Wow that sucks.

Yeah. At least I make a pretty decent living for now.

I have two degrees and a certification and I work on an assembly line in a factory. If I had to do it all over again, I'd sure as hell chose a different path.

Guess I should add a link next time. My bad 🤭

I like deezer personally.

Heard of that book from Quinns Ideas. I'll add it to my list of reads.

Dune was supposed to be just a story. You weren't supposed to bring this aspect of the books, or any aspect for that manner, into the real world.

You have been cordially invited to the Ministry of Love good citizen. A black van with blacked-out windows will be arriving soon.

I feel ya. I work next to someone that fits this description and she is fucking exhausting.

While you're at it, if you haven't done so check out any of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchet. Very good reads.

I'd recommend Dresden Files series if you want something with a wizard in it.

I realize this is probably a silly question, but can he even do that? The power of pardon only extends to federal crimes. The state of Michigan could still press charges and there is fuck all Dumb Dumb can do about it. Unless I miss something here.

(This is ignoring whatever his cronies at state level can do to obfuscate the situation of course)

Yeah. That's fair.

Maybe I should clarify. Trust but verify. It's probably better to say not to trust them blindly. From my perspective, this isn't a bad thing.

Some years back i was leaving the gym (I live in the US by the by) and I found a debit card. Now the only identifying info on it was the bank associated and the name and such. I wasnt going to take it home and try and track down the person who owned it. So I took it to the associated bank, grabbed a deposit slip and wrote a note on it and dropped in the deposit box. I assume it was returned, but I honestly don't know. Felt this was the best approach given the circumstances.

That's not necessarily a bad thing if you ask me.

Saving this for later.

So they need more suckers to buy in so the people who have massive stakes in the stock can sell and minimize their losses. Am I following this right?

Predator aliens would at least be better than the aliens from Independence day. As long as you don't present yourself as a threat and they aren't actively hunting you, they will leave you alone.

If I may make a recommendation on this one. I would at least read the first story about the transient riots, which concludes with the issue titled "Up On The Roof." Should give you an idea of what the world is like, the main character. From there, it's up to you if you want to continue. There is a broader narrative after that, but this short bit at the beginning should be enough to get an idea of whether you like it or not. Happy reading.
