    I won Time’s Person of the Year in 2006. I have no worries about imposter syndrome. I’ve already been validated.

    OK assuming it wasn’t with this group of assholes, if you could add yourself as secretary of something, what would it be?

    I’d be secretary of proper fantasy and fictious IP respect.

    Proper fucking labeling when a story moves from one media to another.

    TV shows like Wheel of Time can only say they are loosely based on the WoT books. I’m not saying every adaptation has to stay as true to its origin as the Sin City movie, but come one with some of these

      IIRC, in the Jason Bourne books, the super-secret government cabal that trained him are the good guys.

    If I had a felony conviction I’d be applying everywhere answering the phone like, “oh right, you can be president but not manager of a dave and busters.”

          Sorry, I refused to file charges because I ain’t no snitch. It would have been reduced to a misdemeanor anyways. You’re going to need to try harder.

          Unfortunately for you, that’s called “menace” and its merely a misdemeanor.
          You’ll need to do more than this to get a proper conviction-- aggravating the charge by involving a weapon or minors might be a good option for your goals. You need to be much more creative with your criminality if you ever want to enter the gentry class. Consider white collar crime, or creating jobs by hiring some minions. Now that trump is in office, it will be a particularly attractive time to venture into federal crimes, or crimes that cross state or national boundaries.

      Thank you for posting this. I was gonna try and paraphrase it because what is being said is so spot on to this sentiment.

    You can be incompetent and get any job, but you have to be willing to be an asshole and remove your backbone.

    We are a profoundly stupid country. Even the intelligent, educated people are stupid, because they didn’t think this could happen, and they have no idea how to fix it.

      I like to think my belief that humanity has some decency meant there was no way it could possibly happen. Yet life is often stranger and dumber than fiction.

    Pretty sure most of us here would be overqualified, based on the apparent criteria.

      Sounds totally random and not related to current events at all. Probably has something to do with secretary’s day.
