    I have never really liked my name and it's worse now since I'm MtF and have a male name. Hate iiiiittttttttttttttt.

    Functionally all waking hours since I work on ecommerce things most of the day and I play video games or talk to my best friend on Discord at night.

    I'm being chemically sterilized thanks to my current treatment so that's out of the question. Even if I wasn't, I still don't want kids. Very high chance of them inheriting some of my bullshit, which I don't want.

    In person? Zero. Long distance would be five. I suck at humaning.

    I like the source picture and I dig Silver Spoon.

    Yeah, well, I dislike the religious nutjobs calling for me to burn because I'm not straight and I'm trans. Kind of a two way street, mate. Not saying you're part of that subset, but it's the idea in general.

    Mainly WW2 MP and Borderlands 2 as of late.

    A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time are the main ones I like to replay, but I go back and replay others as well.

    You should see my basement. PC big boxes from a bygone golden age. I collect retro stuff, mainly for PC. Need some hardware to play it on tho...

    Mainly all the times I troubleshoot something to hell and back only to realize the customer is an idiot and didn't plug it in. Palm, meet face.

    Just call me a brony even though I'm a girl. I don't need a special word.

    If I don't know you, no touchy. I am not a touchy-feely kind of person. If I know you well enough... then maybe. Even then, it's mainly reserved for family.

    Considering my long history of suicidal ideation, I'd say no, I don't really fear it. I fear what happens to everyone else when I pass on.

    Snuggling my Sweetie Belle plushie is the only thing anymore that seems to work. But it works so I roll with it.

    Neither because both sides are absolute, unmitigated garbage. Go Libertarian.

    Fun fact: the term algebra stems from Arabic and was coined by the famous Iranian (or Persian in the West) mathematician and astronomer, al-Khwarizmi, during the Islamic Golden Age. Another fun fact, al-Kwarizmi solved quadratic equations using nothing but Euclidean geometry. Just some fun historical facts.

    Mainly, I seem to bottle everything up inside until I can't take anymore then have a mental breakdown. At which point, I start the cycle over. I'm treated but it doesn't help everything... especially not job stress. x__x

    The last few things I've gotten game wise are a big box copy of Fallout 2, Europa Universalis II and Twilight 2000. Hoping my Japanese copy of Command & Conquer + Covert Ops comes in tomorrow. Still waiting on English AP big boxes of FF8 and The Thing. Stuff coming from Singapore and Malaysia... that takes a while to get here. xD

    Mine is easily Sweetie Belle. From the moment she spoke early on, I was hooked on her. From her colors to her character to her voice, I have been a huge fan. Not only is she adorable, she's thoughtful and kind, though does have a flawed side cause nobody's perfect. There isn't a thing about her that I don't adore. I don't think there's been a moment in the show where I didn't thoroughly enjoy her entire screen time, even when she was being a little hellion. Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and Twist are up there too. Despite Diamond Tiara being a bully, she grew on me, which is weird because I got bullied so damn hard as a kid. Just... something about Diamond Tiara stuck out, like she wasn't all bad and she had things a lot harder than the surface really showed. That was confirmed in a later season and I was thrilled when she stood up to her mom. Silver Spoon and Twist... they're cuties with glasses. I can't help myself. xD

    Fluttershy was almost criminally adorable in this. For the first EQG short I decided to watch, this was a goodie. I loved it, and so did my best friend. She laughed the whole way through.

    Songbird didn't take away from the movie one bit. Sure, her presence was likely a little forced, but it didn't stand out to me as awful. I find her design unbelievably adorable and I think she should come back in a future episode. At the end, I rather enjoyed her. Seems I'm in a bit of a minority there... xD

    I am, without a doubt, a full atheist and, actually, very anti-religion. Don't worry, I don't slag people for believing. Of course, this is only if worshipping fillies is not considered a religion. Cause that would be mine. :p

    Most memes aren't even funny. They're just completely stupid.

    general media Forced Diversity

    The Historian replied to Cruising's topic in Media Discussion

    I am very much against the idea of forced diversity. I do not want to see "minority" characters shoved into a game, movie, TV show, book, whatever based on that single trait. It's a disservice to the work as a whole, a disservice to the audience and an even larger disservice to the people that character is meant to represent. I am a bisexual transwoman. I do not want to see poorly written or ham-handed depictions of what I am in any form of media. I would rather have no transgender characters than a shitload of terribly written ones. If the defining trait about a character is their minority aspect, that's a poorly written character shoehorned in for stupid diversity points. If you want minority characters done well, Persona 4 has two shining examples: Kenji and Naoto. They are perfect examples of being a minority that make them both fantastic, well-written characters that are not forced. The Walking Dead by Telltale has excellent examples of "non-white" and "non-Asian" characters, and LA Noire uses race in an excellent way to color the world it presents. Put simply, do what characters suit the world best, don't use token characters and do not force diversity for diversity's sake.
