  • I used to enjoy his books and you made me look him up for the first time since the terrible Law of Nines book.

    He's dead! That was a surprise! Otherwise most of the Sword of Truth series was "watch Richard take on communism........Again".

  • I wonder if anyone has done the math on how much labor he had to do in prison, and how much he would have been paid for that same labor outside of prison for 44 years at a regular job?

    Assuming you get a job at 16, 44 years outside of jail and in the workforce would take you to 60*, most people's retirement age.

  • There's a Honda dealership in my Texas hometown that is known to give terrible deals, and they've been sued dozens of times for misrepresenting financing to buyers.

    They only haven't been shut down because they're one of the few authorized Honda repair shops in town, and they have the family name of one of the town's founders all over the building. That, on top of the lack of regulation on what they say vs what they do, is why they're so against this law.

  • I haven't seen Battlestar Galactica mentioned here. Great sci-fi show, although there is pretty much no alien life to speak of. Instead it's a juggling act between humans and the robots they created, in space. I'd almost say it's a long-form version of Blade Runner, where the robots actually beat humanity and forced them to run from Earth for survival.

  • That's the beauty: you have to make the tough choices for the greater good and future of the town. I've been playing a dozen hours a week for a few months and finally have somewhat of a feel for how to start building the town at the beginning so it doesn't screw me over later.

    I initially didn't like it when I got it for free on Epic, now it's one of my favorite games.

  • That's where I am, which is why I made this post. So far, though, I'm getting the points and replies from this thread.

    Not sure if AskLemmy is specific to lemme.ee or not and we're all talking to each other.

  • I mainly post based on "Everything last 12 Hours" posts, which could be from any instance I suppose. Typically I'll get one or two points on a comment, the past 4-5 days no replies and no points.

    If shadowbanning is/was a thing it would have soured my feelings on Lemmy, since I don't feel I've done/said anything bannable.
