there was a f*ck*ng weird question about castro.

i am not undermining the integrity of the test in saying that, i really really really really really don't think.

who the f*ck is castro?

the name... it gets me thinking about cuba... and about cuban cigars.. and about how i have no freaking idea about politics in the region or about US and cuban interactions or about any of it.

and it was a reading comprehension sort of a task so none of that matters.

but the whole thing just seemed garbled. and i couldn't parse any of it.

and it was superweird. and it was the only one i was like wtf. no compute.

no compute.

no compute.

and the others felt prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp computed. there we go.

irrespective of the content. but dependent on the meaning...

but that one everything felt garbeled.

and i was trying to tell myself 'don't worry about the content or about what is' saying or about the tone of the passage don't worry about what it's saying about politics or whether it's saying anything about politics. don't worry abotu the intent of the author or about whether it's true or whatever. just do a synonym search to find the synonym fo rthe answer to the freaking question.... but i couldn't. and i ws thinking there was interference. like when people don't reason about a particular topic when tehy reason it okay with the topic removed. e.g., some people can see a fallacious argument unless it's an argument about abortion or something. i kept trying to remove interference because i thought that was happening because castro freaks me out, i don't know why...

but it didn't compute.

i wonder if it was teh time waster.

if they were curious about how much time you spent staring at that one once you finished the section. because some people might have gotten stuck on it indefinately like with trying to shove a breathing tube down and it won't go while a nurse stands there with a tracheotomy tray...
