Additional Information
When there isn't enough space to explain things fully, articles link to this page for further commentary. This isn't always the most cheery content, but is necessary for accuracy and details.
2016 Election
When I showed up to vote in Santa Monica, CA I was told that the voting machine was broken so I had to cast a paper ballot.
Abortion
Though memorable and important, my relationship with Яна was far too superficial to even remotely consider having a child with her.
Blaiz's Audition
I'm unsure if my ex-wife, Blaiz, would admit that the feelings expressed in the clip were in reference to me, but I believe they obviously were.
Blocked Communication Exceptions
Communication blocks may temporarily be lifted in emergency or near emergency situations to transmit critical practical information when intermediaries cannot otherwise be relied upon to relay it.
Cats
It's a common misconception that cats can't talk - they just choose not to.
Cherries & Clover Distribution Conflict
Despite a heroic production and post-production effort, unfortunately the film has never been properly released. Even though we were lucky enough to be offered a deal with Vanguard Films, the release was held up by a conflict with BitMax's Jay Friedman, which turned out to be more than my 21 year old self could overcome alone when I first got to LA in 2010.
Come Back Later
I don't have a newsletter but if you'd like to remember to come back later you could bookmark the homepage.
Door Slam Policy
See Policies: Door Slam.
Environmentalism
I've always liked nature and was the VP of the Environmental Council in high school.
Former British Colony
Though Canada is officially considered British and French, in reality, all but Quebec is more British and American.
Former Millionaire
The only reason I haven't yet regained my millionaire status is because I've been doing things that are more important. See Bitcoin Millionaire.
Group Zero
In 5th grade, this was the table where all the "bad kids" were assigned to sit. It was supposed to be a punishment but it was awesome.
Happy Cats
I think it fair to say that my thoughtful approach to raising my cats had something to do with their happy and lovable personalities.
"Hottest Girls" Vote
I was suspended in 8th grade for organizing a fairly comprehensive vote to rank our classmates' attractiveness.
Life Interference
It has gradually become likely, and finally irrefutably clear, that some unknown party has been seriously interfering with my life for several years, though I still don't know why. Not a single person I've spoken to has offered meaningful help – they just shrug and run away. But I will prevail.
Lithuania Post
Among many other issues, I have had two separate incidents in which important government-issued documents have gone missing when sending them between the US and Lithuania — sometimes even being marked as delivered without getting a required signature. See Blocked Communication.
Matching Pins
Obviously this passive-aggressive, quasi-intentional slight from a details-oriented person wasn't the only reason I blocked him.
My Interest Rate
My Life Story
I'd never approve of anyone else writing about my life since they couldn't do it accurately.
Opportunity
There's nothing that a parasite hates more than being offered a good opportunity to better themselves - because it exposes their charade.
Preservation of the Model
The reason I made this site like a time capsule years ago was to curate our best works in anticipation of cultural decline in the difficult years to come.
Refusing Help
I have seldom refused genuine help – only fake offers from pretenders that want to feel I am too arrogant to appreciate their phoney benevolence.
Repeatedly Stranded
I have a tendency to get stranded on the side of the road a lot. It can be a hassle. But one time, hitch-hiking in the back of a pickup truck under the stars was pretty great actually.
Saint Petersburg 2021
It's impossible to discern what the true reason for the expulsion was, but I suspect he was trying to stop me from moving in on his girl.
Strict Rules
If I were a military commander, and the uniform dictated black shoes, and all 1000 of my men showed up wearing brown, there'd be 1000 fresh graves in the morning.
Vow of Never Lying
Around 2011, I upheld a vow to not lie at all for around 18 months. It turned out to be rather easy and pointless since omitting truths, while not technically lying, can still serve the same purpose nearly all the time.
