I accidentally spotted you on tumblr earlier, bwarch, you'd liked a post by a tumblr I follow, and I recognized your avatar by chance. Small internet, huh?

Oh you have no idea.
I was perusing a Justin Bieber song slowed down 800% and found in the comment section a comment made by a composer I really love. It's always cool when stuff like that happens.

Which Tumblr/post was it out of curiousity?

We didn't get Superstar Saga so it wasn't worth it.

But we got Wario Land 4 and Metroid Fusion, so it was totally worth it.

Bahahaha, I do love me some snarky responses. Lots of good art from there too~ Friend of mine got reblogged to there and she was so weirded out/ecstatic when her post breached 1k notes.

Just heard about the beheading in London. Usually I don't keep up with the news, but it seems crazy to me that this even happened. My sympathies to the victim's family.

Strangely enough, the beheading didn't seem crazy to me (even though there is every reason to). What I thought was crazy was how the killers would just talk to people filming it, and the armed cops took 20 (TWENTY!!) minutes to get there.
Yes, it is great that in the UK you don't (didn't?) need your regular cops to carry guns because gun control is pretty good over there. But this just took way too long. What if they wanted to do more harm? They had virtually all the time in the world.

And no, I do not agree with gun legalization. That is (partially) what doomed the US.

It's necessary to take into account that London's roads were mostly designed when there were like 8,000 cars in Britain. Now, there are much more. It's also necessary to take into account the sheer number of people in London. It had a population of ~8 million in 2011. To put that into perspective: your region/country/conglomeration of states (i.e., the Netherlands, whatever you would classify it as) has maybe 16 million people total. Hell, Sweden has like 9 million people. You're talking about a capital with the population of an entire country here. It does not matter who you are, or how important it is -- it is nigh-impossible to get across London quickly. It's simply too congested, a living city that refuses to draw to a halt for two lunatics. 20 minutes, in this context? Not ideal, no, but fully understandable. Especially considering specialist officers (i.e. carrying guns) had to be dispatched. It's all very well to grumble and say 'twenty minutes, they could have killed a hundred people in that time', but realistically, considering it was unexpected and considering how understaffed police in general are in this country, it's difficult to get even that quick of a response.

As to whether our cops should carry guns on normal duty? No. I think not. We have maybe one incident like this every three to four years, in which maybe one or two people die (our last terrorist attack of this media scale was the 7/7 bombings, which aren't even in the same category and wouldn't really have been helepd by armed police anyway since no one saw it coming. And the last time armed police were in the media was maybe Raoul Moat?). To say we suddenly need our police to carry firearms because two religious extremists crawled out of the woodwork is... well, I'm not going to say foolish, but I would say it's an over-reaction that borders on hysteria. It would be an extreme change to our way of policing, and you'd need a lot more than two nutters to justify both it, and the costs of equipping and training those officers to handle live firearms. Moral implications I know nothing about, but it'd be impractical in the extreme at a time when our economy is ill-suited for soaking the cost.

As for the whole gun legalisation thing... I'm not going to get on that, since it tends to attract a bunch of really annoyed Americans.

More like, "Tastes like windblown dirt and assorted debris."
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

Right now my 12 year old brother is watching a video of YouTube stars reacting to YouTube Rewind Style. Half of them were in the video, why do we need a video of them watching a crappy video they're all in?!

It's basically the plot and dialogue of Pocahontas but the two main characters John and Pocahontas are replaced by Roy and Edward(FMA).
Sometimes, the summary of fanfiction is the best part of the entire story.

Make sure you don't have internal injuries. If you think you do, you might want to go see a doctor.
