"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

Sailor Jupiter was the best one, so obviously that's why they used the hair.

Wait, what? No way, I had a very manly crush on Sailor Mercury so obviously everyone should be dressed like Ami. :p

Q14. You absolutely will not:


1. Sit in an airplane circling in a holding pattern for two hours
2. Admit that you were ever turned on by a comic book character ✔
3. Walk through the desert for a week
4. Do software development

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

    Is there room for Karen Metal in this thread?

    This isn't as funny in a laugh out loud way as Valhalleluja or And Then I Noticed That She Was A Gargoyle but it's the most spot on (power/true) metal parody of them so far. :p

    Fire in the sky! ;)

    Sometimes we all need to be reminded what "great" sounds like.

    That sounds like Dragonforce, just with more girls.

    Which means I approve.

    It's a lot less embarrassing than the only metal I like, which is just...silly, fluffy video game/television stuff from a girl who's not even a metal artist and who doesn't even remotely try to sing like she's doing metal (...which is I guess why I like it, since I can't ever stand metal-ized vocals - I'll take sickly sweet and soft metal, thank you very much). At least those girls are sort of acting like they're doing metal.

    That and Radio Disney, of course, :p:

    Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

    It's been too long since I've posted some Moonspell:

    I probably linked that song three times already, and got no reactions. Guess this one won't be any different. 😃

    Reminds me alot of His Infernal Majesty

    Eh, HIM is dark/gothic rock and Moonspell is an actual gothic/black metal band with a vocalist that doesn't try to drown out their band mates incessant ineptitude. Although going purely from the posted video, you're not wrong (for the record, I like HIM :p).

    Moonspell does have a lot of more experimental stuff too. They probably have an album for everyone.

    edit:

    Well look at Moonspell releasing new stuff that basically proves me wrong. Haha.

     

    Yeah, this is HIM 2.0 all right. :p
