Jackie didn't have the Authority

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver – if you recall the dialogue from the jaw-droppingly chaotic parish council meeting – had “no authority” to remove councillors from the meeting. “No authority at all.”

death of the author

A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Authority

You are not an authority and this is a pretty egregious violation of my privacy. If it was happening to even one of them, then, I AM CORRECT AND YOU ARE INCORRECT. End of discussion. This was the only way to prove what I knew to be true. You don't need to like how I did it. It's already over. It's been over for 8 years. I'm just waiting for the thing to catch up...

Punchy Authority

When someone directs you, even if they’re upbeat, they might start rhyming. They get into it sometimes.

These people are usually pleasant, understanding, and nonvolatile. The authoritative aspect is subtle, like describing how they’d do something or not realizing they’re imposing themselves. However, some do exist. You can tell the difference. One is noticeably less pleasant or harder to spend time with.
Always never allow yourself not to be ready when shit goes down man, because you gotta look out!

Person: that’s punchy authority?

Podperson: idk I mean he did tell you what to do and it ended up being funny.. kind of

Person: what? He didn’t say anything! What does that even mean?

Podperson: The instructions were to look out, do you even pay attention when others speak?

Person: Thats whatever the hell you were talking about for ya, I’ll just wing it..
