the women's rooms were always ten times nastier than the men's rooms

worked "maintenance" at walmart for two and a half years, and I can confirm. sorry ladies, but those little garbage cans for your 'sanitary' devices in every stall are foul...the fact that we didn't even get some kind of liner for them made it worse.

so there are no points of failure in Active Directory or other systems that could be locked down by bad actors?

not trying to be a doomer or a pain, btw, just exploring possibilities.

How the FUCK did our fight to advocate for ethical games journalism reach the TOP FUCKING ECHELONS of the US government?

Simply put, every authoritarian regime needs a scapegoat and a bogeyman to focus the people's wrath and distract them from what's really going on. Sadly, already being mostly outcasts, we were perfect for both roles.

Fortunately for us, and the rest of the nation (world?), they pushed too far, too fast, and people started to see through their bullshit. Things will improve, but it's going to be a long slog to the finish line...

Mate that's really going deep into the well of history, but I'm slowly starting to remember those now...

Sorry, still my favorite RPG of all time...Shows my age, I guess, lol.

Cecil was the one who went from evil to good right?

Sort of. he was convinced to master an evil blade in the name of good, but he eventually transcended it's power to become a paladin, a sort of Holy knight, along his Hero's Journey.

I remember Kain was my favourite in that game, the badass Dragoon, yeah?

That's the one, lol.

Wasn't Yang the monk or was that Edge?

Yang was the marshal artist monk, Edge was the Ninja.

The more you have described it the more it's starting to come back to me, though.

YOU SPOONY BARD!

If that doesn't jog your memory, nothing will.😂

like i said, final fantasy 4 (sacrelige, i know, using arabic numerals with a final fantasy game, lol) had a pretty cute romance. it didn't really do anything for the gameplay, but it was Rose's reason joining Cecil's party. and Edward had a bit of a tragic romance backstory as well, one that tied into why Tellah's story as well. don't get me started on the comical relationship Yang had with his wife, lol.

I will admit, though, it does seem a lot of modern RPGs only include romance in a superfluous way, though. especially with the ones that are less RPG and more visual novel with a few action scenes tacked on...

maybe, but I do feel an obligation to at least warn people if I think a joke is especially dumb, lol

...it's sad that romance in GTA of all things is more important than in most RPGs...at least they give you a reason to continue the relationship...

that being said, FFIV had a pretty cute romance between Cecil and Rose that was woven into the story pretty well. it was pretty generic (and with the 16-bit graphics, the kissing scene was more hilarious than heartwarming), but it was handled well...

"you may now kiss the husband"

...tell me they don't actually say husband instead of groom...talk about ignorant...

for the record, I don't have a problem with gay marriage, other than the government staying out of it overall, and maybe i'm being pedantic, but Gah, that bothers me...

came late to thedonald when it was still on plebbit. rarely if ever used it before then (more of a /b/tard to be honest, even that's a stretch, though), so I never really caught reddititus, lol.

I assume you're looking for a user by the name of ELI5, if you want to send a notification, just type it like so: u/ELI5 .

as to you're question, DoE is short for Department of Education, and it's a federal agency that was officially set up to assist states in improving education and to disperse federal funds for same, but it's long been a way for the federal government to bypass the tenth amendment regarding education.

Basically, it acts like a big piggybank for state education funding, but only if they adopt the policies the federal government wants.

that's about as simple as I can put it, maybe the user you asked can elaborate further.
