Agreed. Simpler does not mean worse, by any means.Perhaps ignorance is bliss. But socially what is done can almost never be undone. Would you honestly give up all your material wealth, your family, your friends, your entire world? Your right to vote? Wouldn't that be a removal of your rights? Wouldn't a position given to you at maturity in the form of an cutie mark be a removal of your right to free will? If everyone at ten truly wanted to be a policeman or a fireman, and they didn't get their cutie marks because that's not their true calling, then isn't their cutie mark deciding for them? If every ten year old did get a policeman or fireman cutie mark because that's what they truly wanted they wouldn't really be able to change what they wanted to do because it would be permanently imprinted on their backside. Do you really have a free will to decide what you want to do with your life? Truth is, Equestria isn't really a very free place. Nor is it very fair, pegasi and unicorns have a massive advantage over earth ponies. Unicorns could easily dominate all other ponies. Unicorns can use magic to do literally everything that the two other "races" can do. Equestria is probably as much a true eutopia as North Korea.

Well the whole "subtle" approach didn't work. So I guess I'll go the more attention... seeking route. Any criticisms? I'd like to improve it as much as possible. I mean I probably won't fix anything now considering how I'm kind of sick of vectoring at the moment. But just for next time. The more I look at it, the more I notice plain ol' mistakes. We'll see. I have things I have to do too.

Well let's just take a look into what you're really entering into. For the sake of argument let's treat each choice like it actually exists. Option 1: Not a very appealing choice really. While you may get to learn a lot it's also probably the school with the highest death rate in history. You'll also miss learning about more scientific and artistic subjects. Really it would completely restrict your future to magic. There also seem to be a great deal of dangers even knowing of magic's existence. Combine that with a government that is cruel, ineffective and secretive? You get a rather unappealing option. One of the least desirable option from this standpoint. Complete control of one's emotions are necessary to not fall into the dark side. Being a Jedi is probably one of the most dangerous options as defending the galaxy from god knows how many threats is not considered safe by most people's standards. I don't know where to even begin. Devoting myself to either doing grade school level research on animals or training them to near kill each other does not really fit into my dream life. No clear government, an extremely weak law enforcement agency composed of a relatively small number of identical twins/clones, a disturbingly large and open criminal empire that seems unable to do anything but harass teenagers, ambiguous physical laws and near universal acceptance of horrible animal cruelty? No thank you. And finally, the philosophical and physical limitations of living in a colourful world inhabited by magical ponies, among other creatures, that seems to be seriously lacking in political, scientific/technological and societal advancements in over 1000 years is not at all desirable to me. While the horribly flawed dictatorship government which is for some reason ruled by a princess, (or two princesses if you count Luna, who hasn't really done anything yet) which is defined as the daughter of a sovereign, rather than a queen. Who has, for some reason, thought it fitting to not bear any children, while naming herself a title usually reserved for a hereditary rule system. Not that she would need any seeing as she's over 1000 years old. Perhaps living for such a long period of time seeing as rather than send a trained unit of soldiers, experts, etc. to take care of a dragon, she decides to send her pupil and 5 friends. I could go on forever here, but since this is already way tl;dr, I'm done.

I don't think I like any of those choices. Most involve a violent death or a shallow existence.

The Blue Keyboard, apparently...

6/10 I'm not really sure what it is, and when I googled it I got a location in final fantasy and one of the nine worlds of norse mythology. I'm guessing it's from final fantasy. Still not exactly sure what it is though. It's also in .gif, which is for babies. Unless it's animated. And then that's worse.

A rather obnoxious "friend" of mine's dad recently committed suicide. I've never even met him, yet I know I'll cry for him at some point. Maybe not for the father but for my friend. It's not right to abandon your family like that. The mother has no family left, and no one is that financially secure in this recession. I don't know if he even had life insurance.

Well it's wasn't listed on the board index and there were several posts yesterday. Not really sure though, the difference of time zones could be significant. I dunno.

To anyone in particular Applejack? Or just the three people with a combined 6 posts?

Not even half the posts were on topic and the OP himself didn't even try to bring it back. Then when the mods brought it back on topic no one posted. The last thing we need is another random thread taking up space at the top of the list of active topics. If someone wants to make another thread about the same, or a similar thing, there's nothing preventing them from making another thread and keeping it on topic.

We're talking about his vector not mine.

I guess I'll be the Yin for this situation then. I noticed a small part near her left ear where her hair clips over her ear and a small part of her hairband and (Just what looks like to me, I'm probably wrong) an unnecessary point on the red portion of her mane that makes it look a little wobbly. Still great work.

Those are real tactics too. Many a war has been one with proper steady aim pro and akimbo. No... wait...

Next say: "I'm seriously looking for a girlfriend" while naturally doing a Hindu squat,

Double post but I don't care. I'll buy any dueling minigames for 2 scrap each. I'm gonna have to take this to the steam forums though as I doubt anyone here has 31 games just sitting around.

I don't know if you've noticed username but, this is already the pony thread.

I can understand why it feels annoying when you see a medic pocketing someone and they mostly ignore you. But try to understand from the pocket's perspective. The medic has to prioritize the health of his pocket, which is supposed to be one of the better players on the server. Unless the pocket is completely overhealed is and/or in safe territory is taking their medigun off their target not a potential risk. Other times, I'm assuming most times, when you're on fire with very little health left or when a medic just flat out does nothing after you've called medic 10 times when he's not pocketing anyone or is just continuing to heal and already overhealed target, your points are valid. Just because a medics priorities don't benefit you doesn't mean they're bad.

mvS0M3xkOnY I'm guessing he was hiding behind the shed. He didn't appear to be de-cloaking either.

Who needs a sex drive when you have a hyper drive?

If you don't have the money to buy it yet, what's the point in looking for parts? Unless it's a matter of a few weeks to save up; the parts you planned to get may no longer be the best option.

I deny any accusations of human trafficking.

I don't like to make sweeping resolutions that start at a definite point. I think slowly phasing in the most important things about yourself is the only way to actually change. That being said, I'd like to continue trying to put myself on the path to where I want to go. I want to go to university, I want a life. So I'm going to work for it.

Selling a clean familiar fez for 2 refined if anyone's interested. Sold

But you don't mind almost every other form of relationship (besides romantic) being formed between non-humans? Friendships for example? I'm sorry but romantic relationships between animals, especially "clop fics" are just way too close to beastiality for my comfort. While it's technically only bestiality if it's a human and another animal, I know what you mean. I'm just trying to point out that you're claim is a little ambiguous. Guess it's JUS 2 HARCOH 4 U!

I know most of you find your conversations on steam ever so funny and interesting. I however do not. This goes out to way too many people, more than I can really remember. Just because something was funny between you and someone else does not mean I want to see a transcript of it.
