How to qualify for Biden's new student loan forgiveness plan

President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced his plan to address student loan debt, which includes debt forgiveness for certain borrowers and

[myrrhemaid]

Folks: Back in June the Biden administration also made it possible to claim LOAN CANCELLATION for over a hundred predatory for-profit colleges. Thousands are illegible for total relief-- return of money paid, and credit score readjustment. Now that other student relief action is in the news a LOT of people are just learning about Borrowers Defense.

[roach-works]

ohhhh my heart is so full right now. ive watched the art institute eat naive young artists alive for decades now. i hope they all burn down. i hope the upper management all die broke and ashamed, like so many hundreds of their graduates have.

[sumeriasmith]

This is, obviously, amazing, but CRUCIALLY, if your school is listed here, you have to apply for the cancellation. This is NOT automatic. This is a payout from a settlement based on a government suit against the conglomerate running these schools. I urge everyone who has outstanding student loans to go to this website and APPLY FOR A SETTLEMENT. YOU HAVE TO APPLY.

ASAP there is a deadline.

THIS IS THE LINK YOU WANT.

How to Keep Tabs on ICE Agents Who May Be Surveilling Your Neighborhood

Here’s a step-by-step guide.

Get organized and protect your community against ICE raids!

[cazort]

What the fuck world are we living in where this is in Teen Vogue?

Like...great article...but...shit. Jesus. Fuck.

[addamatic]

Big takeaway (read the whole article):

In many cases they were able to make ICE leave just by watching them.

You don’t have to be ready to get in conflict, you can still make a difference.

[teenslib]

I attended an optional What to do if ICE comes to your library training and was given much the same advice: make sure someone is recording. Keep them out of arm's reach of any agents, but don't hide that they're recording. Simply being recorded changes the agents' attitude and behavior.

[paddysnuffles]

There's research to back up the claim that watching is helpful.

I remember reading ages ago about a study that found that people's behaviour was affected by simply having an image of another person looking at them. Didn't even need to be in person.

So yeah, watching and recording absolutely helps.

Hey, so if you have Windows 11 installed and have been losing your mind over the fact that you can't find your own files because Windows is now prioritizing internet search results first, you can fix it by following this guide:

How to Disable Windows Web Search and Speed Up Your PC

Stop the OS from pulling up web results when you just want files and apps.

As someone with over 900 GB of intentionally and properly named files on her computer (I do a lot of digital art and digital media work that requires high-volume files that function off of dependencies), this feature was making me furious. I followed the above instructions and can confirm that the method outlined solves the problem.

[banrionceallach]

I have just tried this, it works and the explanation how to do it was so user friendly and clearly laid out.

10 and 11 are also kinda secretly adding Windows Copilot to your computer when you're not looking. Even without software updates. You can follow this guide to disable Copilot

How to disable Copilot in Windows 11

Completely disable Copilot in Windows 11 in just a few simple steps.

The guide uses a program called gpedit (group policy editor), if you can't find it on your computer, follow this guide to install/enable it, and remember to always run as administrator:

Run these commands in command prompt.

Win + Q

Search: command prompt

Right-click > Run as admin

Copy, paste, and enter these commands:

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

Test it by opening Win + R

Type: gpedit.msc

See if it opens

Bruce gets a somehow very serious injury during one of the mission, so now he needs to actually use a "nurse" button (aka. Alfred or any of the kids who is closer) to get something. Expect, Jason and Stephanie modify this stupid button, and now, each time when he presses it, the stupid sitcom ass laughter of the crowd follows it. Just for shit and giggles.

Duke, squinting: Uh, guys... What is with the repetitive sound of dumb laughter coming from the Batcave? Tim, chewing on sandwich: Ignore it. Damian, sighing: Grayson is mad at father, so while he brought him water as father asked for, the water in the question was three big cubes of ice. Duke: Okay...?

But Bruce is no less petty, you all. He starts to use it back to annoy his kids, too.

Tim: Shit! Tim: *trips over his own skate that he left near the armchair in the Batcave, despite Alfred's warnings not to do that, and falls with a loud thud* Dick, panicking: Tim, are you okay- Bruce, smirking: *silently presses button, so now the imaginery crowd laughs at Tim, too* Tim: ...You CANNOT be serious.

Can we all sit back for a second and really think about the fact that after Dick's parents die they don't send him to an orphanage, they send him to juvie "because the orphanages are too full".

Dick was an 8 year old who just watched his parents die infront of him. He has not committed a crime, he doesn't know anyone and he's not only in an unfamiliar building but he's in an unfamiliar city. His entire world got flipped upside down.

And let's be honest; half the people there (probably more) would be willing to kill, a good chunk of them probably have, It's Gotham. Most people there would also be in their teens, Dick is eight. That isn't a fair fight, especially if they team up against him like shown in the comics. On one occasion Dick says he think he would've died if the fight hadn't been broken up.

Worst part about all this? I seriously doubt Dick was the only one. Gotham is corrupt, the cops, the lawyers, the jurors, the judges, the child workers are all corrupt.

So many kids are probably wrongfully found guilty by a corrupt system. I can't even tell if it would be worse if the orphanages are actually full or for Dick to have been sent to juvie because of discrimination. Knowing Gotham? It's probably both.

Now I'm sad thinking about fictional kids in a fictional city getting wrongfully sent to juvie and getting beat and/or dying there.

Hearing the whole “Americans didn’t beat the nazis” thing is so exhausting and counterproductive. Spoiler alert: America isn’t the only country affected by Trump, so this could apply to literally any allies in WW2 (which is more than you think, lots of countries fought alongside Britain and we’re eternally indebted to them). Also even if America failed to rid the world of Nazis in the past until like the last moment where they joined the allies, then surely now is simply an opportunity for them to do it earlier?

History is there to learn from, not to replicate in its entirety. Beat them back earlier this time, America. The rest of the world believes in you.

Reminded of that time the xkcd guy was trying to research what sports equipment would be most effective for destroying enemy drones in flight and he looked up a bunch of stats about pro tennis player accuracy against stationary targets like 40 feet away, and figured that a really high level tennis pro might be able to hit the drone in 5-7 shots if they had the time and even then probably wouldn’t do enough damage to disrupt it more than momentarily.

And then Serena volunteered to test this theory and just, killed it instantly.

[shithowdy]

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

[shithowdy]

hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

we fucking found them?

[prof-grace-aspen]

Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:

"Smooth edges of screen fonts"

My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.

Y'all.

I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.

Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:

Then you'll see this:

TURN IT ALL OFF.

I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

[theweirdwideweb]

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

[theweirdwideweb]

[handsmotif]

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍
