I've always thought that this thread was named after someone thinking out loud while he's making up his mind on what to order at McDonald's.

WOW. Nosy much?
Do you have a record player for the vinyls or are they just for collecting?
Less being nosy and more of getting me to pay extra, I'd like to think.
Yes, I got a turntable to play the vinyls on. Mine's a (slightly, compared to the more high-end models--and yes, there are STILL high-end models) portfolio turntable that retails for about $120 brand new. As far as collecting habits go, I sometimes buy two editions of the same album--a gatefold or picture disc one and the standard one for playing (if I really like the album of course).

Okay well I did try and make an adjustment.
If my efforts are not good enough then I want to know why.
Social blind spots and all that. I’m not trying to yank your chain.
What adjustment; where?
Cards-on-the-table time: I'm an atheist, and while I believe that organized religion has done more harm than good and has practically held man back as a species in numerous fronts, I don't go around being militant and shove that belief up people's chins. I don't go around and quote Carlin's "Religion is Bullshit" routine from 1999 every chance I could; I adopt a more moderate stance and quote his "Religious Lift" routine from 1975 ("...religion is a lift in your shoe, man. If you need it, cool. Just don't let me wear your shoes if I don't want 'em...") whenever I'm asked about my belief system, or lack thereof.
Which brings me to your stance, which is definitely hardline in comparison to mine. You brought up Stalin being an atheist in one thread (obviously referring to his Five-Year Plan), blithely dismissing the fact that he was a deacon and simply played the religious game the way he played von Ribbentrop and the Nazis. You go around thinking that run-of-the-mill atheists find it a little more than curious that you can profess your faith and keep your orientation, and that they always stress the mutual exclusivity of both views, much to your chagrin. If you think those factors come into play for what I think about you and your case, I reply with the title of a classic Judas Priest tune.
I got no beef with your sexuality. I do take umbrage to, no, let me scratch that: I have a major psychological fucking hatred of your cavalier approach towards atheists and secular humanists, thinking that they'll always take the same approach towards you and what you stand for.

Delivery is not a problem on my end (I don't mind a 2-3 week wait). It's local customs in my neck of the woods that's killing me oftentimes. I was once asked if I was engaging in piracy because of the sheer volume of music I buy (the physical form anyway). I told them: I can understand your logic with the CDs, but I'm also ordering vinyls, and you're asking me to secure some permit for both?

Idk that the term window shopping is also used in the digital shopping world...
It's not that far of a reach, I think 😄 you are after all, looking at a (browser) window.
I do my window shopping on Amazon too, although whenever I shop for CDs/vinyls/band tees, I go to the record labels themselves: Peaceville, Century Media, Nuclear Blast, and Season of Mist, to name a few.

Offering Renown to the Saint Cethleann statue gives you extra points towards Lances and Faith. Guess what Flayn's strengths are.
When the Saints were introduced, you could notice Flayn being a little too excited to introduce the fourth Saint after Macuil, Indech, and Cichol.

Correct. Although I know little of his style, beyond being demagogic, far right-wing, shoot drug users on the spot(?), and uses social media to get his message across in ways that critics believe social media companies are being irresponsible in allowing.
You've hit much of the high points, with the exception of his
class,er, drug war. What he is, simply put, is a bonafide trapo (colloquial: traditional politician, also what we call "dirty rags," which is very much apt) who leveraged social media to buttress up his image and is able tofoolconvince people, time and again, that he serves the best interests of the commonfolk, when local events point to the premise completely backwards. -

I don’t necessarily assume malicious intent on the part of the person, but rather complacency.
What a crock of shit.
Remember the "bold strokes" statement I made in one of your other threads? You're still doing it, after apologizing, no less. People who don't even hold a view consonant with the case you are pleading are put WAY OFF by that cavalier attitude of yours.

I still love him for his "throwing crumbs to the wind" bit.

I listen to a few bands that have songs with far right-wing undertones, but I'd like to think I'm center-left. I certainly don't own a pair of jackboots, nor will I want to get a pair any time soon.

After a short talk with @eclipse, I'm perfectly fine with banning Chaos Orbs.

Can you, once and for all, accept that for every movement, secular or otherwise, there will always be gradations from the perceived norm? Is actual representation of your advocacy THAT important to you, or are you simply giving knee-jerk reactions to all comers for shits and giggles?

Hell, you're already going there, thanks.

Is that Washington State or the DC area? I'm guessing the latter since you bring up Boston and NYC.Boston and the DC area are teeming with history, if you're into that. Barring allergies, food ain't a problem either for the three places you have in mind.

Did Agarthan came up ability to create their own crest? Did they use dragon blood (or even captives) for some experiment like Forneus? Did they also have a dragon (either willingly or unwilling participant) on their side?
Hope the Abyss mode sheds light on that possibility, for sure.
