Imagine holding the camera and having to tell your buddy without making him shit his pants.

You posted the same thing twice and that's an important lesson about bills in the real world, kids.

That seems to happen a lot with Kbin and Lemmy.

Either you hit add comment and it says it had some error, so you do it again and it actually worked the first time.

Or you hit it once and somehow it posts it twice.

That's why some apps use this mechanism to gate submissions by a few seconds.

So you can't submit or edit/save more than once every 5 seconds or so.

Dammit, my UI glitched out. Thanks for pointing it out.

I stg did they buy all the debt cheap because everyone else was worried it was going to be canceled or something?

With the guarantee to never time out, I didn't know student loans got traded like Pokémon cards akin to medical debt.

I wonder if you could get these buyers like you can get most medical buyers, with them not having the appropriate records to "prove" you owe it. 🤔I'm sure that loophole is probably closed for student debt though.

I got moved to Nelnet as well and I hate 'em. At least my last provider had a decent website and didn't constantly get confused about how much I owe.

Somehow they're an upgrade over the pure dumpster fire that was my old servicer (Fedloan, which I found out was owned by the fucking state government of Pennsylvania. Can't believe the states are allowed in the loansharking game). I still want to go to Lincoln and show them a nice time, but at least those keystone fuckers are out of the game for good.

Thank you, it reminded me to pay my monthly fee for it, even if I never finished it. Thanks mandatory internship times and no help to get it besides some job listings on my college's site, and no guarantees for disabled student!

Bonus points if its a garnishment and doesn't come out automatically.
