    It seems that ever since the season finale of FiM people haven't been on the forums as of late. All my role-plays are either dead or at a standstill(meaning the roleplay starters forgot about the roleplays) I am starting up several role plays of my own but to know avail.
    So i am pretty certain that people are avoiding me because i might come off as...something. Not sure of the word but i know i might come off as it. persistent maybe? or maybe i just lack patience. I don't know I just turn into a social butterfly when im online and want to talk and constantly post on the forums when im online...and drink.

    Camo rifles, deer pee in a bottle..high powered optics...these are some of the tools that hunter's use against sometimes endangered animals. I am no Peta nut...i do enjoy a nice slab of meat. I do feel that hunting for sport, is the most cowardice thing someone could do...right along with rape and child abuse.
     
    On my Facebook, I follow Ted Nugent cause I was in that whole AMERICA, f**k yeah! phase. I followed him just to let my friends know that I am the ultimate patriot. Then that phase passed when the country REALLY took a dive into the sewers.
     
    Now, all I see from Ted Nugent is him and his family posing with dead animals. Like....really? Is he trying to be manly? Is he trying to say, "I am better than you, Mother Nature!" Cause all that says to me is, "I'm really an ego driven coward who gets his kicks treating smaller or defenseless creatures and beings like crap."
     
    So you have a camouflaged rifle, with 12x zoom and laser pointer? Cool, go fight a war on terrorism. Last time I checked a deer, lion, or elephant only have what they were born with and a few tall bushes if their habit wasn't wiped away by deforestation. Oh and your yards away from their ability to detect you? WOW, YOU ARE SOME KIND OF LEGEND!
     
    You want to hunt? Use a bow and arrow/knife. Give the animal a chance to fight back. Hunters wont cause they are too cowardly.
     
    Yes, I know in some countries like Africa hunting is a means to survive. But in Africa they dont have guns that cost $1,200!!! Well....maybe the pirates do, but thats another topic in itself.
     
    Ted Nugent was crying that anti-hunting groups are 'picking' on an archer that hunted animals..the bow she was using in the picture from the article was a composite bow with all these mods. In one of the comments this lady said, "Jokes on them when they cant hear this girl kill them."
     
    Shut the buck up, lady...stealth is good for real combat. Competition hunting? PHOOEY! Might as well put the hunters in a treehouse in a zoo where they can easily kill but never get harmed by the animals.
     
    If you are a hunter who hunts animals for fun, then I feel bad for your sociopathic brain.

    I hate college

    By Rainbow Dash,

    So tomorrow i start my first day back to college and boy does it suck. I really hate my college since its mostly hardcore liberals who hate america. They constantly down talk America's military even if there is a soldier in the room. I have to go due to health insurance crap, otherwise i would join the military.
    I know once i get into the swing of things it won't be so bad, but still. The people at my college are either druggies, gang members, or snobs. The only people i can stand there are the outcasts. People like me who keep to themselves and only speak when spoken to. Now i would just go into the military but my parental units said if i do then i can find somewhere else to live.
    I really dread going back to my college. I dress unique and whenever i go down there people like to stare at my clothing. I feel i will also get criticized for wearing pony merchandise such as pins and shirts. i might just bail halfway through the semester.

    In the early hours of a grey morning, I started messing around on my phone. As I tried to browse the internet on my iPhone 10 I noticed a lot of annoying things that shouldn’t be a thing. 
    For Example:  when you open a new page on safari as soon as it looks like it’s down loading, everything in the page moves 4 inches up or down cause surprise surprise, three different ads load in. Either load in the ads with the page or no ads at all!! I can not count how many times I click on a link but 2 seconds later that link jumps around and an ad loads in its place. 
    Another thing: charging cables. Why make them out of delicate plastics all the time if you’re gonna charge us anywhere from $6-$30? 
    Do away with Captchas. They don’t help anyone. Bots can get past them easily since bots are basically the ones who made captchas. Well some anyways. Furthermore they neglect to inform you if they are case sensitive. 
    Touchscreen smartphones need to be abandoned cause there is no way to calibrate them properly(at least for iOS). By nature I type fast, and for some reason iOS never registers half the letters i push. Leaving it up to autocorrect to save me time. Which it never does. If I press one inch left of the center of a button, IT SHOULD STILL REGISTER!
    actuall, let’s nuke all touchscreen smart phones cause holy hand baskets ever since iOS introduced even more touch gestures, it’s a literal battle to do anything with your phone. Got an app you don’t need? Good luck deleting it caus for iOS just pressing and holding won’t let you delete it. You have to preform a breakdance with four fingers to delete it.

    I've been kinda lurking on this website for the past few months and I have been seeing topics from 2012. Topics asking what my favourite something or other is keeps popping up yet I am certain I already replied to that topic. I look and the topic was created within this year.....wait. WHAT?! I thought the mods and admins didnt like duplicate topics? I mean they are duplicates arent they? Or is "Whats your favourite x?" different from "What Is Your Favourite X, forums?".

    Ive also seen threads from 2012-2013 that had little to no replys pop up as new topics. Not someone bumping an old topic, I mean full on someone recreated a topic already made up.  I can olnly think of three things that might have happened...

    1. Older data was lost from the servers therefore topics made before all the websites became one were either lost, still there, or corrupted.
    2. Mods and Admins are slipping up and allowing duplicate threads
    3, Two instances of this Universe are colliding, revealing tachyons are real

    Number One

    By Rainbow Dash,

    Sometimes i wonder why its so hard to stay mad. Like.....a friend's bf told me off because I valued Nvidia over AMD. They bombarded me with rude insults that would make anyone fire back. Im talking dissin the way your parents brought you up and comparing them of people with ill repute. However, I just shrug it off. I just let their words sink in and have maybe 2 minutes of "You wanna go? I will tussle!" but then I laugh and do art or play video games.

    Its gonna sound weird but, I want to be the Steven Ogg of my friends...the person no one insults or tries to tussle with. Though, I get too lazy to hold onto any negative emotions or feelings for too long. I always gotta have something occupying my mind, or at least, make me sweat. If i could make a computer that was powered by me jogging, id totally be that dude

    TWO YEARS! Mind you i was always signed in on my phone BUT STILL.

    It took me two whole years but i am back on a proper set up. I have a gaming desktop minus an actual GPU but still! I have a desktop that was sort of built by myself all for under 700 dollars -thanks to mail in rebates.-.

    How to make a tulpa

    By Rainbow Dash,

    Step 1: want a tulpa
    Step 2: envision the tulpa
    Step 3: think of the characteristics you want it to have.
    Step 4: wait, it's not working.
    Step 5: try harder
    Step 6: think of how they would look.
    Step 7: why is this not working
    Step 8: seriously, it's not working. Tulpas are lies
    Step 9: give up
    Step 10: pretend you have a tulpa
    Step 11: cry to yourself
    Step 12: repeat until a tulpa appears.
     
    If I'm wrong then let a tulpa suddenly appear for me.....

    Goodbye all

    By Rainbow Dash,

    Just like the title says. For christmas I got one dead Grandma. Nothing else. My uncle came over Christmas day saying we can't use any of my grandma's money and that he will have to pull all of her money from the banks. I dont really have an interest in living anymore. I wont have a family to come home to. I wont have a home to come home to, but at least i have a job.
     
    I wish I could live with a group of bronies in a big house, but that will never happen. I dont know if I can use internet anymore, so this year might be the last year for me on the site. I hope it isnt because I have met some really awesome people on here.
     
    Half of me thinks im over reacting, while the rest of me thinks that im not reacting enough. Maybe my life will only go uphill from here...or maybe....i havent even hit the bottom yet.
     
    People around me say that i need to hang in there and tough it out....easy for them to say...they have never gone through what i am going through.
     
    Since day one, my home was all I knew. It was a place for comfort, stress relief and warm memories. I am 23 now, and yes while some people have already have a college degree,i have been busy trying to fight for mine. I know everyone does, but one class i had doesnt want to give me a passing grade no matter how many times I try to re-submit a paper they claim they never got.
     
    I have also been fighting with every place that was looking for new employee's to get a job there. They always said that I was gonna be great for their store...but never a call back. I finally got a job, but im not making enough money to get a place of my own.
     
    Someone take me to Equestria ;_;

    AHA! Got you in my click bait, now I get to rant to you.
     
    So I havent been active on here at all. Mostly using the private messenger and what not. The reason for that is simple...im busy. Though now that I think about it, its more about avoiding drama.
     
    Pony websites are filled with people who take things too harshly. For example, I can say to someone who is looking for critique, 'Hey, this needs to be improved on'. They will in turn say, 'That was uncalled for, im reporting you.' On some pony sites its treated as the person getting butthurt over nothing.
     
    SOME other pony websites warn you saying it provided 'nothing to the topic'. Sure, i understand; you have 12 year olds as mods who know bugger all about conversations or dealing with problems. That isnt my fault for when they warn, ban or kick me from things. In fact, its the websites problem for allowing such horrible mods to be in power.
     
    "Oh, but so and so is friends with this mod which is why they're a mod." 'Ok', i say, 'but that just strengthens my point that the websites responsible for crappy mods'
     
    I like how many mods of different pony websites forget that they are not free from the law no matter what country they are in. I know of a pony website where all the mods are real buddy buddy and when they dont like a person the ban them from the site with no grounds. Little do these mods realise that they themselves can get sued for misconduct and negligence.
     
    Im venting here cause at least the mods are chill....Also, quick shout out to Artemis for not kicking me out of his hotel room last bronycon lol.
     
    This is good chance to segway over to my next rant...
     
    I was on this one pony site that had forum games. This new guy shows up and proclaims himself to be the toughest most bad*** person on the forums. Quite sad really...anyways, he got maybe two or three people to play along by saying he killed them. He then came after me on the thread which was cute in the beginning.
     
    Then he PM'ed me saying "Ok, so i kill you and i'll say you put up a fight."
     
    I cringed and laughed at the same time. Dude had a gas mask on and some roman quote trying to make himself out to be really hardcore.
     
    I told him to bugger off and that i wasnt gonna stroke his ego then he blew up at me like a cry baby.
     
    Yes, im being harsh but the dude was harassing me and where i come from we dont go looking for someone to help deal with minor nuisances.

    I Hate Love

    By Rainbow Dash,

    So people have been saying love is good for you. I say blah! I've had love in my heart. Then I've had it selfishly thrown back into my face. Some people say I just have a bad luck. Other, like Dr. Drew Pinsky say I have a bad picker. I have no idea how to change these things. All I know is how to be myself and accept people. hmmmm.....maybe I let my heart effect my judgment.....naaaaaah.
  12. Rainbow Dash
    I do not like change....whether its good or bad. I am happy with things the way they are, but as soon as something drastically changes its automatically depressing for me. If I moved to a new house, I would be stuck thinking about all the good times I had in the previous house. If I got a new pet, I would be depressed since I would be thinking about how life was better not taking care of something else besides me. If I got a good paying job, I would be all emo about how I cant have fun times with my friends like I used to.
     
    Any sort of change sucks in my book. Whenever I see an anime and the ending is the main characters in the future, I get all sad cause they are not doing what they wanted to, or what I have come to expect.
     
    I think, whenever change does happen I withdraw to my room and isolate myself as a form of protection...protection from more changes happening to me. While I know I am not in control of what happens, it feels like I need to protect myself from things changing.

    So i have been away from this site for longer than I liked to have been. I normally wanted to take a break due to drama and real life issues affecting me. Now I want to come back to the forums, but for some reason I am not finding any reason to.
     
    I mean, I do have this site opened on a different tab(which is why im always online.). Rarely do i ever open the tab or even browse the site. Occasionally I do answer to a roleplay or two, but thats about it. Maybe I will post a status update for the heck of it, but that is about it.
     
    What is stopping me? Nothing really. I mean, its not like im avoiding this site for any reason other than its boring. Sure I do have some enemies on here, but like Winston Churchill once said: "you have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something in your life.".
     
    This is by no means meant to be offensive to anyone, but this site doesn't have the dazzle it once had when I first became a brony. Theres no appeal to coming to this site anymore except to see whats new with my role-plays and answering a few private messages.
     
    To be fair though, I haven't made an effort to come back to this site. Why havent I? When I first discovered this site, everything was awesome. Every thread I visited had chill people who had the whole 'love and tolerate' mantra and lived by it. Now it feels like most of the bronies I come across call you autistic or a spaghetti lord.
     
    They put you down and dont try to have a real conversation with you. Yeah I know, the fandom has changed in the last two years by growing more in people. and that most big fandoms like this have a few bad seeds; but when i first became a brony, I prided this fandom for not being like the others.
     
    Im going off what I wanted to write about x.x
     
    Im not writing this to say, "im quitting the fandom" or "im taking a break from the fandom" or even "I am quitting these forums". What I am trying to say is that the forums arent as fun as they were when I joined and I wanna know why.
     
    Is it because I havent been on the forums long enough to find a reason to stay on it and be as active as I used to be? Is it because the feeling of wonder and excitement of being part of something different has left my being? Maybe the reader can shed some light on this conundrum.

    It is human nature to be vain. So vain, that humans will harm themselves to get the perfect aesthetics as they possibly could. They will rip their muscles to make them bigger, they will inject chemicals that promise tone abs or bigger glutes. They will risk hernias, blown out discs in their spines all for that perfect shape. I am one of those people.
    I enjoy the strain on my body. It makes me feel good afterwards. The aching muscles, the inability to get up after you lay in your bed for one minute. In fact, a lot of people enjoy it....too many people.
    When I go to the gym, I have a list of what I need to do in order to build muscle and stay fit. My list requires me to go into the weight room where all the pompous, arrogant, and self righteous weight lifters are. I hate it, because these muppets think the whole gym revolves around them.
    There are rules placed ALL over the weight room. Rules such as: Rack your weights when finished(which means put the weights back on the racks instead of leaving them on a bar), use towels when working out(cause no one wants to touch someone else's butt sweat), and dont drop weights(because they bounce and make noise as well as cause damage to the floors).
    Almost no one follows these rules, which is annoying if you are the only one who does. It's expected of you to follow the rules in this gym since membership costs $400. Despite the high price, riff raff still are able to join.
    Getting back to my rant, I was looking to use a bar for my deadlifts. It had the exact amount of weight i needed. The only thing was, there was one of these arrogant bodybuilders using it. I decided to use another set of weights until he was done.
    10 minutes later the guy leaves and goes to a machine next to the bar that I needed. I decided to take a sip from my sports drink before heading over. As soon as I begin to head over the pillock rushes over to the bar and begins using it again.
    Miffed, I went back to my previous weights and waited another 10 minutes. The guy repeated himself again. He went to another machine and as soon as it looked like I was going for the bar he would jump over to it and act as if he was using it(which he wasn't. He would to one rep and then look at himself AND me in the mirror).
    I decided I will skip the bar for today and head home.
     
    I get that you need to workout too, but come on you infantile pillock! This isnt your gym, its the member's gym. It's not just this one guy, its all the bodybuilders out there. They have no consideration for the people around them. They are selfish and rude, thinking the world revolves around them.
    I know these bodybuilders obviously can't handle their testosterone, but can they at least try to act like humans instead of degenerates? I get that burst of testosterone too, but I don't strut around like I own everything.
     
    If you're going to workout and be a selfish child, stay home. You are ruining everyone elses time at the gym.

    I promised myself i wouldnt become one of these people who have nothing better to do than to analyze the media arts. For the time it took to write my analyzation/critique of the video I could have wrote more on my novella, or beat my video game.
     
    The video I am referring to:
     
    My analyzation:
     
    I dont get this video. There are so many illogical events in this, its like it was directed by the same director of The Room.
    Cops begin firing at Adam, even though he put down his gun. In a real situation, the cops wouldnt fire at all unless given the direct order from the highest ranking officer on the scene. Not only that, but they wouldnt fire at a suspect who put their gun down, or who had a hostage(not that she was).
     
    Also, Adam ran away from the cops? Unless he had an outstanding warrant out on him, there would be no reason for him to run away from the cops. Also, stealing a conveniently placed, badass car? How much cornier and cliched can you get? The song itself doesn't even match the damn video. Its a song about a girl leaving Adam out to hang/dry. Lets make a video about an innocent bank teller running from the cops and random explosions, followed by Wiz Khalifa rapping under a bridge. Let's not forget that Wiz dropped his car off at the valet, in front of a hotel-miles away from the bridge-, and Adam stole Wiz's car to escape. Did Wiz Khalifa turn into Spritle or Chim-Chim?

    I know I am a bit late on this, but i figure I might as well test myself.
     
    Also, if Im wrong i want you to know I dont care. Mostly because this kind of stuff doesnt concern me so much that it gets me fired up.
     
    Back in March or April, it was announced the United States government was going to take over the internet. It was said that the FCC was the only thing keeping the government from doing so.
     
    I won't get too into it, since you all probably know this by now; so im going to rant about it.
     
    I see this being a good thing for one thing only. This thing would be our rights would actually be enforced. Many a time have I been censored online or had my rights infringed upon because it hurt someones feelings.
     
    Sorry, but when i speak the truth you may not like it.
     
    However, this would also be a bad thing since this site would most likely be taken down.
     
    On top of that, 4chan would be taken down(although, thats not a bad thing.) which would cause a lot of backlash. Not from Americans, but from other countries.
     
    The internet is free to everyone, an follows the laws of the region its in. If the US took over the internet they would be taking over the world.

    I took a break from roleplaying on the forums to focus on Skype rps and my art. So far, my efforts in the two endeavours are proving to be all for naught.
     
    Whenever I role-play with someone on skype, I expect a certain amount of creativity or thought put into responses. Instead I get:
     
    "*Flare grunts*" or "*Flare trots over there*"
     
    As a novelist, screen-play writer, and educated dragon, I detest these responses. I feel like you should put more effort into an rp. Especially if its with someone you said you liked a lot. I understand most people can not pull together enough brain power to conjure up a proper response, but at least try to.
     
    An RP is better if you can actually imagine it happening, or if its so well written that you can feel what the oc's feel. This might sound like investing a lot of time into something that you feel shouldnt matter, but you have to ask yourself: Do I want to be good, or be known as the member/user who does not comprehend grammar?
     
    If you're gonna role-play, the least you can do is fine tune your responses. Add more words, describe how your oc is feeling or what they are doing in depth.
     
    If we role-play on skype, and your response is:
    /me follows OR /me yelps
     
    Im gonna assume you are stupid, and lazy.
     
    K THANKS

    So for two days now I have been putting up with IT's presence. IT has been a plague on me ever since i was introduced to it. Who ever made it is quite literally the worst person in the world.
     
    IT is.........PINK NAIL POLISH! Yes, my dear readers, I put pink, glittery nail polish on my nails. The nail polish was put on me by..well..me when i got a little buzzed a few nights ago. I had just came from the bar and went to my truck with some friends.
     
    I went into the back seat of my truck and pulled out a mystery bag from Hot Topic. I dug through it and found two key guards, that don't fit any key, Vinyl Scratch shoelaces, and pink, glittery, nail polish. I decided to put the nail polish on because, it was pink and shiny.
     
    When I sobered up, I laughed at my own stupidity. It looked ridiculous and horribly put on. The next day, when my hangover kicked in, I frantically looked for nail polish remover. I poured the stuff onto my nails and rubbed vigorously. I kept this up for ten minutes.
     
    Ten minutes of hard rubbing and the nail polish was still there, yet the cotton pad that was soaked in nail polish remover was pink. I tried three more times, rubbing harder and harder with no luck. Today, I did the same thing. The nail polish is still there, although it is now starting to come off.
     
    So far, I spent two days in public with pink finger nails. Two days of people looking at me weird in the gym as i lifted weights. I think i might just paint my fingernails black to cover up the pink

    Ethnocentrism

    By Rainbow Dash,

    What it is and what it do? I am back to deliver some knowledge onto your domes...except this is all opinion.
     
    I recently had a surprise conversation with someone i forgot was on my contacts list. This person was a candidate for a podcast i am running. He messaged me complaining about Canada's winter and how he was cold. He then started to say how Americans could never deal with Canada's snowfall.
     
    Pretty soon the conversation shifted over to America. Now, I love America as much as the next guy but I also love to give it grief because, this nation is flawed. I mean, what nation isn't? I could go on a rant about politics and how we can improve, but I really don't have the interest to....right now.
     
    As the conversation went along I decided to act out the stereotypical American while the skype user continued to put in his two cents worth of opinions. I told him that i wanted to move, but didnt want to go to Canada thinking it was too cold. Heres what he had to say:
     
    that, i did not know. My friend in Canada has been saying its always cold
    [4:08:48 PM] Jalokim [(Mikołaj Dudek) VA for Tartarus Productions]: he has been feeding you mis-information
    [4:09:10 PM] Jalokim [(Mikołaj Dudek) VA for Tartarus Productions]: most of the world doesnt know jack shit about Canada. All they know about it comes from you fucks
    [4:09:22 PM | Edited 4:09:30 PM] Jalokim [(Mikołaj Dudek) VA for Tartarus Productions]: which is actually REALLY inaccurate
    [4:10:21 PM] Jalokim [(Mikołaj Dudek) VA for Tartarus Productions]: actually for me, the summers here are too hot
    [4:10:30 PM] Jalokim [(Mikołaj Dudek) VA for Tartarus Productions]: which is why I love late spring
    [4:11:06 PM] Дакота Helheim(пожар): i can sense you dont like americans that much
    [4:11:11 PM] Jalokim [(Mikołaj Dudek) VA for Tartarus Productions]: not at all
     
    Afterwards, I called him out for being Ethnocentric, which is another way of saying he thinks his country is superior. He back tracked and tried playing it off as hating our government.
     
    When I tried pointing out to him that insulting people and their countries isnt a way to make friends he simply went emo on me and said he doesnt care, and that he would rather die alone.
     
    I would quote the rest of what he said , but I quickly blocked him and un-added him as a contact.
     
    The point I am trying to make here is, dont be Ethnocentric. Just because you dont like a country or culture, it doesnt give you the right to insult a person who comes from said country or culture

    Hate you At&t

    By Rainbow Dash,

    So as of yesterday i have been without internet. I am at a friends house stealing his internet just to catch up on things. Mainly Homework and actual work. the only diamond in this big pile of bull**** is that i can post on the forums. At&t claims that they are working on the problem and its to be fixed before the end of the day but i have had so many problems with them before that i do not trust a single word they say.
  21. Rainbow Dash
    Bold title, but in my eyes its the truth. Why? Well let me ask you something: What is Hasbro's main focus?
    Did you guess focusing on the show and its characters? Well you're wrong. The correct answer is, selling toys.
     
    I am sure there are those who say this coming as soon when Twilight's brother and foal sitter was introduced into the show. I went to Toys 'r' Us to search for some pony merch that wasn't at Hot Topic or Target. When I walked into the aisle I noticed a baby Pinkie Pie and Baby Spike. Thought to myself, "that's cute, but i will not buy it."
     
    My friend walked in the aisle behind me and noticed something odd.
    "Hey, who is Skyla?" He asked me.
    I went over to check it out and to my horror i saw it: A BABY ALICORN. Now at first i thought was, "Oh its just a lame toy by Hasbro." So i kinda put the thought in the back of my head. A few seconds later, my other friend started talking about this prediction video on Youtube talking about the baby alicorn. He said that it would be Cadence's and Shining Armor's baby.
     
    I always thought that the Lore of FiM was that being an alicorn was something the ponies worked for, not given out willy nilly. Twilight worked to become an alicorn but, having a foal be an alicorn right from the start of their lifespan? This does not make sense to me.
     
    Some of you might be saying, "I'll get used to it like i did with Twilicorn." Others might be up in arms about this new Princess. So how will just this be the end of FiM? There was talk of making the Mane 6 alicorns as well. This means Twilight will not be the special one anymore. Moreover, it would not make sense within the show.
     
    If that didnt make you lose all hope in the upcoming season then let me tell you that they might be producing an Equestria Girls T.V. show. I can only predict what horror that will bring. With them focusing on the other T.V. show, FiM might be canned...as in cancelled and forgotten about.
     
     
    Please, anyone, tell me that im wrong....tell me that the show will not turn out like this.

    This week was the week where I, as well as many of you, went back to school for the semester or year. Now unlike the rest of the semesters where i dreaded the first day where the instructor would read over the syllabus for the entire two hour class, I looked forward to it. I had a good summer, had a positive meet-up with fellow bronies and made some memories that will stay with me forever.
     
    Getting back to my complaint, I sat through the lectures (falling asleep through one) and soaked up the knowledge the instructors spat out. Everything was going great until they told the class of required textbooks. Now, i know i had to get these textbooks beforehand. Its an inevitability in college. What ticks me off is the price tag.
     
    When we were all in elementary school and when the teacher gave out the texts she sent us home with papers saying, If we damaged the books or defaced them we would have to pay a $50 dollar fee( although, for some of you it may be more or less.).
     
    Now that I am a college guy, i have spend an average of $60 per book. The most expensive book i bought was a communications book which was about $98. Now that doesn't sound so bad, right? Well let me ask you: how much did you spend on that last Harry Potter Book? Yeah thats what i thought.
     
    The book is about 200 pages compared to Harry Potter's 1000 pages. Whats more is I'm only going to use this textbook for 3 months. I could just sell the book back at half the price but theres still that other half that the school gets.
     
    Thus bringing me to my issue. The colleges(community) charge you an obscene amount of money for things you could easily research on your own. I know some people's brains don't work that way, but for a majority they do.
     
    School systems dont cater to everyone. Only to a general population. They rarely have programs or teachers that cater to those creative thinkers. To those critical thinkers that like to break everything down.
     
    Also, i have found that colleges only cater to those with money. If you have the money they will bend over backwards for you. If you are middle class or struggling they could care less about you. All of my friends agree, you got money but not the will to learn or achieve goals you'll do fine in College.
    You got the will and the goals but no money, you will struggle.
     
    Just the other day my fellow Twilight Sparkles brony told me that he shares a dorm with spoiled rich kids who do nothing but binge drink and smoke marijuana. All illegally. He's middle class and even though its the second week for him, hes already suffering from their actions as well as financially.
     
    In short, the system only caters to the rich and leaves the poor behind, even though the poor could be future doctors or physicists.

    Xbox Themes

    By Rainbow Dash,

    I was on Xbox live with nothing to do since all my friends went to bed. I looked at my online friends and saw a brony friend had a Rainbow Dash hoodie for his avatar. I thought to myself, "Hey, i should get that too." So i proceeded to get it as well as the pet Rainbow Dash.
     
    By the way this angered me a little. Pet Rainbow Dash? I wouldn't want Rainbow Dash as a pet. I would want her as a friend or Marefriend or even wife. In my opinion, the only time her name and 'pet' should be in the same sentence would be if i said, "Hey, I got Rainbow Dash a pet turtle."
     
    Anyways back to the thing that angered me the most.
     
    After i got those avatar items I decided to change up my theme from Mafia II to My Little Pony. I spent a good ten minutes trying to figure out where to shop for more themes. Yes i know im special. Anyways, when i finally found the right tab or page or whatever you want to call it i spent another ten or fifteen minutes scrolling through 1000 themes.
     
    I decided to be somewhat smart and sort them alphabetically. After i did that I scrolled to where the 'M' themes would be. NO MY LITTLE PONY THEMES.
    What i did find was themes for baseball teams and...MCDONALDS AND THEIR VARIOUS FOODS!
     
    First of all, why?
    What kind of person has that much of a love(was going to say something else) for food made entirely of sugar water?!
    NO ONE THATS WHO!
     
    I doubt theres a guy who buys this unless its for the lolz or because hes really high.
    Like one day a dude sees this and he's like, "Dude they have an egg mcmuffin theme! I love this sandwich so much, i will get this! Now i will be reminded of my weird obsession for a sandwich that isn't even good!"
     
    My Little Pony is popular enough to have a premium theme so what's the holdup?!
     
    If Mcdonalds can peddle their crappy food through premium themes then something like MLP FiM can have their own Premium Theme.

    I like how non-drinkers are so inclined to tell you to stop drinking its bad for your health, or that its weird how you have to find comfort in a bottle.
    Unless you have been drunk then you have no place to tell drinkers what they should and should not do.
    As long as they aren't hurting anyone why should it matter to you? Dont even give me that I care about you nonsense. If you cared you wouldnt bug the person about drinking in the first place.
     
    I care about your health~
    Why? Why should you care? What are you getting by caring about the health of someone else?

    Now we all know when watching television, commercials are an inevitability (unless you have a DVR or watch one of those no commercials network like TCM). Some commercials are there to serve a purpose, such as trying to get people interested in a product, or warning people about certain behaviors (like smoking, drinking, A.D.D or bullying.).
     
    The commercials the make me irate are those idiotic commercials selling something we, as humans, don't need. Let's take the 'GoGo Pillow' for example. Its basically an unneeded tablet stand when using your lap is too hard. Now granted there are some instances where this would be helpful and the supposed neck pillow it transforms into is a nice feature if you travel alot.
     

     
    I ask, does the marketing division of these companies think we are monkeys? Sure it 'molds to any surface' but i don't slam my fingers on the tablet going:
    "ner its so herd to use my tablet! I cant type on it normally. Instead i have to practically punch it to work on it."
    I mean come on! Consumers are not that dumb. I use my tablet with normal accessories and still get a good view of what's going on on the screen.
     
    It's not Just that product either. There are many commercials that assume that the user is so stupid that they don't know how to use critical thinking or problem solving to fix a simple problem.
     
    "Burnt your dinner? then you need the-" shut up! If you burnt your dinner its your own fault. This problem can be fixed by actually paying attention to what you're doing.
     
    "forgot where you parked your car? The you need this all new voice recorder." No you don't. If you forgot where you parked then odds are you shouldn't drive cause you're either drunk or high.
     
    All I'm asking is to stop making us look like idiots. We aren't idiots, we have brains, we can solve problems.
