Wow that sucks.

[–] natedog526@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

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.

They are after the currency of the time, your attention. If they have games people like they'll subscribe to play.

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)
