How else do we learn from it? Well given we have virtually the entire collective knowledge of humans at the click of a mouse, I'd say the internet if you do proper research. What's happening here could easily lead to what germany did. I don't think so. You really think Americans who are so touchy about the federal government and "muh free speech", would let the government even try what Germany did? No, they'd easily freak the heck out. It's not like Germany with their censorship of Nazism, nor like China where they're censoring everything left and right. You mentioned you don't trust people in power, which is a very American thing as well. That alone encompass how most people feel. I wouldn't worry about it yet, nor do I think removing statue's of people on public area's who lead a rebel nation, is any form of censorship. Put it where it belongs, give it the respect it deserves, and give it the actual info it needs. The fact we still have government buildings hoisting this kinda stuff, along with the confederate flag, is more than just "my history". In fact for the latter half, much of it was raised into government areas when Civil Rights was catching fire.

It's removal means no one will ask those questions at that spot. This continues and the only place one could learn is in a classroom from textbooks that are written by those in power.
A museum provides the context and historical accuracy. Not some shitty monument of some random ass dude who wanted to keep slavery around in a place where there are a large portion of blacks. Maybe if there is some plaque offering context to who he was, or what the statue is dedicated for, but if the guy is just chilling there, no thanks. And those in power always write the history, that's just how it is. But the Civil War has enough voices on both sides where every 5 years it changes from "The war on State Rights" to "The war on Slavery". And occasionally "The war of Northern Aggression". It's not like they are censoring shit about it or going full on Germany where its illegal to even have the flag around.

I feel this should be posted “The city is in the process of determining a more appropriate place to display the statues post-removal, such as a museum or other site, where they can be placed in their proper historical context from a dark period of American history,” Feel as if that should be highlighted, but ya know, need that controversy to drive ratings and clicks.

Yeah and base game is only $15 I think? It's pretty good for that investment. And if you enjoy it, you're more than welcome to ask for help and shit. I'll lend it.

This series derailed, jumped a shark and went over a cliff with AC3 (And even Revelations) and just hasn't recovered.
Why have the modern story anymore? What is it doing?
It's basically following Desmond's companions, Shawn and Rebecca. It'd have been better if they didn't end 3 deliberately at a cliffhanger to milk the main story more. I'm in the minority when I say I enjoy the modern story as well, but I wish it'd pick up a bit or just end.

Isn't this like the 4th leak of AC? We've known it was in Egypt a while now.

Dead Space 1's ending. I shoulda seen it coming, but I guess I didn't.
I was still going to school at the time, and I was close to beating it, but it was late. So I turned off my lights and played it to finish it. Now I don't scare easy, but one of the few things that makes my skin crawl is blood curling screams or screeches, and if it sounds slightly unnatural I just get stunned.
So when that ending happened I stared at the screen wide eyed for a moment, and then I had to call my dog in my room to sleep with me that night.
I think it was Slender or something like it that also did that to me, where the screech stunned me so much, I couldn't move my mouse or take off my headphones. I was just quite literally, paralyzed with fear. It's only happened that one time, but it is crazy that my whole body shut down. I can understand how it happens to people now.

well i never heard of it over here
we just deal with it
The U.S. and U.K. are vastly different in the job mindset, keep in mind. We still don't have maternal leave over here, along with issues with healthcare with our jobs, and various other things. We're far too capitalistic that we have to step on others in the job market to more or less get somewhere in life.

Welcome to Macron's France!
Damn, not even 24 hours after he won the election and he's already taken the title as president, gotten rid of the entire François Hollande administration, tweaked his policies/implemented his own, and gotten the slow corporations to shift their focus to pivot to what he sees as the right course of action? Damn, even Trump can't compete!

That's good. Yeah, retail is the best way to really learn to hate people. Self entitled people are the worst, and this isn't anymore apparent than at retail, and airports.

Like right now I'm going to apply at an airport job being a cargo handler for 3 hour shifts Tuesday-Friday from 5-8AM, simply because the hours aren't insane, it's a summer job, and my friend works there so I'd be hanging around him. That and he says the AM shift people are just insanely laid back and don't give a fuck about anything.
I enjoy the work atmosphere where yeah you gotta work, but people aren't so uptight about it, which gives off that "fake" vibe that I felt at Target.

Older people always says kids will like capitalism once they get their first real job.
since when
if youre working a job you dont like thats not going to change
Since ever over in America. It's the whole "oh you're young, so if you're working 12 hours a day you're being productive" (something my mother more or less said). I don't think you understand how cancerous the mindset over here can be. And if you complain about it? You're fucking lazy and worthless. The only response you get when you bring up a valid point? "Deal with it." or "That's just how it is." Segregation was "just how it is" but you don't see people accepting that in today's world (shitty analogy probably, but fuck you. It's just the whole mindset that the status quo is a-okay is shitty).

It's always tough at first
Just give it some time you'll get acclimated
Nope.
What did you work
retail
What did you find difficult
being happy
Or being motivated to actually go into work.
Pro tip: Never work at Target. The actual work is alright and the organization was nice, but big corporate jobs are fucking terrible. They make you have to rush to some phone to answer a question or you get a negative mark or whatever, and you have to check people out at the cash register quickly (they time you) or it's a mark against you (they give you some letter grade lol).
And the worst part is when you sell Target Red Cards (which are basically like those shitty Gamestop pro memberships where you get discounts and credit build up) they announce over the intercom that you sold one to a guest (can't call em customers), and offer this obviously fake enthusiastic round of applause/congratulations.
Thank god I was only there for seasonal
The only real positive was that it gave me a wake up call to what people who are in their 50's and 60's are doing if they don't pursue a better education or career. Seeing people there that old, and thinking it could be me, absolutely terrified me.
I worked at Target back in 2011. Can totally relate with this. My current job is a massive improvement over retail jobs.
The worst part was when they assigned me to the clothing section. I. Hated. It I never knew where anything was and sorting it out was such a fucking nightmare. Either way, I'm glad you found something better. The only thing that made that job tolerable for me was texting my significant other at the time on my breaks.

What kind of work are you doing? I work 10.5 hour days so that I have 3 days off in a row. It sucks too, but it's worth it.
I work for painting at my college over the summer. It's pretty brain dead work. But it's from 7am to 3:30pm with two half hour breaks. It's a 40 hour work week at minimum wage so there's that I guess. Everyone kept congratulating me like it was done kind of huge achievement. Like yay I get to work
This only highlights the cancerous mindset in capitalistic societies that your worth is the value of money you make/the job you have. Idk how old you are, but the only real takeaway you can get from this is it's something you can chalk up for experience to put on resumes for future better paying jobs.

Active time battle seems to be a pretty polarizing system. I've never played a game that uses it, but it seems like fun to me.
I like to take time planning my next move, that was one of my favorite things about FFX
It was actually in the original 1-3, and 10. I personally don't mind it.

It will be interesting who they will vote for in 2022 when their country is a wasteland.
Barrack Obama
Damn, he'd be leader of two countries he wasn't born in then.
Oh hush

VIII had the terrible Junction system though.
That's quite the assumption. I think it was as well received as it was is because the playstation was insanely popular, it was in 3D, and it got away from the classic FF stuff. Maybe anime did play a part in it, but I doubt it got as big as that simply because of anime. FF8 came out only two years later and sold more, but people still don't hold it in the same light as 7. 8 had a terrible everything

I like how the far right people here are just hoping France turns into a hell hole just to satisfy their own stupid and selfish feelings with political ideals.

VII is okay at best. It's only as popular as it is because it released right when anime exploded in the west.
So is 7
Doesn't mean they're bad. Overrated =/= bad That's quite the claim.

The best part is La Pen could have won if her party wasn't associated with Holocaust deniers (it hits harder for a nation who's government sold out Jews). If that party wasn't so off its rockers, it could have been an easy win.
