sorry if this is a stupid suggestion, but have you tried intentionally adjusting for the fact that you tend to underestimate what fraction of consumers have bought a [whatever]?

Thought process: Tesla is valued at like a trillion, but that’s frequently considered overinflated. But not SO overinflated that nobody believes in it. They’re probably making like an order of magnitude less in revenue

i have 1060 words out of 1500 (so like 1350-1650 per internet) w/ no conclusion… i think i need another body paragraph but I have no good ideas & last time that happened my teacher more or less saw through it (& my arguments are already more dubious)

Alternatively I could just revise & try to make things longer but that’s no fun

#20808

wrote a (short) conclusion and remembred the one passage I haven’t covered yet!!! No revising win (Also I have taken more care than normal to hopefully fix the main thing that comes up so it’s not that necessary. but i do just not want to do that much given it is due in 20 minutes (technically))

2 p.m. is the standard for these essays for… some reason

but our specific teacher has a unofficial policy of “I’m not checking that until tomorrow”

apparently the last two years the papers were due at 5 p.m. but you know that just wasn’t sustainable.
