I was thinking about how my social anxiety makes it hard for me to communicate exactly what I want to say. You see me super energetic and overall out there on here, but in real life..I'm really just an extremely anxious person who hardly speaks. I sometimes have to write down what I want to say and give it to the person because talking is a challenge. I'm still anxious on here too. I try to write something, but I delete it, write, start over again, and write again. And even then I don't like what I said. I don't know, sorry, I'm just bad at talking. 

 

 

I get you but you need not fear. I have a feeling if anyone was mean to you here we'd all be loading our guns ready to kill them

Oh man I completely feel this, talking to people is hard. 

Especially when people chronically misunderstand what you say and it's so difficult to set it straight after that, smile and nod seems to be the best doctrine when people talk sometimes. Doesn't do much to keep a convo going, though.

Ok maybe a lil' but just look at it.

Anyways, what you gonna do, roll one of those things over the top of me? I am ready.

To a certain degree, this is quite the relatable experience. The preference for writing down our true thoughts is something I would've loved to do, years back when I felt I would freeze in social encounters. Fortunately, this home allows us to do just that, and even edit our posts, if we ever want to rephrase ourselves.

Also, Stellar? Please don't be so hard on yourself. Communication can be done in many different ways. Speaking with a loud voice is not the only one, at all. If you find it more comfortable to write notes, that doesn't have to change. Trust me, I understand how unpleasant it is when people force your voice out of your cords.

Good people will be understanding, and appreciate your kind spirit.

You are sounding too much like @Luna the Great of all the Russiaswho calls me “bald” when I send him one of these.  
 

O no. The army is growing! We will need more fencing.

That is hilarious, someone after my own heart. 

Fun fact, when I searched 'Pony Central' out of curiosity here a few weeks back one thing I came across was someone in 2013 asking for these smilies to be brought over here loool.

...it's also super weird seeing some familiar usernames long gone.

Being a system is both frustrating and amusing because you don’t know if your thoughts are yours or someone else’s 

[Iforgotmybrain 6,240]

You know, I’ve never really understood the point of ranking all the music or movies you watch or listen to. It almost feels soulless in a way, too clinical. Not everything needs to ranked and filed as soon as you experience it. You don’t need to give everything a specific rating, what’s wrong with simply going off vibes? Never liked sites such as RateYourMusic and Letterboxd for that reason.

Addendum: also thinking, man am I glad my friend introduced me to Sweet Trip a few years ago. Such a cool band.

Agreed - ratings are arbitrary and too subjective. What a 7.0 means to me will be different to someone else's 7.0. I would prefer people just give their summarised opinion on something than slap a rating on it because a rating tells me nothing ultimately.

Oh, you!  I believe you will figure it out eventually.  I know somepony who did and you will.

I got screenshots working on my Linux system, it was simple actually, all I had to do was press the print screen key, and it activated an application called grim.

On another good note, I installed the Sandisk extreme pro sd card in my machine and it is much faster, especially noticeable with web browser use. True SD cards generally die quicker than SSDs do, but those things are cheap to replace anyway so I'm not too worried about it. As long as I got important files backed up who cares, does not take long to install Debian.

Humiliation? It's bold to be bald! Every summer, when scorcher begins, I'm shaving my dome to leave the comfort zone and greet the sun and fresh breeze! 

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,444]

I was thinking of this part of my MLP fan fiction for the final chapter which I am not even close to writing yet, but this is a sticky note idea type of thing to keep the basic concept memorized, where Discord places his magic of his immortality in a crystal, then asks Fluttershy's ghost to either keep it or smash it, he does not try to stop her, and tells her she can do what she likes with it.

Fluttershy after seeing what eternal separation is doing to Discord's psyche, she does the merciful thing,

and grants him peace, Discord fears growing old, but Fluttershy reassures him he will be okay, and that one day they will be reunited to be together for eternity and at peace.

this corrects an abysmal piece of writing from G5 official, where Discord's fate is much worse than the alternative.

I know he has made mistakes, but he does not deserve this outcome IMO.

Agreed, out of all features in media players, song rating is perhaps the most useless feature in them. Great, some people rate some of their songs 4/5 or whatever, but nobody cares. People either like listening to a song or they don't. Chances are if people have songs on their device for long periods of time, a month or more, they either like the song or ignored its existence, so we'd assume. Rating a song does not automatically make it more popular, surveys are used to determine that, not the rating itself.

All I use Jriver for on my device is to listen to CD's I like, if I don't enjoy a song, I skip it.

I'll be putting Ponyphonic - Lullaby for a Princess on this thing later on.

It goes without saying yeah I use Bandcamp to get some songs digitally, the only exception to the listening to CD thing I mentioned.

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,444]

Beatport is another alternative I use, any legit music provider for downloads or CD singles or albums is better than streaming though.
