School had us wake up earlier than desired, homework was a chain around our necks with unspeakable consequences had it remained incomplete, peer pressure had us do crap to seem cool and stick with the crowd, societal expectations required us to act a certain way and be presentable in ways which we were not. People like to call it growing up, but really, it's just instilling obedience to willingly slave away as the so-called working class.

I had the opposite experience. I worked hard to always finish my homework, but many of my classmates completely blew off both homework and classwork and still "passed". I knew kids who had all F's but would get their grades suddenly changed at the last minute to a C- because if the school failed too many kids they would lose federal funding.

Felt like the value of my high school diploma plummeted considerably when I realized just how many of my graduating class were completely checked out for the entire curriculum. I dunno how different it is now; I graduated nearly two decades ago.

It seems like it's been that way continuously since then, and then during the pandemic and a third of the student body didn't have the means to attend Zoom School for 2 years and they haven't caught up.

Holy shit, I have never seen that before... that may be the best recovery I've ever seen in any fight.

Just... holy shit.

Potentially critical error -> I win.

In approximately one second.

Damn.

Yeah that was Joaquin Buckley back in 2020. Career defining highlight for sure. He's still in the UFC and highly ranked. Super dynamic striker. Guy he slept is Impa Kasanganay. Also a great fighter but not in the UFC anymore. MMA is so fucking exciting.

That's when I started getting chunky and mostly never stopped, depression followed at 10/11, sleep went somewhere in the early teen years...
