ALSO SINCE I HAVEN’T SEEN IT IN OTHER POSTS: the current Public Service Loan Forgiveness program waiver is still going but must be applied for by Oct 31, 2022.

But you gotta do it by the end of October!

Pronouncing each of these in sequence is a very strange and amusing physical sensation, and I highly recommend it.

Very helpful actually
one time in high school my french teacher told the class that his grandmother died and a kid in the class said “je regrette :(“ and the french teacher burst out laughing and was like “you’re gonna wanna say desolé in this context because je regrette means like…. my bad”
You're laughing, he confessed to your grandmothers murder and you're laughing.
Palpatine’s Journey
According to the review I just read this video offers more of an explanation for why Palatine is still alive than the new movie does lmao
