BABSCON 2023 IS UP, UP, AND AWAY WITH THOM ZAHLER!

So this was created and was allowed to be here do to the lack of Debate Pit at the time. We have a debate section, however the general opinions in here may not exactly fit within the push to raise the bar of civil debate. With that in mind, I’m going to close this topic. 
 

I would suggest for those that have access to Debate Pit, that a new Trump topic be created, but if you do so be somewhat specific and less general because this is like thousands of little topics in one. It makes for a bad discussion point for savvy debates. 

I wonder if my ceiling fans are set to rotate in the correct direction? Hm. Do I know what the correct direction is? Is it summer clockwise? I mean it’s not summer but it’s Florida in March so that’s summer enough. I wonder what the change in temperature really is? Is it measurable? Man, I want the job of the person who decided that ceiling fan direction should be measured to find the optimal seasonal comfort.

The colors and lighting are perfect!

I see a Momaw Nadon Hammerhead

Oh wow. How a collection can grow. Those boxes multiplied. There are like 9 now and minus the non US released Yakface … I have the complete collection and am in the process of grading them. I’ll have to update it tomorrow with a tour or something .

That an actual Star Wars character?  

Yes. An Ithorian who was exiled after giving the Empire agricultural secrets, he became a rebellion sympathizer. 

@Splashee I increased the cap to 400 so that should work for now. Let me know if you can send a new request out

Every test I’ve done shows it’s working as expected on both active themes.  Uninstall any third party plugins that interact with the site, close the browser. Open the browser. Clear cache. Close the browser. Try again. 
 

Process to clearing cache can be different for each browser 

There is a cap set for 300 friends. You have 15 pages and it’s set to display 20 per page, so I assume you reached the cap. I’ve never tested increasing the default cap limit, but I’ll play with that later tonight. 

I’m excited, hyped, and feeling accomplished. Planning a pony con trip to SF where I am going to spend time with @Troblems and @Ashen Pathfinder. My grandkid is due in May and the pregnancy is doing great. I’m going on a cruise with the wife in June. And I’m helping with my kids wedding in August. I feel amazing and full of energy. 
 

Also I just received a Topps card from 1952 and it made me smile from ear to ear. So that was cool too. 

Castle Sweet Castle. It generally fell into the trap of being a decent episode in a well received season with many decent episodes that are remembered better. It’s the Mike Schmidt of Season 5. Worthy of praise and admiration, but overshadowed by better performances 

Flurry Heart didn’t even fully grasp object permanence in Flurry of Emotions. Also, yelling at an infant to a toddler actually reinforces bad behavior instead of corrects it. 

Anyway, I’m in the strongly neutral with the character. She had cute moments. She had moments that left no impact on me. She’s fine. Regarding the Alicorn question, I am thankful they didn’t fully explain it. The best fantasy worlds leave gaps in places to allow you to conjure your own explanations, and allows the viewer or reader to theorycraft interesting ideas. 
 

At the risk of starting something, Hogwarts Legacy. I’m still grinding for the platinum, but I finished it last week. 

I wrote a full 82,000 word manuscript about eleven years ago with many revisions just to actually say I could complete a novel. It was saved on one of 30 different drives I have. Unfortunately, after years of searching I still haven'd found it. 

Montana. The best State.

Also, Disney said they are not going to reprint The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck for similar reasons. So I bought the book for $125, and it is now $225. Savvy move

You are speaking my language.

Hardcover is less than $30 on Amazon and it’s still available for purchase on Comixology as Disney has not had it pulled. 

I actually have a graded copy of two of the issues from the 90’s. 

My practical and pragmatic response to this feels like the old riddle about a tree falling in the woods and whether it makes a sound or not. I generally have trained myself to ignore disclaimers before media, from the FBI warning, to epilepsy in gaming, to … I assume many because I don’t notice them anymore. Basically I don’t care if they are there or not there. I have more important items to occupy my thoughts than barely readable text on a screen. I am usually doing something else with my eyes and brain until the show/film properly starts. 
 

Art Contests are back! Visual Art contests will start every other month beginning March. In some months there may be a theme, and that may be a character, a general emotion, holiday, or prompt. For March the theme is

Relaxation. (Focus on a task, or activity, or anything that fits into this laid back chill theme). 

Requirements

The requirements are simple, it needs to center around a character or characters that fit within the established generations or media of My Little Pony. You can use any style or medium. You can use canon characters or original characters. All members of MLPF are eligible including staff as they are not involved in judging this contest. No AI Art will be accepted. 

Deadline

Submissions close 3/31/23. No extension on this as the next contest will open immediately after. Thread and submission form auto lock on April 1. 

Judging

Judging will be done without any awareness of who the artist is. No bias, cliques, friendships, or favoritism to get in the way. Hopefully the guest judges who are also fandom artists will be willing to show up for an AMA on the site, but no guarantees. 

Winners

If winner will be granted the Canterlot Artist Rank and Badge.  All entries will be eligible to receive an Art Achievement Bronze Badge. Future participation will count toward Silver and Gold Art Badges. 

Submit Here or you can use the top navigation menu to add a submission. 

Best of luck to all entries. 

I moved this to Feedback as it is working as intended (WAI).

This is a UX feature that has been ubiquitous in design since Bootstrap, and it's a class most have memorized that use it. 

But my only point of contention and the only reason I replied here is that Michael.J does not work for Invision, and Invision Community does not sell a way to bypass this design philosophy of theirs. It's a third party plug-in that hooks into the existing php to make some changes. You linked to a DevFuse modification. Invision has numerous issues with how they monetize the platform, but this is not one of those issues. DevFuse actually built of of our applications we have installed. Auto Welcome. 

FWIW, I could probably bypass this in Themes if this is done with a simple class like Bootstrap. 

Tech, collectibles, travel, investments, hobbies, family, charity, home improvement 

So as you can see we are still in business thanks to @LadyMercury and a surprise appearance by @Twilight Sparkle ✨. 

I noticed a few small issues here and there and will be working on a few of them after I sleep. Appreciate the patience all! Thanks.
