I remember like 87 different versions of it. There was the DOS one, the Apple IIe color version, one for Windows. My family owned one called The Search for Spot that was fully animated and voiced, then later I got a geometry version that had completely different characters, story, and gameplay.

Duh, they just paid the $12 and took the Battery.

Reply to Philomena Cunk interviews music experts by ENAuslender
It's sad that this is probably the last set of interviews she'll give in that persona. Like Ali G, she's too well known now.

It's faces I have the hardest time with. Non-regular characters showing up mid-season and I'm supposed to know who this is.
Worst offender: Mr. Robot. One season ends with a dude dramatically walking out of a taxi as the camera slowly pans up and reveals him to be... uh.... (quickly googles) a guy who was the focus of three episodes two season ago.
Best one: The Witcher. One episode was going to do the whole "face obscured by camera to dramatically reveal who this was" and had to preface it by a long seemingly unrelated hallucination of a memory by a different character since the face of this person was only shown very briefly once in the previous season.

In 1991 the black community in Crown Heights rioted and attacked Jewish people and businesses. The NYT is misreporting it as fights between Jews and blacks.
Yes. Sometimes "the other side" is just bad and there are no good people on both sides. The context is that a kid was killed in a car accident and people like Al Sharpton built up a career telling black Americans that racism is all the Jews fault.

It's in the context of the general anti-religious Jew trend that the Grey Lady has had since forever. But your comment about how "just hasidim are irked by this" is flat out wrong. For one, Algemeiner is a secular Jewish paper that frequently publishes anti-Hasidic content itself.

Did you read the article? This isn't about education. This is about how the Al Sharpton supported anti-Semitic riot which killed three people in 1991 is being portrayed as a gang war between blacks and Hasidim.
The Times has had it out for Hasidim for far longer than the education controversy has been around. About five years ago, NYT made a big deal that they will start an effort to have their hiring practices reflect the diversity of New York City. When Jewish Twitter pointed out that this would mean they would have to hire 20-30 Hasidim and many more religious Jews, they simply stopped talking about it.

"Woik woik woik, you make me do all the woik around here" went around my house a lot when we had chores.
