Ahh, cursive writing. We learned it in 3rd grade, and I've only used it since to sign off on important things like checks and contracts. It's beautiful, but impractical as not many people can read it. I can, but the newer generation of kids will not be taught how to read or write cursive (my sister still wouldn't know had I not taught her myself).

movies/tv Strong, non stereotypical female characters
Shady Bubbles replied to SolidTwilight's topic in Media Discussion
My vote goes to Karst from Golden Sun Even though she fits the typical "little girl with a big guy" role, she's the finest warrior Prox has to offer, and her attacks are far more devastating than Agatio's. Plus, her battle music is -
movies/tv Top Ten shows that just piss me off.
Shady Bubbles replied to GenderIsAnIllusion's topic in Media Discussion
I completely agree with this list, with the exception of Loiter Squad. I'm a little biased when it comes to that show though, being an Odd Future fan I think Mike GSI would make a much better show on its own -

general media Who is your favorite villain?
Shady Bubbles replied to Adachi's topic in Media Discussion
Pokey Minch from Earthbound. That snobby little bastard gets under my skin so much. Earthbound did a good job of making you truly despise the antagonist. The way he taunts you during the final battle is cruel and heartless. He knows you are facing the embodiment of evil in an alternate dimension (and if you follow the whole Giygas-fetus theory, aborting a demon alien baby) and has the balls to mock you for being fearful. He knows the fate of the world is in your hands, and still he does everything in his power to stop you. He knows he can't control Giygas when he turns off the Devil Machine, but does so anyways just to spite you. By the end of the game I loathed Pokey, which makes him a truly good villain. Pokey Minch, -

What Video Game levels/bosses make you rage?
Shady Bubbles replied to Moon Rat's topic in Media Discussion
Another good one I should bring up that I completely forgot until replaying the game earlier. Freaking Witney from Pokemon Gold. Especially if you chose Cyndaquil (thankfully I went with Chikorita this time, but I still can't beat her) Miltank used Rollout... -
gaming Post Your Random Video Game Trivia Here! *SPOILERS*
Shady Bubbles replied to Shenron00's topic in Media Discussion
If you hack into the game data in the Golden Sun: The Lost Age, you will discover the game contains unused sprites of Link from The Legend of Zelda. If you go into the trophy room in Super Smash Bros Melee and look at the Princess Daisy trophy, then use the camera to zoom in on the very back of her head, you will discover that her trophy has 3 eyes. In Pokemon Yellow, you can play a surfing minigame if you trade a Pikachu that knows Surf over from Stadium. For us poor kids, you can get the same effect by using the glitch Pokemon Q to fuse Pikachu and any Pokemon that knows Surf. When asked about losing the Crash Bandicoot franchise to Sierra and Universal Studios, co-president of Naughty Dog Evan Wells said "It's a little bit like watching your daughter become a porn star" These are the only ones I know off the top of my head -
Finally got around to watching Pokemon Heroes. It was a fantastic film. 8/10 for me

Skydoesminecraft. Not really Sky himself (although I do find his voice incredibly annoying) but his fanbase. They're just so....ugh. And "Sky Army"? What is this shit? That being said, I LOVE MinecraftUniverse. He's much less obnoxious, and really deserves his views. He seems so out of place with Sky and the rest of their crew. But Sky is the only one I honestly don't like.

technology Replacing pavement with solar panels: a good idea?
Shady Bubbles replied to Shady Bubbles's topic in Media Discussion
Is it really? I didn't think to look Hopefully the mods take notice and merge them. I'd like to see as many opinions as I can. -
technology Replacing pavement with solar panels: a good idea?
Shady Bubbles replied to Shady Bubbles's topic in Media Discussion
They wouldn't generate capital? Are you kidding? We would generate enough electricity to power the country 3 times over. You don't think all that juice is going to go to waste do you? We could easily sell it to other countries to get a little extra money (and hopefully pull us out of this debt...) As for your other concerns, you have to keep in mind that you wouldn't be driving DIRECTLY on the panels. They are coated in a unique glass-like material that has already been tested to meet the impact and traction requirements needed for you to drive on it. You do have a point as far as maintenance goes, but we already shovel out tax dollars to maintain our current roads, so it wouldn't be too much of an issue. We already have the technology to make this a reality. We just need the initiative. Exactly. It wouldn't be a feasible idea to replace all of our roads at once. It would have to be a gradual change, much like the proposal of electric cars, or the introduction of those curly light bulbs. I'm sure not everyone would be on board, but if it means we reduce our environmental footprint and get to make money doing it, then the neigh-sayers are sure to change their minds. -

technology Replacing pavement with solar panels: a good idea?
Shady Bubbles replied to Shady Bubbles's topic in Media Discussion
That pretty much sums it up. Our economy sucks right now. Think of how many jobs could be created for installation and maintenance of these roads. And they can't be nearly as harmful for your vehicle as potholes and damaged concrete. Plus, asphault can't warn you if there's an animal in the road I'm in the same position. It seems like such a good idea to me. Save the environment, save the economy, save animals from becoming roadkill.... But all of those are long term benefits. And our past pretty clearly reflects that we don't think long-term when making big decisions. It's like our government is in a JG Wentworth commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX0fIi3H-es What else don't reflectors do? Hmmmm.... Generate capital, power our cities, warn us of road hazards... -
technology Replacing pavement with solar panels: a good idea?
Shady Bubbles replied to Shady Bubbles's topic in Media Discussion
They are covered in a special glass material that meets the same impact and traction requirements our current roads do. They also produce more than enough electricity to sustain the rest of our electronics, so I would imagine that they are self-sustaining. In other words, as crazy as it might sound, they can stand the weight and they will pay for themselves. Plus it would be like Tron if it was real It would definitely take a long time to get them up and running. I don't see it happening anytime soon. I most likely won't live to see solar roadways become a reality. But a girl can dream right? -
technology Replacing pavement with solar panels: a good idea?
Shady Bubbles replied to Shady Bubbles's topic in Media Discussion
The number is an estimate from the the FHA. And yes, the technology is available. Two prototypes were invented in 2006. That was 8 years ago. The technology has probably been improved upon since then. And the energy conversion shouldn't be a problem. It's not like we're running out of sunlight any time soon. I do wish you could watch the video though. He does a much better job explaining this than I can. Exactly! I didn't even think about powering electric cars, but that's another benefit to them. No more paying 4$ a gallon at the pump. The road could fuel your vehicle! It's like a solution to half of America's problems in one go. The only drawback I could see would be dealing with getting to work, etc while the roads are being converted. But there's always detours -
technology Replacing pavement with solar panels: a good idea?
Shady Bubbles replied to Shady Bubbles's topic in Media Discussion
Well, it's like he explained in the video. The removal of power lines and telephone poles helps keep our roads safe from falling livewires. The fact that our roads would be solar panels generates electricity. Imagine if your driveway was made of solar panels. It sits in the sun all day while you're at work. Think of how much stuff it could power by the time you get home. The building and installation process could provide thousands of jobs across the states. The LED lights could warn you of upcoming roadway hazards. The panels are also heated to prevent them from being covered in ice and snow, so tax money wouldn't need to be spent on clearing the roads. If we replaced all of our paved roads with solar panels, we could generate 3x as much energy as the USA currently uses. No more nuclear power, no more power outages, no more wasted tax money on fixing cracked asphault, etc. They're good for the environment AND the economy. And plus... They're SOLAR FREAKIN ROADWAYS! (I had to do it) The fact that they look cool is only an added bonus. Don't let it fool you. These things will pay for themselves. And they have far too many benefits to be ignored. Watch the video. It will change your mind and explain everything. If it was just an idea to make our roads prettier, then I wouldn't support it. But there's just so many avantages that I don't see any reason why we SHOULDN'T have these things. -

Three words. Solar FREAKIN Roadways The basic idea is that we replace all of our useless pavement with solar panels that have built-in LED lights. Personally I think it's a fantastic idea, and the video makes some excellent points about the advantages of Solar FREAKIN Roadways So tell me your thoughts. Should we be funding this? Why or why not? -
Opinion on paraspriting threads (Poll)
Shady Bubbles replied to ZukoIsBestPony's topic in Sugarcube Corner
That's a good point. You can never really know how your post might affect the person on the recieving end. brb killing myself you hurt my feelings But in all seriousness, it's not something that should be taken seriously. Sticks and stones and all that. I often find myself messaging people online who are victims of trolling to remind them that if they get mad or hurt that they are letting the troll win. They are (hopefully) smart enough to realize that the best way to deal with these things is to join in on the joke. I don't mean to ally oneself with the trolls, but instead to troll them back. Fight fire with fire. Of course that can be bad too... It's just hard to define it as good or bad. It's like everything else in life. There is no black or white, but rather many shades of gray. And no, I'm not talking about the porn book -
