  1. On future builds I am considering Debian or Ubuntu for all my future PC's, I don't need to replace any computers yet, but the time may come. Windows 11 is just too bloated and takes up far too much memory, it's simply too costly to keep upgrading just because of that. I don't play highly demanding games like I used to, in fact I've been in less in the mood to do it lately. I used to play The Forest with a friend online, but I gave up on it. I've also been in the process of finding old console games to get rid of that I don't play either, selling them and getting some money back. I may not get a lot for my PS4 and Wii U collection but I don't even own a PS4 anymore, my brother has it now, and the Wii U is a dead platform, I'll keep the system itself so Virtual Console games still work, but otherwise without Wii U games it's almost useless. I just want to cover the cost of my headphones and headphone amp somewhat, there's other things I could have done with the money, like I don't know, purchase an air conditioning unit since it gets so hot here in the summer? I will continue to use my Topping DX3 Pro+ headphone amp since it still has warranty, I figure if it blows due to a hardware defect that some reviewers moaned about, I can send it in for a refund, then use my Schiit Magni Unity.
  2. Justice League from DCAU all get my vote. They have all had their low points, but I would say it is how they pull through as a team that matters, similar to Mane Six in My Little Pony. Justice League in DCAU don't abandon their ideals, they may argue, they may disagree on certain things, but after given their space, they cooperate like friends should. Additionally, Hawk Girl's growth as a character made me like her equally, and while she did betray the team in Starcrossed, she did not know Hro Talak would destroy Earth to get his mission done, her loyalty changed back to Justice League and Earthlings when she realized what was about to be sacrificed for Hro's mission. I got to admit her treason would anger a lot of people not just Justice League, but she was left with a decision between protecting her species or humans, it was difficult.
  3. Hi pal, you always bring good feelings when you're about. I respect your love for Snoopy though I never read the comics or watched the show with either him or Charlie Brown. Seriously though you showed much respect for people who buy and collect plushies and collect them yourself.

      Thanks Dawnshine Wonder

  4. I bought food with my money last week and will be doing it again, just the necessities, nothing special. I need to get some toothpaste and hand sanitizer on Friday as well.
  5. I can imagine that being doubly infuriating when you're not being paid for the extra work another employee is not doing. As for useless updates on your laptop, let me guess, Windows, right? well, people are pretty much forced to use Windows in a way because of the monopoly Microsoft has in the software department, I mean, we are not going to get MS Store on Linux. Updates are optional on Ubuntu and Debian as far as I know.
  6. Power Rangers is one of the few fictions I know of that mix magic and technology. Concept of magic is already at odds with science and is outright impossible in real life, but when combined with mechs, eh, I try not to think about it too much. Don't magical auras in fiction cause electrical disturbances? how would this even work with a mech? mechs rely on things like stable power supplies, and anything which could alter the physics of how they work could cause them to fail. supposing if My Little Pony G6 show got made, and combined machines with magic in the future of Equestria, perhaps they could make a drawback where both cannot be used at the same time. This would force characters to be more creative with how they use either. A cellphone would serve as an alternate means of communication when magic was blocked, or telepathy used to get around the issue of satellite communication failing.
  7. I'm not a psychologist however I don't know why I have emetophobia. Perhaps unwise to bring this up on here, but it's not like people on this site are thoughtless enough to make fun of that, not even close. I'm grateful for the positivity of this community. I do not feel like it is appropriate to make fun of phobias but so far nobody on this site I saw has ever done that.

  8. It's good that both you and Dreambiscuit are friends, you know each other in person by any chance? I think it is awesome that you're looking out for her well being and mental health. You seem to surround yourself with good friends beside me ARockARooster, take care.

      I would love to meet Dreamy one day in real life. :grin:
       

      Thank you so much for your kind words, Dawnshine.

       

      I love my friends, they mean so much to me.

  9. I know I said I would take a stroll outside at midnight when nobody else was around when a bout of depression set in after dealing with negativity on here which does not happen very often, but panic attacks happen much less frequently when I am not in crowds of people I don't know or trust. My mp3 player broke that night anyway, so I chose not to. I guess my head will always be this screwed up, with phobias to things like vomit and real blood, I don't know why and quite frankly it won't matter in the end, we don't live forever. My fear of vomit goes all the way back to childhood, for some weird reason it triggers my epilepsy sometimes and causes me to go into a seizure, which is not often, but it happens, and that has made my social phobia worse ever since, the worry somebody may barf up because they may have eaten something dodgy or something else wrong with their health, that I do need to explain to a therapist. That may be relevant to my PIP claim and I don't risk screwing over my Carer that way who also has health issues of her own, either.
  10. Feeling uncertain, however, Dreambiscuit said she had a headache, don't know if her headache is gone now, hope so. Less suffering is a plus. Usually I get headaches if I had been up for too long, taking a nap would help and it is what I suggest. I guess I'll listen to drum n bass soon on Youtube, what else is there to do? due to social anxieties I cannot leave the home unsupervised on my own especially when crowds of people I don't know are involved. Other people have life much worse, but boredom can really set in when you're at home all day.
  11. and since the destruction of the Dinozords in Power Rangers, Dragonzord remained in retirement. Actually the demolition of the Thunderzords thing did not make sense, as well the Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord got totalled, Dragonzord was still intact. In theory Jason should have been able to call upon it any time he wanted, since he still had Tommy's power coin and the Dragon dagger.
  12. I want to arrange a session with a Counsellor but I am unsure what to discuss at the moment, I do have coping mechanisms for anxiety and other disabilities like learning difficulties at home but those coping mechanisms get shamed by the prejudice that exists in Britain, and I am not talking about drugs or alcohol. It can be something as simple as a "stress ball" in other words, a hobby, living with a Carer judging by posts I found on other sites, it sometimes feels like myself and everybody else in our situation are getting shamed for doing something as simple as purchasing and using pencils and paper to do drawings at home, or getting a book to read, or heaven forbid, watching videos on Youtube or a DVD at home, all because we are on sickness related welfare. And it's not only people commenting on GBNews and Daily Mail feeds that do it, it is other platforms as well, Facebook, X, Metro, you name it. I know I should not bring up financial information here, but when it's relevant to a problem you're dealing with, keeping quiet about it does not help either. It's bad enough not being able to work, to be blamed for it sucks even more. Walking on eggshells just to please other people is no way to live IMO.
  13. Plants truly are underappreciated parts of life. I know somebody who grows them in the garden outside the house I live at, bees need flowers and vice versa.
  14. A bit sad, wishing I could move out of UK but my family including my Carer would never agree to it. The ongoing stigmatization toward people on low incomes is nightmarish. I understand people are expected to work for a living but there is a minority who through circumstances outside their control, cannot. The stigmatization problem goes something along the lines of, they're on welfare, some of them after food, rent, electric/gas and water are paid for, if they can budget for it, may spend some left over to watch Netflix or other subscription TV channels as a coping mechanism, and other people expect them to just do without and be treated like prisoners. They don't even consider the possibility that whatever device they're using to watch those things, could have been gifted to them by a friend or relative who works, they make blanket statements claiming people shouldn't have them. The bigotry in my nation is disgusting.

  16. Applejack is awesome. Wouldn't you agree?

      Applejack was my original favorite so she will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart! :ajsmug:

      Sparklefan Mane Six all seem like they would be wonderful friends to have if we were in that fantasy world with them. :) honestly I'd not feel comfortable picking favourites in that situation, they all have their positives. Applejack is assertive and honest, Applejack was helpful in Over a Barrel episode when she stuck up for Ponies in that town who needed their apple farm to live.

  17. Princess Luna at her best, what can I say? I love Luna Eclipsed episode, my favourite episode in season 2. So lovely to see other Ponies welcome her back, and for Twilight Sparkle to educate Pinkie Pie about the problems with spreading rumours about others, it's rude, disrespectful and in Princess Luna's case, it was denying her the opportunity to fit in with the rest of the crowd. She was Nightmare Moon, but in season 1 she said she was sorry, to Celestia, and had not been a problem for Equestrians since. No thanks to Pinkie Pie's fearmongering about Luna, some of the other Ponies actually did think Luna would eat them, but she was not going to, she never said that she would upon her arrival to Ponyville, honestly I think Pinkie Pie was out of line in this episode, and I am glad Twilight Sparkle told her to stop this, otherwise this would have been a bad episode for me, if the fear mongering had been allowed to go on unchecked. Pinkie Pie may have wanted to make Nightmare Night a "more joyous occasion" but what she did was akin to bullying, IMO. This is one of the few times where Pinkie Pie did annoy me with her actions, most of the time I can brush off her antics as a product of her innocence and naivety but this was wrong.
  18. I liked this episode Dragonshy, though it does not tick all the boxes it showed the nuances behind phobias with Fluttershy, I mean she had a good reason to fear adult dragons when they could potentially eat Ponies or burn down the homes of Ponies in Equestria, I think if I were a citizen living in Equestria as a Pegasi or any Pony, I too would be afraid of dragons for the same reason. The reason why Fluttershy was not afraid of Spike should have been obvious, yet some people still criticize that and miss the point entirely, perhaps it's because Fluttershy does not reasonably expect Spike to eat her or her friends? he is kinda little *sigh* Moving on, yeah Rainbow Dash charging at the dragon was not a wise move, but letting that dragon just pollute their town was not helping them either, they had to do something. Getting that dragon to move out of that cave was a needed course of action, how RD did it, was not helpful because it put all her friends at risk. Fluttershy was fortunate that the dragon had no interest in actually harming them, he wanted those Ponies to go away so he could sleep on his bed of gold, not understanding their issue. I don't know how I feel about her use of the stare on that dragon though, against that cockatrice in Stare Master it made sense why it would intimidate that creature, but a full sized dragon? that is less believable even with a lecturing Fluttershy gave. This is the first time we had seen Fluttershy getting assertive when faced with a problem, even then, that was contradicted in a later episode in Putting Your Hoof Down as Fluttershy seemed to have trouble asserting her boundaries until she took toxic advice from Iron Will, then learning from her mistake, asserts herself to her misbehaving pet Bunny named Angel.
  19. I thought it was a good episode, I voted 4/5. It looks to me the point of the episode was to teach audiences of all ages the importance of compromise, and that just because another side disagrees with us, does not make them evil, and the same can be true for people from both sides of a conflict. Buffalo and Ponies coming together and finding that compromise was cute I must say, they cleared a path through the apple tree plantation for Buffalo to migrate through, at the same time Ponies in that town got to keep their farm. When there is a mutual benefit there is no point in fighting, because everybody is getting a share of the resources that they need.
  20. Other than cleaning up and talking with family members? I sat and listened to music on Youtube, trying not to get too stressed out about things. Some things are beyond the scope of what we can do to do anything about, complaining does not help when it leads to stress and ruins sleep patterns. Good to know people here care though.

  22. I don't get the premise of Equestria Girls, we have so many stories about humans even without that fiction, not only that but it's kind of silly, think about it, them entering a world where they could potentially clash with warlords and perhaps even be killed, does not make any logical sense, and while characters in MLP do fight evildoers, they do so on the basis of survival and common sense more than anything else, they're not Justice League. I don't know about every other MLP fan on this website but I cannot help but feel like Ponies in MLP would find the human world to be toxic. Yes not all humans are evil, however there is still a significant chunk of the population who are aggressive and dangerous.
  23. And they kept Spike awake, isn't that great? also Rarity was too. And it was all the other five members of Mane Six fault.
  24. It wholly depends on what world is being created even a computer generated world based on your own fantasy would be dependent on your imagination that went into making it, whatever it may be, and human decision making is not perfect, mistakes happen. What if the computer generated world involved you being in a world where you were a superhero like from Marvel or DC? let us ignore the copyright implications in this hypothetical situation for a moment and discuss what would happen if you could exist in such a world, you would then have to deal with the same risks and tragedies that those characters do, including villains killing loved one's. Sure, you could still have an "afterlife" system in the VR world to backup the conscious mind of individuals so that they were not erased from the simulation, but that does not change the fact that hardships will be felt.
