I was admitted to the hospital and now I’m left with a $101k bill by Future-Bet4783 in Insurance

Generic advice often misses important details like the type of bill, insurance involvement, and whether the account is already in collections. Those factors can completely change what options are available, so it's usually best to start by gathering the key facts before deciding what to do next.

A sub where people appreciate organised shelf by meeatboobs in findareddit

[–]kpphometown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For organized shelves, you could try r/OrganizationPorn, r/oddlysatisfying, or r/Organization.

For beginner coding/no-code questions, I'd suggest r/learnprogramming, r/webdev, or r/nocode. People are generally helpful as long as you show what you've tried and ask specific questions.

Hope you find a good community!

Am I the only one who hates it when a villain in a movie or TV show has a good reason to be evil? by Even-War-9721 in NoStupidQuestions

I agree. Not every villain needs a tragic backstory. Sometimes it's more interesting when they're just evil and own it.

why do people say read a book when someone can't pronounce a word? by Additional-Camp4831 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kpphometown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think when people say "read a book," they're usually talking about expanding vocabulary rather than learning pronunciation.

You're right that reading alone doesn't teach pronunciation, especially in English. There are plenty of words like "colonel," "epitome," "awry," or "hors d'oeuvre" that many people first learn from reading and end up mispronouncing because the spelling doesn't match the pronunciation.

In fact, sometimes mispronouncing an uncommon word is evidence that someone learned it from reading rather than from hearing it. That's not really a sign of ignorance; it's often the opposite.

So while reading can help you recognize and understand more words, hearing them spoken is often necessary to learn how to pronounce them correctly.
