    Honestly, I think the number association is a bit of an stretch. I know Trump isn't the "best" president we had but no sane politician would go that far.

    White supremacists pick up the association regardless. You can ask any folk/Viking metal band who employs the use of runes in their artwork.

  2. My first crack at a clear video post. And how fitting—its a crack battle.

    The whole battle was two minutes thereabouts. The difference in time is explainable: I was eating while recording lmao.

    Duo Palla's sheer Atk, coupled with the attack bonus from Mirror Impact, proved too much for the reds, and the Duo skill allowed for insane range. Cherche mopped up the rest, Sully included.

     

  3. That's quite okay. I'm a little more forgiving in that regard than I was several years back, though.

    I guess this could be a generational thing, or a predispositional thing: you'd have the chutzpah to remember the littlest detail with something you're definitely into (i.e, in my case: metal music; in @DragonFlames' case: JRPGs, for instance), and that quality sticks for that interest alone, you're not as observant of the littlest facts outside your interest.

    Teehee

    Doesn't unironically referring to things as "Postromantic" or "midromantic" or "Late Baroque" make me an elitist by default, though?

    Teehee.

    To a lesser degree, yes. It's when you get down to discussing notations and the feelings they evoke, and comparing these feelings to one another that full-blown elitist comes up (see "symphonic" vs "raw" black metal).

    Teehee

    But yeah, trigger happy cops are just violating their oaths to serve and protect. Good thing body cameras and cellphones are much more prevalent now. Hope they face swift justice just like George's murderer. I assume the charges in this scenario will be second degree murder or maybe first degree? If choking people was not obvious that it can be lethal, then I hope shooting people should be obvious that it could be lethal.

    *italics mine*

    There's certainly less nuance in shooting people (i.e, you need only check where the errant cop is aiming) as opposed to choke holds, where the giveaway (kinda crappy term to use, my apologies) would be the amount of time the target is in the hold, which makes the nature of the hold (blood vs air) irrelevant the longer it goes.
