[00:33:13] <mrpg> a TV program character used catholic words as a swear, someone wrote to the station to complain. Was told sorry, but it is in the dictionary as a swear word.
[00:33:38] <mrpg> Thanks for watching.
[00:34:03] <mrpg> It was a decent complain, not an alt-right one.

[21:23:49] <notsulla> God student loans suck. Was investigating the difference between two federal loans of same amount and interest with two different loan handlers. Were accumulating at different rates
[21:24:04] <notsulla> My contract has it accumulate monthly, yet one of the companies is doing it daily
[21:24:55] notsulla is now known as sulla
[21:25:10] <sulla> Skummy as hell
[22:45:56] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Study Finds Online Interest in Sex Rises at Christmas, with More Births Nine Months Later - http://sylnt.us - when-fixing-card-punches-is-not-exciting-enough
[22:49:27] <Bytram> sulla: if that really is the case, there's an excellent chance you are not the only one who is being affected -- might find a friendly lawyer who wants to take on a class action suit? Think of the [older] children!!
[22:57:58] <sulla> Problem is those loans are owned by the state of alaska
[22:58:17] <sulla> Im only 1.5 years from paying them off with my accelerated plan, so not gonna worry
[22:58:48] <Bytram> good you're not overly concerned about it.
[22:59:46] <sulla> Mostly just pissed
[22:59:59] <sulla> I filled multiple complaints with the fed loan agency
[23:00:01] <Bytram> nod nod
[23:00:04] <Bytram> hmmm
[23:00:30] <Bytram> just find a lawyer with a kid who has one of those loans... and let nature run its course?
[23:00:57] <sulla> I have a guy who has good connections and could take it on, but is unavailble til after I am paid off
[23:01:10] <Bytram> nod nod
[23:01:37] <sulla> Difference in accumulation would be 10k or so if I paid normal, but im fortunate enough to use whole salary on debt so ill only accum 400 or so extra dollars by the time im paid off
[23:01:46] <Bytram> I'm curious -- is the laod directly from the state or just guaranteed by the state?
[23:02:01] <sulla> The feds chose the state as the loan officer
[23:02:01] <Bytram> s/laod/loan/
[23:02:01] <upstart> <Bytram> I'm curious -- is the loan directly from the state or just guaranteed by the state?
[23:02:18] <Bytram> IOW is a bank possibly making a windfall?
[23:02:34] <sulla> The state is definitely pocketing the difference
[23:02:46] <Bytram> :(
[23:03:05] <sulla> I will probably follow up with my lawyer friend once im paid off and stable and he is available
[23:03:15] <Bytram> good plan
[23:03:19] <Bytram> and, good luck!
[23:03:56] <sulla> Yeah. My biggest beef is that it threw off my 15 year fiscal plan and I had to rework it over comparitively small amounts
[23:04:11] <sulla> That and usury being a sin and all
[23:05:19] <Bytram> gotcha
[23:09:12] <Bytram> break time -- dishes
