20 to 80% off qualifies as way more than "slightly"

This is the first launch of the program and they're still in a pilot phase. It will presumably roll out to more states (maybe all?) Next year

Right or wrong, they committed a crime at the time. A change in law doesn't really invalidate the crime committed. That differs from this where the conviction itself was based on faulty evidence or procedure.

Just for clarity sake, I don't really agree with this but I do think it's a valid difference between the situations

A prison system of labor camps. It's literally the definition and part of the Russian name for them.

Gulag, (Russian: “Chief Administration of Corrective Labour Camps”), system of Soviet labour camps...

My group is almost exclusively dads with fulltime jobs. We play remote (FoundryVTT), run one game a week that runs between 2 and 4 hours.

Full disclosure I'll say that remote is about 85% as good as playing in person, but I'll take 80% and easy scheduling over 100% but constant missed games or conflicts

What's the point of a separate community if you don't post relevant content to them

Just be thankful for areas that actually have training courses. In my state it's literally a fee and a signature. Really not even that anymore

Given inflation, current estimates put the cost of a 4 year degree at about 180k in 2040, so not an unreasonable savings estimate. That number is both available from online estimates as well as what my own financial planner gave me when discussing my daughter's college fund

In another country where this wasn't relevant perhaps?
