I tried every combo and magic trick I could find and mine will not. Sadge.

Yeah, forget what I said, you are committed now. Sorry, but you gotta finish it. LMAO

If it helps, read the first one and if you don't like it, you don't have to finish it or the series. It stands alone decently well. I know that's obvious, but I often don't do things because I feel like starting something mean I have to finish it. Books, games, movies, etc

I reread 1984, Animal Farm and Farenheight 451 recently, for no particular reason, but they are more accurate and depressing than ever about current events.

Highly recommended. But be prepared to be angry or depressed.

I completed the Wheel of Time last year and liked the Sanderson style of the latter books and am now on book 3 of Stormlight Archive and love it so far. It took me a good half the first book to "get it" or "get into it" rather, but now I see the vision and am enjoying it all. Planning on the other Cosmere series and books after.

Sanderson is definitely one of the better sci-fi/fantasy writers I've read.

I'm on book 3 of the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. It's fantasy, it's weird in a lot of ways, but it's well written for the most part and enjoyable to read. It feels like reading an unfolding story of people in a parallel universe where things are half the same and half completely alien and different, but to them, it's commonplace, and I like that.

Bring a bigger group.

We had the Boston Tea Party and they threw all the tea into the harbor.

I think we should name this one the Gulf of Mexico MAGA Party and act accordingly.

Whoa now. That's dangerously close to sounding reasonable. We don't do that here.

Be careful though, emergency dissolution of the Senate is exactly how Palpatine gained power. There has to be a careful plan and new system ready to go and not just fall to the one person it shouldn't.

I know it's fiction, but just saying. Dissolving it is one thing, but having a coherent plan is another.

But we can't afford to feed kids or have medical care or research for cancers and diseases or build housing for everyone.

But we can buy expensive bombs galore to drop on families and build concentration camps.

Neat.

So, when do we all stop paying taxes and stop going to work and bring the whole system crashing down to stop this madness?

There are approximately 146,000 people named Mario in the US alone. Any one of them could do the FUNNIEST THING.
