    Oh god I suck at transcribing ANYTHING. Seriously it can be the most well spoken English and I still find a way to fuck it up.

    Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. It's now a punishable offense in 47 states.

    Well, clearly it's un-American to have a Christmas tree that small.

    I assumed it's just basically to tell people that they'll have to understand (be proficient in) the language to do it, and so that people won't try to just guess on things like the chinese one if they don't understand it.

    CI does throw in AC's here n there as well, so if it could catch someone on an English CI, it could very easily catch someone on a non English one

    What are the attention checks on them? I've never noticed them on the English ones before.

    Regardless, what's done is done, not like I can take them back. If Amazon wants to question it that hard, that's up to them. I'm confident I gave them right answers, so since they didn't have it locked to people who possess that qualification, I don't think it'll matter.

    Bed time for me though, I get tired waaaay too early to still be up this late.

    Bad logic to use as a justification. If a survey only has a "Greater than 500 HITs" qual, but says Males only in the title, you can't take the survey just because they didn't attach a qual for males only.

    Also the word proficient means skilled or mastered in a particular area. Not a novice giving their best guess based on the image and what the word kinda looks like in English.

    Me: I shouldn't spend any money right now, since I have to stock on some stuff soon.

    Me just now: Oh shit, I got 17 bucks off that speaker that lets me use my echo dot wirelessly, welp, now I'm ordering it.

    I mean, it was a good deal...

    Cause you have to plug it in normally? I find it vexxing when I want to take it into the kitchen with me.

    This is a speaker that it nests in, the speaker keeps it charged and I can just pick it up and move it around with me.

    Amazon and ebay cost almost as much a drug habit did. Sometimes I wish I still got high instead of collecting more crap. Just bought a mini tube amp because some nerds on r/audiophile said it was good for a bookshelf stereo for my office. I have a computer with speakers in there, but for some reason I need something to play vinyl, right? Oh wait, I forgot to order another turntable. :emoji_rolling_eyes:
