^ he should've started shaking violently trying to maintain his stance, then eventually about to tip over backwards... and then put the one hand behind him to keep his balance.

Amateur.

The block puzzle doesn't require the blocks to be inserted in only one particular orientation in the holes! Nor are there identically shaped holes which are supposed to accept different blocks and which can only be distinguished by color codes which one can never remember and by tiny little symbols that are almost impossible to see. Nor is the receptacle facing away from you on the far side of the desk!

I agree. Manuals are so hard to read. The tiny labels and embossed symbols on the cable aren't worth bothering with and, the physical strain of turning a computer case around is rediculous.

Notice the 3.5mm TRS for speakers? A lot of normies would have a huge problem with that. Can't rely on color. They aren't always matched. Also, red/green color blindness is really common. I'm familiar with the symbols, but not everybody is.

Also notice there's apparently no video output connected.

yeah, this is "kinda old." and one those groan-worthy pieces of preposterous advice in the debt, financial responsibility world along the lines of Susan Orman.

Eh, there is some truth to it though. Most people are too stupid to understand the concept of paying off debt early to save on interest. They receive a bill for $x. They pay $x.

Even if it's a credit card with 25% interest, they still see that "minimum payment" amount and just do that.

Ultimately, I see some decent advice there - in that making sacrifices such as not getting new cars, getting income by other means (renting out your place and living in a lower cost of living place), and not going out to eat every week can really help you get off debt much quicker.

Uh, everything was gifted to them, including her nepotistic stroll into that job, lol. You can't easily do smart things like rent out your house and move in with mom unless mom just gives you that house. That's the problem with this statement and especially her claim at the end: "If I can do it, you can too!" No, just no. Essentially no one (that would maybe benefit from such advice) can do what she did.
