  I mean children can get debit cards. Having a bank account has never and should never be a bench mark of age.

  Heaven sake I had a bank account at 12 years old.

  Unsecured Credit should realistically be straight up illegal to give to children.

  So no it’s not a huge deal at fucking all. Unless you have a sizeable amount of financial literacy. And don’t understand what a credit vs debit card actually mean.

  At best you can make a weak argument that having to get a credit card is annoying. But 300-500 dollar low limit free credit card with no requirements or annual fees. Is available basically from every bank in the world.

  Get it and throw it in a draw to rot for literally forever. Hell you can even cut it in half it and freeze the card. Making it a zero security risk.

  Then you have a unusable, frozen account. That exists purely as proof that your old enough to have a credit card. Even if it’s stolen it’s unusable and still perfectly safe.

  So you don’t even have to care about data breaches beyond what you currently do.

  Delulu is just a spin on another word, rizz is the same

  Random affixes are common enough that it’s normal no matter how weird any given one is

  But skibidi is literally a filler nonsense word. It’s like if we just put random scatman words and beatboxing noises into the dictionary. It’s babble, which would mean it has a place in the dictionary as an example of babble or gibberish.

  But it doesn’t actually /mean/ anything by it self. So it’s just weird to see it getting added as a “word”.
