      Means the author is not familiar with security tech. Exit signs have a separate independent power source (usually Longlife battery). If those run out the sign emits an annoying warning hum to signal a needed battery change. Facility management is obligated to check those signs regularly, just like smoke detectors etc.

    That first scene with the violent mob is such a beautiful, absurd representation of what conservatives think "cancel culture" is: An innocent white man with traditional values gets called a fascist for no reason and then anonymous attackers swarm him while onlookers cheer for his demise. When you have never faced real oppression and discrimination in your life, I imagine this is how dramatic it feels when strangers call you out on Twitter for using a slur.

      @@NotTheAntichrist I believe we are to understand that Jake, while very big, has a nose that is proportionately average-size relative to the rest of his face, so while relative to each other, his nose may be as big or even bigger than Motumbo's, it is not a thing worthy of ridicule, according to the author. Having a nose that is oversized relative to your face is apparently something that Motumbo should have trained for, and is a sign of his lack of conviction to being manly

      My hunch is that long ago, perhaps sometime in the 1990s, William Johnstone became a house author; a pen name used by a bunch of writers coordinated by J.A. Johnstone. This was a pretty common thing back in the day: "Franklin Dixon" (Hardy Boys) is a good example. This would also help explain some of the genre-switching and the like. I don't find 200 novels (the number published before or soon after his death) in about 20 years to be a particularly plausible output level for one or two people.

A minimum of 330 books in sixteen years (fuck, even thirty years) is a completely ridiculous level of output from a single human being. It would easily make her the single most prolific fiction author in human history. L Ron Hubbard ranks pretty high on that particular list and he only ever managed to write something like 500,000 words in his entire career, something he achieved by publishing in pulp magazines in an era where literally never reading back (much less editing) anything because no one would care in a month was a viable strategy.

      I.e A high school where you supposedly get bullied for existing as a white man and helping a woman when she's being assaulted. Also, antifa super soldiers.
      I noticed that when I started going to college, I started to lean way more left, not because of the teachers trying to drill it into me or anything, but just because it makes everyone's day easier. Pretty much everyone's there to get their classes done, to transfer or get a degree, and thinking that maybe "fellow gays aren't bad" or "women are as good as men" helps everybody out way more than being 'that guy' and stopping to go on a weird conservative tangent or trying to trick the teacher into some Shapiro "gotcha" trap.
      The point is, Conservatives who constantly whine about being bullied or "persecuted" for their beliefs on campus either don't actually go to college, or genuinely perceive classmates expressing annoyance at their bigoted opinions as "bullying".
      Truly, the totally-not-snowflakiest political group is unflappable.

      Jake gets flashbacks, and doesn't feel safe without having weapons/access to weapons. You could interpret the "Jake is uncomfortable when he sees a Middle Eastern person" thing as his untreated PTSD (because we never see him go to therapy/a support group) turning this into some kind of racist phobia, where he's fixated on Arab or Middle Eastern PoC so much due to his experience with them overseas/in the battlefield that that's 100% what he associates them with (enabled by racial attitudes he learned from American culture, which his time in military service really drilled in extra-hard?). He's still a dick, obviously, but it kind of exposes how (at least for this author/their fans) the role of the ideal, masculine man is actually a deeply damaged/unstable person.

    "Coming frome someone as big as you, I don't think a micro-aggression is possible"
    That's a genuinely very funny line and way above what I expect the author even being capable of, given what garbage the rest of the writing is.
    Also, regarding Audrey Murphy, the following, copied from Wikipedia, I find worth mentioning, in addition to what you already told us:
    "He looked for solace in addictive sleeping pills [for his PTSD]. In his last few years, he was plagued by money problems but refused offers to appear in alcohol and cigarette commercials because he did not want to set a bad example."
    That refusal is pretty damn cool (given the ubiquitousness of drinking and smoking back then, today it maybe wouldn't be *that* outstanding), nice thing to do of him. And again, at odds with what the author's mental image of Murphy must be like.
