Here's something from a woefully underrated and obscure RPG.

If the Earth is flat, why haven't ships fallen off the edge and floated into space?

I can't remember what I dreamed last night.

Peter Piper picked a peck of peppers. (Say that five times fast)

I meant plants.

This is just a topic for fun. If classical music really did cause plants to grow, then what would other musical genres do?

Well, yes. I'm just saying that in a lot of cyberpunk works, corporations are powerful enough to have military forces. Heck, even outside cyberpunk, there are megacorporations that are so powerful, they're basically countries (like in this old RPG called Mutant Chronicles). And as for powerful people ruling the world... that's normal.

Excuse me if I like cyberpunk.

Well, when you think about it, when people start thinking politicians can't be trusted (not without good reason, mind you), some of them will look for alternatives. Plus, it'll probably be only a matter of time until business people start seeing profits in having their own personal armies (or, in the Trade Federation's case, an entire military). P.S. At least I know there are more people here who know about cyberpunk. Granted, I probably should have realized that the time I once asked about good names for Cyberpunk character on here.

So, should I have just posted a 'what if the world was like a cyberpunk novel' topic instead?

Yeah, I don't get her either. It would have been simpler to make her a monster disguised as a pony. Sure, you would argue this would ruin the plot point in School Raze where Neighsay realizes he's been unfair to the non-pony students, but I think the Student 6 rescuing him would change his mind about non-ponies, anyway.

And have super strength.

What's your point? Friends have falling outs all the time.

Then why isn't chairman of the board synonymous with president or king? Why don't they have their own armies? Where are their police departments? Why aren't there terms like employee-citizen? Seriously, I feel like I'm the only one here who knows what the cyberpunk Genre is. Since when was America the world? If it was was, we wouldn't call it planet Earth. We would call it planet America.

You know, that's a very good question. I guess the popular opinion is that cartoons are for comedy and live action is for... well, action.

So, you want to cease to exist.

Do you believe in life after death?

She probably annoyed a whole flock of chickens, and learned a very important lesson: never provoke a flock of chickens.

So, in other words, you wouldn't.

True, but at least we knew it was coming.

If the Mane 6 watched the Dark Crystal, how would they react?

I think I'm losing interest in this season. Not sure if it's because of last season or what.

Fine. I'll be specific. A long time ago, I asked what if the world was run by megacorporations, as in, what if megacorporations were governments, then people said that corporations already run the world. But I wasn't talking about bribes, I was talking about things like corporate states. something like this (an excerpt from the Mutant Chronicles article on Wikipedia): "Since the exodus from Earth the traditional nation-states of the world have merged into five huge megacorporations: Bauhaus, styled after the culture of continental Europe, the American-influenced Capitol, the Japanese-themed Mishima, the British-inspired Imperial, and the ultra-secretive, ambiguous, high-tech wielding Cybertronic, all of whom use private military forces to fight for resources."

So, there is a new show on Netflix called The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. It's a prequel to The Dark Crystal, taking place when the Gelfling are still alive, and the Skeksis are considered the benevolent rulers of the world... until a Gelfling discovers a terrible secret the Skeksis have been hiding and sparks a rebellion. I thought I'd share some info on it with you in case any of you haven't seen it. Here's a trailer.

Exactly. Guard it with your life.
