Some of my typos occur because my hands still shake a little bit. I learned to touch type when I was 4 years old. I have difficulty merging these two concepts.

Currently, I have to study for a Spanish exam taking place next Tuesday. Because of this exam, I feel less inclined to put forth even the smallest of effort in this post. Effort posting is also innately racist, as it is a concept created by the white society.

It is tempting to slow down in order to produce the most quality of a product one can make however it is unrealistic as people may want your product now than later. It usually tests your stress management skills along with your planning and problem solving skills. I admit that I don’t like working quickly as it tests the above qualities that I am not particularly good at.

Lets looks more deeply into the racism of the effort post. If a cop saw a white man effort posting, he wouldn't give him a second look. However, if a cop saw a brown man posting, he would beat him for being a terrorist.

Right now I am at my partner's house. The internet here is good most of the time, but will completely drop for about 20 minutes every now and again. It did that yesterday so I hope it will not do that again today.

Usually we were taught to work at narrower deadlines in school with new grade levels pushing our knowledge, calmness, and time management skills against smaller and smaller timelines, along with more challenging tasks. All this was meant not only to adhere to certains demands outside of school or college, but to have one shape up as a worker and adhere to an ordained schedule.

I respect that this website is a haven for those people who can't stand the poo poo-posting that occurs on the rest of the internet. I find it soothing. I always put effort into my actual forum posts.

I believe effort posting is also a concept that benefits the heterosexual male. When you put effort in something, it only proves to improve the agenda of the straight white male monarchy in society. poo poo posting, however, benefits everyone.

Sometimes I am at my parents' house. The internet there is patchy at times, but unplugging the router and plugging it back in usually works. Overall I'd say the internet there is better than the internet here.

imgay, I'm sorry, but this post does not count. You have no apostrophe in the word "let's," and you've written "looks" instead of "look." Because this post does not count, you went six minutes between valid posts, and have been eliminated from the challenge.

This is an egregious run-on sentence, or is missing an important comma. This post does not count. But even if it did,

To be honest I think of such a task to be counter-intuitive. As fast as you’re going there always the chance to keep making mistakes, and being pressured to not make mistakes could fulfill making them in the future. It feels like a barrier between what is realistic and what people want, and sometimes I prefer to veer to the former.

The fish shoes that were created during this game were not actual shoes. They were foot accessories. They were also entirely impractical.

Fish shoes as a whole are completely feasible. Some might say that they are uncomfortable or that they smell. I do not think those things are concerns at all.

Fish that are worn on the TOP of the foot are entirely useless. Their very existence was offensive. I had more respect for the crab hat.

The only thing you should be concerned about with your shoes is how good they look. Fish shoes look amazing. I'm not the only one who thinks that either, a panel of your judges agree.

I love shoes. I have some extremely expensive pairs that were probably a bit of poor decision making. I think the judges valued comedy over practicality.

When I select a pair of shoes to wear, I exclusive pick what makes me look coolest. I know that other people like to pick shoes that will last a long time or feel comfortable, but that's not me. All these methods of shoe picking are valid of course.

One method of shoe picking that isn't valid would be picking shoes based on smell. All shoes smell. This was the biggest complaint about fish shoes and it was also the worst.

Good golly. I was literally all stocked up and ready to go for like 10 hours. :laffo:

If it makes you feel any better MMM, this was not particularly valid either " I'm not the only one who thinks that either, a panel of your judges agree." That comma should be either a semicolon with the next word being capitalized, or a completely separate sentence.

What a bizarre way to win final immunity :lol:

I definitely didn't care about whether that should have been a comma or a semicolon though, Dogg.

However, even for what MMM is saying now, I think exclusively applies, not exclusive.

The validity of the way in which he used exclusive is (I agree with you - incorrect) but also slightly up for interpretation. The comma thing is a complete and total grammar mistake in all ways. You cannot write two sentences and stick a comma in the middle.
