De-aged one of my favorite households! Have always played them as teens meeting at Granite Falls, and they both realize they were kinda too old to be at summer camp... 🏕️

Old gameplay screenshot of them from 2019 below lol! 😅 Definitely going to be playing it out (again) with the new pack!

Izrael és a világ zsidósága

Izraelben gyakran úgy tekintenek a judaizmusra, mint valami kizárólagos vallásos doktrínára, amely így nagy sikerrel zárja ki magából az izraeli társadalom és a diaszpóra zsidóságának nagy részét. A Haaretz újság a Jeruzsálemi Héber Egyetemmel, a Zsidó Ügynökséggel és a Ruderman Family Foundation-nel közösen egész napos konferenciát tartott Jeruzsálemben Izrael és a világ zsidóságacímmel azzal a…

More bearded Mark Ruffalos. Ash could create a lot of different impressions with slightly different beards, couldn't he? He'd love that.

RONALD: My sister Natalie, she wasn't a big shot, you know? She was a widow. Her husband worked his whole life, left her enough to live on. Then she met Eddie. He was smart, responsible...and Armenian, like us. NATE: Yeah, well, they call these affinity crimes, people who prey on fellow members of ethnic groups.

Nate explains to the viewer that an Armenian scamming Armenians is an affinity crime. What about this, Nate?

or this?

There's a reason you always go in to talk to the rich businessmen and it's because you're a middle-aged white guy, and it's a lot easier for you to gain these guys' trust and acceptance than if you sent in Hardison or Parker. It's an affinity crime.

I was thinking about this because I've been seeing some interesting discussions about Ash, the Jewish hero of my book True Pretenses, passing as a Gentile. Obviously it's a complicated topic and people should make up their own minds about how I wrote it. But a big piece to me is that he's not just passing as Gentile. He's passing as middle-class or a gentleman, too, and not a Londoner. Since he's a con artist who wants to run cons against middle- and upper-class English Christians...he kind of has to pretend to be one so that he can gain their trust. He's committing affinity crimes.

Being open about his poor Jewish roots would effectively limit his marks to the Jewish community. Which is much smaller. He and his brother would have less opportunities, be much more likely to be recognized and caught, AND much more likely to be tracked down by the Jewish gang they are on the run from. (Each of them on their own might manage, but together their description would be easy to identify.)
