  1. More 90s songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK5CLplRIno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Miec205fvnE Oh yeah, robot wars. I remember there being a few of those 'robots fighting each other' shows at the time. I guess the concept didn't last and the genre died out.
  2. Ghostbusters anyone? Also, have some Bon Jovi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhw
  3. You know whats crazy? Us 90s kids were the last pre-internet generation. Yeah sure, the internet did exist, but it wasn't something most people had, let alone kids. My nephew came up to me the other day with a ipad (or whatever it was) to show me a YouTube video about minecraft, that just took me aback "what are you doing on the internet?!". Anyways, for those of us who weren't there or too little to notice, while the 90s were the decade of 'whatever' for teenagers and young adults, for kids the 90s were totally radical! Or rather thats what commercials wanted to be at least, like that skateboarding chuck-e-cheese rat.
  4. Maybe wear sunglasses or just look away from the screen and listen to the music during that scene? I know it doesn't fix the problem, but at least its a work-around for that particular instance. I don't think it could give seizures... but headaches are not fun either.
  5. I like to think magic is very tiring. So Unicorns are still limited like the others even if they can magically fly and stuff. Overall, the 3 are about the same level as each other, individuals may vary. Edit- fixed the sentence.
  6. That feeling when you just started courses for another year at college, where you still don't know what you want to do with your life, if college can even do that now instead of just debts, and even if I can even do it because the work seems so hard. That feeling where you think you might be working minimum wage jobs for life.
  7. The ones that tell a comedy story or a slice of life story I tend to like a lot better than the action ones, I find. My personal favorites are the 2 comics about Shining Armor and Cadance as teenagers, the Rarity and Applejack comics where they travel Equestria, the Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon 'friends forever' issue, and the Sombra 'Fiendship is Magic' issue.
  8. I like looking at old styles of things, like you can often tell a videos era by its audio and video quality. I find it neat, you can feel the era. Commercials included. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xA2WaVIhto That's a really good song. I liked that.
  9. I don't think you have to worry, its going to be a major release, and not like what they did with Equestria Girls. They did Equestria girls like they do anime movies, a day or two in theateres in only a select few locations. The MLP movie will be in a lot more theaters for a longer period of time.
  10. From what I have gathered, when a US cartoon gets a 'the movie' it tends to be the end of the show, either as the swan song that closes the franchise, or the descent into seasonal rot. Hasbro may be putting the movie last as a swon song to get some more money out ofg the current gen before closing shop on G4 for good in order to create the next gen.
  11. Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks had small releases in theaters, but the MLP movie will be a full blown release hopefully. http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-things-respectable-person-never-does-alone/ Are we going to get dirty looks from moms?
  12. I'm looking forward to a new series with new characters. I think six seasons and a movie is plenty of G4.
  13. Maybe not exactly with the movie, It should wrap up around then. For example, if the movie is in the middle of a season, the show should end with that season. I'm ready to move on to new characters. (And maybe an Equestria Girls show, we need more Sugarcoat).
  14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3u4EFTwprM On your first paragraph, yeah. When people say communists, they generally think of some form of Marxism. But Marx didn't even invent the term communism, that would be some french guy a while before Marx. Marx came up with the theory that the world would transition to communism, so when discussing communism you kinda have to explain what you mean by communism. Liviing communally, or the marxist parties/communist states (Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism? ) that want to transition to Marxs communist utopia, or non-marxist communism, or anarcho-communism, and the list goes on. There are still some hippy communes that survived, they survived because they, unlike the others, set rules that had to be followed. Ie, everyone has to work, etc.
  15. Communism is such a hard thing to really describe, because it’s a word that can have different meanings and interpretations depending on theory and context. Living communally is what communism is, so in essence any communal style of society is communist. Hippy communes, Christian communism, anarchist communism, certain types of tribes, etc. In those contexts, communism = communalism. What marx theorized was that the world would transition to a state of communism, a stateless society. So no communist regime ever created communism, just states with the stated goal of one day transitioning to communism. Stalin and mao were more or less really fascists, basically, but after them the states kinda became Bureaucracies, but North korea now instead doesn't even pretend to be communist anymore (it removed references to communism from itself), and is simply a fascist monarchy that pretends to be a Republic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche Marx theorized that capitalism would lead to communism. many communists insist that democracy is integral to communism. Lenin however, because Russia wasn't very industrialized, skipped the capitalism part and just established a dictatorship with a central party. Anarcho-communists just want to skip straight to the communism (libertarian-socialism) part and all attempts at this "anarchism" (arguably minarchism rather) have failed because of fascists or Stalinists destroying them, like Anarchist Spain, Anarchist Ukraine/Russia, and anarchist Korea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_uprisings_against_the_Bolsheviks#Anarchist_divisions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Territory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_Korea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_Spain Rojava (The Kurds in Syria) is the closet thing right now to anarcho-communism, and its fighting ISIS and Turkey at the moment for survival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_communism So is equal town communist? Maybe, depends on how you look at it.
  16. Its probably a really deep part of the dark web where actual hitmen can be found. I wouldn't be surprised that in the lower levels its actually all cops pretending to be hitmen. But I don't really know, that's just a guess.
  17. @@Twilight Dirac, There is a problem with desalinization plants in that the brine released doesn't disperse fast enough so areas around the plants get saltier, so they have to mix it with more water before it reaches the ocean to prevent that. And the plants cause pollution too. The drought in California isn't as serious as the drought in Iran or Brazil or large parts of Africa, but it does show that California isn't capable of handling all the food production of being a bread basket in a desert, with an ever increasing population to feed. And that's the trap, raise California water prices then jobs are lost and farms fold and agriculture shifts to other parts of the country, but keep things the same as they are then they would need more and more water to keep up. But like in Australia, people are hesitant to build desalinization plants because if it rains and the reservoirs refill it would make them seem like huge wastes of money. But once the underground water in the Midwest runs dry then agriculture there will die and, yep, California would have to step up food production even more.
