Area man who dropped out of college and worked at his dad’s business before becoming premier and only showing up for work 50% of the time stands on the lawn of the home he inherited from his mom to tell young people that if they can’t find a job it’s because they’re not looking hard enough.

I will quit any service provider for a replacement where I can 0 out to a real human on the very first tree option.
I will do everything the harder (better) way rather than use an AI assistant.
I will never posit "literary" fiction as distinct from speculative fiction.

I do not like the outcome of cataract surgery. When they said I'd be able to see without my usual glasses, but need reading glasses, somehow I thought they meant for reading books. But I can't read my phone without them. So now I'm carrying around glasses that I need to constantly put off and on.

I got too many of these wrong... and am afraid to google up the contexts.
