  1. Hard to think its been 6 years since I watched applejack and rarity spend the night at twilights. (My first episode.)
  2. 2014 I think. Wasnt that hard core about it till more like 2016.
  3. "Similar" ive always said simUlar. Cant break it.
  4. Hard pass on that one. I would drink about 4 jumbosize starbucks per night when I needed to do am all nighter in college. Peeing so much.....
  5. Motorcycles, tractors, monster trucks, swords, fast cars, cool scars with accompanying stories, beards. You know the girly essentials.
  6. You've hit the nail on the head. The internet is great to solve all sorts of badic provlems for us say level 1 problems. Yet when we find a problem the internet cant solve, level 2, people become unable to solve and give up because their brains have not exercised the ability to problem solve. If you jog frequently then when you need to run a marathon you are likely to be able to do so. If you drive everywhere (google) then you need to run a marathon (say your car broke down 27 miles from town... with your wife in labor and no cell phone coverage) you will not be able to do so. Yes the 2nd part of my metaphor is a long shot to happen just like finding problems google doesnt solve is a long shot these days. I would still rather be capable of doing something on my own and not need too, than incapable. I love metaphors. (Also I hate running) (I've had students that seem to legitimately hate thinking)
  7. For me personaly I know how to use it for benefit and not get trapped in the vicious cycle of screen addiction. I remove technology for the sake of my kids who at their current ages lack the foresight or capacity to use technology responsibly. I will teach them how to use a computer/phone, I will not let them run free with a computer/phone for unlimited hours.
  8. From what I've learned of you you really have broken the mold that I am casting. You leaned how to work on cars which is a very rare skill among the youth of today. If you look at most people your age they likely spend way more time on tik tok than they do actually doing something. Thats what makes you awesome. You do things.
  9. I completely agree. Logically it would make sence that availability of information would make people smarter. However every measurement that can be taken has proven otherwise. I think the issue is that people know they can look something up any time they need it that they never actually learn the information. Example: grandma can make cookies from scratch, young adult who regularly makes cookies will still google a recipe because they never "learned" the information to make a cookie. I work in public ed. And yes. It has been. And yet we have more technology in schools now than ever before.
  10. This one time around christmas we took a fart machine to jcpennys and everytime someone walked by we set it off. Everyone thought it was part of the santa and were mildly appalled. Probably the hardest I'd ever laughed.
  11. Gosh darn it muffinnz you are worth it and you do matter! Quit your defeatist talk. You've had a rough lot yet you ARE an overcommer.
  12. Oh muffinz. I have watched many of your post and I truely feel for you. You have been wronged in your life. You have been wronged by your absent father, you have been wronged by the public school system, you have been wronged by society as a whole. I am truely sorry. Because of all these nefarious happenstance of your life you have missed what truely is beautiful, lovely, admirable, and most of all you have missed love. To have a child is the farthest thing from a burden you can possibly get. I have 3 kids. My joy is in seeing their smiling faces. Hearing shouts of "daddys home" when I get home from work brings a smile to my inner most being. They do not take my money, I work so that I can provide for them not myself. I make food so that they can be nourished. (In times when they are gone I often do not eat) It id my duty as a father to protect them from the burdens and pains of this world. The same pains you have not been spared from that have made you so downcast. The world is full of dispare but in my house love, joy, and life spring eternal. Do I have a new car? (2001 still seems new to me) no. Can I afford to eat at restaurants? Maybe once every other week. Yet will I have and be able to give joy and love till my dieing breath? Yes. I wish you could have had a good father to see and know love as I have. There is a good father in heaven who does love and bring joy. He can help lay aside your bitterness of past hurt so that you can find love and joy in life. You need but ask.
  13. We see how modern devices impair your mental processing ability. Statistics are out and youth of today are the dumbest generation ever to exist. Lowest SAT and ACT scores across the board. Why would we want to be like you when we know how to do real physical things instead of pretend digital things. (Im actually only 31 but have seen the negative cognitive affects and research so I have chosen to abstain from the majority of modern technology. Can I do it still? for the moment, do I want to? no. For work though I still have to work with 3d modeling digitally)
  14. Not really news worthy but I've been getting my house clean, finishing projects I'd ment to do for a long time, eating at home more, Reading to my kids. Its been nice not going to work.
  15. Umm. Johann Sebastian Bach. Like 1730's
  16. Nuff said. Isn't this the greatest thing ever!!!!
  17. Check, check, and check. The story was fun. I had never written before. Thanks dashie for the inspiration.
  18. Life is not complete if you dont have your cow.
  19. Based on true events. Only the names and anatomy have been changed to protect peoples privacy.
  20. Im following your lead. I think we post them here.
