  • As others have said if you’re buying a cheap, generic PC you should probably buy it from a recognizable brand or retailer. It’ll be less likely to break and more likely to be covered/fixable.

  • That’s such a silly argument. Nobody is forcing you to buy Fortnite skins when your kid is starving. Monetary incentives are how the things people want get created. Yes, there would still be plenty of content on the internet if we banned monetization of digital goods but it would be overwhelmingly incoherent and low quality.

    It would also destroy the livelihood of millions of people. What about their children? Do they not deserve to eat?

    Edit: I should add that it would be more reasonable for you to say “food and healthcare should be available to everyone”. That’s not an unreasonable statement.

  • As others have said it is never too late to learn a language. Our brains are just as capable, if not more, when we’re adults.

    I’m also a firm believer that comprehensible input (listening and attempting to understand) is the best way to learn a language. You can’t start with high level speech though. You need to start with speech that is aimed at beginners or you won’t understand enough for it to be effective.

    Studying vocabulary in parallel helps a lot because it helps you learn niche words that don’t come up often in normal speech.

    The typical recommendation with comprehensible input is to listen for around a thousand hours and then start practicing with conversation and books as well.

    Good luck! Remember that with enough dedicated time you can learn anything. :)

  • I don’t understand how they could be taking such a big loss on those accounts. Federal reserve rates are above 5%…

    Also, it’s hard to feel bad for the bank taking a billion dollar loss when they have like 1.5 trillion dollars in assets.
