Wonko - I'm really sorry - I've been in that spot where everything is falling apart at the same time.

I take objection to the idea that public health is "politics" just because some politicians don't listen to the experts.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:59 AM)

I was only replying to the general sentiment of the last three posts before mine.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:58 AM)

The person you replied to specifically gave the example of "limiting the amount of people in a facility".
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:58 AM)

This wasn't about "lock[ing] everyone in the country down".
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:57 AM)

All I'm saying is there are lockdown and anti-lockdown people and hashing it out in the shoutbox on a toy forum is dumb.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:56 AM)

You don't have to lock everyone in the country down to mitigate risks in one population.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:56 AM)

Of course older people have it worse, but America is one of those countries where people ship their old people to homes far away from the action anyways.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:55 AM)

What ar you even trying to say, anyway? That we shouldn't complain about others increasing the danger more than necessary?
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:55 AM)

Frankly, there's a lot to say on this issue that can't be encompassed on the shoutbox and I really really don't want to have to deal with politics every single time I check the forums.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:54 AM)

To claim that this is about the people in the 20-40 range is also disingenuous.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:53 AM)

Essential workers and such are pretty fit on average which is an extra boon for them.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:51 AM)

It's not really a personal choice issue, it's a risk versus well, anything you want to do issue. Literally leaving the house results in potential exposure, mask or no. Overall, most of us who hang out here are 20-40, and our survival rate is comparable with some pretty out there statistics.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:39 AM)

Anybody who has to go out because of work or groceries or whatever can't just choose to avoid any potential disease-spreaders, for one thing.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:38 AM)

Kind of disingenuous to frame this as just a personal choice issue.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:22 AM)

This whole "I can't handle people not me having the choice to not put on masks" thing's a bit much.
@  -LittleAutob... : (04 March 2021 - 09:14 AM)

Hey, Florida is one of the most infected states, and we won't even shut down. We may use masks, but restaurants, clubs, you name it, those are still wide open. Also, what's limiting the amount of people in a facility again? :p

@  wonko the sane? : (03 March 2021 - 04:13 PM)

Didn't that come right after the 2016 clown panic? No way to make clowns not disturbing at the time, surely.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:26 AM)

The clown guise is supposed to lure kids in, it's no good if it looks sus in one glance.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:15 AM)

The new one tries too hard to be unsettling from the start. Curry's look is just a plain old clown, until he very much is not.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:14 AM)

And Curry has a far more disturbing look at times than the newbie.
@  Sabrblade : (28 February 2021 - 02:22 AM)

And the original was a showcase of Tim Curry's delightfulness as an actor. 'Nuff said.
@  unluckiness : (27 February 2021 - 10:19 PM)

@  Kalidor : (24 February 2021 - 01:49 PM)

It just depends on what it is. It is preferable to take it to P&R though. But sometimes current news as it's happening is less restrictive.
@  fourteenwings : (24 February 2021 - 12:18 AM)

Huh, good point (x3)
@  ▲ndrusi : (23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM)

Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.
@  fourteenwings : (23 February 2021 - 10:56 AM)

Is there something about the Shoutbox that just means we get politics taking over the thing at least once a week?
@  wonko the sane? : (23 February 2021 - 08:26 AM)

At least your government is willing to talk about the collapsing medicare system. In quebec, their ignoring it in favour of talking about language again! Oh, and unconstitutionally denying access to eduction.
@  Shockwave 75 : (23 February 2021 - 07:52 AM)

At least here in my home province of Ontario we have a conservative gov't who doesn't want to cuz $$$$, but the argument is that they'll end up paying in medical care anyways for those sick people so why not?

It's okay not to be aware of MLP's history - not a whole lot of FiM fans cared about previous generations. But when one opts to write articles on it, one should probably do a little bit of research. Sigh.

Poltergeist as kids movie?


It struck me as odd, too, the first time I caught them airing it. But over time I've gotten used to the notion, as Poltergeist is certainly pretty tame by today's standards (it was even rated PG back during its theatrical run). And apparently it's considered kid-friendly horror by more than just YTV, as well.

http://j-davis.suite...-movies-a292957
http://www.the-top-t...kids-movies.asp


I dunno. As a kid, I only saw the trailers of Gremlins (1-2) and I was deathly afraid of the things. So much that when some weird scratching noise kept coming from the top of a cupboard in my room when I was alone, I was too afraid to check, suspecting a gremlin being there...
I only saw the movies like, in 2000, and I realise they were meant to be parodies. But for a kid, they were damn right scary. Poltergeist, again, based on trailers, was quite spooky.

People writing articles about things they like is a bandwagon, now?

Yeah, that was probably a wrong choice of words. It just sounds like everyone is talking to the same stubborn unhappiest person in the world trying to convince him otherwise. Everyone loves and sings praises about the same aspects of the show they like, namely the entire show, lol.

Not sure where to post this...

Today was Pony Day for me - not only have I gotten the October issue of the MLP-FiM magazine, and 2 PVC-miniponies for my friends, but - I spotted this:



E-Yup, us Hungarians got a separate DVD release of "Ticket Master", with Hungarian, Polish, Czech and Russian audio. Also, the DVD comes with an extra Twilight Sparkle mini-PVC pony.

The Hungarian voices are surprisingly good, actually - especially Rarity and Twilight, who sound just like the english actresses. The names are not translated though (maybe that's for the best, considering stuff like "Optimus the First") Though the DVD is costly, 3700 HUF (18,5$)... so I walked around a bit, discussed it with another pony fan via phone, then thought... "What the heck, I'll at least have an MLP FiM DVD on my shelf!" PLus, who can resist the power of ponies... icon-fire.gif

Haha, I guess no one was patient enough to listen till the end.
In short - official MLP-game in works. And it has villain.

Interesting... I wonder what type of game it will be and if it'll actually be any good. If it's anything like the show it could be good but if it's the usual girly tie-in game...

What am I listening to? Who is this person, and why should I believe him? Is this you? Why is this person using such a crappy website where I can't chose to move to another part of the audio file? What forum and thread is he talking about? Did you actually expect people to listen through it without an indication of what it was or why it's important? Where did you find this?

I imagine someone on 4chan or another such place found it. I put it on in the background since I wasn't really doing anything important, and holy crap does that dude like to listen to himself talk! That alone lends a bit of credence to the claim that he's some kind of semi-professional VA (a totally professional VA wouldn't be like that, I'd hope, lol). But yeah, on a forum like this one, it usually takes more than a random link to make most people commit to sitting there for a few minutes and listen to something. These types of forums, unlike the "chan" boards, tend to favour more full-length discussion.

As much as I'd like to see a FiM video game, I don't hold out high hopes as to the quality of anything we do get. The Nintendo DS has about 500 different games about horses and/or ponies and/or barbie riding around on horses and/or ponies. Each and every one of them is pure garbage, like all DS shovelware. I don't see Hasbro putting much more work into a game than any of those other companies do.
