  1. Gaming, watching films or TV shows, I would like to continue my MLP fan fiction some time however I have not been in the mood to do it recently. I cannot help but wonder what would happen if somebody from outside the house were to read it, would they think it's foolish of me to wish to be in Equestria knowing it can never happen? I'm not as smart as I would like to be, though I do not hallucinate about this or hear voices in my head, it does inch closer to having an imaginary friend now that I think about it. Adult MLP fans already do get picked on whether they write fan fictions or not, but the only sensible response to this, is to be defiant, we don't owe people with prejudices an explanation why we like what we do.
  2. I mean, we're talking about people who fantasize about being in a relationship with a fictional character of another species, sometimes extra-terrestrial. Let me be honest and say at first I never understood it, but over time, I can see why, and as long as they're respecting other's boundaries they discuss it with, it is okay. Don't sexualize characters especially minor characters or characters with a target demographic of minors, and as long as adults keep it in their head instead, they're already cautious not to offend, disturb or upset anybody else.
  3. I don't have any VHS tapes, I used to, but I found more convenience in DVD's because with a bluray drive you can support most of the modern formats including its predecessor DVD. One movie I did remember having on VHS and rewatching was BFG 1989. VCR's had neat features in them that let us record TV programmes though which was nice.
  4. The truth is I do not know, what purpose would this be for? I'd be afraid of approaching any of them at first, not because of physical harm but because I would not know what to say to them and I would not wish to put them through anymore stress than they already go through. But if I refused to talk to them for any reason, it could come across as condescending or dismissive, so I would not want that outcome either. Yeah I know, sounds dumb right? I sometimes talk about wishing I could be in Equestria, but without a different set of circumstances on how I came to be in that fictional universe, I would have the same problems I do here, social anxiety and all, I can talk to people anonymously but even then I have to be careful how I word things. For example, if discussing royalty, typically the way to address them is "Your highness" or "your majesty" in the same sentence you are discussing anything with them, or I guess "Dear Princess Celestia" works too. It may be considered outdated language now, but respecting cultures is important, if I fail to respect their culture, that could be seen as bad etiquette there and would put me at odds with them. Growing up with them in another lifetime in a fictional world scenario would have been better, friendships are easier to form if it is the place we grew up in. If you're in a situation where you would rarely talk to them, it is not likely any relationship would follow.
  5. As amused as I am about Beavis and Butthead cartoon and their antics, I don't get Beavis obsession with tp and calling himself Cornholio. Hilarious that they got let out of prison for that as well, does not take much to impress the Warden, all an inmate has to do for early parole is to demand tp.
  6. Beyblade G Revolution Gameboy Advance game.
  7. About the blood-test I have to have done tomorrow, yuck.
  8. Coded for Windows, mainly has to do with the popularity of the platform and Microsoft wanting control over their own video games. There is truth in what you say, however Windows 11 received some negative press not just because of its strict hardware requirements and mandating TPM 2.0 on its release years ago and not guaranteeing compatibility with older gen I series Intel processors, but it uses far too much memory. I'm not a programmer myself however I do use my PC for gaming, and based on past experience I cannot say what Windows 11 uses on idle post installation is a good thing, a pagefile may be faster on an SSD than with a hard drive, but it is still considerably slower than RAM is so the amount of RAM Windows 11 uses on idle which is often in excess of over 8 gigabytes while using prefetch cache to justify this does not make me confident in it. Some of the stuff being prefetched isn't needed to begin with, if you're using an SSD, your system is likely already fast enough to load those programs without prefetch involved, all Windows is doing at that point is wasting RAM and depriving other applications of the RAM they may need later on to function. Ubuntu works differently it would seem as it only keeps things in RAM if they're needed at the time.

  10. I like what Magma says in Batman Beyond episode Terrific Trio "No, I am an accident, with heroes they make a choice, I never did." This hits home the duality of choice, and the important distinction between what heroes are and are not. Without autonomy there is no heroism.
  11. I don't speak for anybody else here, how this affects them is a nuanced issue and their own subjective experiences are within their own right to determine for themselves, not mine. But as for my experience with depression? it's a curse, one that has brought me to ruin many times over and one which I've had to seek therapy sessions for, and I have a feeling it probably won't be the last one. And it does not help to exist in a world that brings that pain either, I did not come here to burden anybody else or make enemies, but it only takes one misunderstanding for people to mistreat us or vice versa, and I've been at wits end about it on separate occasions, how do you recover from something like this? maybe some others are stronger than I am, I don't know, like I said I can only state my own experience with depression, sometime days I can cope with it, other days it gets so horrible I cannot sleep. Next time I see a GP I will ask them to extend my prescription of diazepam, at least when I am dreaming I'm out of it. It's part of the reason why I daydream, I don't hallucinate about beings who are not there, and I don't have a religion, however I am beginning to understand more deeply why some people would want an imaginary friend, considering that their imaginary friend appears to bring them more comfort than the real world does, or at least, they imply it, but hallucinations are still a sign of something going fundamentally wrong with a person's brain, and a fictional person is never a good substitute for a real person who you can relate to, it's one of those conundrums of the psyche, people seek refuge even in places that are only temporary, but in the end, what needs to change is how we treat each other, that is the only hope the world has in recovering from the mess it is in.
  12. I have not thought about this, I've been single since I was in school. I am single, have no intention on finding a date, not in person or on the internet. I have difficulty getting close to people as it is, worry about the pain that comes with that if it goes wrong, and to be a friend is enough for me, whether they agree with my opinions or not, and not all of my friends do which is fine. I have friends who don't even like My Little Pony, and it's whatever, that does not define their character as it does not define my own. But as long as they respect me as a person and don't belittle me or anybody else for this, I find them to be likable. So far, I have not encountered a friend who did this so I've had luck with that one, it would probably work out the same in a dating situation, however, I understand some people have been made fun of for their preferences in life which can affect their relationships with other people. Apparently adults get mistreated for not conforming to societal norms though, you know how that goes, the stereotype that adults must only watch horror films or do things considered "mature" like going to the bar or smoke tobacco and just as it was in the 80's this problem persists today, but quite frankly that is their problem not mine, and I think smoking is not mature at all, it is a destructive habit that puts a strain on our healthcare system, and they set a bad example for children. Which leads me to question whether or not people would date someone who smokes cigarettes?
  13. But he blew up your ponification machine!
  14. Aren't you even the least bit concerned about Spongebob? he may try to stop you!
  15. Spongebob does a humorous laugh that annoys Squidward, completely unaware of the patty recipe being stolen.
  16. Liking rainbows, friendship and peace is something we have in common here.
  17. Plankton just earned the achievement Gene Splicer.
  18. Spongebob shows up in an officer uniform and demands Plankton he give back the energy source he stole to power his ponification machine! Patrick then humorously scolds Plankton with "You stole my idea! give it back!"
  19. They did have problems, Ponyville has not really seen more bouts of aggression overall than our world has seem to however, and while Everfree Forest has Timberwolves, in the real world we have mosquitoes, who infect people enough to be considered one of the most dangerous animals on the planet and which I remind you, Bill Gates invested in vaccination programs to address. Shark attacks on humans are not common, but things like getting bitten by snakes depending on where you live, is common, even if a snake is non venomous, a bite from any animal can still lead to infection if they penetrate our skin, pandemics are common also, we've had Ebola, Sars and recently COVID19 because of a disease from infected wild bats in China. All of which make Three's a Crowd episode look like nothing happened, now we have a potential outbreak from bird flu to be concerned about. Even in Applebuck Season episode where Applejack's mishap caused Pinkie Pie and other Ponies to become sick, does this mean food poisoning does not exist in real life? no, we know this, and this is a subject matter that gets brought up about food safety. Don't get me wrong, if I were in that fictional world, I'd be scared if I got lost in Everfree Forest, I mean, dealing with a Cockatrice would be risky as it was for Fluttershy, but this is why it is important to study and learn about the world we live in, knowledge is power, with knowledge you find solutions.
  20. A common criminal who does armed robbery gets held up by police and ends up doing prison time if convicted in court of law, as they should be and often are, that's obvious, what I'm talking about is our two tiered system that allows convicted felons to be left off just because of their social status or favouritism, the double standards in our system is the problem. At least in Equestria they tried to address this problem, even with their own set of flaws and inconsistencies along the way like in the case with Starlight Glimmer, who clearly did not have a smooth recovery like Princess Luna did, Nightmare Moon is no more, and while Luna can still use this transformation, she does not do so for the sake of aggression anymore, an eternal night had ecological implications for Equestria so it was in their best interest to put a stop to that, and they did. Starlight Glimmer on the other hoof, did not recover so quickly and her emotional problems persisted into the later seasons, in one episode if I recall, she killed Discord, before using her magic to restore him to life. Magic or technology, who cares, they're both tools of destruction if left in the possession of the wrong people.
  21. That would be a teaser, in my case it would be mockery of my desire to be a citizen in Equestria, because it would be short-lived and caused by somebody who does not want me to get my wish. So in this case, it would not be enjoyable, it would be humiliation. But it is in character of Plankton to do, so there's that. He is a naughty one!
  22. I don't use high end electronics either, even my gaming PC can be only classed as mid tier at most, but Linux generally works better than Windows regardless of the fact because of how efficient it is, and as stated by somebody else, it is only because of unintentional coding that games would perform worse on Linux, with all things equal, Linux should be superior because there's less going on in the background. I'm not partial to either Debian or Ubuntu, I use Debian on my Raspberry Pi 5, Ubuntu on my other system, but my experiences with them have been good and I discovered games on Steam work on Linux through Steam Deck which is good. It seems there will one day come a time when incompatibility with Linux will be a thing of the past, for anything DOS related, use DOSbox, I can now play Sim City 2000 on my Pi 5 if I wanted to no problem, and it doesn't crash as long as I don't go too extreme on overclocking. Vulkan may be problematic in some areas but it obviously won't matter in simpler or less graphically intense games like Streets of Rage 4 when the frame rate is already at a stable 60fps, I use Vulkan on my system and not had a single issue from it.
  23. The designs for the Bishoujo statues of Queen Chrysalis and Princess Cadance from My Little Pony FIM are looking good, they appear close to release right now. https://www.youloveit.com/figures/4002-kotobukiya-my-little-pony-bishoujo-series-princess-cadance-and-queen-chrysalis-figures.html
