So what if it amortized? That's why Apple made that investment in the first place, so that they can make profit out of it. If any app developer tried to re-create it now it would cost them much more than 30% of their revenue.

The fact that they end up in ED is actually proof that girls act on their suicidal thoughts in non-effective ways. Boys who shoot themselves in the head, or jump from the window, or in front of the train, they don't end up in ED, they

A theory I once read goes like this: in the past it was quite common for lawyers, directors, managers to marry their secretaries, which was the way for them to jump to higher social class. Now, a director making advances towards their secre

Working class people alone wouldn't create shit. They have to be provided tools, trained to do the job, and then overseen, so that they do not fuck it up. That's why many industries prefer to replace them with robots. You vastly o

I will go on a limb and say: buy them an iPhone and a Macbook and teach them how to use iCloud for backups. For cognitively imparied people you cannot do much better than that.
