Which newbies need to know that? You already said you don't, why do the other newbies need it?
I've been using Linux on the desktop for 20 years, and managed a whole farm of them professionally on several occasions. While I know the difference between /bin, /usr/bin and /sbin and why it's like that, it's hardly something I really need to think about unless I'm building a software package, something a newbie user would never do.
I forgot about Aldi, since we don't have it around where I live. Aldi is probably better. I don't know about how the pay compares, but they respect their workers enough to let them work sitting, and that alone propels them to the top.
Isn't Costco the least shitty retail job? That's what I've always been told. I'd love a similar analysis of Walmart and Dollar General, so I have some frame of reference.
Person of the Year is not an endorsement of their practices, it's really just whoever dominated the news cycle that year. Both Hitler and Stalin have been Person of the Year. Sometimes it's not even people, like "The Computer" in 1982.
This is largely an American problem, although it is spreading due to global media.
I blame it largely on Calvinism and the prosperity gospel:
"Good things come to good people" -> "If good things didn't come to you, you're not a good person" -> "Poor people are poor because they are bad people, and we should not help them" -> "It's okay to help billionaires, they wouldn't be rich if they weren't good people"
A lot of poor people have this view in the US, which you would think would make them reconsider it, but they solve this with mental gymnastics: They and their in-group are good people, so obviously it's okay to help them and the good things are coming any second. Another reason not to tax rich people, they'll be one soon!
The article doesn't mention ages, but another article says she groomed them from age 15.
However, I have to remind you that language is under constant development, and "paedophile" has long lost its original meaning. It now covers a much wider age range, although counting adolescents is a stretch.
I guess they could have been making some interpretations of their hand gestures, deliberately ignoring that Venezuelan fishermen drug smugglers are unlikely to know the hand signals of American military?
When American photographer Carl McCunn was stranded in Alaska, he was discovered by a state trooper plane. He cheerfully raised his fist in celebration. The plane left and never came back. Between this incident and perishing there he read up on hand signals, and learned that he had inadvertently signaled "all is well".
No ally of the US would look at them the same way ever again. To be fair, they already don't, but this would propel the US from "bad ally" to "second cold war enemy".
I can only imagine what you're going through right now. I hope things get better, and I hope you will feel safe talking to someone in real life about this.
While I do not have any personal experiences to relate, I want you to know that it's perfectly normal and not at all pathetic to react this way from someone attempting suicide. That is a horrible experience, and it's perfectly okay both to be traumatized from the experience and to be worried about the future.
Is there any way you could talk to a therapist of some kind? Maybe you would feel more comfortable talking to someone about it if they were not in your circle and there was confidentiality?
The key to becoming bilingual is consistency. Kids quickly settle on one language if they catch on that everyone in their sphere speak it. Therefore it helps a lot to have certain people in their lives exclusively speak the minority language around them. Otherwise they'll soon stop speaking the other language.
Also, it's important that kids overhear adults conversing in both languages. If all conversation only happens between adults and children, they are in my experience a lot less likely to want to speak that language, and they also miss out on a lot of vocabulary. Reading books helps with the latter, but not the former.
If this kid is growing up in Poland, they will inevitably learn Polish. The parents don't need to, and also shouldn't, be the ones teaching the child polish. That job is best left to native Polish speakers. This will ensure that the child learns both languages well. There's no point in the child learning how to speak polish with a heavy Ukrainian accent.
