People rarely care about those religious values.
It's just "hey christian values are good" and everyone nods while most probably didn't even visit the church on sunday in several years.

Was from yesterday, but just noticed, so whatever.

Anyway. It should probably be noted the bible says basically fuck all about church attendance, and at points is pretty much explicitly against it. Attendance has pretty much nothing to do with cleaving to christian values. It's a fairly terrible heuristic to evaluate how faithful and/or attentive to scripture someone is, really. All the structural/social shit getting in the way.

... gets kinda' annoying to see that measure used so much. Bloody church structure trying to jam itself down everyone's throat.

That... sounds kinda' nice?  Some time with less light pollution sounds good...

Do they even have a coherent platform these days? I remember hearing things about their convention.

Though from what I recall, whoever it was that was their main candidate (have forgotten the name, don't care to check, since the party is about as important as my cat's left testicle at the moment) was little better than trump, and a metric shitton worse than clinton.

H... have you forgotten bernie's political history, sluissa? Like. Do you really not see why someone that has been part of the democratic party of decades would get more support than someone that was openly antagonistic towards them until basically the start of the primaries? Who has walked into a presidential campaign attempt after having given more or less zero support to the democratic party beforehand? It's like a first-day intern demanding the CEO give them full financial support for their pet project.

I'm not quite sure what you're expecting, here, slui. It would beggar the mind if the democratic party had thrown substantial support behind bernie, especially considering the circumstances of his campaign. I like the guy but good gods, no, the democratic party is pretty close to entirely in the right how they've treated him. He's literally trying to leech off their name for more recognition, and that they're letting him do that much is probably more generous than they actually have any particular obligation to be.

And ninja'd, but eh.

Also doesn't help that the guy's "policy" statements trend towards pretty vacuous. Hard to address something that's not really there, never mind it changing a few days later. Y'can say they're empty, but they do that anyway.

Anyone who thinks this is the last you're going to hear of "Servergate" or whatever they're calling it, is whistling past the graveyard so hard even the dead are plugging their ears. This will continue to be raised as an issue by the Republicans from now through her entire Presidency.

Pretty sure no one that's paid the least bit of attention thinks this means the U.S. anti-clinton folks are going to stop harping on it. Frankly, God itself could come down and absolve her of all blame before the entire world and they still wouldn't stop harping on it. It just means their bullshit is even more bullshit than it already was.

Which was about what anyone that was paying the least bit of attention was expecting, really :V

Man, that earlier stuff... in that, the triforce is not something you want to actually use because it's something that can fuck with you hard, from what I recall. I still very distinctly remember link growing tusks and becoming massively aggressive after picking up the power one. Was in one of the comics, not the games, but... still. Dunno how prevalent it is in the newer stuff, but there was definitely something of a thread of thought in the earlier about how the triforce had some serious mental side effects going on. Power was the most obvious, but iirc even courage and wisdom would screw with you, never mind the whole thing. Basically not something you use very often/at all, lest you turn into a giant world conquering pig or somethin'.

... though yeah, if you're looking for something to watch that's a bit of a ride, consider Dead Leaves if y'all haven't seen it yet. It's just a movie, but it's a hell of a movie.
