  • good things to say to The Gays, a guide for straight people:

    "how are you? how’s the gay?"
    "hi can i have a gay latte with gaymilk"
    "haha ok pal, i’ll gay see you tomorrow!!"
    "01010010111010011001010"
    "my mum’s sister’s cousin walked past a gay person once"
    "haha i love macklemore"

    I have a theory that Equestria Girls was a genuine attempt to alienate bronies so MLP doesn't get too associated with furry porn. Hasbro maybe knew that bronies wouldn't want their magical pony fantasy land (an escape) to turn into high school (the 4-year sorting-hat that taught them that they are losers and will never have friends in real life while all the cool kids abused substances and sexually reproduced).

    Also like the original show drew bronies because it was positive and inclusive but I'm guessing Equestria Girls has a "whitewashed" thing going on, based on the character designs and things others have said. I'm not sure though. I continue to insist that FiM season 1 was an important thing in my life.

    He was a boy, she was a girl, could it be any more obvious...

    He was Maximilianne Robespierre, she was Marie Antoinett, and they fought each other.

    Walso, they were both spelled improperly.
  • He was a boy, she was a boy, can i make it any more obvious?


    He played lacrosse, she played croquet, what more can i say?


    He wanted a perm, she wanted a bell, secretly she wanted a bell for him as well

  • I really love that there's no safe mode on windows 8. I'm so glad they got rid of that unnecessary feature and replaced it with a context menu that will pop up on its own, sometimes, when it feels like it.

    shift + restart will get you to advanced startup options, you can get to safe mode from there IIRC
  • yeah the onscreen restart button doesn't work. Can't click it, and that trick doesn't work with the actual physical button.

    IIRC the only reason Microsoft removed the F8 keyboard shortcut for the Safe Mode menu was that testing found newer computers boot up so fast it's almost impossible to time it right anyway, even if you try mashing the buttons

    Sometimes it good to be a crocodilian.  And sometimes, it's absolutely awesome.

    Yeah, try to kill me by locking me in a safe and dropping it into the ocean?

    Nah, I eat iron.  Literally.

    Also, there's the whole "Holding your breath longer than any other air-breathing creature" thing that is only possible when you don't have stupid crap holding you back like a sapient mind or a stupid endothermic heat system.   What good is a mind if you can't turn off all its functions higher than Keep Heart Beating Every Once or Twice A Minute, Yo?

    Stupid intelligent creatures.

    yeah but that seems like a dumb reason to just get rid of it.

    also my solution has now become "back everything up onto a million flashdrives, reinstall Windows 8".

    I have no idea what could possibly be wrong with this thing.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    if only my so was here
  • reinstalling Windows 8 is going to be a tough ask in of itself, as that menu that lets you do such things only seems to come up when it feels like it, and there's no reliable way for me to get to it (everything that works consistently is undoable by me because of how bizarrely this thing has broken).

    I'm also going to be out of FL Studio again

    hooray.
  • if I use a guest account, I can actually listen to music on the other one, but the taskbar is gone, and I can't actually get into my account proper. Furthermore, none of the tile buttons work (and the Window key does nothing) so I STILL cannot reliably get to that menu.

    Also for some reason it refuses to acknowledge the existence of the internet.

    I've often thought that Hasbro was trying to chase off the fandom since, like, season 3, but Equestria Girls never struck me as much more than an attempt to compete with Monster High

    Hasbro just thought it easier to parlay the My Little Pony brand onto that

    Ugh, Diane Rehm, just shut up.

    Stop yakking about how human contact is good and social interaction is good and how video games and iphones and tablets are bad for children at every age of development because it disconnects them from other human beings.  You're saying this on your podcast. 
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I'm listening to a podcast review of Jack Frost, and man does that movie fall apart on close inspection.

    The Michael Keaton one, not the horror one.

    Yeah, I doubt there was any malice towards bronies in this case. (Though the whole thing reminds me of how WB got all upset over there being Rule 34 porn of Animaniacs characters...something they probably should have seen coming, seeing how many dirty jokes were in that show.)

    Sega actually successfully kept a lid on Sonic porn (this was before even Rule 34 was a thing) for a while, until there was just to much of it and too many ways to distribute it for it to be monitored and policed.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Man, they don't care

    They just care about protecting their brands

    Doesn't matter what the brand is or what it entails, just that they own it

    Oh, so now she's talking about how video games are too violent.  I agree, but the way you say this is very annoying.

    Ugh, I wish I could just destroy all pornography.

    Also, I've seen fan-art of Twilight eating meat because of her time in Equestria Girls. Highly amusing. 

    The movie definitely struck me as more of an attempt to make money than to ostracize bronies. I'm sure Hasbro is weary of the possible negative influences of bornies, but bronies also tend to have disposable income while children do not.

    It's possible the idea that a high school setting would keep bronies away was seen as a fringe benefit, but the movie definitely has a few winks and nods directed at bronies.

    You know, I do often wonder why Hasbro doesn't seem to be very playful/inventive with its brands

    Like, they never have MLP short cartoons whipped up and posted onto YouTube (from what I know)

    I wonder what Hasbro thinks of the bronies being the brand management team they never asked for

    Oh, now Diane Rehm is saying that middle schoolers and High Schoolers are "literally incapable of controlling themselves if they have a computer in their bedroom".  They simply don't have the mental capacity.

    At one point it seemed they were unhappy with much of the material on you tube, E.G. Friendship is Witchcraft being bared from being posed.

    Lately, they seem OK with it, or at least feel it's not worth the effort to police, given that FiW is on Youtube again.

    Honestly, the show doesn't do a good job of show casing ponies outside the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark crusaders, the princesses, and a handful of other characters. They should be happy that the fans have basically aided their giant toy ad campaign by making Bob-Bon, Lyra, Octavia, etc... interesting.

    It's true, I had a computer in my bedroom in high school and rather than becoming a fully functional adult with a career in software engineering, I wasted all my time in between setting fire to everything in site.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You know, I'm wondering how...erm, repressive it must have felt in the '80s and early '90s to have brands shoved in your face without all the parodies

    MAD Magazine probably made fun of them, at least, but still

    I'll be honest, as tangential as this sounds, I wish that Hasbro would put effort into making Hub Network something worthwhile, not little more than a collection of Hasbro product shows and reruns nobody else wants
