Some time ago I received an email saying I was eligible for student loan relief. Its depressing to see that it wont be happening but not surprising.

The financial reality of most millennials (roughly age 27 to 42 in 2023) and younger generations is that we are going to work until we die. Most of the people in this age range are way behind on retirement savings (if they even have any). If they live in the United States, Congress is raising...

Yeah definitely. What I think needs to happen is there needs to be more men's social and support groups where they work on redefining things. I don't see it happening though. I'm not sure I agree with all of what you're saying here. I still think emotional labor can be just as valuable for men...

I think the state of psychology/counseling as a field is a symptom of greater social and cultural issues, not a cause of those issues. The main problem is that men are not socialized to do emotional labor the way women are. This of course means managing and talking about feelings but also...

Not at all unfortunately. Environmental destruction and global warming are completely wrecking the planet. Politics has become extreme. The cost of living has gone way up to the point where life is a severe financial struggle for most people. We are probably about to go through another major...

In this video they discuss some of the structural issues at play in regard to this issue.

My understanding is that many of the same structural issues in place then are around now. Aspects of the Dodd-Frank act were rolled back by the passing of EGRRCPA (signed by Trump). Its frustrating to see them find money for this but not student loan forgiveness or a host of other things.

In Meditation III, Rene Descartes offers a proof of God existing based on deductive logic. Leibniz and Spinoza offered proofs as well; although, Spinoza's conception of God is more pantheistic than the traditional conception of the Judeo-Christian God. Personally I don't think belief in God is...

Billionaires are immoral. They can only amass that amount of wealth through exploitation of working people. Some millionaires are immoral like this as well. However, the real issue is the economic system. Capitalism is destroying the environment and gives people the choice of either being...

Cost is $15,000 per year for the first three years (and they offer an accelerated three year program), which includes housing. That is very reasonable by liberal arts college standards, but it is very expensive when compared to the sort of places one would normally go to learn a trade (two year...

I've come back to this thread several times now, but my level of emotional exhaustion these days has prevented me from engaging in it. I've always tried to give people the benefit of the doubt by assuming they are ignorant instead of hostile in discussions targeting trans women; however, I'm not...

I'm sure everyone has heard about the most recent mass shootings in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX. This keeps happening, but the government seems incapable of passing legislation that would put in place gun control measures that pretty much all other countries have. So what is it going to take to...
