Damn, I’m fairly dumb but I think I could put this on my resume, I’m a lot higher in literacy than I expected.

i can't interpret warranty instructions, but I've done the credit card thing. I also found the phones from the manufacturer that were compatable with my non-international telecommunications service. (I got the first Sony waterproof release in the age of ricepacks)

So I'm... esoteric.

I saw that warranty one and was like, welp, I'm already in trouble.

Then I got down to the lawyer one, and was like hey only lawyers can understand lawyers in court. A lawyer I am not.
