When you don’t have the numbers, you retreat to fight another day. You lose the battle with as little casualties as possible and that enables you to win the war. It’s why the Romans survived after Cannae, and the Britons after Dunkirk. Blaming the Democrats for losing a fight they were always going to lose breeds the…

That moment when being a trust-fund kid who has the ability to wax poetic about a system they’ve never taken the time to understand is suddenly meant to be a legitimate worldview.

Holy fuck. Do you have any idea how committees function? Do you have any idea how the basic branches of government are intended to work?

Do…

Anticipating a working knowledge of government procedures and rules (especially when those procedures and rules would preclude the kind of high-handed moralizing that suffuses so many posts around here) is a fool’s errand.

Shit, a working knowledge of politics would’ve kept a lot of these clowns from the “she doesn’t…

The White House stifled the FBI investigation and 48 Democrats voted against Kavenaugh. Don't you dare with that bullshit of blaming them. Manchin deserted the party. No one else did.

This is some weak ass bullshit. The Democrats had no power. We’ve known since Kennedy retired that this was a losing battle, but it was a battle that the Democrats had to fight. They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made, and they lost, which was absolutely to be expected. This loss was…

Oh fuck this.

Instead, Democrats put all their chips on an investigation by the FBI—an inherently evil organization which they have no control over. They could have gone right after Kavanaugh during his hearing. They could have questioned him, over and over again, about his drinking. They could have questioned him, over and over…

This is what a passive aggressive PR statement looks like.

You know what should get said more though? Fuck people in the rust belt. Fuck them. Both she and Donnie campaigned for two fucking years, and they’re going to base their vote on who flew into town more often? That’s how you vote? Based on who visited you, instead of some other Americans. You didn’t have all the…

The age of consent is one thing, the legal age for the subject of pornographic pictures is another and it’s not always the same, which can and has resulted in some pretty absurd situations (like having the person taking nude selfie charged of distribution of child pornography).

I don’t quite understand where the age of 18 comes into the picture here, because he’s based in California?

Being both a metal fan and DMC fan... I have concluded that the song sucks. Whoever produced it is out of touch with the franchise and has no idea how to mix a track. What is up with the vocal levels?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Subhuman”; are we sure the song isn’t about the lead singer? It’s kind of weird to have the theme for one of the main characters call them “less than human”.

Is it that song that plays in the trailer? If so, GOOD. It sucks.

I will never know what possessed Square to make the main character in their game hate everything going on around him. He hates everyone in the party, he doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything that’s going on, and takes every opportunity to make that abundantly clear. He doesn’t want to be there, and not in that…

FF7 and Tactics are among my favorites too! FFVII is the reason why I love story heavy games, I was always a gamer and I love it for showing me that side of games.

Correct me if I’m wrong though, I always felt like the romance in FF8 was weird. Like I remember Rinoa kinda liking Squall in the beginning, but he was all…

Well, the “romance” between Rinoa and Squall can be pretty hilarious if you’re cynical enough, like me.

Count me as one of the ones who outrright hates it, and that’s almost entirely because Squall is the single worst protagonist in the entire series.

I’m automatically gonna be snubbed for this, but FFVII is the reason I’m a gamer at all. It remains my favorite iteration of FF (tied with original Tactics) to this day. I learned the systems inside and out and it cemented itself as what got me into JRPG’s.

I legitimately wanted to like VIII.  I could not, at all.  The…
