Well, this is awkward. Next we'll find out she's actually Edward Cullen.

I don't question my masculinity, but I've always been curious about what it would be like to wear the opposite sex's clothes. In particular, I've wondered how it would feel to wear a skirt. Obviously, I can't go about doing it without effectively committing social suicide, because you're right--the world looks down on this stuff. That aside, it would be an interesting experience. Ultimately, I don't really mind crossdressing and transvestites. I might look at a crossdresser funny, since it's really not something I see everyday, but I don't think I'll care too much in the end. Of course, if I ever try to get a girlfriend, I'll have to be wary. It's also interesting to note that the Romans considered wearing pants to be barbaric, even for men. Funny how times change.

Oh, hey, I was just thinking about this question a few days ago. Cute, definitely, going by both appearance and personality. Cute = innocent and huggable. A relationship a cute girl will probably be more stable and longer-lasting than one with a sexy girl. They're also infinitely more approachable; sexy girls are intimidating.

Nothing's wrong with you. This emotional numbness--or detachment, if you will--is a common occurrence when it comes to death and dying. It's unlikely that you're "losing" your emotions; it's more likely that you're dissociating yourself from your mother to protect yourself. Hope everything goes well for you and your mother, fellow brony.

News about NASA always makes me excited, regardless of whether it's important or not. Even if life exists or has existed on Mars, it's unlikely that they were intelligent. At best, it could give us important information that we might use to eventually colonize the planet. But, to get on the topic of intelligent life, extraterrestrial civilizations may very well pose a threat to the human race. For all we know, they could be violent. Their technology may seem magical to us (or, as Arthur C. Clarke said, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"). On the other hand, we might make them look like cavemen. Indeed, given the age of the universe, it's unlikely for civilizations to develop at the same time. One civilization may well be billions of years older than another. The technological disparity may be such that one civilization may look like gods. To them, we'd be less than ants--less than bacteria, even. And they may treat us as such. They can kill us casually, maybe without even realizing it. Hell, they might not even realize we're sapient. The disparity doesn't even need to be that big, either, for us to be threatened. Even Stephen Hawking has warned about the potential ramifications of contacting aliens. You might say that an advanced civilization would likely to be peaceful. Maybe so, but is that worth risking everything for? An advanced civilization may or may not be peaceful. Despite those concerns, however, I'm overwhelmingly pro-exploration. The continued existence of our species depends on us colonizing worlds beyond Earth. Leaving all the eggs in one basket is a sure way to go extinct. Of course, the simple reason is because I'm just fascinated with astronomy. It would be great to boldly go where no man has gone before. Unfortunately, not many people give a damn about space exploration. It makes sense, though, since we have more immediate problems around. But it's sad, because NASA has received less funding in the past 50 years than the government spends on defense in one year. And it'll probably remain that way for the next few decades. Unless they find oil. Then we'll have a colony there by next summer.

With Thanksgiving coming around in the US, I feel it would be appropriate to have a thread for giving our thanks. You don't have to celebrate Thanksgiving to post, of course! I'll start. My parents are the first that come to mind. They brought me into this world and worked hard to raise me into who I am today. I've known people who grew up with one or no parents. Some of them are happy, but more of them crash and burn. I've frequently worked with the disadvantaged when I volunteer, and one thing that strikes me is the relationship--or lack thereof--between the children and the parents. It's sad, but it really drives home how fortunate I am to have loving parents. When I was younger, I didn't know how hard it was to raise kids, and I am infinitely grateful that they continued to love and support me despite the inconvenience. It makes me feel guilty for even sometimes being rebellious or defiant, because I know that they just want what's best for me. So, thank you Mom, and thank you, Dad. I'm alive. That's enough to be thankful for right there. And, of course, no thank you post on this site is complete without mentioning My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I don't have a touching story about how MLP saved me from killing myself or anything, but MLP--and the wonderful fandom that comes with it--reintroduced me to my childhood. Something about the show managed to break my hard exterior and warm my icy heart. Thanks! I'd give more, but I don't want to bore you with TL;DR stuff. So, what are you thankful for? And don't forget to tell those you give thanks to!

Wow, I wasn't even a brony back then. My defenses against the pony onslaught were still (barely) holding.

^ Nope > Likes My Little Pony v Prefers tea over coffee

I came in expecting The Most Interesting Pony in the World saying, "I don't always draw ponies, but when I do, I prefer Don Equines." And yet, this thread blew my expectations away. Seriously, phenomenal work!

Russia's an awesome country. I had a music teacher who was from Russia. Learned how to speak with a Russian accent from him. At the same time . . .

Yes, indeed he does. Our good friend Slender Man was born in the year 2009, and has been molesting virtual kids and stalking gullible people ever since.

Wait, what.
