Dawnshine Wonder

I just advised Snoopy Fan to get a mask to use outdoor for his allergy.

Since I'm lacking excitement in my life in general, experiencing mental health problems like depression and anxiety, sometimes triggers set off panic attacks, I've been tempted to go on the booze myself, it's not a good idea long term or even the short term depending on how extreme people go about it. Some people get drunk for fun nights out but even then, things can go badly wrong, from fights, to even alcohol poisoning and being taken to a hospital to have it removed, sometimes people don't even make it to the hospital. I drink wine sometimes on Christmas, birthdays or new year, but that is about it really, the occasional burst of fun, not constant. I do admit though vodka and orange does taste nice, and I do get bored very easily, but no, it's better for my health to skip the booze and just go watch a movie or talk with family, I enjoyed a pizza last night. Then again consumption of fast food can kill people just as quickly as alcohol can in certain cases, I don't have type 2 diabetes, at least not yet, but I cannot imagine my lack of exercise helping that. Existing in this world has been, difficult, avoiding more morbid terms? coming here to talk with people who have similar interests or at least understand each other enough to be nice to them, like people giving hugs to Bairro yesterday was very cool to see. Positivity here does help lift the mood, you could say, a little piece of Equestria, exists here on this forum. We cannot go there physically, but the ideals they share and live by, can be lived by through us. I don't want to go to a bar anyway, social anxiety as well as seeing people barf up would send me rushing out the door.

I agree, and about the restrooms at the hospital, me neither, in fact it is good they hidden the contents of those buckets, because otherwise due to my emetophobia, which extends to animated vomit as well, I'd be sent into a panic attack. Even then, that doesn't devalue the message of the episode, Applejack is a workaholic but she also had an important lesson to learn about accepting help when offered. I think the workaholic analogy is ironically similar to alcoholic, since sleep deprivation and fatigue can be as detrimental and dangerous as being drunk. It is good to have work ethic and a sense of pride in doing it, where it becomes toxic is when individuals deliberately put their health at risk and then refuse help when others see they are struggling. That wasn't cool what Applejack did because she made Pinkie Pie and other Ponies at the hospital sick, due to botching up baked goods. What I was doing 10 minutes ago was reminiscing over posts I left on Twilight Soapbox, about a different topic.

Thinking about the comment I left on Twilight Soapbox thread about the Monarchy in Equestria from My Little Pony FIM Since I cannot make political statements outside of that forum section or DMs here, I have no choice. I've given the reasons why I would rather support Luna and Celestia in that fictional world if I could live there which is not going to happen, than the rulers we have in real life though. Our rulers suck, and have done far worse things than Luna and Celestia ever did. I don't believe that is ever going to change, because human nature is far too broken. On the bright side, yeah some people with empathy exist, just not enough, but it is evident here on this forum.

Oh, there are some good remixes of songs out there, I cannot speak for this one as I was never a fan of this or the original, I guess I could listen to it later. But I have made a point in saying sometimes remixes can be better than the originals. For example The Pretender - feat Foo Fighters - Infected Mushroom. If you haven't listened to that one give it a try, I recommend it, it is well liked on Youtube.

Watching episode Applebuck Season of My Little Pony, that cake mixture they baked up was proper nasty And at the hospital was a barf party, yuck, and it was all Applejack's fault.

About that controversy about Monarchy existing in My little Pony Friendship is Magic, the same thing gets stirred up about Disney Princesses, another piece of culture war rubbish I want nothing to do with. Although I do agree that Sultan in Disney's Aladdin movie was not competent, Jasmine would be a better ruler of Agrabah in my opinion. Sultan did not see Jafar's treason as a red flag enough to have him removed, if Aladdin hadn't have come to save him, Agrabah would be forever under Jafar's control, that whole fiasco could have been avoided if Sultan had listened to Jasmine's concerns, on top of this, Sultan tried to force her into marriage.

If I'm lucky, Night Sky may have the time to discuss something about the MLP Monarchy with me in Twilight Soapbox.

We need a thread for this purpose, in Twilight Soapbox for that reason, if you'll join me there we can discuss it in a friendly manner and without violating their rules. Also I've said on there before in other threads I would much rather support the Monarchy in Equestria if I were in that fictional world than the backwards systems we have in the real world that perpetuate conflict. It amuses me that other people somehow think abolishing the Monarchy leads to a better result automatically, it does not and there is plenty of precedent for that. I don't agree with a lot of what Lilly Orchard says on Youtube but one thing she was right about, was the Monarchy, it isn't inherently worse than the alternative, it's more nuanced than some may think, when we add fictional stories into the mix like Equestria from My Little Pony FIM, that only bolsters our point further. I would like to discuss this in more detail here but unfortunately the rules of this site mean we can get into trouble for political discussion outside Twilight's Soapbox threads.

I agree, however planned obsolescence and over consumption of resources is a problem we are all or mostly guilty of, we do it sometimes without even realizing it, such as our tendency to buy new instead of used but otherwise working order products. Okay hygiene may be a reasonable argument against second hand clothes, but what about electronic gadgets? Apple encourages this nefarious behavior as well, with their anti right to repair nonsense and patented hardware, making it harder for third party vendors to do repairs on phones or tablets without them malfunctioning again, then we have the problem where people are constantly upgrading to new phones every year, even when their old phones still work, it's madness, increasing the demand for toxic rare Earth materials like lithium and cobalt. I've made a habit out of buying used items lately, such as my Audio Technica r70x headphones, they were not new, but I managed to get them in good condition, seller claimed the box was damaged but when it arrived, the box did not even have a single dent on it. At any rate, purchasing used or refurbished electronics can reduce the e-waste problem, even if slightly. And I've not upgraded to a new phone in a very long time, I still have my old Samsung Galaxy S8, it still works and does what I need it to, so I see no reason to change it for a new one. I am worried about losing it though, which is why I got a portable music player to use for music listening sessions. But I do try to prevent buying things I don't need or will never use, some people are better than I am at this and don't even purchase half of the electronics I do and still manage, either because they cannot afford to, or they shop smarter. it is especially important to avoid throwing out stuff that still works if possible, because this is where the real problem is, things ending up in landfills or otherwise increasing demand for materials that are polluting the environment. Some people new buy stuff constantly just because they see somebody else who has the latest expensive luxury but not necessarily needed item, it is a vicious cycle that will ultimately make life harder for all of us.

I would like a fiction vs reality topic on the forum that allows politics, but for that to occur we need to be in the Twilight Sopabox section or else we are violating the rules here if we do bring up political discussion. We could both describe in detail why we would prefer to be loyal to Equestria than the hellscape that is our world though. Good thing magic does not exist in our world though, otherwise it would have disastrous outcomes and humans would abuse it a lot more than Ponies in Equestria would. Once humans become greedy, and humans are, it becomes a difficult cycle to break, we see the effects on biodiversity because of it. Extinction is inevitable, not a matter of if, but when, but human aggression and obsession with accumulation of wealth at the expense of others, is accelerating that process. Unless a drastic change in our collective behavior is made, I believe we're screwed. Ponies in Equestria from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic tv show are different though, their world is not anywhere near the mess the real world is, and they do share their power, despite the criticisms against their Monarchy, one thing I do respect about them highly is they don't cause war, especially since Princess Luna's reform after her Nightmare Moon fiasco with Princess Celestia, even then I would not say Luna was evil, she turned violent because of a misunderstanding, while not a justification, there is a reason why she lashed out, other Ponies did discriminate against her, it's just that from what we can tell, it wasn't all Celestia's fault. This is why friendship is important to embrace, compassion can reduce conflict like that, either between siblings or other individuals or both. Princess Celestia does not make the best decision all the time, but no Rulers ever did, however I'd much rather be loyal to her, than the corrupt individuals in real life.

In the end, the problem comes down to how much awareness you really have in a dream, a non lucid dream would suggest lack of control as well as perhaps lack of awareness of being in the dream itself, if you don't know you are dreaming, the clues about computer screens, mirrors etc won't make any difference. We need cognitive ability to recognize those clues. But I do recall my dreams feeling real at the time. Nightmares are scary precisely because we feel threatened by whatever situation our dream is creating. Dreams are comparable to virtual reality, think of Neo Anderson from the Matrix, he wasn't aware he was inside a computer generated dreamworld until he was told by Morpheus, before that he was too a non lucid dreamer, living out some fantasy where he worked for a corporation within a city inside the computer generated environment, though in both VR and the real world, he retained his knowledge about hacking and programming.

Once again, my brain gives me the wrong kind of dream about the supernatural. Without lucid dreaming I am screwed, my subconscious randomly generating nonsense I don't want. A nightmare it seems, of my essence being outside my mortal body, in my astral form being told if I was out of the body for too long, I'd die. Thankfully none of this can happen in reality, we do die, but it has nothing to do with magic or any other fantasy element.

Begin to Move - Praga Khan I love magic and fantasy, so the lyrics of this techno beat resonate with me. -

I like how efficient Linux is, on Raspberry Pi OS less than 2gb used, and that is with Chromium web browser use with Jriver media center. Compare that to Windows 11, even after fresh install it regularly consumes a whopping 8gb with similar activity. And people want to tell me planned obsolescence isn't a thing? My Pi 5 system has about 8gb of RAM so less than 2gb used with application use is not bad.

Well, since I have said if I continue on with my My Little Pony fan fiction - An Otherworldly Adventure, my OC who got reincarnated as a Pegasi then grew up in Equestria would have a secret crush on Luna my OC would never admit to and my OC would be shy, that OC would be a representation of my imaginary self, so technically you could say I have a crush on Princess Luna, I am so sorry. Some people may call me weird or sick for this, due to that making me furry and all. But when love hits you, it hits you, you know? I never thought this would happen, until I watched My Little Pony and then learned what a beautiful individual Luna is both in mind and body, the way she treats Cutie Mark Crusaders and her gentleness around children is particularly endearing about her character IMO, and to be honest I don't believe I'd ever be good enough to be with her anyways, I have problems, the point of my fan fiction, other than a fantasy about rebirth in Equestria for many souls who passed on, is a fantasy about wanting to become a better individual than I am now, it is not just about wanting to exist in a more peaceful world, it is also wanting to make up for past mistakes, even then, she deserves better. What's not to like about her? a gothic Pony who finds beauty in what others may consider dark and scary, I like Halloween, so Nightmare Night would not be a boring festival for someone like me or anyone else who enjoys the season. Her face your fear attitude is exactly one of the things I like about Luna, because darkness is not always something to be feared, courage is not the absence of fear, it is the strength to take risks either for self improvement or helping others, her belief here shows her compassion for others, even if others don't appreciate her help all of the time. And as I said to my friend Snoopy Fan, I could not just deny my crush on Princess Luna just because she is a Pony, to me that would be a form of discrimination, and fictional characters from My Little Pony such as Princess Luna have been shown to be capable of higher reasoning the same as a human. I think hidden messages against speciesist prejudice were shown in the official show with the implied relationship between Fluttershy and Discord as well, which had devastating consequences for Discord in G5 due to his immortality and Fluttershy had left the world of the living. In the end, if individuals love each other and consented to their relationship, that is what matters in my opinion. Think about it, in an imaginary scenario where I did get my wish and had been reincarnated as my OC Dawnshine Wonder, after growing up there in the fantasy world Equestria my OCs crush on Luna if anypony had caught me out would have been seen as normal. Much of what we think of "normal" is relative.

Other than food, the usual boring routine, I got this, Warner Brothers classics cartoons. I am hoping my favourite episode of Sylvester and Tweety is in this set, the one where Sylvester has that bad dream of Tweety taking that Hyde potion and becoming a giant monster, I thought that was hilarious, it is so absurd but at the same time it brings a barrel of laughs.

Haunted house music from Super Mario 64 would be a good candidate for eerie music I think, at least for me anyway, last time I played that game was on Nintendo Switch on All Stars collection.

I could imagine something like this happening in an alternate universe, where Queen Chrysalis did reform, made peace with Starlight Glimmer, later a romantic non abusive relationship developed with Luna. I know she caused problems for Equestrians in MLP FIM official, but after how much courage it would take for her to let go of her ego and accept a path of non violence, she deserves it IMO. I'd be happy for them if Princess Luna and Chrysalis ended up in a relationship.

It is a fan art someone else drew of Princess Luna and Chrysalis (reformed, I think?). I think it's cute.
