Too late…
‘The Harlem Shuffle’ by Colson Whitehead.
‘Red Harvest’ by Dashiell Hammett.
‘The Secret Place’ by Tana French…
Save yourself, it’s too late for me…

It’s as if a fat guy who brought a bike for exercise and then threw it in the garage gave it to his pot dealer so the kid could deliver faster.
Okay, I know it’s not Scully and pretty sure it’s not Mulder, so who is it?

Great graphic novel, “High Crimes.” A disgraced Olympic snowboarder now works as a corpse retriever on Mt. Everest. She and her partner charge $50,000.00 for the return of the dear departed.

DagwoodIII@piefed.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Edinburgh University had ‘outsized’ role in creating racist scientific theories, inquiry findsEnglish5·22 hours agoThat’s why the slave traders wanted to enshrine their ideas.
They knew that there were Abolitionists at other universities; they wanted to make sure their reputations would remain unsullied.
Kind of like how oil companies today fund their own ‘climate research.’

DagwoodIII@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think it's an ok idea for me to get a cat in my scenario? (details inside) (**crosspost**)English16·2 days agoCheck around where you live.
There are shelters that need cats boarded. I suggest you try caring for a few and see how it feels before you commit.
My opinion.

Get a job in retail.
It’s a skill like any other, and the only way to get good at it is to do it.
Also, calling it ‘socializing’ makes you sound normal; calling it ‘social engineering’ makes you sound like a weirdo.
DagwoodIII@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a movie you can watch often and it never gets old?English30·2 days agoBig Trouble In Little China.
Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.
DagwoodIII@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with?English11·2 days agoTalk to people besides the women you want to date.
Old people love to talk to strangers; it was something they did before cell phones came around.
Take some acting classes and or volunteer at the local community theater. Acting is talking, and actors love to chatter.
Get a hobby that appeals to all sorts of people. Gardening/riding a bike/soft ball/football/whatever. It actually helps to have something to talk about, and there are clubs full of people who do that activity.
You don’t have to listen to the women, just listen to Cadet Bonespurs himself.
He went on Howard Stern and boasted of going into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Did a quick search. The LBJ Library charges around $16.00 per adult visitor.
Trump is going to build his Library in Las Vegas, give it slots and a shooting range and charge the faithful ten times what any other Presidential Library charges.
Hell, he’ll give Stormy Daniels her own wing and run X-rated movies on an Imax screen.
DagwoodIII@piefed.socialto AskUSA@discuss.online•How has your daily life in the US been impacted by the current administration?English141·3 days agoHere’s what you need to understand.
Even if things get worse, a lot of the MAGots are never going to blame Trump.
Back in the Hitler Era, there were Germans who’d tell you that the problems would be solved “…if the Leader knew about them.” His people will tell you that the problems are caused by ‘government red tape’ or ‘malicious compliance.’
Trump has given them the excuse to be horrible people, and that’s worth suffering for.
DagwoodIII@piefed.socialto News@lemmy.world•PBS and NPR See Unprecedented Surge in Donations After GOP Votes for DefundingEnglish23·3 days agoDuh!
This is a favorite GOP tactic for decades. Back when the Supreme Court cared about the law, the Right would pass anti-abortion laws that they knew would be struck down. But since they were in power, they could use tax payer money to pay for the cases. Meanwhile, people on the Left had pick and choose where their money went, to a good candidate or to the legal funds?

New Yorker here. Yes, it’s possible for a working person to have a great apartment in Manhattan. Either they moved in early and have a rent subsidized/controlled place, or they won an apartment lottery in a new building.
The thing that’s most unrealistic is when you see empty parking spaces any where.
Your wisdom is only overshadowed by your generosity.
