If I ever become head of state in a communist dictatorship I'm banning humidity. It's at 83% right now. Just sitting and slowly chewing my food makes me feel like standing in a shower.

    yea humidity makes it awful. like i prefer a 40 degree temperature with low humidity than a 30 degree with high humidity. it fucking sucks taking a shower and coming out sweating 😂

    Humidity also makes cold feel worse. For example -10C in Leningrad feels nightmarish, while the same temperature in, say, Kogalym would see people walking around with no hats

    I am banning the sport cricket in India..I don't know what's wrong with this sub continent but most of the males are addicted to this colonial game of UK🇬🇧 and which requires you to spend 5+ hrs each game.

    The first time I heard of cricket was as a child when reading Douglas Adam's H2G2. It seemed so ridiculous I immediately assumed it was a fictive sport invented by the author. How wrong I was.

    Also it's not just India, it's in a lot of places they managed to get their grubby colonialist mitts on

    But our Indian sub continent got the most addiction. Our corrupt cricket board get billions of USD from government , scams, advertisers. Most people are just glued to this sport for hundreds of hrs for no reason whatsoever. I will make a rule, any person watching even 1 minute of this match will get 100 lashes from the state. I know it's Saudi Arabia style but that's how you can remove the addiction.

    Agreed.

    It's stuff like this that makes me realise how much better a head of state Thomas Sankara was than I'll ever be though. Homie refused to use airconditioning in his office because it was considered a luxury in Burkina Faso.

    I believe Suslov was another revolutionary figure who eschewed the privileges that he had access to on the grounds that if it was good enough for the masses then it's good enough for him.
