  • I must be the most authoritarian person in the world. At the school where I work I was part of overruling a vote by the junior student council (aged 6-9) to serve sushi as a school lunch simply because it was:

    1. Expensive (Requires unique ingredients that are not offered in bulk by any of the contractors delivering to the school)
    2. Impossible (Requires an impossible amount of work from each kitchen staff member for a single serving for each student)
    3. Poisonous (The fish we can get is decidedly not sushi grade and downright dangerous to eat raw)
    4. Illegal (Related to point 3, serving fish that is not thoroughly cooked would be an actual crime) and
    5. Insane (If you like sushi, can you imagine the disgusting mockery that would be a school lunch version made by three people for 800 students in 2 hours?)

    Still, if a toothless but well meaning food waste campaign is the hallmark of authoritarianism, I was actually part of a small group of people with authority (in this case teachers) that straight up invalidated a democratic vote. I am authoritarian China, but even worse.



  • I still remain convinced that he is completly fucked. This is such an out for the actual oligarchs who run Romania. They get to look good both showing that Romania is not corrupt and that they are not at all a sex trafficing hub by convicting this stranger, who is not actually rich by their standards or part of the ruling class of a crime he has demonstrably commited. I think we are about to see a textbook example of how the law is supposed to work according to liberal textbooks. Andrew Tate will in no way be mistreated while in custody and will be given the very picture of a fair trial. Then he will be convicted and face a sentence not unlike what a normal person would face.

    …And then the Romanian oligarchs will probably get their Schengen deal, but whatever. I don’t expect to get to see my side win, but I do expect to see someone I despise lose pretty spectacularly. I can enjoy that.





  • To save even more money, switch over completely to a diet of things you find on the ground.

    To save even more money, stop bathing, showering and brushing your teeth.

    To save even more money, stop living in a house and move into the sewers.

    To save even more money, stop wearing clothes.

    To save even more money, stop communicating with expensive words, settling instead for grunting, growling and maybe barking like a dog. Consider filing your teeth pointy.

    To save even more money, stop using tools. Emerge from your sewer hideout only at night to prowl the streets on all fours, feral and bewildered, eyes grown pale and milky from years in the dark sewers darting maniacally back and forth while your filth-encrusted teeth and nails twitch in anticipation of the slightest movement.

    This is how I was able to afford a starter house by age 30. This and a $400 000 loan from my father.
