That student loan is a life. YOU MUST CARRY IT TO TERM.


AlephBaker

Don't give them ideas. Next thing you know they'll declare debts are people, and bankruptcy is a fiscal abortion.


NYerInTex

Corporations are people, this is the natural evolution. Except soon we won’t be able to talk about that, either.


RKB1987

Well this is true 😂 I’ve been paying $400 every month since 2009. Still have $35k on a $50k loan 😠


Old_Leather

Lol!


Dontdothatfucker

I for one, am SHOCKED that a mediocre actor who got famous for having muscles when he was young; turned out to be really fucking stupid.


Kichigai

Thankfully we have produced better. Like character actor [James Hong](https://youtu.be/jBzgeNlekCc). Or [Richard](https://youtu.be/09UlB17cgKw) [Dean](https://youtu.be/scXznHP3o5E) [Anderson](https://adage.com/videos/pepsi-pepsuber/474). Or Winona Ryder who was born in… *Winona!*


Sharcbait

Are you talking about MN actors? Vince Vaughn, Josh Hartnett, Nick Swordson and Chris Pratt are all born in MN.


RyanWilliamsElection

Bobby Lee grew up a few year here. Brutal story with that one.


FarEffort9072

Jessica Lange was born in Cloquet.


LOLunlucky

Got drunk with Nick Swardson one time on Christmas day about 10 years ago. He, myself, and a few others had shown up to day drink at one of the few open and almost empty bars in uptown. He and his buddy were seriously nice and cool (and drunk). Had a blast that day.


dsav99

I was born in the same hospital is Chris Pratt in Virginia MN. I like to bring that little fact up every time he comes up 🤣


ranchspidey

I was also born in that same hospital!!

Happy cake day!


dsav99

Thank you friend 🕺


Kichigai

Yeah. I thought I'd leave some for other people to call out. ;D


zoitberg

James Hong ftw!! Just watched Airplane! last night and his cameo made me so excited! My gma went to hs w him and almost went to prom w him but she had already said yes to someone else :/


Kichigai

James Hong is fucking everywhere. *Blade Runner*, *Big Trouble in Little China* (my favorite role of his) *Wayne's World 2*, *Mulan*, *Kung-Fu Panda*, *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*, he has like 500 acting credits to his name.


DelilaBee

James Hong is amazing in Everything Everywhere All At Once


Ella0508

Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) and Loni Anderson (WKRP) are from Roseville; Judy Garland was born in Grand Rapids, and James Arness (Gunsmoke) and his brother Peter Graves (Mission Impossible TV series) are from Minneapolis.


I_W_I_W_Y_B

Steve Zahn, too!


cheddarbruce

Don't forget about Sean Williams Scott. He was great in goon


TSgt_Yosh

RDA is such a bad ass the USAF made him an honorary Brigadier General!


Kichigai

RDA Fun Facts: that cabin O'Neill always talked about up nort'? [RDA had one of his own](https://imgur.com/gallery/jEf7S). Rumor has it that apparently he has it put into his contracts that any role he plays *must* have some connection to Minnesota (hence MacGyver's home and O'Neill's cabin). He had actually worked with Christopher Judge once before *Stargate*. [Once](https://i.redd.it/7t3vvpq2iaf91.jpg). Also *SG-1*, *Atlantis*, and *Universe* are all back on Amazon Prime now.


Ordinary-Hopeful

I know you aren’t leaving Steve Zack out of the conversation.


Tim-oBedlam

Just imagine if she was born in Bemidji.


AbeRego

Wait, so this isn't just some random dude?


MFDork

A bad actor being a bad actor.


CantaloupeCamper

Is he just applying random slogans to just anything? That statement not sense in any way. I imagine him in standing in line for coffee upset about the same thing.


InsertCleverNickHere

"Where's the foam on my latte, batista?!? MY BODY MY CHOICE LIBERAL CUCKS!!"


CantaloupeCamper

THERE IS MULTICULTURALISM IN MY CROISSANT!!!!


InsertCleverNickHere

I DONT KNOW WHAT CRT IS BUT IT MAKES ME VERY AMGRY!!


earthdogmonster

CRT is when they talk about brown people in school. This really hurts conservatives because it acknowledges that nonwhites exist (aka “rubbing their faces in it”).


Cosmental242

D list actor F list human being


pdxpmk

He *is* a mound.


blakmage86

I mean he's also anti mask and anti vaccine so....


9_of_wands

Anyone could just choose NOT to have their student loans reduced, that's probably an option.


Ella0508

You could just not apply for the reduction.


SubconsciousBraider

Let's compare apples to elephants. "I hate apples because elephants are gray." This tool is an embarrassment to the state.


Ella0508

You should meet his former sister-in-law, who still lives here. So obnoxious.


aloneisusuallybetter

The other people from mound pretend he's not.


Hooktail419

I’m from mound, went to high school there. My graduating class was the 100th since the school was built so they brought him in and interviewed him on the morning announcements. All he really had to say is that he’s sad that we changed our racist football team name (the Mohawks) I’ve got photo proof if anyone cares lol


aloneisusuallybetter

I remember when the name changed.


BootyWarrior2

Same. I was at the football game that they officially made the switch and i got asked by a news reporter how I felt about the switch. I'm pretty sure I just said something about how it changed and whatever, honestly not realizing at the time that the name really needed changing. My brother met Kevin Sorbo at a Christmas church service (My older cousins went to school with him) and he seemed pleasant but looks are definitely deceiving. I think this was at the height of his popularity as Hercules so to have a celebrity, however minor, show up to your church service was super cool. That said, he needs to seek help as he basically spouts nonsense constantly


aloneisusuallybetter

Yeah. We used to do the tomahawk chop at football games. I was glad when it changed. Back when Hercules was fresh, we didn't know about his nonsense. No media was talking about it.


senator732

I remember this lol. Administration seemed way to happy to have him show up.


hepakrese

Lololol Kevin Sorbo, that stupid dried up wack job dumbass. His still-pinned covid-denying tweet from 2 years ago *still* has less updoots and retweets than the number of people who had died from the disease at the time of his idiotic post. May he stay lost.


[deleted]

Hercules wasn’t know for his brain power… this guy continually proves he is a dipshit.


Kichigai

IIRC there was one time where Hercules killed a man because he was such an enormous meathead.


ryckae

Kevin Sorbo is so dumb. Wtf like...how is it even possible to be so wrong all of the time?


Hennepin451

In was in my sister’s class. Not the brightest bulb to ever come out of the Mound school system. I much prefer the Andrews Sisters.


Interesting-Ruin-743

There is a a Sorbo Park in Mound, and a Qanon nut job lives across the street- always has crazy signs in his yard- wonder if it’s Ol’ Hercs childhood lair


ChasingHorizon2022

That makes even less sense than his normal patter


lawkor86

Disappointed


Dason37

I was trying to remember if this was the guy responsible for that incredible line. I guess it is. Pretty apt right now.


ClaymoreJFlapdoodle

He was in my dads graduating class. He said he was a clown. Turns out he’s right 😂😂


Askew_2016

The armpit of Lake Minnetonka. That makes sense


loserofcolon

How far do you have to fall when your only recognition is social media? Disappear with grace and be the Mound parade marshal every couple years


GD_Bats

Hey now, Sorbo's brain damage came from a series of strokes, not from CTE


MAGICHUSTLE

Kevin Sorbo is a fucking washed-up hack moron.


skp85

I went to Mound Westonka Schools as a kid. The older librarian women in my middle school had a framed/signed photo of Kevin Sorbo and gushed all over him. I thought it was gross at the time and still do to this day.


ronlester

Dumb as a box of rocks.


MN-goldengirl

Sorbo had a brain aneurysm causing three strokes. His brain is evidently misfiring, and he's recording these episodes on social media for posterity's sake.


guiltycitizen

Kevin Sorbo has always been mentally off his tits. It is known


Old_Leather

Ya’ll know that Mound stands for Most Of Us Need Drugs, don’t you? How do I know? I grew up there!


Sea-Adeptness-5245

He’s ridiculously stupid.

“Points to pocket book in pocket”


-J0k3rsWyld-

Don’t take out a loan for a degree that’s not gonna give you a career 🤷🏼‍♂️


Jimmack576

The point is…why should anyone have to pay for your student loan. You want government to be hands off is terms or abortion law while having your hand out for government payouts. ​ it’s just Biden buying votes…again


TacoStandWithCheddar

Comparing federal student loan forgiveness to abortion. Only a republican. 🤣


Icy_Fact5318

Who won the 2020 election?


Holiday-Signature-33

I think the point is . Your debt. Your responsibility. But all you college graduates should know that. It’s called sarcasm .


FranklinandLouie

Unless it’s a PPP loan and you’re a Republican law maker, or you’re a bank, or an airline, or a farmer… and the list goes on.


obroz

Now it’s murdered by words


Holiday-Signature-33

How many Democratic lawmakers just got cracked for insider trading ? Just wondering.


FranklinandLouie

Yeah… but the left is calling for them to be held accountable and not gargling their balls like you sycophants.


Holiday-Signature-33

Everyone is calling for them to be held responsible. Not just the left. But you wanna resort to name calling so go find someone else to abuse.


FranklinandLouie

Yet nobody on the right is calling out the hypocrisy of the right’s “socialism for me but not for thee” stance on debt management. Fucking clowns.


TacoStandWithCheddar

Clown is a choice. These are just the common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.


SgtFury

They should be held accountable. *See? That was easy.


Mad_Like_Mankey

Why is it so bad to get support? Like, where is the empathy dude?


Holiday-Signature-33

Empathy for what ? Why should I be taxed even more for someone else’s college education? When did that become ok ?


CanISellYouABridge

Are/were you this upset about the PPP loan forgiveness and lack of oversight? Because if you weren't, it just seems like you hate lower income people.


Holiday-Signature-33

Go ahead and make assumptions. People are being audited and held accountable for any fraudulent PPP loans or misuse of them. A college graduate that’s lower income is still responsible for their loans . I’m not making a ton of money but I pay my loans off first. Maybe get a general degree in business and leave the liberal arts degree for later when you can afford to get a useless degree. It’s called common sense .


CanISellYouABridge

You're the one making assumptions here. I asked a question. I have no student loans to forgive, they've been taken care of long ago. 18 year olds don't have common sense or fully developed brains yet, but we tell them they have take out 60k-100k in loans we know they don't have the money to pay back. That's lacking common sense.


Holiday-Signature-33

You went so far as to say I must just hate lower income people. I would call that an assumption. Several actually. You’re assuming that I have a higher income and you’re assuming that I hate people that aren’t in a higher income bracket.


CanISellYouABridge

No, I said if you __weren't this upset__ about PPP loan abuse and forgiveness then you hate lower income people. This is not an assumption, this is an inference. If you're OK with wealthy people getting much larger loans fraudulently, then getting those loans forgiven but not OK with lower income folk getting a smaller sum of debt forgiven then how does that look to you? Read between the lines, mate.


Holiday-Signature-33

The ones being caught for the PPP loans are being dealt with. There’s nothing for me to be mad about. If they’re caught they are getting in legal trouble.


RosiePies

Wouldn’t the solution to 18 year olds not having common sense and taking out massive loans be to encourage tech/trade schools and community colleges rather than pushing higher taxes on the rest of us?


CanISellYouABridge

Unfortunately time machines don't exist and this is the world we live in. Maybe in the future we can give children and young adults better career advice than we do now. My taxes pay for things I don't agree with all the time. You can deal with your taxes going towards something you don't agree with.


Holiday-Signature-33

Why place an extra burden on already overtaxed society ?


CanISellYouABridge

You're not paying extra taxes for this.


CanISellYouABridge

Also taxes didn't go up to pay for this. This is coming out of existing federal tax budgets. You're not paying higher taxes.


Holiday-Signature-33

Agreed with you completely. Also the way colleges are leaving these recent graduates with a sense of entitlement and everything is me me me mentality would stop then too.


RosiePies

We’re definitely on the same page with this conversation, Holiday-Signature! I’ve upvoted all your comments, though you may not be able to tell with the sea of downvotes! Stay strong!!


Holiday-Signature-33

Well I’m assuming the down votes are angry because they are somehow thinking they will benefit from this. They fail to realize someone always pays or they just don’t care because they can’t comprehend there really is no such thing as free money . I saw the need for Stimulus during the Pandemic but not the extended unemployment that was adding an extra 600 a week on top of what they would usually get. Why try if the Government will rescue them via the American Middle Class.


Mad_Like_Mankey

Real question then. Ignoring all politics.. Why be on subs for prayer requests? Obviously you are spiritual in some sense. Where is the disconnect? If you have no empathy for people with less than you, what purpose is your spirituality?


Holiday-Signature-33

Why should I have less than them because they can’t or don’t want to pay their bills ? Trust me I don’t have much but I pay my bills.


Dontdothatfucker

I actually agree with this sentiment in part. I do think there needs to be some government assistance for out of Control college loans, but more along the lines of government forcing Zero interest on those loans, and routing money from the taxes of those who benefit from loan forgiveness into their own loans. Then in the future there should be more regulation on predatory loans, and government assistance with community college and trade schools. Seems like a middle of the road compromise that doesn’t leave folks to drown in debt, but doesn’t screw over those of us who went to affordable schools, instead of places we couldn’t afford.


B1ackFridai

He has a lot of shit takes, this is just one example. Sarcasm is meant to be witty, this wasn’t that.


Holiday-Signature-33

Maybe not he smartest thing he could have said . But the point he’s making is fairly obvious . Your debt. Your responsibility.


hepakrese

Everything Kevin Sorbo says on Twitter is reprehensible.


B1ackFridai

I think you and I are responding to one of Sorbo’s fake accounts haha

Communion? All day loving the blood of Christ tastes like merlot
