Upset and triggered for no reason…why? OT: so glad the streams aren't slowing down!

Oops, didn't see that review! I guess her team knew exactly which publications to target!

Weird how RS, PopMatters, NYT, and Variety, all of which are weighted heavily, gave the highest scores. Pitchfork is the only one that gave a mediocre review. AllMusic is the only heavily-weighted publication left.

Are people actually claiming the LA show was not successful? I was there and it was packed.

Omg…I can't believe it.

Wish he would just croak already.

I’m so sorry you had to go through all that. I know — everyone just tells me that time will heal everything, but I haven’t lost a loved one before, and I can’t imagine the pain I’ll have to endure when that time comes. Everything I do will remind me of him… It’s so hard. This is why my parents did not want to get a pet. But he provided us with so much joy and happiness, and we treated him so well. I just don’t want him to be in pain. I hope your dogs feel better. I know how it feels when your beloved pets are sick…I just wish I could do more. It definitely is like losing a family member. My parents consider him as one of their children. It just aches my heart to see him sick. We definitely will take him out the most we possibly can and let him enjoy his favorite foods…I already miss him even though he’s still here.

These past few months have been so difficult. My mom was diagnosed with cancer last year and underwent chemo and is now in remission. I had all sorts of thoughts of losing my mom as she was going through treatment, but they mostly went away after her amazing response to chemo. I was planning on taking her to Europe in May, but now we just found out our dog has cancer. He’s starting chemo today, but we were told to expect only a few extra months with him. He’s been our dog for 14 years, and I cannot imagine how life would be like without him. What are some ways to deal with loss? I’m mostly an introvert and don’t really like going out too often. I’m also afraid of going out and not coming home to my dog’s barks and licks…

Np! Hopefully you can get a refund! You'll most likely qualify for forgiveness. The loan expert is quite confident about it.

The FFEL loans will probably be looped in later on. I follow this Reddit thread for information: https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/wyppu8/new_biden_forgiveness_megathread/?sort=new. If you have any questions, you should try reaching out to someone there. Hope that helps!

When you log on studentaid.gov, does it say your loans are owned by the Department of Education? The servicer should not matter as long as they are owned by the DOE. I feel like people who cannot get refunds never had federal loans to begin with...

There are a lot of things I want to do or originally planned to do. I love traveling, but I can’t imagine myself traveling without my mom, especially when we had plans to go back to Japan together in the near future. I just hope that once she finishes her treatment, we’ll be able to travel somewhere together. I should probably just take melatonin, though it’s not something I want to depend on forever.

I know. It’s always best to let it out, but I’m worried this pain and heartbreak will live on with me forever. I’ve never dealt with the loss of a loved one, so it’s been extremely hard for me to cope. I don’t have a big group of friends (most of my “friends” from high school and university turned out to be quite fake), so I almost feel as if I’m alone. I also worry about how they would act around me - I don’t want them to pity me or feel like they have to act cautiously around me. I don’t know. I have been telling myself to go see a therapist or psychologist for years now (for other reasons), but I think it’s absolutely necessary this time around. Thanks for all the well wishes. I really appreciate all your kind words and hope we can make it through this.

I wish I was in the mood for music. I haven’t listened to music for a week now, which I didn’t think was ever going to happen. I do like to put on some Twitch streams or funny videos to help myself fall asleep, but it’s when I wake up in the middle of the night that makes it hard to get myself to fall back asleep…
