Self-Improvement Man

I'm a Christian and I believe in God and the cross. But it's mostly a private thing for me. While I do hope that more people will start to believe, it isn't right to push it on other people.

Not everyone does, it depends on where you live, what time period, and what kind of people you're around. Over where I am it is looked down upon, because it's if you don't then people assume that you don't contribute much or that you're a loser, and it's a small town where rumor spreads quickly and social status is very important. However, a couple hundred miles away, in the bigger city where housing is more expensive, people don't care as much.

There are kids today who've never seen a naturally growing tree, so in some ways, yes. It may seem grim. but eventually things will change, because change always happens. And it isn't just western society.

Well I haven't been able to get to my computer, because I left it at my dad's house when I moved out, and haven't had any days off to go visit him or retrieve it. That aside, the last time I was having a great time on tht computer, I was playing Fallout 4, feeling completely hopless against the Queen Mirelurk, after seeing that shooting a few mini-nukes at it did basically nothing. I suppose that the next time I get on, I'll be right back where I was trying to figure out how to kill that darn thing.

I'll be visiting my family up there soon , so that shouldn't be too far off.

Yes I just said that

I like your signature. 455807

The secondhand emberassment from that episode was almost too much for me to take ,

but those kinds of episodes always leave me feeling the most satisfied when whatever knot the characters have tied themselves into, untagles itself.

No exact date, but my first time here was a few years ago, when I was still early into liking the show.

Good times. Waking up super early so I could watch episodes of MLP,  and play on brony servers in Garry's Mod while everybody was asleep. Gonna pat myself on the back for keeping that secret so hermetic. The cat's out of the bag now, though. And it's kind of an inside joke among all of us.

Some of my better memories come from playing on that brony server. "Ponies Playing in a Sandbox" was the name. Haha, I remember when I was playing there and I was a brony but not really admitting it to myself yet. Something I liked to do was make myself an office... upside down and on the ceiling, just to confuse the other players . Or Just kind of chilling and watching them do "whatever it is that bronies do" as I used to say back then.

What really kept me interacting with the fandom around those times was the thrill of enjoying something that you're not really supposed to

It doesn't have to. I just hate it when I said that I found it offensive and you guys still kept giving it to me. Nopony listens.

Try to no think about it too much. They're just being playful.

I did not lash out at anypony. They just did not understand and I tried to show them why. I have to say, being ignorant of my reasons isn't helping. Nothing is to be gained by reasoning with ignorant ponies anyways, like those who don't even care. But because you said I " reject simply on the basis of seemingly trying to dislike something", Fine. I will gather my reasons why. (You're welcome) 

When AJ and Flutters were fighting, The Kirin 1 on the left, had a more concerning and curious expression. Very similar to this:   

However Kirin 2 on the right, had a more "dafuq?" or dissapointed, displeasured look. Also very similar to this: 

Kirin 2's look is very similar to the Kirin reaction:  

I did not make any "deliberate misinterpretations." as you can see. 

I gave my best to express myself on how I was feeling on this reaction, and yet all of you guys gave me this disappointed look. I don't know about you, but I would feel very rejected by this. This happens to me alot. Tell a joke? Disappointment. Express myself? Disgusted. Explain why? Confused. This is the Kirin reaction all in one.

If you think the Kirin reaction is a concerning reaction, you're wrong. It is an offensive reaction used to be rude without breaking the rules.

Maybe it's because you guys like Kirins, (very one sided, aren't you?) But from this experience, You drove me to hate them.

Many ponies would be ignorant and wouldn't want to look into something they know absolutely nothing about and assume that Kirins are cute. We love them. But if you have an open mind, maybe you would see why. Maybe you haven't been bullied for 5 years or have been given that look by anypony else. Maybe life is too good for you to understand what is bad and what is good. This is from my experience, and if you don't care, that's fine by me. I just wanted to share my opinion, while all you guy's judged me for being the odd one out. 

But you know what I've been doing for so long? Why this hasn't been posted yet? Because I kept it to myself. I did not go around breaking other ponies' hearts with this reaction. It is the most downputting reaction I've ever seen, and that's why I have never gave it to anyone with the intention to offend.

But you know what they say? Ignorance is bliss. I'm used to it, trust me. 

We aren't bad. We just don't want the emote to go away.

Someone had to say it and I'm glad you were the one to do so. This is the crazy emote fiasco all over again.

That... that's a lot of brohoofs.

Also, we like the Kirin. Nobody hates the Kirin, or sees them as negative creatures. So perhaps having people send you the Kirin emote is a good thing.

Many ponies have different ways of interpreting things, just like I am. But for some reason i'm always the odd one out...

A lot of us are left out in one way or another.

Just now, Midnight Solace said:

Maybe, but I wouldn't leave a reaction that says i'm disappointed all over it. Sometimes it's better to keep things to yourself, which I have been until ponies kept sending me the Kirins.

But that's only one way of interpreting it.

The Kirin emote is just a picture of an adorable fairy-tale creature. Don't let it mess up your day.

Cause I do. Don't know if it's just me, but it kinda looks like a "dafuq you talkin about" thing. I actually get pissed off when somepony gives me it. Does anypony else feel me? What is it actually meant to represent anyway?

Maybe the emote is used to signal curiosity, or a cute way of saying "go on..".

Houses are expensive, and I can't afford one.

No, but I name my plants!

An onion started growing shoots in my cabinet, so I potted it, drew a face on it with Sharpie, and named it "Grunion".

Wassssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!

Oh! Oh! I know a place! Search on the internet "Horsies of the Apocalypse". Limited selection, but you won't be disappointed!

The last time I cried was when I watched Interstellar

Such a rollercoaser of a movie! The soundtrack, the imagery, the dialogue, the story... it's so great!

I found it out by a random comment, and The Truth Factory on youtube. I've moved over to BitChute alternative uploading site to upload stuff. But i think its a good meme though.

BitChute huh? I think I wanna check that out. What about "Minds"? I've heard a little about it... but I also know nothing about it.

Well i'll admit sheep behavior is a thing. But the thing is... even if some are sheep you can still clarify. Why do you vote this?. Why are you for this?. Thing is i dont see right wingers saying "Everyone who dont agree with me is a communist". They tend to clarify issues like "ok here is why we think this and that" so its why its more an appopriate jokes for left wingers in modern political climate.

I see what you're saying.

Hey! If you're really into that meme, a youtuber named "Argent" has a few interesting things to say about it if you want to go check it out! I think you'll like his channel.

Just now, Yashiru said:

Not as much as left wingers in US politics nowadays. Like Right wingers atleast clarifies why. Left wingers tends to just... jump on a train. So its more of a good joke when they dont bother clarifying issues and point 

Ah, but If you look on right wing forums and watch things like the "Unite The Right" event, you'll see a loooot of the exact same behavior!

Yeah, that's human nature! Hardwired into the brain. Even those who go around calling people NPCs indulge in those behaviors.

Well hi! And welcome back to the fandom! Also, good luck in college!
