Roughshod

Some might possess happiness and others might not, I can't speak for anyone else's happiness. I just think that for the most part it's a a largely transient state of mind, not a permanent condition. I don't really think it should be anyway, life would be boring if my experience was limited to one emotion.

Well, then all that depends on how is yor definition for happiness.I thought that happiness can be defined more than a state of feelings. But then I am too lazy to explain and my english sucks so just saying.

A discussion like this would be more appropriate for a forum than a status. Maybe I'll look into that.

I'd like a second opinion on something---I've talked about this in a few other posts and statuses, but I'm wondering whether Zephyr's behavior really adds up: the episode intended for the root of his problem to be a lack of confidence, but the symptoms of that were: laziness, manipulation of others, and apathy. Can a lack of self-confidence really have those symptoms?

I believe low self-confidence can contribute to a person being apathetic and lazy but usually isn't the only factor. His reluctance to change as well as the effort he put into pressuring and deceiving others actually suggests some confidence on his part in getting what he wants in the end. He formed a behavioral pattern based on self-aggrandizement and self-sabotage while leaving others to pick him up when he inevitably fell. It's very indicative of a narcissistic personality.

I see what you mean.

Plus, I realized after I made these posts that, if someone is going to be lazy, then they also need to be manipulative, because if they don't manipulate someone else into doing it for them, then either (a) they need to get off their lazy gluteous maximus and do it themselves, or ( it won't get done. So...it's very plausible, disturbing though it is...!

Look up "The Majestic." Its actually a decent serious Carrey role.

I really liked "The Majestic", but that's a different kind of serious compared to Number 23

Ah, ok. I've never seen 23, so I'm kinda out of the loop then. XD

Sorry---I was half-agreeing with your point that politics is male-dominated. And when you put it like you just did ("effectively male-dominated"), I totally agree---the only point I disagree with is...is...

...Is a point you didn't really make, now that I think about it. Said point was that there are barriers to entry into politics for women, but that's not what you said at all. /embarrassed

As for Equestria being female-dominated---if what we've s...

I would say that there are still some barriers to entry into politics for women, as well as most minorities, but that these barriers are mostly cultural beliefs and subtle, often subconscious prejudices in society rather than institutionalized rules or policies. Most people still fundamentally believe that men(in the case of Western society straight white men usually Christian or Jewish) make stronger and more dependable leaders over other groups of people, even if they're reluctant to ad...

...admit it. The problem with prejudices like these is that they can't simply be repealed with a law or fixed by some change in policy. You can't realistically legislate on personal beliefs or opinions, at least not without approaching a state of repression and totalitarianism.

As for Equestria?

I'm just saying I'll take quality over speed any day

I'm with Spaced Out Woona on this; remember Sonic the Hedgehog 2006? Rushed for the 2006 holiday season, panned as one of the worst Sonic games of all time. Compare that to Super Mario Galaxy, which came out in 2007, wasn't rushed, and was lauded as one of the most revolutionary platformers of all time---yeah, quality over speed is a good rule.

Those examples carry no weight with me.

I'm not referring to any recent personal experience just a general outlook I possess. I agree that ignoring trolls and haters is typically best but even this requires resilience to some degree.

Is to hate one of the essenses of the human being?

I'm not sure, but I think it's more of a choice. Hatred is a very common aspect of the human experience though.

hehe

...He just told you to say the word "this"...?

No, he told me to say that^

Unless you hate everything in existence and have no sense of humor you should enjoy it. Funny, smart, well written and acted with a good overall message.

Haha well I most certainly am not like that. Should be very enjoyable then.

Glad to know they did a good job; with animated movies that have a lot of hype, you never know what the quality will be. At least this proves you can't judge a book by its cover!

They can do better with villain names, IMO. ...Then again, maybe "Starlight Glimmer" is a pseudonym?

Personally I'm waiting for the Smooze. That should be entertaining.

Oh, would that I could brohoof replies on status updates...!

Rule #25 on the list of things Hasbro won't let a brony do when making an MLP:FiM game:

25) Bringing back the Smooze from G-1 as a boss is okay. Defeating him by packing him into a magical steamer trunk is also okay. Having someone ask "What'cha gonna do with all that gunk? All that gunk inside your trunk?" is not okay.

Try posting from a 3ds.

Wow, I didn't know that was even feasible. You've got me beat. Or do you? lol

HAHA try using a PS Vita!

I made a joke in response to that which, in retrospect, I shouldn't have made at all, so I've erased it. The joke itself wasn't inherently offensive so much as its timing; it's never funny when people die.

So, would you say there was some fallout?

...Fallout from what? I wasn't yelled at for my joke or anything; I erased it probably 30 seconds after I posted it.

Love how he downs those TUMS afterwards...because I just had some TUMS myself!

Whoa. Man I was just making a Roman numerals joke, I didn't think you'd bring Tums into this.

Could be worse: could be forums full of hot-button issues you feel strongly about where people take offense no matter how gently or assertively you try to disagree!

Maybe there are some good fanvideos or interesting fan-projects to read up about? I know sometimes projects, like mine, have a lot of time between posts when any information is released...I mean, it's been weeks since I posted anything about my Weather Factory Meltdown game-project, but that doesn't mean I...

"could be forums full of hot-button issues you feel strongly about where people take offense no matter how gently or assertively you try to disagree"

Haha, I know that feeling.

Welcome back, man!

It's good to be back. Things have gotten kind of dull around here if you ask me. I want to see if I can liven things up a bit.

Anyway, what's up with you?

The pay was bad. 

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what I was implying with this but I'm still standing by it.

done with what?

Yo momma. Haha

YOU DON'T LIKE BUNNIES?

I like birds, phoenix, dragons, changelings and all all other ranks better. I'm mostly sick of it because I've been one for too long. That's my fault though.

From the "List of Things Hasbro wouldn't let a Brony do while making a game adaptation of My Little Pony":

395) Celestia doesn't need to drink Sunny D before she can raise the sun, either. Nor does she excrete Sunny D.

Haha, that's pretty good.

Actually Sunny Demon is my nickname for Sunset Shimmer's demon form. But no rum, she's underage.

It's been a while since we've heard from you!

Yes, too long. But like seasons of MLP:FiM I'm not done yet. It's time to make up for lost time. How's it going on your end?

Definitely not the face of mercy.

It's the angle. It doesn't work.

Yep.

Thank you, Roughshod! 

That rhyme you made was on point! 

With how hot the weather has been lately, the outside is a wasteland to me. XD

Why thank you, I try to be. Thanks for the follow. ^-^
