aight i'm gonna get a little political, move on if you don't like it. but i need to go on about how much i hate people.
ok now anyone that doesn't want to deal with it has left. cool.
let's talk about republicans.
you might have conservative views. fine. i don't really care. however, there are things that you (as a whole) are wrong about.
taxes aren't bad. paying for healthcare through taxes isn't bad. there are people that fucking die because you'd rather have a system where you have to pay thousands for a hospital instead of having it all paid through taxes. and if you'd be stricter on the rich, maybe we wouldn't have to pay so much of it? instead of cutting the taxes of the rich, which does nothing for them but keep them richer, keep it the same rate for everyone or even increase it for the rich. of course, republicans value the rich too much to let that happen.
other countries pay a lot less per person for healthcare, and do it through taxes. but the united states would rather let the "free market" take care of it. guess what that means? they can set the prices as high as they want and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. i'm not a communist, but holy shit we need some form of regulation on this.
"but the waiting times!" go to a private doctor then, you can still have the option to pay to get treatment now. if you can't afford that though? you have the option that won't cost you everything and more.
alright now let's talk about one that has permanent effects on the entire planet, forever. climate change. yes, it's real. no, god isn't going to save you. sorry, i don't mean to bring religion into it too, but come on. according to the bible, god already flooded the planet to kill us, he doesn't care. you fucked up his creation, he's not going to say "oh it's okay, i still love you, welcome to heaven." even if you believe in god there's no way you can honestly believe that he would be cool with this.
but instead people would rather talk about how much it costs, or how ugly or loud wind turbines are. oh fucking well? it's better than killing the planet. or they'll talk about how it'll kill jobs. yeah, that sucks for the people that would lose their jobs. but in the end, it's worth it. lost jobs now for the betterment of the entire fucking planet and everyone and everything on it. besides, the renewable energy industry could use more employees.
i think the issue is that republicans tend to think about right now, rather than the future. they tend to think about how they can get more money now, even if it means it'll cost them everything later. they think about the lost jobs or costs of saving the planet now instead of how it'll improve the lives of everyone for millennia.
it isn't hard to think about how much the corrupt your politicians are.
and i obviously don't mean to say that democrats are perfect. nobody is. and you'll never fully agree with anyone because everyone has different opinions. but man, unless you're old, rich, and selfish, i don't get how you can disagree with the things i said.
feel free to discuss, i'm not gonna stop you. freedom of speech, my dudes.
-
Pretty much everything you said I agree with. I don't consider myself a democrat, but I definitely consider myself anti-Republican and what you stated is part of why. The amount of selfishness and a strong sense of national superiority in the Republican party drives me mad. Trump and his posse being so against renewable energies shows the selfishness in full among many, many other things.

it's a day late but i figured i'd share with you my favorite thanksgiving parade thing
trust me you should watch it
-
alright cool, ate my 3 bites of cold turkey, thanksgiving's over.
i'll eat the leftover pizza in the fridge later.
-
hey it's the day where i don't eat much because i honestly don't really like thanksgiving food
-
ok no what the fuck
someone just stood outside my window, shined a light in, and walked away
this is why i don't open my fucking curtains

Come on, Jeric, stop messing with stuff! You removed the ability to see who gave you an award! This was super nice when awards are given by other users. Can't imagine why you'd want to get rid of it.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 20th anniversary event.

idea for movies: optional deleted scene inclusion. it doesn't feel right needing to go through some bonus features menu to see them. just include them in the movie, if the viewer wants.
-
Interesting idea, though the transitions into those deleted scenes would be kind of awkward and some deleted scenes are removed because the movie took an entirely different direction. For example, there is actually a deleted version of the beginning of Toy Story where Woody was actually becoming to be the villain of the movie, but they changed the movie completely because they thought it would be a bit too messed up, considering that he actually tries to kill Buzz in that version and uses Slinky as a slave.
Still an interesting idea though.
-
i'm talking about ones that were just taken out because they weren't seen as necessary. ones that were taken out because they changed the story obviously can't be put into the current one.
also, i wasn't really thinking about animated movies when i said this. a lot of deleted scenes from animated movies are unfinished.

what're the rupees for? got the orange as soon as i logged in
edit: guess i got the blue one too now

I believe that G5 should have more male characters, yes. The main characters are all female in G4. That isn't really a problem, but it would be better if there was a male character or two in the main group. -
i feel like google is actually terrible at targeting ads. no, i can't afford that super expensive car, or first class flights, or a new camera, and i have no need for condoms. why don't you advertise something more relevant, like games or something? i get very few of those ads, despite 80% of my youtube being game related.

happy international mens day btw
'cause no one else is saying it

used a different wire for my xbox controller. it works when tilted to either side, but putting it straight doesn't work. of course now the slightest movement makes it disconnect again.
not sure if my controller is actually breaking the wires or something. that's 3 now that have broken in this controller.

@Usager It needs to stay in one of two very exact positions now, and a rubber band would get in the way.
@CypherHoof Too enthusiastic? I barely move at all lol. And it was wireless, but it doesn't accept the rechargeable battery anymore (battery probably just doesn't hold a charge anymore) and it has issues with a wireless connection (as my Xbox seems to have in general, it doesn't connect to WiFi either). Using headphones, as I always am, is a terrible experience and watching YouTube (my TV is my only 1080p screen and my laptop can barely handle 720p60) feels like a waste of battery.

I'm even more concerned about G5's diversity issue, here's why
Clod replied to Plonkett's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Diversity in a show needs to be a thing, but you should let it speak for itself. Have diverse characters, but don't mention it every chance you get. If they pull that off, cool. Because the message you should be spreading is that it just shouldn't matter. People are people. And for staff, it should just be the most capable people. If that means there ends up being a majority of one kind of person in there, oh well. Don't care what color their skin is or what they have in their pants. Can they do the job? That's the most important thing. Don't choose not to hire one person because it isn't split evenly. You have 50 of x, 49 of y. You need to hire one more to make 100. You have two people you're considering to hire. One's an x, one's a y. The x is much better at the job. The x gets hired, because the x can do the job better than the y. It's now 51/49, but oh well, it doesn't matter. The issue I'm seeing is that they made sure they're 50/50, and even 100% female for the writers. I mean, they can hire whoever they want, but they shouldn't be turning anyone down because they want more men or women. And the writers being 100% female seems pretty discriminatory against males. Why can't men write for the show? I doubt G5 will go the same way. The example shown is very... super hard left, for lack of a better term. Like instead of trying to be accepting of everyone, they became very strict about who could be hired, which isn't really how you become accepting and open. Looks like they tried to be very equal by making it 50/50 instead of being equal opportunity, which means anyone gets a chance. And this studio, with this type of mindset, is going to create a show that reflects that. It's definitely very "look how diverse we are!" rather than being chill and accepting. Of course, I haven't seen the actual show used for the example so I can't say if it's as bad as I expect. But G5 is a show about ponies, not people. It's yet to be created, so we can't say how it'll be. Their mission may be to show acceptance as a friendship lesson type thing, since it's a show about lessons for kids. And honestly, if there's some episodes about accepting people for their differences, as they should learn irl, that'll be pretty cool. That should just not be the main focus, because that'll get old easily. Gotta change things up a bit. Real world issues like LGBT and racism, though some might argue they "don't belong in a kids' show", would be totally appropriate. People will say they don't belong, but they're scared of kids learning these lessons of acceptance. If they can teach kids to accept one another, rather than just going "haha we're diverse!", then that's awesome. TL;DR: Be diverse, but don't make that the only thing the show is about. Diversity's cool. It's needed. Don't be annoying about how diverse you are. Just let it speak for itself. -
That's such an empty threat lol "Someone wrote about wanting more Spike. Well ha, it didn't happen!" We know it's a show about ponies, but Spike is a character too. That's like saying "It's not a show about draconequui, it's about ponies! No more Discord episodes!" And Spike is a pretty major character, being Twilight's adopted son and assistant. Nobody is shoving Spike in anyone's faces. People are discussing Spike because they like Spike. If you don't want to read about Spike, don't read about Spike. It's not hard. This is a place for discussion of the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and all characters in it. You don't get to decide which characters people are allowed to talk about. As much as the writers want him to get? And I'm sure there's a character you like more than most. People have preferences, stop shitting on them for it. ...Okay? Why? Just because people are talking about him? Point is, you don't decide what people talk about here. You don't decide how many episodes Spike gets. None of us do. We're all free to talk about whatever, and the writers are free to write about whoever. That's how this works. Do I understand the amount of love for Rainbow Dash? Not really. She's cool I guess but nowhere near my favorite. But I'm not gonna start complaining because others like her, and others want more episodes for her, or the writers make more episodes for her.
