You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

  • 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Planet of the Apes
  • The Secret of NIMH
  • many John Wayne movies including True Grit

Just like society's thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

Either Pac-Man or Galaga at the arcade. Man those cabinets seemed thirsty for quarters as a kid.

I distinctly remember enjoying Encarta 95 back in the day. Otherwise, no.

They might be referring to the Warner Brothers disc rot issue announced earlier this year (affecting some mid 2000s dvds). Ideally, things are made well and last a long time when stored properly.

Very cool. It reminds me of Esao Andrews' style.

It's even worse if they're using "criminal record" the same way the FBI has historically (arrested but not necessarily convicted on a felony charge).

I don't have up to date numbers, but c.2016 the FBI considered ~29% of Americans to have a criminal record.

He doesn't even need to describe quality. Just say that he appreciated all the attention that Trump gave to the balls.

A grand jury is a sort of sanity check on a charge, and does not count towards the trial. It is basically "with these facts (provided only by the prosecution), is there enough probable cause to move a case to trial?". Double jeopardy in the 5th amendment has specific protections from going to trial multiple times or from getting multiple punishments for a crime.

The thousand injuries of Fascists I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
