unfortunately, this show does just the opposite - they marry first, THEN they decide whether the "road test" is a success. I think young people take marriage just as seriously or even moreso than decades ago, which is why they put it off until they are absolutely sure it's going to work for the long haul. That's why they move in together to try out living together first. They're trying in their own way not to end up like their parents' generation with high divorce rates. Not sure if they're succeeding, but I have to admire them for this anyway! I agree, I mean of course the couples on this show are in no way representative of their general age groups. More people put of marriage for many reasons. Economics is a basic one (and because of that education) Many young(24-30) people I know believe they are with their life partners but want to reach certain economic/educational goals before marriage. If you want to finish college and make some head way on a good career path, you are already looking post 25 easy. Survey data backs this up as well. Many just as you said want to make sure by living together. Every generation has access to more potential partners then the last. More choices can create anxiety about choosing. Just an aside it's not that relevant here, but while their is data that says marrying age is increasing, those studies are often skewed because that tend to survey college educated and higher earning people (even when these studies try to do random sampling, getting a hold of lower income people is just harder). When you look at lower income and lower education levels you see younger marriage rates.
