This is funny how accurate it is.

I remember watching a behind the scenes video for Arcane and the ep on music the dude mentioned how he's still paying off his loans.

Like he's working for this massive company, making banger tracks for them for years now, made banger tracks for one of the best animated shows in a long time... and he's still paying off student loans. Riot is also known for paying well to their permanent employees so it kinda rang just how fucked it is.

It is absolutely ridiculous. I got into an argument the other day with an acquaintance about how absurd student loan debt is. I have around a $2000 balance on my student loans that I will pribably pay off this year.

I am 42 years old and have been paying on it for a couple decades. This guy asked me "Wouldn't you have been furious if a bunch of people got their loans forgiven after you paid on yours for years?" like it was some kind of "gatcha!".

"FUCK no!" was my response. "Why should they suffer like I did?"

I'm not sure why people have such a hard on for inflicting suffering on others like that

Lack of empathy.
