Staunch Trump supports were never going to vote for Hillary, but I thought I made it pretty obvious that I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking about the millions of moderates that actually gave Trump the advantage. The people that will vote either way depending on the candidate. Not everyone in this country is so strictly partisan.
If you're given a choice between Trump and Clinton, and you are genuinely unsure of which one to choose, you're not a moderate. Being a moderate does not mean you think all candidates are worthy of equal individual consideration—the only people who think this way are children who don't have the right to vote anyway, because they're ignorant. Being a moderate just means you find yourself in the center of the political spectrum. That means, if you're a real moderate, more extreme candidates are going to turn you away. Pretty much every single person who voted for Trump had an agenda. Virtually none of them were moderates, because a moderate would've considered Trump to be the joke candidate that he was.

October's NES games just dropped today, so I'll be posting reviews for each very soon.
On top of the three promised games, we received a surprise fourth game—a "special edition" of The Legend of Zelda which gives you all the items in the game right at the start. Uh, all right then. I'm more interested in the concept itself, and I wonder where they'll go with it in the future.
I also finally beat Gradius the other day... with suspend points. Some day I'll be good enough at it to not need any at all.

More than anything else, I'm upset that we've sworn in a partisan judge. Which should just be not be a thing, especially when it's a lifelong position.

i don't know, i think it sucks for him that his poor decision blew up in his face and i think he has a right to be in his feelings over it
but he shouldn't be suing because he gave them a deal, and that was the deal

How fairs the search?
just far enough to feel like a journey, just few enough to feel extremely rewarding when i do find something great most recently, i discovered this— A Well-Ordered Restaurant—a short horror film that's gorgeous in every way, and will probably top the list i make for that year when the time comes trying to catch up on things made in the last decade as well

I'm interested in revamping my rating system a bit. Watching a show, but only giving my thoughts (if I have any at all) after I've already completed or dropped it is starting to become a bit stale for me, so I think I'll try this instead:
When I try a new show, I'll give my thoughts on the first episode, which should only take a couple of sentences. Then I'll rate the episode out of 10 like normal, but this time, I'll add either the letter Y or the letter N to the rating—and this letter will denote whether I'll continue to watch the rest of the show.
Y means yes, I'll continue watching the show for as long as I please—I might still decide to drop it later, and I'll talk about why when the day comes, but I might just decide to complete it, as well.
N means no, I'm pretty much done here. I firmly believe that no show is dropped forever, and I'm open to returning to just about anything, but if I'm going to continue watching a show I've rated N, I'm gonna need some serious convincing.
For obvious reasons, only shows rated with 5/10 or below will be assigned a Y or N—because if I like a show, it's a given that I'm going to keep watching it. I can envision a situation where a show is markedly decent, but not engaging enough for me to care to continue—I can think of one show offhand where this applies—but these will probably be rare.
I'm also gonna try to avoid submitting blank reviews from now on, but more as a personal challenge. Sometimes a show is just boring and nondescript, and I don't wanna waste anyone's time giving them my thoughts on a show they'll never see or hear about again. But to help strengthen my writing, I think it's good practice to try explaining things that are otherwise mundane and difficult to explain. It'll also just make me look less lazy.

the thing about nerdwriter is that he makes the sort of content that i would like to make
so if i were to fulfill my vision of becoming a video essayist on youtube, the prospect of having to actively worry about differentiating myself from these fucking middlebrow assholes is one of the scariest and most discouraging things to me

If this is really such a problem, maybe you'd prefer a socialist paradise like China where there is no work/life balance, just work, because everybody lives in fear of being replaced.
i would in fact highly prefer this

there's no need to get ultra sun or ultra moon if you already have sun or moon, honestly—the new additions weren't nearly enough to justify their existence, imo
the ace attorney series is very anime, but given the subject matter, you might actually find some appeal in it
you have five very solid zelda games to choose from: MM3D, OoT3D, ALBW, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks (ordered from best to worst, in my opinion—i'd play OoT before MM if you haven't already, though)
between new leaf and wild world, you have some animal crossing games to choose from if you're interested—if you haven't played one before, the appeal of these games will not be immediately apparent, as it's basically a life simulator and neighborhood management simulator with cutesy animals, which makes it sound like utter shit, but it's actually a pretty uniquely comfortable and soothing experience that no other game i know of offers
mario kart DS or 7, of course—7 is probably better, but DS has a much better roster because it lets you play as ROB the robot
the original new super mario bros for DS (aka the last 2D mario game with a soul) is solid
kirby super star ultra is the only kirby game you'll ever need to play if you ever wanted to try one
don't bother getting mario maker because you can't upload levels in the DS version, it fucking sucks
some people will probably recommend fire emblem or bravely default or some weeby-type RPG shit—don't bother with any of that, but you can maybe try chrono trigger if you want to try a classic
GTA chinatown wars was a thing that happened, never played it myself but i think it's supposed to be good
smash 4 if you want to scratch that itch before ultimate comes out, portable smash is pretty sweet
metroid: samus returns is not an ideal starting point if you've never played a metroid game before, but it wouldn't be a bad choice if you have (it's a remake of metroid 2 for the original game boy, for the record)
kid icarus uprising and luigi's mansion: dark moon are games i don't think you'd be interested in, but they're worth mentioning
