I simply cannot grasp how a judicial system that's entirely based on standing, suddenly decides that 6 random states that have 0 stake in this whole FEDERAL student loan thing have standing to sue over this forgiveness plan

As long as all the air-conditioning is chugging along, most people won't even notice. Thank god the texan electric grid is stable enough to never cut out. Wait..

Except that MOHELA didn't sue and didn't want to sue in the first place. No business has a constitutional right to make a profit. If all debtors transferred their loans to a different company tomorrow, MOHELA would go bankrupt and they'd have just as much standing then, I.e. none at all. Furthermore, as I said, MOHELA didn't sue, the state of Missouri did. MOHELA doesn't pay a single cent to the state of Missouri, so exactly how is Missouri being injured here? The fact that MOHELA would make less money changes nothing to the "public function" Missouri is supposed to provide here. It can still continue to offer student loans. So I ask again, where is the injury? None of this gives Missouri the state any standing

Strange though how the previous president doing the exact same thing but with ppp loans for businesses was all fine and dandy. Yes, yes, totally not a political judgement at all, nothing to see here

Lots of instances are waiting for 0.18.1 to be released, which will bring back captchas, which got removed in 0.18.0. The devs pushed out 0.18.0 to fix a bunch of annoying bugs and to make their api more sustainable (http vs websockets), but changing api technologies meant that captchas needed to be entirely reimplemented. They didn't want to wait for that to push the bug fixes and the new api, hence why you're seeing the discrepancy. The new jerboa app using the new api got pushed together with the new api, but isn't compatible with the 0.17.4 version

Wasn't XMPP EEE'd by Google? Not to say that Meta is any better of course

There's something to say for it if one party gave up work to become a stay at home parent I guess. You're at a pretty severe disadvantage if you need to enter the job market with a significant gap in your resume. So if you consider marriage a contract wherein one person put themselves at a disadvantage to raise the children o the condition that the other would in turn provide for the both of them, you could argue that they're entitled to some form of compensation when that contract is broken. Whether that compensation should be indefinite I leave on the table.

Especially since the language of the HEROES act explicitly states that they can waive or modify. According to the majority forgiveness is clearly not equal to waiving, since you know, they're different words and it's impossible for different words to have the same meaning. If congress wanted to give the secretary the power to forgive, they should've written forgive instead of waive in the act /s

I do not get how these 6 states were determined to have standing in the first place? Isn't the whole US justice system predicated on the fact that you need to experience direct or indirect harm, be an actually involved party for you to be able to sue? They're federal loans, so federal money, where does their standing come from?

CS:GO is free to play and about to get a big update/overhaul into CS2. It's a valve game so it's bound to work great on steam deck

Check my comment on one of the other threads, Missouri didn't stand to lose anything. MOHELA doesn't pay anything to the state, so even if there was some constitutional right to profit for companies, MOHELA would be the injured party, not the state of Missouri

Going by how that sub was mcgyvered together and testimonials of previous passengers saying they always lost contact, I'd say that a lot is an understatement

I'd say it depends entirely on your mindset. I've been enjoying playing it casually. There's both a ranked and unranked mode, but even in the ranked mode on lower ranks it's pretty fun to just mess about. It does require you not to focus on chasing rank

Thanks! It's extremely insightful to get a peek behind the scenes like this. Stuff like this always happens behind closed doors and threads like yours really help shine some light :)
