My 5th grade teacher specifically said she wouldn’t allow them in the class. She told parents she wanted us to have a plain blue binder (the one that was covered in blue fabric), some dividers and paper. She then proceeded to teach us something no there before or after spent time on: how to properly organize our work. You were awesome, Dr. Cross!

TBH, this sounds like a very boring movie.
I laughed way more at this than I think it deserved. But damn, it is funny.
Alabama voter: “Why TF are y’all takin ar Medicaid!? I mean I’m still gonna vote for you come next election cause I ain’t no liberal commie, but I’m really pissed at all this shit y’all are doin!”
This guy needs to be getting as much use as shocked picachu these days.
Adding in - if you watch the first season of the Amazon show, it’s pretty accurate to the books. The second season went off the rails a bit, but the recent season was alright (other than Anthony Michael Hall being a pretty one dimensional actor).
If that’s the reason why, I would skip it. They don’t spend a lot of time on it. Plus, in the early books there’s some unnecessary cringe parts where they felt the need to shoehorn “love interest” into the story. In general, they’re decent “boss battle” books. Easy reads that aren’t going to make you think. Beach reads for guys, I guess.
Stick to the road. Beware the moors.
I think I know what I want to be for Halloween this year!
I read all the Jack Reacher books a couple years ago, and one of the fascinating things about the character is his aversion to owning things. In some of the books, he talks about it a little and it’s an interesting insight to that worldview. I think they kind of stopped talking about it in newer books, and the character has gotten kind of less interesting because of it. At one point, he inherits a house, and that seems to become a minor trauma for him!
They absolutely know it because they use the exact same arguments to justify the insane contracts offered to CEOs.
