  • 62% of Student Loan Borrowers Say They're Likely to Boycott Repayments

    Jump

  • Of course everyone involved knows they will face consequences, but they may feel those consequences are better than the payments. Courts can't garnish paychecks that don't exist and a ruined credit rating only matters if you were ever going to be able to afford to buy a house or car in the first place. Afaik actual jail time isn't really a thing for defaulting on a loan. If the only leverage the government has to get people to pay the loan is to threaten their future financial security, then anyone who thinks the initial promises of security is bogus has nothing to lose.

    There's also some people who are willing to take the hit just to send a political message.

    That said, I suspect nowhere near 62% of borrowers will actually meaningfully boycott in any way.

  • I had fallen off a bit anyway; the amount of click baiting had gone through the roof, quality of videos plateaued. Now caught dead to rights on poor journalistic integrity and allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace?

    All so that I can drool over graphics cards I can't afford? Easy choice to unsubscribe.

    Be better, LTT

  • New Footage Shows Tesla On Autopilot Crashing Into Police Car After Alerting Driver 150 Times

    Jump

  • Sounds like the injured officers are suing. It's a civil case not criminal, so I'm not sure how much the court would actually be asked to legislate. I'd be interested to hear their arguments, though I'm sure part of their reasoning for suing Tesla over the driver is they have more money.

  • If you're swerving to avoid a sudden obstacle you reasonably may not have the foresight or reaction to flip on a signal. The car still needs to not force you back on collision course.

  • Cart Narcs is exposing carbrains (lazy bones)

    Jump

  • Wow that video is insufferable... What does this actually have to do with cars? I don't see how people being too lazy to put a shopping cart back is really relevant to this sub

    Edit: community, not sub. Gonna be a while till I fully work out all of the redditisms.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Not op, but in my mind this would depend on whether you have any reasonable means of de-escalation, e.g. running away

    If not then it's not really ethical or unethical... it just kinda can't be judged

  • Now official: you can buy a refurbished Steam Deck from Valve

    Jump

  • I heard once that Nintendo has enough cash in the bank to operate for the better part of a century without turning a profit. No clue if it's true, but if it is there may not be much valve (or anyone else) could do to make them nervous. Nintendo seems petty and stubborn enough to operate at a loss for a long time if it means they can keep running things as they like.

  • What is your favorite operating system and what do you like about it?

  • Arch Linux

    So that I can brag about using Arch Linux.

    Seriously though, I wanted to learn about Linux and chose trial-by-fire. I've used other (Debian based) distros but pacman + the Arch user repository are hard to live without now.

    Though if I ever had to reinstall I'd probably save myself some headache and install EndeavorOS.

  • Yeah lot of talking about using sync vs foss. I think that giving people more options is good for lemmy as a whole at the end of the day.

  • Maybe. Time will tell, but either way Lemmy won too. And me. Having a better time here; there's at least the potential for meaningful discourse here unlike the firehouse of pointless pseudo-conversation on the larger subreddits.

  • The government doesn't go out of it's way to give you one, but they usually aren't difficult to get. Driver's licenses and passports are commonly used as ID. Many states will also issue a state ID card, though the process for getting one varries by state.

    Driving, or at least being able to drive, is so ubiquitous that nearly everyone over 16 has some kind of driver's license. That's especially true of rural areas like Arkansas.

    For these kinds of things "official document" typically means a driver's license, passport, state ID, military ID, etc. Anything issued by a state or federal government that has your name, date of birth, and photo.

  • Libertarian Party of New Hampshire equates black slavery to having free access to medicine 💀

    Jump

  • If they're ideologically consistent then they'd argue that taxation is theft. And since they seem to think that slavery is wrong purely because the individual is being deprived of pay, then they'd probably say that taxation is morally equivalent to slavery as well.

    They're wrong, but they'd probably say that.
