Pure speculation, but I could also easily see it just being kids from other nearby schools that heard about a protest at Columbia and rode the subway up from NYU, or CUNY, or any number of schools in the area. Technically outsiders at that point, but I wouldn't really consider them as such.

Is there any knowledge as to whether Sony made this call, or Valve? If Sony, clearly a sign that they're not gonna change their mind about the PSN requirement, but where will that leave the people in those countries that already own the game.

Could see Valve doing it preemptively as well because why would they allow Sony to sell this game on their platform in countries if they're just gonna take the game away from the people who bought it.

Sure, they like money. Who doesn't? But you have to admit there's a big difference between what Larian gave us for $60 with Baldur's Gate, and shit like $65 mounts in Diablo and $80 melee weapons in CoD and the various other chicanery ActiBlizz and other truly greedy companies have been pulling.

As such, in addition to liking money, I would argue the people at Larian genuinely care about making a good game that people enjoy. Cuz if it was ONLY about the money, they would've made a much different game. I imagine it helps not being a publicly traded company.

I've never heard of this type of scam, but out of curiosity, what if I were to take their real looking fake check to one of those many terrible check cashing places? Would it end up being the scammers trying to claw back money from the check cashing place and those 2 groups fighting while I walk away with some cash? Cuz I'd be OK with that.

Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.

Wait, are you saying yes it's unethical to give fake money to beggars and strippers, or yes, it's ok to give them fake money?

Cuz...it's really not ok to give either of them fake money.

"literally"

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

However, the book DOES have "literary importance," as determined by it winning the National Book Award, winning the Kirkus Prize, and being a Pulitzer finalist.

Though I notice elsewhere in the thread you refer to those as "literature prices" multiple times, and would like to point out that they are, in fact, "prizes". Prices are the cost of things you buy at the store. Prizes are awarded for achievement in a given field.

As such, I do not believe you are fit to be the arbiter of what gets to be taught in English class. It is clear you could use a few lessons on the subject yourself, and besides, before espousing that a book should only be taught in one type of classroom (Social Studies) and not another (English), a person should probably read said book. You clearly haven't.

I have this one, and it just saves the video to an sd card. The review I linked to mentions it's lack of connectivity as a con, but clearly it's not a con if that's what you're looking for.

Source for this planned 4th season? Everything I've heard/read indicates that Sterlin Harjo felt the end of season 3 was the natural place to end it and it was his decision to stop there.

You're attributing a lot of things to me that I never said. On the whole though, I don't disagree with you.

The homes no longer having arrows is already driving me nuts. And I don't know if they matter or not either, but i'm unable to let myself place them with a door facing another building or something to find out.

The DnD episode of Community didn't need to be removed from all streaming platforms...
