… What? Do you seriously believe that makes any sense? “I’m being ironic so it’s okay.“ “I said I was going to murder our nation’s leader but I was being ironic so it’s okay.“ “I yelled bomb in an airport but I was being ironic so it’s okay!“
What you’re describing is shock humor, which gets a few laughs by singling out the struggles of a group and invalidating them to others, who don’t have to care because they never lived it. At best, you’re reinforcing a culture that would rather numb itself than recognize real world atrocities that happen to this day. Which has the unfortunate side effect of making those things not look as bad as they are.
Case in point, you actually thought it was okay to make a joke about rape. Don’t worry, we’ll laugh about that later because comedy is tragedy plus time. And thinking rape is funny is pretty tragic.
2) Thanks. I’m not doing so well right now, so this helps.
3) I kinda sat on this for a while. I have no idea what day this was sent or who it refers to.

Holy crap why didn’t anyone tell me the SilvaGunner channel is back?
There’s… There’s thousands!
Lyra: I just… really didn’t like the episode… Blossomforth: [Gasp] You didn’t like Mr. Greg?!
Lyra: What? No! That was fantastic! Blossomforth: The Shortie Squad?
Lyra: No! Peridot is suddenly psychic, what’s not to love?
Blossomforth: The Lars episode? Lyra: No!
Raindrops: Steven Floats was a little slow paced, I guess… Lyra: No-ho-ho-ho-…
Blossomforth: … The one with Sour Cream’s dad?
Lyra: Yes…
Blossomforth: … What was wrong with it? Seemed pretty formulaic to me.
Lyra: That’s the- [Sigh] … Nevermind…
Raindrops: Lyra, you know how this works. Nopony is going to coax it out of you. You either say something or you don’t.
Lyra: I just… Marty was a jerk, sure, but why couldn’t he have made a real connection with Sour Cream? Why couldn’t the conflict of the episode have been about choosing to favor the parent that raised you or the parent you share interests with? Wouldn’t that have been a more interesting episode?
Blossomforth: Uh… I guess? Raindrops: Maybe?
Lyra: Why can’t a parent disappear and come back… and come back with genuine interest in their child…?
Blossomforth: …Wha-? Raindrops: They can do that Lyra- You’re right. That’s what should have happened.

1) But that’s the whole point! Silly, upbeat- that’s why they’re good icebreakers! These other ones you’ve been sending are just shock humor at best, and downright hateful at worst.
2) Nope, they’re all anon.
3) See! This one is super clever! And it’s a little bit personalized, indicating you probably already know a thing or two about me. But others might hold it too long to measure, if they’re not familiar with the terminology.
4) And then you have this [omitted].
5) I mean… I have no words… I’d probably call for help/security immediately, fearing for my well-being. Why would you ever say that to another person, for any reason, ever?
Finished another awesome year at bronycon today, update post and such coming later. Grey and I were having our last dinner a few minutes ago at Bubba Gumps, and an extended family of about 11 were having issues splitting up the check. I may have accidentally paid their entire check after following their server into the kitchen. Oops. The server was cool and said exactly what I asked, of “some random person in here paid for your check, everything’s covered”. They were definitely not there for the con, so I know they won’t see this and spoil my cover.
Thanks everypony that bought something from me, you helped me have enough to randomly pay for a group’s dinner.
This is the guy that also gave me a couple of patches for free.
Basically the nicest person ever.
1) Woah! Woah! What the [omitted] dude?!
2) You’re basically out of lines then, huh? Probably should have quit while you were ahead.
After a short break, an earth pony mare steps into the ring with a foam battle-axe, and introduces herself as Juniper Berries of Coltswell.
Announcer: “Let’s hear it for our new challenger, Juniper Berries!”
The crowd stomps enthusiastically as the two contestants get into position.
Announcer: “Are you ready? And… fight!”
Before Juniper Berries can so much as react, Gerwalta’s weapon becomes a spiraling blur, and the foam battle-axe is sent flying out of the ring. Instantly disarmed, the pony finds herself at the mercy of the griffon’s foam spear, and eagerly resigns.
Moonflower: “Whoa, cool!”
Announcer: “This is it, ponies! Gerwalta the Gladiator claims her hundredth victory in a row!”
The crowd cheers once more. Gerwalta and Juniper Berries bow to each other, then the mare picks up her weapon, and returns it to the rack.
Minuette: “Over already? I know it’s all in good fun, but that Gerwalta looks a bit too strong for the league. I wonder if anypony can end her streak.”
Doesn’t seem like much of a tournament to me. Just looks like a single individual taking on any untrained challenger. No sign-up, no brackets. Was this event even promoted?
just downloaded this game, I hope I can get Terra!
There’s an event going on until the end of the 17th where if you make an account you get a bunch of free stuff, including 10 random rare character unlocks.
Well, there’s a trick called rerolling that you can do to manipulate your odds on those unlocks, if you have the time. This video explains it better than any of the write ups I read.
I did about 20-30 rerolls trying to get Leo before I settled on Terra, but in between all of that I had pulled every other rare character in the game other than Leo. And some of them multiple times!
