Everyone lives in layers of self-constructed fantasy and coming into contact with reality is called trauma. At least according to Jacques Lacan.

The reason Dwyer shot himself is that he was facing prison time for a corruption scheme and if he died while still in office, his family got full benefits. ~~Oh, and it turned out he was innocent.~~

Edit: sorry, turns out I was spreading disinformation. I read the Wikipedia article and it turns out the evidence against Dwyer was pretty solid. Thanks u/TopRamenBinLaden for setting me straight.

Lots of times you can 'one and done' a series. Dune comes to mind as a great novel on it's own even if you ignore the rest of the series.

But I understand what you mean. The only time I've been glad to read an entire series was Kings "Gunslinger".

Somebody read the pamphlet from Central Park.

The first time I saw Ishin draw on me I thought he had multiple pistols like Blackbeard or something. Nope, he's got a simiauto with the extended mag. Prob stole it off Robert's dad.

Oh, the production quality on Lightning is trash. The drums sound like their not in the same room with the the microphones. Part of the charm. It sounds like a band who doesn't know any professional producers.

Metallica: Ride the Lightning

I love this album, but can't stand any of their other stuff.

Fog of War (2003) is just heartstopping for anyone interested in 20th Century American history. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317910/

Grizzly Man (2005) is mesmerizing all the way through despite it's quirky protagonist and predictable conclusion.

I use Winamp on my PC.

First of all, it respects albums. Other players like VLC and Fubar2000 would order the songs alphabetically; it's annoying. Also in the "artist" list "The Beatles" comes right after "Beasty Boys" the way God intended.

Second it has an "always on top" feature so you can easily control it while gaming.

Winamp was made for people who listen to music the way I do. You know, old people.
