It’s just a massive time scale that it happens on, but yes that gives way to feeling like that. Read the first 2, put the last one down halfway through after it started shitting all over the first 2 books with a certain character’s actions.
The second book has a really cool few pages that helped visualize what experiencing the 4th dimension could be like.
The series is more interesting for its concepts than it is for plot or any one character imo
Not what out of pocket means, out of pocket means that you will be personally covering expenditures
e.g. “I broke the company monitor so I will be coming out of pocket to replace it”
Actually now that I think about it, your usage comes from the AAVE usage so it’s valid. Whoops
