Stop and frisk has been banned, but police in the 42nd precinct are actually doing something far worse. They are setting quotas and goals for the number of people each officer must arrest. If you don’t meet or exceed the quotas, you feel the wrath of your supervisors. Instead of rejecting the quotas, some officers are embracing them and rounding up people, particularly teenage children, for crimes they know good and well they didn’t commit — locking them away sometimes for days, weeks, months, or even years at a time — then simply dismissing the charges.

I liked the GBA port of FF1 because they fixed the magic system so it was actually playable

Oh, I missed that. Yeah, sotn is good. But Chronicles and Anthology were cheap cash-ins.

it was playable on the nes dumbass

Prominent activist and co-founder of Safety Pin Box, Leslie Mac, was recently banned for posting, “silence is violence,” in reference to white Americans not speaking out against racism. Human rights advocate and psychologist, Dr. Mary Merrill, received her third Facebook ban for a thought-provoking post that apparently violated standards for her use of the phrase, “Dear White People.” Nynah Marie, co-founder of Brown Girls Out Loud, was ironically banned for a status criticizing Facebook’s racist banning practices. Community organizer, Sherronda Brown, was banned twice for uploading screenshots of racist and sexist harassment she’d received via Facebook comments and private messages. Although the original messages to Brown were reported without consequence, she was still banned for posting proof of the abuse. That’s like being charged with sexual harassment for posting photos of Casey Affleck. Not cool, Zuck.

Even Shaun King — who was once a guest speaker at Facebook Headquarters — had his account banned for posting a racist email he’d received from a white supremacist. Calling out racism seems to be the common thread between Black Facebook users who repeatedly experience censorship. Just as in real life, when a person of color (or Shaun King) calls out racism they’re promptly silenced and accused of being racist themselves. And this censorship doesn’t just impact activists. Any posts deemed in violation are removed from the pages of EVERYONE who shared them — essentially silencing thousands of Black voices (much to the delight of Mark Zuckerberg, who definitely hates Black people).

did you forget when we were shipping cargo planes full of pallets of cash over there, and then quietly looking the other way when the cash went "missing", often in the form of bribes?

we can't "fix" Afghanistan, and even if we could, that's not really what we're there to do

FFX is good but IX remains the height of the series

ffx was just walking in a straight line from one end of the world to the other

i mean yeah most games are but at least make an effort to pretend

i think 8 was pretty good although lol @ child soldiers being a thing like it ain't no big deal

Serf posted:

isn't like 90% of anime war stuff about child soldiers tho

in a very loose sense of the term, yes

I probably could have actually beaten NES FF1 if I just ignored magic and did an all-Fighter party but nooooo I thought wizards were "cool"
