You're just setting yourself up for further disappointment.

I'm optimistic to a fault
This. I like Bernie's ideals, but he doesn't stand a chance in hell.

Nope. Bernie's failure gives me hope!
But that's probably just the upper class blood in me.

Gross but not surprising.
I should know better than to expect a rich white girl to look outside of her own circumstance :/
oh even I felt the bern there
Bernie has no path to the nomination, it's a fool's hope. Even if he could win the regular delegates, have you ever heard of super delegates?
It's not possible, it is really cute though seeing young people run around excited about something

The majority of superdelegates would switch to his side if he would get a pledged delegate lead.
That would certainly happen. If it wouldn't, the party would have a massive schism which would cause all kinds of problems in the general election.

I think you would be surprised at how many charities I support and how many service missions I've been on. I simply don't trust the government to take care of people in the most efficient nor helpful manner.
Helping people is about more than liking articles on Facebook and attending a convention because your crush is going to be there, and it's about more than asking someone else to do the work for you. It's about actually donating your own time and money to services you believe in.
schism... another word I love
I'm not saying donating your time and money are bad, they're good and positive things, but problems like poverty and lack of access to healthcare, both of which have abysmally high rates in our country, can only be solved by government. Whether you trust it to or not, there's no other way to address it. Private citizens donating their time hasn't solved the problem

I've spent the last half hour still in bed glancing back and forward into that Trump foreign policy thread and cackling like a madman.
You don't have to justify yourself to me, although that probably is pretty telling of your conscience right now.
I happen to believe that a function of government is addressing the systemic issues that cause those less fortunate to fall through the cracks. If that makes me naive, then judge away.
I won't list off what I do with my own charitable efforts because it would seem retaliatory at this point but what I will say is that your assumptions about me are false. Additionally, you trying to weaponize my personal life is extremely off-putting.
But I guess it would be logical to assume that you did that because I offended you. Let me be the first to apologize for that.

I didn't even bother reading it because I knew it would all be inane refuse.
Watching one Trump rally almost did me in. The way he can say absolutely nothing at all and have his supporters eat it up is something else.

My oldest brother is a Trump voter and my sister wants to get out of the country in case Trump wins.

FUCK THE LAST OF US
Sorry, but I'm sick of this game getting hailed as the pinnacle of game storytelling. Was the story good? Yes, especially the character interactions and development. Great? For its genre, maybe. Is it overrated? Hell yes.
People who post one word/picture answers are also awful human beings.
Excuse me as I wallow in salt. I'd probably get banned for insulting TLoU on gaming side.

The Last of Us was a really solidly told story, well acted, well written -- All very uncommon things in video games. In my opinion it's the best executed story in a video game to date.

I had the misfortune of stumbling upon it and it was like watching a family dinner table politics conversation, except it's not just family, it's an entire demographic.
Super fascinating and terrifying

I retaliated because you attacked me. You called me gross and inconsiderate which couldn't be further from the truth. I have the right to defend myself and you shouldn't belittle that.
Look, I know Bernie supporters mean well, I just happen to disagree on whether his policies would lead to a better world overall. I think this is a hot-button issue and everybody has a different opinion because they have a different perspective. But please understand that just because I advocate a different path towards alleviating sickness and poverty doesn't mean I am okay with people suffering.
A simple illustration: medical care costs more than people can afford, so Bernie wants to spend more taxes to subsidize the cost of the care. I would vastly prefer medical care just didn't cost as much to begin with. There are so many ways that could be done: reduce regulations, increase the reach of medical education via internet programs, limit how much medicine can cost, et cetera.
Thats what you get when you're willing to shell out for actors like Ellen page
You should see some of the guys I workout with at the gym, or well I lift with them but not anywhere close to them lol
I agree.

All the time. I've always been an inbetweener but you learn that it's actually a good thing rather than a setback.
Still have the awkward feelings now and then

The way I see it, a story can have a bunch of shit to it but if the lasting effect of it is not heartfelt I don't care. It's the only game to make me legit tear up and I think thats a testament to that.

Nope.
Ashley Johnson is Ellie's voice actor. Ellie's original character model had a big resemblance to Ellen Page but they redesigned her. Page was never attached to the project.

Not really. If I post something and no one responds to it I just figure it's not a subject people want to talk about or feel like they have an appropriate response towards. I try to learn from this and get a better feel for the room next time.
Regarding your previous post, I have no idea why you have 18K Twitter followers. I also have no idea what your Twitter profile is so I can't easily look into it. That's a hell of a lot more followers than I have! But I rarely post anything so it doesn't bother me. It does make me curious why, if you have that many followers, you were struggling to get 100 subs on YouTube earlier. Is it just a completely different audience?
I love the episode of TNG when there's a trial to disprove that this woman is a deity, and Data is arbitrating
I agree.
All the time.
I'll bite. What's better story-wise? You see, in my opinion, nothing else even really is in the same league, so it's easy.

I agree.
I'm curious what you think is your favourite story in games?
(I don't mean this to start a debate about TLoU, I genuinely am curious due to tastes and whatnot)
I really feel like I came into my own, acting wise, in Devil's Due. I felt that Data's nature, as a character, really gave me a great perspective of the script.
Devil's Due is fucking rad. Ardra, the lass who claims she's the Devil, kills it in that ep. Also Data being Data.
Wasn't she?

Xenogears, Metal Gear Solid 2, Xenosaga, Suikoden II, Suikoden V,...
RPGs in particular tend to tell much more intricate stories than a game like TLoU. TLoU is up there, but far from the best. I can take the same comment about other games not being in the same league and apply it to the games above, in order of best to worst.
I wonder if you would say the same thing about MLK supporters if you were from that time.
Your cynicism doesn't make you cool, it makes you cynical.
