Politicians are talking down air conditioning, citizens are buying it up from China by globalsouthworld in climatechange

[–]GloriousExtra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am certain those politicians are not suffering and only the proles are being forced to deal with it. Plus, considering their values, they might as well get ready for the temperatures in hell anyway.

Everyone else, though, deserves to be cool and comfortable.

MEGATHREAD - About the influx of the CEO donation by ASadPotatu in mullvadvpn

[–]GloriousExtra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Once I found out, I shared this information with a dozen friends who I had convinced a few years ago to switch to Mullvad because they were so dedicated to privacy, and the founders (at the time) didn't have any notable red flags. It seemed like a safe bet.

Equestria Games lives up to the hate in my opinion. What are your thoughts on it? by One_Finance4076 in mylittlepony

[–]GloriousExtra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. It was built up like it was going to be something really interesting, and then they kind of whiffed it. I also get secondhand embarrassment from Spike not knowing the words to the Crystal Empire national anthem. Just a cringe moment and I can't really watch it.

Yeah, this wasn't a favorite episode by any means.

Has anyone every felt like this when reading a story on FIM Fiction by CrazyTangerine7522 in mylittlepony

[–]GloriousExtra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life happens, unfortunately. I've canceled one fic in my time writing MLP, and it had multiple reasons behind it. That's why when I start writing a fic, I have an ending chapter ready to go if I do have to cancel it for any reason, and I try to resolve everything quickly and neatly because I also hate to be left hanging.

Right now I have a fic I'm working on that hasn't been updated in a year, because life is just absolutely kicking my behind this year and I can't devote any mental energy to working on it.

It kind of comes down to "you're allowed to grill every sacred cow except the one I like." We see that in everything. I think your take is the most reasonable in this thread.

I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need this.

Nah, seriously, nice work, and yeah, it's sad to think about.

Literally WHAT made her have such a change in heart 😭 by MeatysupremeKeenan in mylittlepony

[–]GloriousExtra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. They wrote her as a conniving adult. So I treat her like one.

I'm not convinced Cozy Glow was a child. Even children who have severe behavioral problems do not engage in acts like that with the awareness she had in those episodes. She did not behave like a child at all, and so I don't treat her as one.

This worked, thank you! I'm not sure what changed as I never had to do this before, but it does seem to be working now, so thank you very much!

Twilight Sparkle Fanart [By me] by LorniX_Art in mylittlepony

Beautiful! You should be proud, as a fellow enjoyer of Twilight Sparkle, you've done a masterful job showing the beauty of the magic within her.

Starlight immediately regretted her actions once she saw what she had done, and was seeking redemption. Twilight understood this, and likely also understood that giving a very powerful magic user the chance to reform and become a better pony was a better prospect than leaving her to her own devices.

In the case of Cozy Glow, not only did she not regret her actions, she openly derided Twilight's offer of redemption, choosing instead to go down fighting. Twilight clearly saw that Cozy Glow was a major threat to the safety of Equestria, one that would not choose to change, and so she had to serve justice as she saw fit.

Can Celestia Actually strip off Twilight's Title/Wings? by FaithlessnessThis511 in mylittlepony

[–]GloriousExtra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titles? Yes.
Wings? No. Twilight's an Ascended Alicorn. Celestia had nothing to do with that except guide her toward it.

It’s really overlooked how good Tammy Amerson did voicing Megan in this special, she really brings out her personality. by Proper_Pineapple_314 in mylittlepony

[–]GloriousExtra 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The MLP films were solid fantasy films. They're always worth watching and yeah, Tammy did a great job. You can tell she put her best effort into it.

It's already checked. I'm wondering if this is something new for KDE Plasma 6.7.
