  1. I haven't been around here very long but...
  2. Melbourne, Australia. Officially world's most liveable city. :3 Seriously, it's very nice. Lots to do, relatively safe, very diverse, decent weather, lots of green spaces, vibrant culture, and of course all the benefits of a relatively-well-governed First World economy with universal healthcare.
  3. I had a best friend until about a week ago.
  4. Start a business, employ all my unemployed friends, take over the world.
  5. Grades 1-3 and Years 7-10 were especially bad. New school, hard to make friends, something something.
  6. For a first date? I actually have no idea! Maybe like, a good meal or something.
  7. I suppose I am sort of polyamorous? Poly-curious, maybe. And yes it is hard and complicated and requires a lot of trust from all involved, and you're going against millennia upon millennia of societal pressure and expectations. I got burned recently from an attempted polyamorous relationship that collapsed before it even really got started (tl;dr the other two people found out they really love each other, but not me), so I'm not exactly keen on the idea at the moment.
  8. I don't celebrate Christmas particularly, but I do like the festival atmosphere. I do wish I could experience a Northern Hemisphere Christmas though, having lived all my life in either Thailand or Australia.
  9. This. They probably think the insults are a mark of close friendship (not sure about French norms but it's generally the case for Australians) But if there's a name you don't like being called then you should tell them you don't like it and if they are really good friends then they'll respect that.
  10. From my personal experience it can be a bit of a hit and miss. I've went through who knows how many GPs, counsellors, psychologists, over five years, before finally finding a GP who understands mental health issues and a psychologist who I can reasonably work with, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. It's easy to be discouraged but you have to keep looking, and eventually you'll find that it's rewarding in the end.
  11. Surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you

  12. This argument never convinces me. Firstly, not all rules are equally valid. Some are useless, inconvenient, or actually actively harmful. Secondly, when people don't think there's a lot at stake, they bend the rules or don't follow them, because why should they? There's not a lot at stake, not following the rules often makes more sense/convenience than following them, the chances of anyone getting hurt is remote. For more serious stuff, like murder or arson, well most people agree that they are Bad Things that cause far more harm than good and pretty much everyone follow the rules that reduce or prevent their occurrance. A well-functioning society can be measured by many different ways and strict adherence to the rules is one of the least useful ones IMHO.
  13. Honesty Loyalty Laughter Generosity Kindness Sorry Twilight. I actually think having similar interests is overrated. I actually like friends who have some different interests than me, or who think differently, or who will disagree with me. Not too different, but different enough that they can help broaden my horizon.
  14. I'd also nominate "I am (We Are) Australian" Advance Australia Fair is a bit of an embarrassment, unless sung by Adam Hills to the tune of Working Class Man.
  15. God Save New Zealand is pretty much a perfect anthem, good tune, singable, poetic, packed with meaning, makes you feel proud of the place without being excessively boostful or militaristic, and it's bilingual! O Canada is in the same boat.
  16. Be in a position to help everyone I care about - however many I may have at the time - achieve their dreams and goals.
  17. How about mercy and justice. Justice without mercy - without the consideration that everyone involved including the guilty party on whom the punishment is dealt is a human being with rights - is no justice at all. It's merely vindictiveness, revenge. On the other extreme, showing excessive leniency/leeway to a "bad person" means you are not being kind to those who are harmed by them. It stops being mercy and becomes something else.
  18. We have statistics on this and air travel is the safest form of transportation as measured by distance travelled.
  19. dBPony's Wonderbolt It's almost like a theme song for me and my closest group of friends. The lyrics really resonate with our ambitions~
  20. Abraham Lincoln is my favourite pony president. The guy had a vision and a strong sense of justice and the determination and shrewdness to see them done. Plus I find him a personal inspiration; he battled depression and suffered from many many setbacks but not only survived but thrived. Honourable mentions too to Roosevelts 1 and 2. Both visionary progressive presidents, both prepared to stand up for their ideals. Both overcame great personal adversities; among other things Theodore had severe childhood asthma and later was almost killed several times, and Roosevelt was paralysed from the waist-down. All three were of course individuals with human flaws who were shaped by the context of their respective eras, but still, respect and credit where due.
  21. I've got several candidates for best friends. Two I met in Year 7, though we only really became close in Year 11, and four I met over the past couple of years on the Bronies Australia forum, two of whom live in another state. I'm probably closest to a guy who inconveniently lives a thousand miles away in Brisbane, but who I can talk to about just about anything, and who helped build my self-confidence to a point where I can even think of myself as having best friends in the first place. Sometimes this fandom is seriously magic I say.
  22. I live in Australia now (specifically Melbourne - world's most liveable city, yo!) but originally from Bangkok, Thailand.
