The book is a good read so far to get a clearer picture of what being president is like. But boy Barrack gives so many shitty explanations for the worst parts of his presidency. I have only gotten through the first part, and it is clear at least this part of the book is supposed to be a like "trust me I know about all the cute principles you people have, but I'm here to call you naive"

Yeah, but that passage is particularly bad because it's him saying he never had those principles. It wasn't the presidency that broke him; he was just taking those principles all the time
OBAMA 2024
Oh yeah that is clear in the beginning of the book too. He basically illustrates how his upbringing in places so far removed from the radical times of the 60s made him empty of the principles. While a civil rights movement and anti-war movement was going on the mainland, he was in Hawaii and Indonesia.
Funny how this is written like a history book but GRRM can't resist writing at length about smut every 20 pages regardless. 
Like almost all fantasy novels, the world-building is great and the actual book sucks majorly. It's why I just go to its wikia and read all the lore
anyone read American Gods?
Been ten years but hell yeah. Neil Gaiman rules.
gaiman does indeed. i still haven't read that book, yet, though.
i once had a dream about a book before i read the book. and the book was neverwhere
that freaked me out for a long time, actually.
the books might've been silly but i still miss terry pratchett
I really liked diary of a wimpy boy
He was witty and Night Watch had some great commentary on policing

I wanted to ask @Numeta if he's hedging his dogecoin portfolio with the types of swaptions Art talks about here in case the fed raises rates.
ima take a stab in the dark and say numeta never owned a crypto portfolio but he keeps it as a side hobby for when he becomes wealthy
