CandidAstrius you have three choices.

Choice 1
You could join the Eridani Light Pony Mercenary Corporation

Choice 2
You could join the Equestra Royal Guard

Choice 3
You could ask in the PUG games for ponies and see who reacts how

I myself prefer choice 4
I play to play and don't care much with whom!

You could look at it this way too. If you can do perfectly well with a pug group on a regular basis, just think of what you'll accomplish when you have competent teammates later on.

Don't think this has been posted yet, if so who gives a buck. It's adorable.

Here's another Mumford and Sons PMV for your enjoyment.





Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz figure prominently in the world of disociative trauma intergenerational ritual abuse and mind control.

Here's a popular Lesson Zero PMV that emphasizes mind control as a problem to be over come in MLP FIM.

Hon. Mechwarriors;




Here we see everyone's favorite villain messing with another ponies mind.





As you can see the theme of Mind Control is quite widespread within the fandom and openly addressed in the MLP FIM show as well. What is surprising is the lack of attention paid to the phenomena among those who are perplexed by the popularity of the show and express thier ire at the profusion of pony grafitti. It would seem to be a natural target for impugning the irrational love of pony. In any case I do realize that this is all in good fun, but I can't help but wonder how many cold war sleeper cells are getting thier post hypnotic triggers miss-sprung by all the pony art, music, and video out there

We may be able to thank some brony some day for saving the lives of tens of thousands of people for missfiring one of these enroute....

Pony Script: MLP FIM is hardly the first children's show to act as the gateway introduction to MC concepts. Scooby Doo, Totally Spies, Captain Planet, GI Joe and a host of others have toyed with the trope, but if there is anything to the MKULTRA experiments of the Cold War, then effective conditioning techniques have been with us for a while and are likely quite sophisticated. The MLP FIM Brony comunity might do well to distance itself from these concepts in the shows and fan works lest this become the public face of the brony fandom of the future.

It's been said a thousand times before, but I'll say it once again: This thread is not only buried within the off-topic section of the off-topic section, it has also been created with the blessings of not only the mods, but some of the developers themselves on the one condition that we keep the pony to this thread. We're allowed to post ponies here and any trolls/flamers are dealt with by the mods.

So if you don't like the pony in the corner, don't walk over there and complain to it.

(Also, I'm pretty sure this thread is the largest one on the site, so good luck "killing it with fire")

I kind of feel sad for these people now, since they clearly don't see we are not corrupting this forum. We come here to this thread for the shared community within it, because identifying as brony without something like this thread protecting us is a difficult if not dangerous (as far as the internet gets) proposition. They don't see it as community at all, which means they don't see the common bonds between very uncommon people. This would indicate to me that they have no such bonds that they can rely on; no community that they can come to no matter where they are.

If only all of nerdity had such bonds the world would be a much better place, but sadly nerdity and geekdom if anything rend these bonds, splitting into smaller and smaller factions therein. The focus of/on thought and comprehension splits us by interest, understanding, and dedication to such interest. I can't count the number of times I've been snubbed for watching dubbed anime, or for playing Horde (when I played WoW) or Destruction (when I played WAR) or carrying Kel-tec instead of Glock (yes, there are gun nerds and they can be vicious). The Brony community is the exception to this, which is why we thrive in all elements and communities. No matter the subject of the base, and how virulently we may despise those who differ in opinion for some strange, tape-on-glasses reason we are still brothers and sisters of the hoof.

Hon. Mechwarriors;




Please consider these relevant quotes from a nuclear physicist who studied the Chernobyl disaster first hand and has been studying the FUKUshima crisis.

My effort to prevent a Chernobyl-level disaster in Japan ended in failure, but Japan’s handling of the accident is far worse than the Soviet Union’s reaction to Chernobyl,” he said.
[...]
he conducted field research in Russia in the early 1990s
[...]
The Soviet Union evicted all residents from highly contaminated areas within a 300-kilometer radius, while providing them with housing, employment and welfare measures, Fujita said.
“At the time, I thought it was outrageous,” Fujita said. “But it is far more conscionable than what this country is doing–deceiving people into staying, taking advantage of their attachment to their homeland.”
If Japan takes evacuation measures equivalent in scale to that following the Chernobyl disaster, it will need to relocate several millions of people in this densely populated country, Fujita said.
“It probably means that this country will go bankrupt,” Fujita said.

You are being lied to for money in a world on the cusp of the Dollar losing it's reserve status.





Human nature doesn't respond well to invisible long term threats like smoking, sin, and radiation. This is not a hard issue to research for yourself, and you are likely the only person who will mitigate this disaster in your experience.
