powells.com. Largest independent bookstore in the world, they ship to Canada, but it ain’t gonna be particularly cheap i’m guessing.

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.

Taste aside, some of y’all really need to learn the definition of obscure.

Dude, London Calling (the Clash album this song is from) sold over 5 million copies. They are in no way obscure.

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.

While I’m not familiar with all the books on this list they’re banning, the ones I am familiar with is enough to convince me they aren’t banning them because of “depications of sex”. (Not that that’s a reason to ban books in the first place.)

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Beloved by Toni Morrison
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
The Color Purple by Alice Walker

Sure. You’re banning these for “depictions of sex.” Right.

The fact that A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah Maas is on the list but not A Court of Thorns and Roses especially cracks me up. Mist and Fury is the sequel to Thorns and Roses and both do indeed contain depictions of sex. A number of them! But in the one they banned, the protagonist learns that the dude she fell for in the first book had been gaslighting her the entire time and essentially holding her hostage. And then she forms a much healthier relationship with a different guy in the second book, but I guess that’s not a good thing for young women to learn about.

No Mr. Feeny. I’ll give it a B-

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.

Finally! A stylish shoe for the blind earthbender!

“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.

What makes you think that because they’ve never had Taco Bell they’ve never had Mexican food at all?

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…

That’s a lot more work than just continuing to use the solution I already have set up for the same end result.

I always think of this panel from Preacher when I see dudes like this.
