        I hurt me when I didn’t study anthropology instead. At least then I’d be poor and could comprehend what I’m reading without googling half the words.

      I wrote a paper to call someone out on their incorrect work from their early career while they are now in their retirement.

      I hope they didn’t see my paper or that they just didn’t care. Sorry mate.
