Let’s see:
Blocked the blockade that was blocking the blocade that blocked the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the bullshit war Trump started.

Did I get it right?
Well no. I didn’t.

Trump has announced a blocade to block the blocade that is blocking the Strait of Hormuz which was open before Trump’s war in Iran.

I shed the one excess blocade and now it is correct. And I misspelt blocade the first time.

Hey lay off! I went to Trump University! And all I got was a handshake with a cutout of Trump.

That is actually pretty close to me experiences with privatized education in the U.S.: EECS (2000-2001) & EECS adjacent departments filled with edtech shills (2011-2012) from Google destroying education in concert with bogus healthcare also from Google etc. destroying healthcare. I did get shoved into a straitjacket so I got screwed over by both privatized education and privatized healthcare!
I have experienced life!

Lol..all true though.

Thankfully your natural sciences were still pretty decent between 2001-2011. Those are probably all defunded by now. But Google Gemini continues to misinform people so things are moving in the right direction!

It is all about what your personal and societal goals are! Mine are to generally enrich creepy billionaires like Sundar Pichai and molesters like Trump at great personal cost. I contribute!

But at least now I will remember it better.

Thank you Surfered.

Good morning. I am in India and restarting work today after a choppy 15 years or so. Wish me luck. I will need it. I have a paper to finish in a year.
