Today was a weird day.
Whingey Wizzard had his Big Interview this morning, and while he said it was "excellent", they only promised him an answer by the weekend. So we wait, and I continue to be afraid to be optimistic about it, lest I jinx it by being happy/excited.
And today was a particularly awful day for a whole bunch of people I love.
** spoiler omitted **
And on that note, I will shut up!

No. But it does know Wang Chung.

I don't see how that could be possible.

Not trying to engage you if you don't want, as by nature I am one of the children of wrath and very much enjoy fulfilling the desires of the flesh and mind =) But I was gonna say that the UMC actually did pretty well by LGBT folks when you consider the votes, even though the supportive lost, considering you're asking many people to essentially rewrite their long held biblical morality. That's a tough sell. I find it pleasing there was as much support as there was. edit: Though it would have been cool if each church was allowed to make their own decision, that would have been a nice outcome.

Ranged weapons tend to hit before melee attacks.

*Hi paws Sharoth*
Though I feel that the powers that be judge more on what you do rather then how many times you pray per day. Live your life not trying to make someone's day worse, and when possible make it better instead, and you've lived a fulfilling one. And have no issues answering to the powers that be.
Sure, I ain't no Saint, but I'm no devil either.

The basis of any religion is to spread the word and grow - what is the easier way then starting up a family and spread it to the next generation.
If I may quote the verse for this:
Genesis 9:7
As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.
Sure, gay/les couples can adopt but the process is full of hurdles etc which have been discussed before. So I can understand where UMC is coming from. That does not mean I approve of what they did, but I can see their point of view.

I'm kind of like that too. While these movies are great for kids (and I'll watch em with kids), they often don't really capture me that well. I don't go that often to the movies, so if I'm going it for something I really, really, really want to see.
All that said, recently it will require even more arm-twisting to get me to see a Marvel/DC movie, as I'm suffering from sever super hero fatigue.
Ugh, I know what you mean. I'm still a sucker for the supers genre, but after seeing X-Men Apocalypse and Justice League I've begun approaching the whole genre with extreme trepidation.
(It's not just those two movies that did it, they just really highlighted the supers-ism of "Aim our one unstoppable godlike super at the otherwise invincible bad guy, win." Doesn't work in TTRPGs, doesn't work in team movies.)

I've kinda been the same. I keep finding myself alone on the internet in having thought Infinity War was a waste of time. But so, so many of the movies coming out anymore are not just superhero movies, but superhero movies that keep thinking they have to raise the stakes to tell a pretty basic story. And they don't.
Why can't superheroes have fun anymore? (Not that it helped Deadpool. Felt like I paid ten bucks to look at someone's terrible meme collection.)
For once, DC seems to have it right - Shazam! looks like a blast.

the only time I laughed was during deadpool 2, when *all* the x men(save colossus) noped out of the movie, very quietly.

Sorry to hear about the UMC decision LM, that sucks for all LGBT folks involved. :(

Of course, I think we freethinkers of all varieties have a lot of catching up to do, PR and institution-wise. :)

My bounty on Red Dead Redemption 2 is now up to $295.
You can thank the Great Valentine Sheep massacre for that.
And the crossroads robbery with entirely too many witnesses.
Also the the countless people I accidentally shot in the face trying to talk them (hold down R2 get a talking menu, hold down L2 draw your gun and shoot in the face, I forget which is which).
Edit: Shit, is that right!?

Oh I haven't seen anything about Shazam, is he the Marvel super with lightning powers?
...As opposed to DC's Black Lightning?
...It's kind of amazing how many DC-Marvel parallels there are.
Anyway, yeah, supers franchises do too much stakes-raising. I've come to the opinion that saving the world/galaxy/universe should be a franchise-ending story. Make it epic, then make way for another (set of) supers.
I love both Deadpool movies.
Mrs. Sunrise and I loved the first one, we keep meaning to see #2.
