    3: What's your opinion of me compared to Billy Joel?

    4: Do you have a spirit animal?

    5: Here's my tweaked @Astolfo! impression: Please raise the limit please please please with a cherry on top?

    Why wouldn't the Republicans impeach Trump? If Trump is impeached, Pence becomes president. Compared to Trump, the vice president is a lot more moderate and a lot less controversial, and I think a lot of Republicans and Democrats would be more comfortable with him in office.

    I think the reason Trump is still in office is because he's still popular with a lot of people. He did win the election, after all. A lot of congressmen would probably rather wait for him to do something extremely stupid that nobody is in favor of to impeach him than have to explain to their constituents why they ousted the man that the people put in office.

    A Falcommie? Where?! *Readies my Buster Sword*

    Ya better get gone ye Reds! This forest is for 100% Final Fascists only!

     

    I'd consider getting into Nihon Falcom games, but I don't have Steam nor a PS4, so I don't have access to their lineup really.

    Hey, wait, does this mean I can't be a Final Fascist anymore?

    I played TitS (wow, that acronym has problems) through GOG.com. They let you download the games to your PC without having to worry about a whole lot of extra installation stuff. I played it on a very weak old laptop and only suffered minimal slowdown, so the barrier to entry isn't that high if you want to play the first trilogy.

    is "falcommie" actually the name people use for whatever this is, because I want to like it just so I can call myself a falcommie

    I kinda invented it. So far as I know, there isn't another name for Falcom fans (in the US, at least.)

    For years, I thought it was a joke. "It can't be that great," I told myself. "It would be popular if it was that great." But after spending a year on a Fire Emblem forum where the "Trails of" series is more popular than Fire Emblem, I finally gave in. And I emerged... a Falcommie.

    So I just finished Trails in the Sky FC and I'm going to start on SC after my vacation. You guys were right. I shouldn't have resisted. I now know what I was missing out on. I will now join your ranks and incessantly sing the praises of Aidos all throughout the forums.

    Rabindranath Tagore was a poet, writer, social activist, and Nobel laureate from the Bengal region. He is known for having influenced (Mahatma and Indira) Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, to name a few. He is also responsible for the national anthems of India and Bangladesh.

    Here are a few facts about him.

    Here's a poem of his.

    So what do you think?

    He was a pretty amazing person. It's always cool when people turn down a knighthood.

    Have you ever read "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift

    I start off believing I am right and you are wrong in any dispute/discussion. Then it becomes a test of wills on who can keep arguing further, who will not compromise on their point of view. I mean, if you are right, how can you lack conviction?

    The good and the right always triumphs in the end, they just need to fight it out till the wrong capitulates as they will lack conviction by virtue of taking a position of compromised beliefs. The heart and soul always knows.

    So just out of curiosity, what if I were to lose a yelling match with Hitler?

    I am pretty sure you quad-posted.

    But to answer your question: Yes, I read Where the Sidewalk Ends and liked it a lot. My favorite poems were the Unicorn Song and Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout.

    Have you ever read anything by Rabindranath Tagore?

    Oh wow! I was wondering why it was taking so long to load. Well, yet another innocent bystander is introduced to Serene's Forest's infamous double-posting epidemic!

    I've never heard of him. Why don't you tell me what's so great about Rabindranath Tagore?

    That's a tough one. I think the winner would be 3DS because it's portable and I use it a lot more than everything else, but I also really love GBA, PS1, N64, GCN, and Wii. And everything else that wasn't made by Atari, Sega, or Microsoft.

    I believe that right and wrong is a matter of "loving your neighbor", or basically putting others before yourself. In general, one should avoid doing anything to the detriment of others unless absolutely necessary. Those who have plenty to spare are morally obligated to share a portion of their wealth with those less fortunate in the most efficient manner possible. 

    However, I disagree with the concept that one shouldn't be able to enjoy themselves while they could instead be doing something to help others. The goal of life is not to fix as many of the world's problems as possible, the goal of life is to live life to the fullest, which is why fun exists in the first place. Self-actualization, as Maslow called it, is the result of balancing charity and pleasure while maintaining a correct state of mind.

    These are my personal sentiments. I don't think that they should be enforced by the government and I don't think they have to apply to larger-scale enterprises, like business and national policy. I do however hold these standards in place for my own lifestyle, as even before developing them, I would feel guilt, exhaustion, or emptiness when I ignored them and feel content when I heeded them.
