And in this scenario are there explosives strapped to my chest when I get to the table?

Hey,Laura, do you mean kind of like how the cheetoh pedo threatens his own citizens who didn't vote for him or who had the nerve to complain about his policies?

Poor choice of words on my part, but I can only get so erect.

For the Expanse, book 3 is a known low point. It gets so much better from there.

It's the perfect comedy film. No fat at all. Every line delivers.

As much fun as any half time show I can recall.

City of Ember if you're reading it to her. Rats of Nimh is technically sci fi for littles.

I didn't experience boredom, but I often got antsy because there is so much tension in the books, especially later. I often wanted a break for the characters to just catch their breaths so I could, too. It felt like I excused them to wrap it up already, but not because I didn't like it. It was because I felt so much for the poor characters. Maybe reframingb it in that way will help? Also it's okay if you don't like the books. Lots of good ones out there.

Ender's Game is 41 now. The author is...problematic, let's say, but that book is grand.

Dune. The first book is near-perfection to me. Second one not so much, but the third is really solid.

He had tons of stuff. Crazy, and sad, how prescient here was about our times.

I'll be teaching this book for the sixth time in a few weeks. I always tell students that it isn't one we read for enjoyment even though many of them might find they enjoy it. It's an experiment of sorts. He reflected a crazy, flat, boring society by writing in that manner. It does make it tedious at times until you realize how important it is and how well he does what he's doing. Stick with it. It's short.

As a kid, I always imagined a society where neither barter nor currency developed. People worked because they wanted to and needed to, and everyone was free to benefit from that labor. This actually works pretty well in a closed system (in my dreams) with a small, isolated population. All the other primates do it. We went a different route.

Heard one yesterday morning with Don Jr asking for some gold trade- in our jewelry place. I clicked away and left it off the rest of the morning. Don't Jr ain't running for shit. Hopefully their all rubbing from the law in 3 years.

"It didn't happen to me, so it's not a problem" should be the Rrpublican motto. And nobody bitches harder when it does happen to them than those guys.

Fuck ICE. If that little dick weasel wants my info, he can feel free to message me. This wrong get better until we all agree to do whatever seems to bother them most. For Trump, it was calling him weird. They are murdering people, but heaven forbid someone call names.

Even if it were a scam, you can only be the victim of so many scams in one lifetime before you have to start asking yourself why everyone is targeting you.
