I planted some lemongrass my ex gave and it’s doing quite well. I was afraid at first that the shock of being rehomed would kill it, but with enough time and love, it’s flourishing quite well.

You ok?

The problem is that they both are contextual and can mean any position in a list/array. The starting index or starting offset is generally zero, but could be one, depending on the language used.

There are two types of loans: subsidized and subsidized. The subsidized loans do not accrue any interest, as the fed pays that for you. Unsubsidized loans do accrue interest; typically a lower rate than regular loans (mine were 6%). Student loans cannot be discharged through bankruptcy.

It should also be said that just because I already paid my student loans off doesn’t mean I don’t want other people to be in debt. Student loan forgiveness needs to be up there with the livable wage.

Oh I hope this lasts through October so I can refi my home loan. 🤞

This isn’t about you.

There is absolutely everything appropriate with it.

If I gouge out my eyes, and then complain to everyone I’m sad now that I’m blind, I’m the one to blame for it. Why would anyone feel pity for me?

Honestly, you sound as bad as those anti-vaxxers, sitting all high and mighty on your throne of shit. You think you’re better than OP because how dare anybody get sick if they were smart enough to get vaccinated like you. Your world is so black and white you cannot possibly fathom any grey in between. It’s ideologies like yours that hurt the rest of us the most.

You don’t have to be sympathetic. You also don’t have to be an asshole and rub it in. You know nothing about this person, and yet you’re so quick to pass judgement. I pity you more than I pity OP.

I don’t know your circumstances, or what you’ve tried or can try, but you could look into cochlea implants.

And while nothing about this is ideal or easy, I hope you are able to find your way to heal and rebuild from this trauma. Grieve. You’ve lost a lot. But please don’t give up on yourself (or your wife) quite yet.

OP has lost their hearing, is bed-ridden, and has lost their future plans. And here you are kicking them while they’re down. There is absolutely nothing appropriate with anything you just said in your comment.

Blowing anybody up is NEVER funny. And it never will be.

There you. You can’t stop people from fighting, but we certainly can stop helping them kill each other.

And look, I get it’s a hot button issue for a lot of people. I’m not suggesting anyone is wrong for whatever side they choose. It’s too complex of an issue for my pea-brain to fully understand. What I do understand is that the US and other countries need to be working toward helping both sides find a reasonable and peaceful solution — whatever that may be (I’ll leave that to the smarter people to figure out).

Did I? Completely unintentional. I meant for it to be blatant and obvious. 😉

That’s probably true too.

I bet Satan would give the kid what they asked for, and not just some lump of coal.

You know what’s always coming but never gets here?

The Riker thing is obvious, but are we going to gloss over how Geordi’s holodeck program (that he’ll be making out with) looks like Keiko?

Amen. Now, where’s that Wine?
