Currently "arguing" with this really strange person on a forum. A few minutes ago we were having a war about how he and his buds are aggressive, judgemental pricks and how I am an idiot that isn't worth basic respect, but now he has done a 180 and is giving me advice on how to study for finals. He seems to be well respected on the forums, but that isn't too surprising considering how much of an awful circlejerk the site is.

 

The internet is a strange place,

 

It's not the internet that is strange, the internet is just a place where people can do what they want without exposing their identity. So when you have internet, it exposes to what intention people really have. It's also a central hub where people express themselves, and when you look around the internet, you see what people like to think.

 

So the truth is, the internet isn't the strange thing, it's just people. People are strange, weird, and bleh. So what makes the internet seem crazy, that's what people do, even though people seem tame, the internet shows how NOT tame people actually are. xD

DEAR GOD JIRACHI IS STARING INTO MY SOUL!!!!!

Its so adorable though. o3o

Haven is black. Mind = Blown

Yes, I am.

 

 

 

Sadly.

wait, you didn't know that? he's like the most famous of all MLP forumers

 

(even Feld0 wishes he could be Haven X3)

 

That last part is actually true.

And by true, I mean, he once changed his name to a nickname of mine because a friend suggested it. xD

 

As for the famous part, I'm only slightly known by older groups of the GCT due to my post number in this thread.

This quote summarizes what I want to say to the entire Brony fandom ever since I've joined, " Y'know, you can say "anybody". Instead of "anypony". Frankly I don't see what the point of that is. I would've known what you had meant if you had said "anybody". Seems to me like that's the kind of thing that everybody's doing just because everybody else is doing it. " - Spike, MAGIC.MOV

I second that statement. Reguardless to me considering myself a pony, I refuse to actually use the terms "anypony" or "everypony" cause... NOT EVERYONE IS A PONY! Especially in the pony world, what about Zebra's and Dragons? And stuff. Which is how I do it. I just like to use "anyone" or "everyone" because it's a more rightful term. The writers wanted to be clever and pretty much made a term that could be "speci-ist". xD

That's not even what I meant I'm fine with them saying anypony in the show I just think bronies sound dumb when they take it into real life.

Its just a bit of immersion is all. Its the same with liking anything that has its own special terms and whatnot. You're likely to take those terms and use them in other situations that aren't related to where it actually came from, so long as its still being used as normally would.

I could never say things like somepony, anypony, etc, in real life. I could type it out in a text message if I'm feeling goofy, but it's just not something I could see myself actually saying.

 

Don't get me wrong, I like them pastel coloured horses as much as the next guy.

[Delzepp 2,939]

how is that a "mind blown" moment

 

are black people not allowed on the internet or something

[Wyzecat 350]

Well, I just found this while surfing the Internet.

 

 

Yeah, that looks about right.

 

[be my waifu 2,842]

and you sound dumb when you complain about people doing things a little differently than yourself

 

o3o

[Screw Loose 156]

I say "anybody, somebody, etc" instead of "anypony, somepony, etc" I hope people don't think I'm less of a fan just because I do that, it's just how I prefer to say it.

I don't mind if other people say "anypony, somepony,etc" that's fine too, I just hope they aren't doing it just for peer pressure reasons, or fear other bronies will think less of him/her simply because of that.

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

I picked up a new contributor to my website that reports on anime, manga, and videogames. A guy that mainly focuses on analyzing and reviewing visual novels. I'm happy because I've been looking for a visual novel analyst for months and I can say first hand that they are incredibly rare, especially someone who is dedicated to it.

 

Anyway I don't usually pimp direct links but this is like a full on documentary on the visual novel genre, and i've never seen one before even being a massive video game history nerd.

 

I'm also enjoying my beer buzz full discretion. To be fair about 40% of all my posts on the GTC are from something or other, almost all legal though, no wait 100% legal yes that.

This place is kinda dead. I have work soon, I'm gonna be there practically all night. xD

 

At least the next two days are off, though I will have to clean tomorrow. >.<

 

So what is happening right now? That is if anyone is in here right now.

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

This place is kinda dead. 

I've never heard that before. Not as if it's more active during certain times of day or anything.

It's been deader here more then it has been. And also Ganaram seems to have disappeared. I haven't seen him post here in a while, is he even still here or did he leave or something?? Hmm...

And nothing of value was lost. Well I'm off to watch Death Wish or something equally trashy then sleep.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

This place is kinda dead.

This place is already basically dead considered to what it was last year or so. What makes it worse is you call it dead every goddamn day when it slows down when it wasn't even that active to begin with.

 

Dead is not when there has been a couple of hours of silence. :V

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

Habit? I guess? Well it doesn't matter anyway because everything I do is wrong nonetheless. Not much other things to say anyway?

 

Maybe I should say it's kind of inactive right now, I wonder where everyone left. -sigh-

 

But 2 hours of work left, it might be a long two hours.

Two words: mind games.

 

Greater than two words: less-than-ideal Internet connectivity at home, a close call at an existential crisis, recovering from the last of my sickness, and it's freakin' cold.

 

YOu ever watch something to see where the producers messed up? And I'm not talking the physical screw-up that led to dark matter Applejack, but something more subtle. Like driving an RV through a forest on a curved highway in the innermost lane, and in the very next jump cut, driving an RV through the countryside on a straight section of highway on the outermost lane. Scrubs, Season 6 Episode 8.

 

Also, today I discovered the magic of Good Mythical Morning. One thing that can happen outside of Happy Tree Friends is, in fact, deep-fried butter. Also, never make a diaper hydrophobic. It defeats the function of a diaper.

...I'm debating on whether I should ask or not...

 

Only I don't know what question I would ask, as this sentence removed all question-making functionality from my brain.

What random household item would you use to test out a waterproofing spray?

 

Why did Rhett and Link choose a diaper to spray waterproofing on when some kid in Africa would've eaten it? (Source: Youtube comment)

 

What's so funny about deep-frying toothpaste? (I never saw the verdict.)

 

Does deep-frying something healthy make it still healthy or marginally more appetising?

 

Is it a good idea to make soap waterproof?

 

What does "hydrophobic" mean?

 

Why watch someone test out the capabilities of a waterproofing spray when you could try it for yourself?

 

Why red wine on white clothes, specifically?

 

Should these by yes-no questions?

 

Why does "stardog!s" in Russian look like "crapdosis"?

 

If you're insane and you wanna show off an experiment, would you be proving the people who called you insane wrong or right?

 

If the opposite of wrong is right, and the opposite of right is left, are wrong and left opposites?

 

Why count from zero?

 

Where's the guy with the counter for how many times the word "diaper" has been used?

 

Venus is right outside my window, so what's that second dot of light to the right of it?

 

What time is it in London?

 

Why are you asking someone to ask questions for you?

 

And finally, who's the dummy who predicted that, with the advent of waterproof living room furniture and waterproof living rooms, we'd be cleaning our living rooms by hosing them down?!!

[insert questions here]

 

Sadly, none of those were the questions I was looking for, I think what I was looking for was more along the lines of "How do you find this kind of stuff out?" or "Where'd they hide all the bananas at?"

 

Probably the first one more than the second, but I'll still count the second as a valid question.
