AITA for convincing a friend to run for an officer position in a club just so someone else didn’t win?
So, this happened a few months ago but it’s been gnawing at my brain and I want to know if I did the right thing. I asked some online friends for advice beforehand and there’s a chance they’ll see this- if you do, please don’t expose my blog, thanks.
Context: I (16F) am a member of my school’s Science Olympiad team, and held an officer position the past school year (my sophomore year/10th grade) and ran again for next year (my junior year/11th grade). I am using everyone’s ages at the time this happened to the best of my knowledge and memory. This takes place in a United States high school, and our Olympiad team is tied to a junior high school Olympiad team from the junior high on our campus, which we do all of our meetings with.
A group of my friends (17F, 16F, 16F, 15F) went out for the 4 out of the remaining 5 high school officer positions, and odds looked pretty good we’d win all of our races, thus having 5 out of 6 high school officer positions total. Usually it wouldn’t really matter who won anything, it would just be nice if we were all officers together. The only issue is that there are two other people on our team who are friends with each other (17F and 15F), but have a history of bullying and toxic behavior including towards people on the team. They ran for literally every single position, as you are allowed to run for multiple, and we were concerned they would use them to abuse power.
As I said before, it seemed likely we would win the positions we wanted, but this would leave secretary open, as the only two people running for secretary were one of my friends who I already mentioned, who was more likely to win president, and one of the girls I had mentioned we didn’t want winning anything in case of an abuse of power, so there wasn’t even a chance of a “third party” winning. The only reason we knew for sure who was running for what before the election started is my officer position (which was officially still held until the results of the election were released) enabled me to look at the sign up form, which I created.
My best friend told me she and another friend had worked out a plot to keep secretary out of this girl’s hands. She wanted me to ask a younger friend of mine (13NB, uses he/they for clarification) who was one of the eighth graders on the junior high school team to run, since he is going to be a freshman on the high school team this upcoming school year, and anyone with a year’s experience at any level who will be at least a freshman is allowed to run for a high school officer position.
I said I didn’t want to ask them, and I had multiple reasons why.
First, I already convinced him to do the high school team in the first place when he wanted to stick to the junior high one for another year (9th graders can be in either the junior high or high school competing divisions in Science Olympiad even though most schools in my area classify 9th grade as high school). Nobody asked me to do that, they’re just a smart kid and I thought it would be a waste of potential for them not to. Because of this I wanted him to choose to go for on officer position or not for himself at least. Second, I feel bad using a kid as a pawn in a drama he’s not involved in, even though it’s for a good reason. Everyone else involved in this was already in high school at the time. Third, they don’t even know about the stuff the girl we wanted him to run against has done, because she is nice to them specifically and they are friends. If he figured out we were plotting for him to beat her I think that would damage his trust in me and my friendship with him.
Here’s where I think I might have been an asshole. I gave in and asked them anyway, because my friends all seemed convinced this was the best course of action and I didn’t want them getting mad at me, and I still strongly felt this girl getting elected would be bad for the team I’ve worked so hard to support and for the other team members’ (mostly people I am friends with and care about) mental and emotional well being.
My friend did run, they took my suggestion to run for secretary and signed up to run for that specific position. The girl we didn’t want winning somehow beat them by two votes, so I guess it didn’t matter anyway.
In case this influences anyone’s opinion, I will tell you that we were probably right that this girl should not have been an officer. I was hoping she would mature in an officer position, but she didn’t. She’s still been saying nasty shit behind people’s backs (so has the other girl we didn’t want to win, though she didn’t win anything as we correctly predicted our wins in the other five positions). She’s been half-assing all her officer responsibilities and complaining about them constantly even though she signed up for this, and I have already been forced to do some things that were supposed to be her job.
I know it doesn’t matter now anyway, but I still kind of feel bad for using a (at the time, he’s 14 now) 13 year old as a pawn in a plot especially one that’s a good friend that I care about. Was I the asshole for doing that?
What are these acronyms?

As expected, today was quite busy. I have a lot to do this week, and I can't wait for it to be over. The only thing keeping me motivated is the upcoming trip. Still, I'm trying to take each day as it comes and do my best.
What I’m really happy about is that I managed to write a lot of posts. I had a sudden boost of inspiration and spent three hours writing. Even though this wasn’t planned, I chose to stay in the flow state and postpone the other tasks that needed to be done—now I have some regrets, but inspiration doesn’t come to me often, so it is what it is.
Now, my accomplishments:
As I said, I wrote a lot, which is a relief.
I ate quite healthily, but I had to finish the pancakes (that’s non-negotiable).
I moved my body and enjoyed it (workout already posted).
I had my Japanese lesson and learned about adverbs.
I talked to my father, and we laughed together.
I took a nap in the afternoon because my energy levels were pretty low.
I brainstormed ideas for upcoming posts.
I attended my dance class (and it was awesome).
I watched a travel vlog, which motivated me to keep working so that I will reach my goals.
I did my skincare routine.
And I journaled a bit (to be honest, nothing really bothers me, so all I do is write a gratitude list).
What could’ve gone better: my Olympiad work... I was hoping to start one of the last essays I have to do, but I got caught up with the posts and couldn’t. To make up for today, I’ll prioritize it over the following days.
I hope you had an amazing day, loves! ☀ Keep going! Rya

i made it into science olympiad👍 but i still have to do the placement test. we have three team levels only the top one goes to states and potentially nationals i think but everyone does like invitationals and stuff so it's still fun. you also choose what events you want to do in this part but i don't really know what i want to do. definitely forestry but i don't know what else. write it do it sounds fun and so does codebusters but i don't really know if i'd be good at them. i feel like the study events like astronomy and the binder/identification events like fossils are like the safest options for me. disease detectives and forensics also both sound pretty cool.... my dad is a physics professor so i'm sure if i did a physics thing like optics or a build event like flight or towers or whatever he'd be good help. it seems like people either love or hate builds though and i really have no idea where i'd fall.

The gifset you just shared - TALK TO ME ABOUT IT!! What’s going on in Caleb’s head !!
( in reference to this post! )
oh god okay on every level Caleb is a mess emotionally both here and in the scene before this, where Hale-Dolores revealed he's the 278th copy of himself. I'd love to get into discussing all of the fidelity testing stuff some other time but I'm just. gonna keep it simple and keep my focus here for now. Or try to at least.
He knows he failed, because obviously the original Caleb was killed before he could stop her — but he's still in a state of disbelief that Hale has already won that war they were fighting. That it's been 23 years since it happened in the first place.
This scene in particular pays homage to the Woman in the Red Dress scene from the M/atrix. It's just that instead of a digital training simulation, this is the real, physical world.
All Caleb really knows right before this moment is that he has to get out of the Olympiad building and get away from Hale and that's what he tries to do, running away in a blind panic while Hale and her guards slowly pursue him.
In a previous reblog, I once noticed that when everything freezes, it's like Caleb instinctively freezes too, but he realizes pretty quickly that he's not stuck in that state because he's not a human anymore and he's not controlled by the tones anymore either.
It might just be the residual band geek in me having a field day here, but one thing no gifset can capture is how powerful the music scoring is in this particular scene setup. I literally can't get over how good it sounds.
youtube
When Caleb first runs out of the room where Hale is sitting, his motif plays, faster and more disjointed than we've ever heard it before, and here it's accompanied by a suspenseful drum rhythm to highlight the anxiety of the situation. The melody stands out almost triumphantly at the beginning, like it's Caleb's last hurrah in the struggle against Hale, but as it continues on with him being locked in flight mode and feeling desperate to escape even though it's ultimately hopeless here, that same motif takes on almost a...muddy, messy feeling with the way it starts to fall underneath the drum fill.
The motif tries to establish itself again with that first note blaring as a pedal tone when Caleb gets out onto the street and pushes through the crowd, but it fades away quickly, as he starts to understand what the reality of the situation is. Once he sees The Tower, everything is quickly overwhelmed by command tones and static, which he can hear now that he is a host himself.
The music drops out almost entirely by the time everyone in the scene freezes in place, and that's where Caleb gets his moment of clarity and understanding — All of these people are humans, they're all infected and under Hale's control. They do whatever she commands them to do.
She won. She won and there's absolutely nothing he can do about it now.
@spiderwarden i love u 💕
#spiderwarden#big data compiles information on everybody — meta.#META!!!!!#i don't think this is as good as the first one. that my computer ate ;-;#BUT i didn't have all this stuff about how r/amin's scoring reflects caleb's emotions through this before#and i think that was a better addition tbh sfjsdhfhdsfg

hiiiiiiii helloo whats the scioly fedex fic abt exactly? im curiosu
Hi! I apologize for not getting around to answering this earlier but I was busy today.
So scioly is an abbreviation of Science Olympiad. (Other teams call it science O. Those teams would be wrong) scioly has 23 Events in all different scientific disciplines, from events that involve math to those that rely heavily on studying to building contraptions and even a couple of lab-based events. The event roster is different every year, with some events being rotated and some that stay constant.
You are allowed fifteen people on a team to cover these events, and two or three people (depending on the events) can be on each event so most people study 3-4 events.
Then you take the bus, fill it with people and things (including those contraptions mentioned above and lab kits and a gadgillion other things) and drive to competitions. Some competitions are also online. A lot of competitions are hosted by local universities and others are high schools. I won't drop any specific names because I don't want to reveal my location on the internet.
Then there are about three and a half levels of competition: invitationals which are mostly learning opportunities--these will be most of a team's events in a year--then there's regionals. It depends on the number of teams in the state but the top few teams (the entire 15 person squad) will go on to state and then the top team there (might be more in other states) will go on to nationals.
So specific events ge their own ranking in each of those 23 events and that usually comes with medals at college hosted competitions and ribbons at high school competitions. (It's also funny when a member of the scioly team at your school in previous years orders the wrong medals.) The team's score is calculated like golf; (ae says, not fully aware of how golf works) each place in those 23 events are added together and the lowest summation wins.
So take all of that, and slap it onto a fedex high school au :) does it sound like an excuse to infodump about scioly? Because that's a large part of it

Sotka 2025 - official site | honest review
Hello everyone! My name is Alexander, and I am a 2024 graduate. Today I want to share my personal experience of preparing for the Unified State Exam at the Sotka online school, where I successfully studied throughout the school year. After receiving the exam results, I decided to write the most honest and detailed review that will help future graduates make the right choice.
How I came to Sotka My path to high Unified State Exam scores began quite alarmingly. At the beginning of the 11th grade, I wrote a trial exam and received depressing results: 65 points in Russian, 54 in advanced mathematics, and 58 in social studies. It was a real shock, because to enter the desired university, a minimum of 85+ points in each subject was required.
After a long search and comparison of various online schools, I chose the Sotka platform. The main criteria for choosing were: Affordable tuition The ability to study 4 subjects at once Positive feedback from graduates Professional teaching staff Convenient training format Features of studying at Sotka Organization of the educational process I would like to note right away that the training system at Sotka is thought out to the smallest detail. After registration, you get access to your personal account, where you have everything you need: Video lessons on all subjects Lesson plans Interactive simulators Homework with verification Trial exams Webinar schedule I especially liked that all the material is structured by topics and difficulty levels. This allows you to build an individual learning path depending on your initial level of training. Class format Sotka offers several training formats: Recorded video lessons that can be watched at any convenient time Online webinars with the ability to ask questions to teachers Practical classes to practice skills Individual consultations with curators Weekly homework reviews Teachers and support
I would like to separately note the high professionalism of Sotka teachers. All of them have extensive experience in preparing for the Unified State Exam and are experts in subject commissions. In classes, they do not just give theory, but teach how to understand the logic of the exam and avoid typical mistakes. Each student is assigned a personal tutor who: Monitors homework completion Answers questions Helps create an individual training plan Motivates and supports in difficult moments Training materials Sotka uses its own methodological materials developed taking into account the latest FIPI requirements: Detailed notes on all topics Bank of tasks of varying difficulty levels Reference books and memos Training options Step-by-step algorithms for solving tasks All materials are regularly updated and supplemented taking into account changes in the exam format. Knowledge control system To track progress in Sotka, several types of control are provided: Thematic tests after each block Weekly homework Monthly trial exams Six-monthly knowledge assessments Final testing The results of all tests are recorded in your personal account, which allows you to see the dynamics of your training. Additional opportunities In addition to the main program, Sotka offers: Career guidance courses Psychological support Consultations on choosing a university Analysis of Olympiad assignments Master classes on time management My results After a year of preparation at Sotka, I achieved the following results: Russian language - 92 points Profile mathematics - 88 points Social science - 94 points This allowed me to enter one of the leading universities in the country on a budget. Tuition fees One of the main advantages of Sotka is its affordable price. The cost of an annual course in 4 subjects is about 4,500 rubles per month. There is a system of discounts: For early booking When paying for six months/a year For excellent students By promo codes Pros and cons of studying at Sotka Advantages: High-quality educational materials Professional teachers Convenient learning format Affordable price Individual approach Regular knowledge control Psychological support Disadvantages: Good self-organization is required A large amount of homework Sometimes there are technical failures The online format is not suitable for everyone Advice for future students Start preparing in advance, preferably from grade 10 Regularly complete homework Actively participate in webinars Feel free to ask questions Solve as many trial versions as possible Conclusion
Sotka 2025 is a truly effective platform for preparing for the Unified State Exam and the Basic State Exam. All the conditions for achieving high results have been created here: high-quality materials, professional teachers, a convenient learning format and an affordable price. The main thing is your desire to learn and your willingness to study regularly. I hope my honest review will help you make the right choice. Remember that success in exams depends not only on the online school you choose, but also on your hard work and determination. I wish everyone successful preparation and high scores!

Kalevite Kange Rahvas -IT Tales from Soviet Estonia- Chapter 1 "C language" (novel)
Kalevite Kange Rahvas -IT tales from Soviet Estonia-
Chapter 1 ”C Language”
Tallinn State Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia 1975
The computer room’s toasty and black displays of BESM supercomputers lit in orange. A lady with brown hair in white coat wrote on the black board: “printf("Hello, World!")”
The campus of State Institute of Cybernetics is located in front of Akadeemia Road in Tallinn, as a part of Tallinn State University. This laboratory prioritizes research in Information Technology for development of computer networks and Artificial Intelligence under the supervision of the state-level Academy of Sciences.
It is recognized, in Estonia, and in the whole Soviet territory of Occupier, as the center of Information Technology. This country Estonia, formally called “Eesti NSV” (Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic), is the IT hub of Eastern Bloc for heated technology competition during this Cold War with Western world… At least, the Central Government tells us in this way.
“Halloo, wonderful Krõõt! News for you.” The professor came. “Sorry, I’m busy coding…” I complained, then the professor sighed with a big gesture. “As you know, Our motherland is chosen to hold the next Olympiad. Isn’t it good news?” “Of course I understood. But it’s in Russia, not in my motherland though.” I’ve heard the 1980 Olympiad will be held in Moscow. Central TV was crazy to report this so many times as if I felt the special programs were aired every day last year. “Hey, hear me out. It’s to be held in YOUR city of Tallinn… it’s the victory of people!” I’m bored with such flattery. “Return 0;” I'm especially bored by those HIGH-LEVELs following the template of state propaganda.
“By the way, are you so free to write strange code on the board, comrade?” The boss dispatched from Leningrad asked me, it’s normal for such a guy working as a professor of Tallinn State University. I stopped “coding” then wrote and showed him the alphabet “C”… “Haha, you’re trying to joke with me about the Cyrillic alphabet Es? What does it stand for?” The guy is still laughing. “This C language is a new invention in Ameerika… I expected that our professor already knew it in depth.” “Why do we always NEED to know every Western invention? Pascal, ALGOL, BASIC, FORTLAN, PL/I and LISP… they already gave us too much!” He continued complaining: “Krõõt, we’re not students nor testers for Western technology… Do our business!” “Yeah, I remember whatta report to my boss. Will you come this way?”
Of course, the progress is needed in space projects. I left the black board and computers and accompanied by the professor, to the office room.
On the corridor to the office room, there are displays about technological events such as projects of space exploration and national-level networks.
“As you know, our project not only needs hardware seen here, but also software. The report I gathered will tell us obviously…” I pointed at a device, which is made in Estonia; The space station Salyut is equipped with a shining night clouds observer device called Mikron, so we see panels about space science placed here. “Krõõt, what do you mean by taking me to the office?” “I have documents to show you.”
As soon as we arrived at the office, I took documents clipped to one piece from a cabinet. “Time to do our business, just in a minute…” The code name Mars is written on the top. Literally it’s about the flight to Mars: no need to hide it because everyone knows we sent a dozen of spacecraft to the Red Planet. “Look at these new pages, professor.” I showed him a bundle of documents whose page color is different from the older one already changed to faded khaki. “K-G-B?” He scanned the details of new papers received. “Yes, my friend in KGB gave me this document. According to this, the American space agency is accelerating the programming in Space development by unification of codes…” I showed him a sample code written in C language. “This is the textbook used for their higher education. Already taught there.” After he read those tutorials said: “Well, so you study that strange code on black board?” He pointed at the outside of the office door, in the direction of the computer room.
