7. What's the most that you've ever spent on a meal?

Couldn't be more than $50, and even then only because of lots of booze.

8. Would you rather be deaf, blind, or Donald Trump's mistress?

As much as I can't stand Trump he's gotta be limp dicked at his age and even if not ****ing him only lasts 30 seconds tops and then the rest of my privileged day is my own.

9. Tell us a joke.

What do you call a Norwegian hooker?

A fjord escort.



10. What's a dish or ingredient that you refuse to eat?

Something Chinese probably.

11. What's something cool or interesting about where you live that most tourists or newcomers wouldn't know?

**** if I know or care.

12. What is a trend that you see and would like to go away in a genre that you follow?

Is retro thrash still a thing? I don't follow genres though tbh.

Bonus question: What do you call this animal?


Who's a big dumb doggy? You're a big dumb doggy, yes you are!

One more point about public vs private vs home schooling is that I think the socialization aspect is overstated to a degree. Yes it's important to socialize with others, but I don't imagine that poor inner city schools help to socialize their students with anyone other than poor inner city kids, and well-to-do schools only help to socialize students with other well-to-do kids. So as good as socialization is the current system also reinforces class power structures by making sure that poor kids only know how to relate to poor kids, middle class kids only know how to relate to middle class kids, and rich kids only know how to relate to rich kids. Plenty of public schools aren't so segregated but I don't think most people in public schools are really dealing with other people in drastically different walks of life.

7. What's the most that you've ever spent on a meal?

About £40 but I was buying for other people too. We ate together. I'd spend more, just up to now, I haven't. Most I've spent on myself is a bit less.

8. Would you rather be deaf, blind, or Donald Trump's mistress?

Trump's mistress for sure. I don't want to lose my sight or hearing for a start, but I'm not against the man on man action, and Donald seems like he has good bants. I'd also try and talk him into chilling out a bit and leaving Twitter, for everyone's sake.

9. Tell us a joke.

How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman? None.

10. What's a dish or ingredient that you refuse to eat?

Goats cheese.

Oh and halal meat obviously 👌🐸

11. What's something cool or interesting about where you live that most tourists or newcomers wouldn't know?

We have pigeons that do backward somersaults.

12. What is a trend that you see and would like to go away in a genre that you follow?

Passing off Trap as Grime.

Bonus question: What do you call this animal?


That's a friendly looking dog, mate.

Exactly, so you're basically supporting the capitalist power structure atm.

For about three years I taught some classes with extreme cross-cultural demographics. Everyone says that so I’ll give an example to be clear: kids born in the Middle East, rich white kids, poor black kids, poor white kids, middle class black kids, even intellectual disparities with IQs ranging from 70 to 130 - all in the same classes. The good point was the kids eventually found that every group has statistical outliers. The well-read well-behaved black kids from the projects, rich white kids who couldn’t ****ing read, nerdy looking kids who couldn’t do math, whatever stereotype, it was never universal and exposure to that forces most people to understand that you have to deal with people case-by-case.

But whether it’s work or school it’s wrong to force people to interact. The most profound lesson was people get ****ing sick of each other. Whatever their background, introverted kids were constantly being mind raped by the whole scene. A 13 year old kid who decides to walk out of class and sit outside in the quiet will be arrested. ARRESTED! If I lived a thousand years that would never make any ****ing sense to me. The audacity and arrogance of the school system is unbelievable. I was even told it was illegal for me to quit without notice like I did lol. I’m like **** you bitches I’m grown. But kids should be able to say **** this **** when they get fed up, too. Adults don’t really know what’s best. We **** these kids up until they can’t think straight. It’s insane.

Desegregation makes a lot of the problems worse.

How so?

That's a legit question btw. I'm asking as someone whose familiarity with public schools is as a student who was more concerned with surviving school than critiquing it.
