Oh jesus, I'd forgotten about your vegan/animal rights protest kick there.
100% can confirm, he was a little nuts about this. With all respect, Rev, haha.

Similar yeah, the Art Institutes were private schools who'd let anyone in even though you had to submit a portfolio with X/Y/Z criteria; like, some of the people I met in there, it was obvious they'd be gone within a year or so, and they'd just out that money, but I had SOME hope that even with that ...less than stellar entry level, the degree had some legitimacy to it, but nope! It was just a straight "for profit" college that offered zero help after I graduated. We had a fairly revolving dean's chair in the latter years because it meant you drew the short straw to take the blame for the time being, I recall several instances of my former guidance counselor/career advisor outright failing to meet me for a schedule appointment that I would drive an hour in/out for because he was suddenly bumped up to Dean, and then when we WOULD meet, the jobs he had were dogshit and not relevant.
It closed I think maybe 2-3 years after I got my degree, so for the 9 years I've been paying loans back, 6-7 of those have been for a school that no one can even attend anymore

Totally fair.
While I was plant-based for 5 years after that, the activism didn’t last too long on account of being surrounded by fucking twats nonstop. I eat chicken and a teeny bit of dairy now.

I've avoided posting in this thread for a long time due to the "worship Biden's amazingness" thing when he's just not that amazing and really only does well at not being Trump. But, despite knowing that DrewH is the ultimate shit-stirring idiot, I just had to point out:
THAT is the Republican view of their constituents. And I guarantee you, DeSantis *IS* studying how Noem managed to block the will of the voting public. Hells, the whole Republican party were probably watching that shit-show test on a low-population state just to see if there was anything they could steal for their up-coming votes.
Check into Noem's history. We passed medical and recreational by a margin of something like sixty-five percent of the voting public. Noem went full commando shit-head and got recreational permanently blocked, then cooked as much as she could to widdle medical back. Nothing is over for Republican leaders when the public votes. We literally had her on TV telling us, over and over, "The voting public is not smart enough to understand what it's voting on. We must protect them from themselves."

Jesus Wept. Glades finally brings the funny. Guess I picked the right day to come back.

What? Are we in the same thread? I don't think anyone here worships Biden.
If they haven't been around in quite some time I could understand. Folks were a bit more optimistic of Biden, myself included, circa 2021.
There was some Biden dick riding by Drew (the one without an H) on a few occasions.
He looks like if Dracula were a used car salesman.

Wasn't there a class action lawsuit about that, that thought resulted in at least some debt forgiveness, since the whole thing ended up being a scam?

I don't love your metaphor, but I do think early on he outperformed expectations. Admittedly, they were low - he came in as Generic White Male Democrat, and actually racked up a number of legislative wins in the first couple years that I wouldn't have expected. I think there's still a decent shot that he'll be reasonably well regarded historically... but his having-it-both-ways about Israel and Gaza is really getting his administration bogged down in ways that are hurting him (ignoring any broader impacts they're having, focusing purely on his probable legacy)/
The juxtposition of Trump and Biden is interesting - one was an outsider and flailed around for three years because he simply didn't know how to work within the government, the other was an insider and long term Senator, and was able to leverage his background and relationships there to be unexpectedly effective. Then, they both got slammed by outside crises in their last year or so.

The stan-ing about the scale and scope of the infrastructure plan is mostly what I had in mind. It was a lot of money with not a lot of direct benefit to Main Street, and that was his signature accomplishment?
