Rosalie Weiss- Week 8- A PSA for Wordle Users

The New York Times acquires Wordle, says it will remain free for everyone

Like almost everyone I know, I am a daily Wordle player. I also dabble in the numerous Wordle variations, including Globle, Jewdle, and Nerdle. In a time where seemingly everyone is divided, daily games like these have forced us to put away our differences and come together through our collective solving of a common goal. Sadly, nothing is safe from the malice of humankind, as many individuals can’t help but ruin the one thing you have to look forward to every day. This heinous crime committed by said individuals is the act of spoiling. 

I’m sure everyone has encountered spoilers at some point in their life, and whether it was for a book, movie, or a daily word game, these spoilers are never warranted or appreciated. Despite this fact, people continue to spoil. While some spoilers may come in the form of a cry for attention or in an attempt to be funny, they all stem from pure hatred of human joy and happiness. You cannot convince me that a good samaritan who genuinely cares for their neighbor would actively inhibit someone from enjoying something they love, all for their own amusement. The one thing people like less than being spoiled are the people who spoil, as the act of spoiling is commonly viewed as annoying and morally wrong.

So the next time you are playing wordle and feel the need to scream out the answer, don't. No one thinks it is funny. This is the reason why everybody hates you. ;)

What do you think? Should spoilers be punished? Do you spoil yourself?

    I think spoilers are so annoying. I totally agree with everything you are saying and that spoils are more than just annoying. I feel as if people do spoilers only to get enjoyment for themselves. They get a sense of fulfillment by ruining others' enjoyment. It is very saddening to think that this is how people feel and do now.

    I HATE spoilers! I don't understand why people feel the need to do something like this. It is honestly so hard to avoid Wordle spoilers. Every time I go to class, someone in front of me is playing it!

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
