Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
Spoiler: Testing, Testing, 1,2,3You know, that's almost exactly what we said back when President Obama first said the American education system would do well to emulate the Korean system.
Hello? You want to recreate that Hell on Earth in the States? How many children are you trying to doom? Have you even checked the employment rate of those graduates of that 2-decades-long-mental-grind? Can't you see for yourself the obvious conclusion that that system, while producing the largest number of student suicides among OECD nations, has failed to teach the kids skills that could help in getting jobs, much less some important things about life in general? Would you rather your entire youth population be turned into either blockheaded snobs or self-loathing thugs? Urgh.
The Korean system is basically Twilight's method in Testing123, dialed up to eleven, enforced by punitive downgrades (going down a school year), and then made mandatory for 14 hours a day, six days a week (seven if you are in high school). You. Do. Not. Want. To. Live. In. That. Life. It's even already proven to not work. The current agreement among younger parents in Korea is that individuality matters and that the so-called proven traditional method produces only unoriginal and rather unmotivated cadre of office clerks. Only those who really, truly fail to fit into the system gets wrangled up into tech schools, so a lot of blue collar workers we get from this system are either simply antisocial or have very low self-esteem.Unus Mundus, Una Veritas, Unum Imperium.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
Spoiler: Thoughts on potential DVD Spoilers.I'm hoping for 1 or more of the following
1. That's the Library turned into a second tree of harmony as a side effect of the rainbow power thing. Of corse it needs to be remodeed, so they build a palace their since it is technically a princesses house.
2. If not the above, it's a remodeled royal sisters palace or otherwise in walking distance of Ponyville(I'm still hoping that "Twilight's Kingdom" is refering o a section of Equestria being placed under Twilight's Direct Control, while still subservient to the Diarchy, and that ponyville will be under her purview.
3. I'd like to see Twilight invite her best friends to live in her palace with her. Weather they accept or not is irrelevant, as long as the offer is made.
Or you know, just a mention of awesome royal sleep overs being a semi regular thing.
4. this has less to do with the finale and more to do with something I'd really like to see, but I'd like to see Twilight get invited to some fancy high society Rich Nobility thing or some such Shindig, bring the other five as her entourage, having some snooty noble or some such insult her for hanging out with "Common Ponies" ya kno, despite the fact that they're national heroes five+ times over by know, and instead of getting mad, Twilight just immediately rewards her friends with Noble Titles that she makes up on the spot(Her Kingdom her Rules), and said noble titles conveniently come with noble mares duties that are basically the stuff her friends were doing already(Ergo, no actual change except shutting up the aforementioned snooty noble. The true plot would be her friends reactions. Dop they try to act the part? do they throw themselves into their professions more so than usual? Are they harassed by the Paparazzi?I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Finally managed to catch the episode this week, and before it was off of YouTube no less!
Spoiler: 1, 2, 3 ThoughtsHilarious, but super awkward in its transitions. I would've been laughing more if I didn't keep getting whiplash'd. That said, the moments with Rainbow Dash just talking to Twilight were some of my favorite in the episode. There was something about that conversation that felt...really genuine to me. Hard to explain, but I really enjoyed it.
I only dove back through the thread for a few pages, but boy am I glad I did.
Congratulations! Have some adorable pony babies:

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
So here's an exerpt from a funny fanfic Pinkie Pie vs the Souffle
SpoilerOh please oh please I'm so close the last time I was this close everything was almost okay and then Scootaloo.
It occurred to Pinkie that 'And then Scootaloo' was a remarkably succinct way of summing up forty seconds of disaster produced by an out-of-control failed attempt to gain a mark and the two days of cleanup and repair which had followed it.
Estee is a pretty decent writer and pretty funny. I recommend him. (Rater you were upset right? Well consider this my cheer up fic)Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Season finale stuff
SpoilerI imagine it's just an image. The castle is real, but the location might be different, and they just wanted something more vibrant on the cover, so they just put it on a different background than the dark and creepy forest.
That was much better than I was expecting.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
Dear Diego, page 2 of "Celestia Wears Uniforms" is complete! My guess is that I have one or two more pages to go until the whole thing is done. I can only guess, because I can never tell for sure what Celestia will do until I actually get her on the page! XD

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
Rater gets a bit of an excuse.
And to be fair, it may be that she has good reason. Who knows?
Ended on disappointing cliffhanger? No real expectation of conclusion?
We call that life, my friend, and the only way to get a good ending is to take charge and write your own.
Oh that was your arrival thread? My, that must have colored your perceptions of us! That and the pseudoRP.
Hon, you were navy, right? You really see a situation where government regulations are enforced by people who are completely decoupled from the results except in how they're tested for success by other, similar government employees, and are surprised they missed the point? It's like you forgot what SNAFU stands for~
But hey, I'm a masochist. Can you email me a link to this nifty but of misanthropy?
Thanks, but no thanks. I've got one already~
How's your brother? Haven't seen you folks around for a spell. We are in sure need of funny hats! D:
Oh man. Perfect.
I almost got a nap today, but we mistimed te feed-burp-change cycle and then Scootaloo.

Heh, doesn't mean one likes it. My guess is that it's this, the Common Core. Lots to read on that site.
As a side note, I think number lines are very useful, from basic arithmatic all the way to finding transfer function stability regions, though making students write one out if they don't need it seems a little dumb.Last edited by Madcrafter; 2014-04-08 at 02:46 AM.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
The fundamental problem with this is that schooling doesn't give you knowledge except by accident. Schooling is designed to teach you how to get knowledge and how to apply it. Primary school teaches counting as an algorithm once you get past learning the names of numbers. Reading likewise. Science is just how to apply reading, math, and get information used to solve problems. And this is done through repetition.
People then see all these problems and think committing them to memory is the point, when it's not. Drilling number lines is so when you need one, you'll know how to do it. There's just likely a better way to teach that.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
Not the only one whose been noticing Spike seems to be getting the short end of the stick. Someone finally wrote something addressing the whole Maud-episode-lack-of-Spike.
(I mean, really, at least last episode he was there, even if he didn't say anything. Why, why did they not just do that in one scene?)

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
The last few episodes appeared on the Hub Network page for a while, so if you can't find it on the TubeofYou, you can check there as well. It's how my daughter caught up last month.
This was a genuinly... genuinely... this was an awesome episode of comedy. Also, everyone got in a good deadpan face (but Rarity gets the blue ribbon for that as a reaction to AJ's comment about fashino not helping her to study). That was a face that subtly whispered, "YOU ARE SO GOING TO WAKE UP IN A PINK FRILLY DRESS AJ!!" :3
"And then Scootaloo"?
Mane, that works on so many levels. I bet you could substitute any of the CMC and it would still work.
"Well I was boiling the potatoes, but then there was somepony at the door and Opal kocked over the salt and then Sweetie Belle."
Hey, it *does* work! :D
Season Finale
SpoilerAnd yeah, it could totally just be a marketing thing and we don't see any kind of Crystal Tree House Castle.
Though I'd be disappointed if the season ends without at least going back to complete the Castle of the Sisters. We've had two episodes with them working on it early on, but nothing since.
Yeah, Miss Bunniswan's singing work isn't bad. I tend to enjoy her literal music videos.
Hee hee, mischevious Celestia forcing her sister into uniform. Fun!
Great work at usual Meto. :D
I personally prefer fanfics that don't bring up my life in any way.
I'm trying to read fanfics to escape life, not be reminded that the rent is due. Hee hee.
Oh we got Navy representin' in here? Awesome! One of my former gaming group members was Navy as well (can't remember which carrier he served on). I always went to him for getting some of my military jargon straight in my writing. My roommate is a retired Marine (though depending on who you ask, Marines don't technically retire). He worked on Marine-1 which was pretty presdigious... prestigious... which was quite the honor.
I am totally stealing this idea because it just works too darn well.
I dunno... considering Spike is the go-to butt monkey of the group, I think not getting a part is safer than just hanging around to get injured by some crazy happenstance.Last edited by DigoDragon; 2014-04-08 at 07:16 AM.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
Yes. very much.
I believe my reaction was "holy s***! these guys are crazier than meeeee!" followed by 10 strait minutes of mad cackling
And then Bleakbane tried to get me to read his fic, and I threatened him in Character as my AQ guy(by the way, I'm never using him for RP purposes again, events in the actual AQ game have established that he is much more powerful than I originally thought)
the a few months later, I got bored of that, stopped doing it. Posted some pictures of the Mane 6 as monsters that I found, while making a Ravenloft joke in reference to something you said. Did a call back to that joke. Branched of into a sequel of the Roleplay thread, Joke was made canon against my will, had to completely rewrite my primary Rping persona to fit with the new canon(bit of early instalment weirdness going on), got marry sued agaist my will*, and the thread died before I could fix it.
Still angry about that.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Thank you! Celestia, being out of the public eye, is letting out her impish side, if you ask me. Unlike the Studies I did with Twilight and her Ponyville friends, the cameras were hidden in this shooting.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
In my opinion, Date with Destiny was one of the best Teen Titans episodes, mostly for it's visual humor such as Robin pulling off that tux in one swing like that. That's skill (and yeah, the pants and gloves thing boggles my mind too).
Yay! Poor Luna, bell-bottoms so do not work for her. Awesome job on getting the uniform details right. Very well done.
Right? That mare has a whole shop full of tiny pointy instruments. Rainbow Factory nothing, fear the Boutique!!
See? Works on so many levels.

So does #2 apply to anyone?
Spoiler: ResponseNot just Korea but China and Burma too (though Burma's a very poor country but it kinda fit in). I also remembered that another reason we moved to US was that they at least know how to teach student with disability (I am not that serious enough to get into Special Needs but I get angry easily back in Burma and start a rampage at school). Ironically, the time when I attended Highschool in US was the first time I became interested in reading novels (mostly sci fis). And the tests to determine the major too (Well, as far as I know the final test in 10th grade determine the eligibility to go to university, which she believed that it's worthless if you did great earlier but end up failing the finals.Last edited by t209; 2014-04-08 at 12:20 PM.

Re: My Leettle-å Puny 78: I Cun Speek Breezeee
The board's censor ate the last word in the url (the a-word), making it invalid.
Which is kind of funny given that #2 is about censorship and children
Summary:
Spoiler#2 on the article is the phrase "But what about the children?", which has gone from a benign question about protecting kids from mature topics to a phrase used often for comical purposes on TV/Internet when children and censorship are involved (One of the image examples is from The Simpsons). It's a heated topic over who gets a say on what gets censored for the rest of us (for example, the Grand Theft Auto debate). What does this have to do with pony?
Well... the example they used was that some people who find censorship to be 100% laughable probably never had to stop a small child from Googling My Little Pony and getting images of ponies raping each other.
To answer you question t209, as a father I take responsibility to ensure what my daughter sees on TV/Internet is appropriate for her age (Because she knows how to google pony images). I don't stop anyone else from what they want to see as it's not my place to make that call. That's about as far as my opinion goes on the matter (Dunno if censorship is on the list of touchy things not to discuss so I'll just stop here).Last edited by DigoDragon; 2014-04-08 at 02:10 PM.
