  1. Queen Chrysalis in MLP fiction has many abilities at her disposal from energy based attacks, to shapeshifting, and even draining others of their energy. If she had been more strategic in her attack she could have taken over Equestria easily. Her going easy on Twilight Sparkle and numerous other reasons are the why Chrysalis ended up losing in A Canterlot Wedding. Changelings would not be easy to identify if they took the form of another without others knowledge though, for the same reason Princess Celestia was initially unaware of the ruse when Chrysalis impersonated Cadance. They may not copy powers and abilities of others they shapeshift into, but they copy their physical form 1 to 1, giving them sufficient cover for a stealth operation which should not be underestimated. While real life military would be superior in numbers and technological advancement, the problem here is humans are also reckless, and they start wars for stupid reasons, like one country wanting to annex another. And people support divisive individuals who tear up international relations. So we're not the best at everything, far from it. And ego is our greatest weakness and is causing most of the problems we are seeing in the world right now.

  3. I could say Windows 11 would be one of the things people would not get why its so popular, however, one thing to consider here, is we don't have a choice. It's either that or not have updates for the operating system. If we moved over to Linux distros, they have their benefits, but incompatibility with software makes it an unattractive option for many people. I do think there are things in Windows 11 that could be improved upon though, such as memory efficiency, and a more customizable UI.
  4. in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic I tolerate Princess Celestia's philosophy on redemption because there's a hint of wisdom in her belief, in not promoting a culture of violence you at least give the message that it should not be your first option when you dislike somebody, diplomacy has a proven positive affect on society, which can keep crime rate down. But Goku's reasoning for sparing villains in Dragonball are cringe, he lets them live so he can have a punching bag later on. And by letting Frieza live, he proved how useless he is.

  5. In DCAU Superman was willing to kill to end a threat, as he tried to do to Darkseid, twice. There are limits to his patience when it comes to threats and he wasn't having any of it. You don't let a villain live just so you can have a sparring partner, which to me, is a much worse reason for letting a villain like that live than attempting to rehabilitate them, it's selfish.

  6. I agree with people who say Dragonball is overrated. It's a story of inept heroes who let Frieza live despite Frieza showing no intention on reform or redemption. Part of the reason why I don't find it as interesting as some other shows anymore. It has nothing to do with me not liking shows with fight scenes. However I prefer shows like Justice League DCAU when it comes to things like that, since for one, heroes are more competent. Even My Little Pony Friendship is Magic to me is more interesting than Dragonball.

  7. Not only that but Dragonball depicts the fights in a totally unrealistic way, even within the context of fiction it is absurd. Do people really expect villains to cooperate and fly with the hero out of a city in order to avoid hurting civilians? sorry, not how that works. I prefer DC's darker depiction of fictional superpowered fights like the Doomsday movie, where Superman takes a brutal beating in order to save the populace from Doomsday, at the cost of his own life. And while there was collateral damage, that is a more realistic expectation of what would happen if two beings with superpowers went at it in a showdown in a fight for justice. Even in Hasbro's My Little Pony Friendship is Magic when Twilight Sparkle had a DBZ style fight with Tirek in Twilight's Kingdom episode in season 4, the fight started right away, no wasting time with screaming to build up energy or whatever, no WWE style trash talk, they threw down the gauntlet until the fight came to a draw before that deal was made. People complained about that fight still, yeah, but that fight only lasted 2 minutes out of the whole episode. To me, it isn't something worth complaining about and it certainly did not take away from the main point of the show, as it is conceivable that some villains will be impossible to reason with no matter how much of a diplomat you were. Tirek only made that deal with Twilight in a moment of cowardice when he wasn't willing to drag out the fight any longer, and that worked in Twilight's favour, she outsmarted him. The fight could have dragged out a lot longer like a filler episode, but it did not, so it never annoyed me. Edit: I'm not saying Dragonball is awful, if I thought it was, I would not still have my Dragonball Kai bluray sets, however it is overrated. And a lot of the decisions the heroes make in the show were questionable and when I say questionable, I'm being charitable here, Vegeta hypocritically accuses Goku of being unintelligent, when Vegeta's blunders caused both Perfect Cell and Majin Buu to reach their full power. Vegeta never learned from his mistakes either.
  8. I don't feel great today, been up to about 3 in the morning, not had much sleep.

  10. There's so many fan theories that could come about from that scene of the Simpsons, like Homer Simpson pretending to be an inept slob, but in actuality he does those things to deliberately annoy people while he lives a double life of a mobster criminal.
  11. Push it to the Limit, a soundtrack from the movie Scarface if I remember correctly.
  12. I'm going to take my medication in a few minutes. I don't want to be kept up all night, some video brought my stress levels up again though. Romano Report talks a lot of facts however the deplorable people he brings to everyone's attention make us uncomfortable.
  13. I don't know if that was the specific villain you had a nightmare about I just recognized him as the only purple villain from Power Rangers I remember. I could see how he would frighten some people though. There are a lot of fictional villains that would terrify me in a nightmare, since I am not a lucid dreamer, I have to wake up before I realize what just happened. Darkness from the 1985 movie Legend would scare me in a bad dream, who his minions refer to as "Big D". If you asked me which MLP villain would terrify me in a nightmare, it would definitely be Queen Chrysalis.
  14. Like the main characters in MLP FIM, our principles of unity extend to people who are not fans of the show or anything related to MLP. It's okay to be fans of entirely different shows and still discuss things on this forum. You did not come here to attack us for our preferences so you're not out of place here. I was never a fan of My Life as a Teenage Robot, however it's clearly got a fan following, I don't know where else you would discuss something like that. But let me be clear, I think it is good that you came here, and this is probably one of the best forums to discuss something like that in the general topic section.
  15. Such a cute song. Not a My Little Pony song, but it's good enough to be one in my opinion. The lyrics are so cute and I cannot help but be reminded of that show when I hear this song which is older than MLP FIM funnily enough, as it came out in the 90's, in Praga Khan's album originally on A Spoonful of Miracle, later Conquers Your Love.

  17. Low quality PSU's are not worth it, however attractive their price tag is, they're generally more hassle in the long run. If the fail they can take out your PC, in the worst case, they could cause a fire. I'm not saying you should buy the most expensive one out there, however adequate wattage and quality internal components like solid capacitors, are what you must look for.
  18. I should listen to Pink Floyd, I heard great things about that band. I've already listened to some songs from other classic rock music bands like Queen and The Doors. Speaking of which, here's a song from Queen you might remember.
  19. If we're talking about Mane Six, I wished I could say my persona was similar to Fluttershy's, but in the past I haven't been as friendly as her. Have I truly earned the right to compare myself to the fictional character Fluttershy? I mean, I used to get into fights with people, and while my brothers had forgiven me for my violent actions toward them during my teen years which was a long time ago. During my early 20's I still got into fights with people around my street, no, I have not caused them to die or any permanent injury, but I was mean tempered when I was younger and I regret it even if they said things which irritated me at the time. As an agnostic I don't have any religious belief, so going to church would never have helped. Regrets from the things I had done, adding to depression and anxiety which I still haven't discussed with a therapist about which is what I should be doing. as for comparing myself to an MLP character I most closely align with, I'm more like Princess Luna than Fluttershy, since Luna used to be Nightmare Moon and was violent toward her sibling, her sister Celestia. But her reasons for attacking her, while not justifiable in MLP FIM show, were different, if we're not including the comic, Luna did not do those things because Celestia said harsh things about her, she got into a fight with her from a misunderstanding and blamed her for other Ponies discriminating against her. I regret to say my reasons were more selfish than that, I wasn't thick skinned enough to take criticism and I was too quick to anger.
  20. Burnout is a reason I delay something, like by fanfic which is a hobby. I don't know, I just haven't been in the mood to write the rest of it yet for some reason. In other instances I delay something it's because I forget, like taking my medication, when I shouldn't put that off because if I don't take that then that makes my insomnia worse, a symptom of my anxiety disorders. Oh yeah, and I still have to go to a Doctor appointment next week for a small lump on my chest which still hasn't gone away, what fun! hopefully it's nothing serious, it hasn't enlarged so probably not cancer, but it's still worth a check-up.
  21. In my opinion, the scariest bad dreams are the ones that have the potential to happen in reality, because you wake up from them, thinking "What if that does happen?" Then again, non lucid dreamers cannot tell if they are awake or asleep, so it depends really. If people don't know they are still asleep, that dream can feel just as real as reality.
  22. Daffy's excuse in this Space Jam scene "She was wide open" gets me every time.
  23. Not everybody likes Pinkie Pie's antics or appreciates her gags, but say what you want about Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic but one thing she is not, is boring. :D
