  1. I think people who find life meaningless often live in constant strife and just have nothing to continue onward for. When you look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, people today are expected to survive and forced to work while having 20% of their needs met to achieve self-actualization. People are lonelier more than ever and have little time to remedy that because many of them are also struggling to make ends meet, so I definitely see where the nihilism comes from.

    Yeah. No wonder we avoid the term brony over 4chan and use horsef***er instead. The fandom was better back in the day.

    I can't remember much of what the fandom was like in 2012, I know I made a good friend who was pretty much my guide during that time, boy do I miss her.

    Anyway, just don't single anybody out, make assumptions about people, nor advocate violence against them for who they are, then you're welcome to dislike any group for what you went through. I myself was never able to successfully fit in with furries and bronies, even if I was a hugely into both communities. The circumstances surrounding it were pretty awful tbh

    Not gonna lie, I am surprised you made it this far with a negative opinion of furries without getting dogpiled lol

    I totally get you. I guess "species disphorya" should be an actual psychiatric condition :mlp_icwudt:

    I myself grew bitter on furries because they were witch hunting bronies and I was target of such activities back in 2011-2014. The saddest part was that my very own friends from such a fandom started the harassment against me.

    So, personally, I don't have too much trust on that fandom.

    I'm actually wondering why 2 out of 3 poll options are pro-furry and there's none of disliking, instead just one of awkwardness.

    Hey, that's fair and I empathize with you. I too know what it's like to have friends who mistreat you over such trivial nonsense and constantly pull double standards when it came to piss-poor behavior. 

    Quite frankly, I do not like furries, I will never like furries, I don't even like other bronies. I don't care how many people give me the cold shoulder, throw whataboutisms at me, cry about "very vocal minorities" (an overused overly stupid surmise), and call me some sabre rattler. It changes nothing. Am I generalizing? Probably. Do I care? Does it matter? No and no. You are allowed to hold a conclusion based on your personal experiences and I always judged someone's character on an individual basis anyway.

    My disdain towards both communities were not about what they are into but the kinds of insufferable personalities they tend to attract.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  4. Yeah, someone who hurt me very badly was a huge fan of Tool, so when I think of Tool or hear any of their songs, it reminds me of him and I just immensely dislike the band as a result.

    It's not as bad as it once was, I healed enough to move beyond the 'guilty by association' thing. I never unfairly judged their quality of music nor assumed their band members' standards or something, I get it, the last thing a musician wants to be is a painful reminder to somebody.

  5. Yes, I do find myself stumbling across old posts of mine while seriously considering abandoning my account to make another one. Which I would, but it's a responsibility I will accept.

    2014 to the first chunk of 2016 was a very confusing time for me, to say the least.

  6. I began using Windows 10 Pro for 64 bit systems since June earlier this year.

    Took me a looooong time to make that change from Windows 7 to 10, but that ending support for Windows 7 gave me absolutely no choice. I am really not a fan of the ridiculous overhead in Windows systems.

  7. I was a little kid during those years, but I really do appreciate my elementary school years from 2001-2007, that school has been demolished now, but I will never forget all the fun times I had around the Thanksgiving and Christmas months with all the students and our families crammed in the cafeteria for a big feast.

    Geez, I remember when Windows XP was brand new and all the rage.

  8. AM broadcasting is obsolete and is largely phased out since FM radio finished it off in the 90s, it's why you will rarely ever hear anything on the AM spectrum except noise. The fact of the matter is, the sound quality is poor and the signal was so vulnerable to interference, it was barely audible in big cities.

    I live right beside an AM station in my town (like 4 blocks), it plays everything from the 60s to the 90s, from The Hollies to the Blues Traveler (even some really rare gems from ELO), it was my station of choice and I never wanted to return to FM. However, no matter how good I tune in to it, there will always be that whine or whistle and if I manage to snuff it out, I sacrifice the "stereo" sound for something that sounds like a TV from the 80s.

    But yeah, I loved AM radio, before I moved to the suburbs right beside the aforementioned AM station, I was in the mountains far from civilization and I was utterly fascinated by the strange signals I picked up with my old Magnavox radio. I heard mostly really old gospel songs and folk music that sounds like it pre-dates the 50s, and I even picked up a steady beeping noise.
