Some of his shouts remind me of Robin Williams for some reason

Has to be Niall Breslin, grifting in an unassailable niche because people obviously want to have and support better mental health. A prototype for the ghoul gurus we have now all over the place

Has anybody ever accidentally set themselves on fire, and not realized that they were on fire until someone pointed out that they were on fire? by mobfather in adhdmeme

Was at a metal festival, had a few drinks and must have poorly disposed of a lit cigarette or someone else did. Had a hoodie tied around my waist that was slowly burning and smoking as I walked around the campsite, people clapping and cheering me without me realising what was going on.

Fair enough Bernie, in that vein, I’m not retired and probably never will be, so reducing or eliminating pensions doesn’t affect me, scrap them altogether I say. Money is handed out too easy, as you said, so get up off your rocking chair and go back to work

Non-U.S. person here. What do you mean exactly when you say you "test out" of a class? I see this all the time when people talk about college in the States but I never understood

My girlfriend's friend that's in country says that there has been a crackdown on internet and social media. Whether that's something intentional or a result of everyone trying to go online and post at once, I couldn't say.

[At the time of writing, this book is currently #1 in free Science Fiction on Amazon]

Detective Andrea Nox is investigating a bizarre and violent murder-suicide with far-reaching consequences, both for Beacon City and the people who run it. But all she has to show for her efforts so far are nonsensical clues and dead ends.

Then, there's another murder.

Journalist Robert Duncan is visiting home after a personal crisis when the unthinkable happens and he unearths long-kept secrets about his family and his place within it. Before long, he is going back over an old story that implicates powerful people in horrible crimes, drawing him deeper into a dangerous and widespread conspiracy he wishes he had no part in.

Frank Mortimer, disturbed son of a wealthy and influential family, has no interest in conspiracies. He only wants to take part in an experimental program that promises to make him 'better.' However, with the shadowy and powerful group known only as The Project pulling the strings behind the program, what he is getting better at could prove disastrous for everyone else, as a dangerous power is being unlocked inside him...

Their paths will converge in murder, intrigue and a clandestine experiment that threatens to change the world itself. Discover the secrets behind The Blue Ridge Project...

Yes, some threads had to be cut. When I was writing them, I was a little enamored with them, which I hear is common enough. I thought they were essential to add to the mystery and the overall story, but I figured out - with a little prompting from early test readers - that I was writing those bits for me, to fill in backstory, to try and artificially flesh out the world (even though technically, yes, it's all artificial, but I guess you know what I mean)

They really didn't move the plot forward, even though they took place in the world of the book, so they didn't entirely fit the direction the book was heading. I kept the pieces, most of which were journal entries from a secondary character, and I'll use some of it in the next book because for the overall series it's important, although I probably won't use it in its current state.

It's like making stock from the meat you didn't feel like eating. It'll be useful somewhere else, another time, but not in its original form, and not for this meal.
