Bonjour, bienvenue chez Hasdrubal. Remade because I have the poasterβs spirit.
This is a personal blog, nothing in this pin here will tell you more than the five most recent posts. I donβt reblog much, you should instead follow everyone I follow so that we have the same dashboard.

President Trump just announced 40% tariffs on people walking around in wool coats and puffer jackets when it’s 19°C and sunny !!
Huge arbitrage opportunity to incorporate an import/export business in French Polynesia, import from France/the EU and export to the US circumventing the hiked EU tariffs
My pen finally had the last drops of ink wrung out from it on Monday, and after work I went to get a refill. I went to a normal stationery shop in a mall, and asked the woman at the check-out for a blue 0.5mm F parker refill, she dug for a few seconds in a pile and found it, scanned it, and I paid for it.
Tuesday, I’m writing in my planner and I see it looks radically different than before, and upon closer examination, the refill I was sold was actually 0.7mm M. I go back after work, I ask for 0.5mm F, she digs around again, and takes one out and scans it. I say hold on can I have a look at this, I was here yesterday and you sold me the wrong thing. Upon closer inspection (reading the text on the packaging) this one is 1.0mm M. I tell her this isn’t what I asked for. She grabs like a fistful and tosses them on the counter and says very rudely they’re all the same. She starts wanting to check out the guy behind me (we’re the only two people in the shop) so I say she’s being unnecessarily rude and I’ll go purchase it elsewhere. She did have a blue 0.5mm F refill, by the way.
Went one floor up to a fancier pen store, guy in front of me was some kind of lawyer getting a fancy pen because his colleagues keep making fun of his small pen/penis [čj. pero/péro], he’s bantering with the saleswoman, I join the fun. I help him pick a titanium Montblanc. After he’s done, I again ask the woman for the refill I want, and she gives it to me. I inspect while she’s ringing me up, and I mention the situation downstairs. She offers if I want to test it out to make sure it’s good, I say I trust her. I pay the identical sum as downstairs.
I suspect many things are like this. The nicer places are just nicer, and intentionally filter out people by means of aura. Decent overlap of available goods, prices identical down to the last crown, I wouldn’t think there’s substantive difference in operating cost.
It is FINE that my boss thinks Latvian is similar to Romanian and that Romanian is a Finno-Ugric language. Her saying this in a conversation I am not part of is not an invitation for me to correct her.

paul kagame pulling a classic high iq tutsi troll by realizing the UK has a HRNGOOG (human rights NGO occupied government), and that when the UK offered rwanda £140m to take some of their deportees, there's no way they were going to actually do it. UK supreme court decided today they were not going to be sending asylum seekers to rwanda, kagame got that bag and didn't even have to do anything for his side of the deal
two months have passed and the UK's HRNGOOG (human rights NGO occupied government) still has not deported a single person, prompting paul kagame to feel bad about the £240m they already got. "we knew you were incompetent but not to this level. it's pathetic, we feel bad for you," he was heard saying, "it's like scamming amazon gift cards out of an old woman with dementia. it just isn't right"
the housing developed (with great tax incentives of course lol) for the purposes of absorbing the UK's deportees has been mostly sold to locals now as paul "the lion of kigali" kagame's government expects the UK to never actually deliver on their end of the atrocious rwanda plan, especially with UK general elections looming, where the so called conservative party will be displaced from power. lol and so on
he should sell an online course on how to construct a get rich quick scheme
following the great success of the original rwanda plan, which resulted in a quarter million pounds being given to rwanda with practically no strings attached, the UK's HRNGOOG (human rights NGO occupied government) presents a lucrative financial opportunity for armenia, botswanna, costa rica, and côte d'ivoire, who have agreed to enter talks with the UK (for a 10% finder's fee for kagame (<- made up, but funny))
as expected, the labour government has scrapped the rwanda deal altogether, prompting kagame to declare "no takesies backsies" (“Within the agreement, there was no clause regarding reimbursement… it never stated that the money would be refunded,” Deputy Government Spokesperson Alain Mukuralinda said on the Rwanda Broadcasting Agency-run state television. “We had an agreement. Both parties signed it, it became an international agreement, we started implementing it, then after that, you wanted out … best of luck,” he said July 9.)
kagame visualized how this would go down with crystal clarity and made the best of it. perfect execution, no notes
yeah that checks out
in an unsourced and probably made-up comment for the sun (a reputable british news agency) US president-elect donald trump floats the idea of deporting illegal immigrants to "rwanda and some other countries." when asked for comment, rwandan president paul kagame rubbed his belly and licked his fingertips and commented "ouais, je pourrais prendre un dessert"
Sorry for the delay in reporting updates in this hot hot story. Our old friend, Pesky Paul as we call him around here, has asked the UK for a payout of £50m because the UK “is being kind of a dick and stopped sending us dough while we move on the opps [President Tshisikedi of the DR Congo]”. Excited to see how asking for money because you stopped getting money is going to turn out. Sounds dumb if you think about it, but that’s asking a lot of the National Audit Office, so he just may get away with it for the Nth time running. Small potatoes though, should have asked for more.
You can tell the people who make those “Happiest Countries in the World” have never left the house nor interacted with another person virtually because how could you possibly conclude the Finnish language even has a word for happiness, let alone them being the happiest people in the world.
