I find it odd how in the early seasons of Family Guy Brian made a lot of religious references but in the newer seasons he's an atheist
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:05:13 UTC from web-
@pegasusninja It's because Seth MacFarlane is an atheist, and Brian became sort of a writer's surrogate. That is, the character that all the writers use to project their own opinions about politics and religion and other subject matter covered by the show.

@mrmattimation Every time I try to download that image you made of me it appears as a black screen

@pegasusninja Aw, mangoes, I think that might be the alpha transparency. Hang on, that's an easy fix.

@mrmattimation I like how you gave me a mullet

@pegasusninja That's not a mullet even

@flamingpandaomg Well I don't know s*** about hair styles which is the reason why my hair is so messy, I just don't care how it looks

@mrmattimation Are you going to finish this later or no, I'm fine if you don't but I'd much appreciate
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:18:18 UTC from web-
@pegasusninja You're really insistent on instant gratification when people do things for you out of their own generosity.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:19:04 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Hold up, I need to read that ten more times til I can fully understand what you said
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:21:15 UTC from web-
@pegasusninja You demand so much even though the people who are doing things for you aren't asking for any compensation. Between @beatstrings, @mushi and now @mrmattimation, you want everything to be done for you instantly or with little wait. You're too impatient. You say you're fine with waiting but if anyone is working on anything for you, you hound them consistently for it.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:22:56 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg *sigh* I know that, but every time I feel like they're going to forget, but I do wait 5-8 days before I ask now, and then it takes a long time so then it looks like I'm hounding them, so I can see where you're going with that but I'm trying to fix it
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:28:08 UTC from web-
@pegasusninja Just don't remind them so much. Most of the people here have lives that they have to tend to first, and art that they're doing for free isn't anywhere close to the top of their list of priorities. It happens when it happens.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:29:11 UTC from web -
@pegasusninja My personal approach is don't expect internet friends to come through for you, and when they do thank them abundantly.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:36:15 UTC from web-
@tia But what if Internet friends are all you have?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:38:19 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Get better friends. :) Luckily RDN friends are better than most internet friends. Still.. get better ones.

@tia What would it even do
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:46:21 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Read it and find out. It's fairly short and free to download or read online. If it doesn't help then no loss I think. If you want it to help then take everything it says as truth even if you don't want to up until you've finished it. Try not to fight it along the way, though it can be a little incredible at parts.

My only criticism of the book is that it leaves out Christ's role as savior.Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:51:44 UTC from web-
@tia Please tell me this book doesn't tell me to put all my faith in The Lord and He will show me the way.

@rarity I get the impression that you think almost anything conservative that I say is "shoving my faith down everyone's throat." Stop shoving your anti-faith down my throat please.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:14:28 UTC from web-
@tia I'm not "anti-faith". You can believe whatever the hell you want. Just keep it to yourself for mangoes sakes

@redenchilada Thank you.

@redenchilada what is there to break up, Red? I'm being civil.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:19:01 UTC from web -
@redenchilada well, Red?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:23:18 UTC from web-
@rarity You're harassing Pony for every little mention of religion he makes and I'd like that to stop.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:26:53 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I'd like him to stop as well. Is my opinion less valid?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:27:56 UTC from web-
@rarity He's allowed to talk about his religion on here. You, on the other hand, aren't allowed to start arguments with him over his opinions. Those same rules are what allow you to discuss your religion (or lack thereof) on here, and what disallow him to bash you for those statements.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:31:10 UTC from web-
@redenchilada He needs to realize that no one cares about his faith-based opinions
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:32:26 UTC from web-
@rarity If he's not offending or harassing the people he talks about them to, there's no harm in him talking about them.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:35:24 UTC from web-
@redenchilada He's offending me.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:36:03 UTC from web-
@rarity You addressed him first.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:36:36 UTC from web-
@redenchilada and this is a public site, is it not?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:37:18 UTC from web-
@rarity If he's sharing his views with other people and you respond to his posts complaining about how offended you are, you can't complain about being offended later. If his posts are really that triggering to you, there's a user hiding function in your settings and you can block him.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:39:30 UTC from web-
@redenchilada how many times do I have to say that the user hidden function doesn't work before you appless stop telling me to use it
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:40:51 UTC from web-
@rarity It hides the post just fine. You don't see the content.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:41:52 UTC from web-
@redenchilada no, it doesn't. It's a click away, and you know that person posted. Why can't you make it so that it actually REMOVES the post? Is that too hard to do?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:43:11 UTC from web-
@rarity You could just not click it. I haven't changed the behavior yet because I don't care about the feature enough to mess with it.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:44:42 UTC from web-
@redenchilada As somebody who actually also believes that the hide user function doesn't do its job properly, I was just a little curious as to whether or not it would be easy to make the function actually hide the post without giving you a dialogue saying that the post is hidden?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:48:01 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation If the stubs bug you, a userstyle with
.hideUserT, .hideSpoilerT {display: none !important}
will hide them just fine.Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:50:55 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I'm actually laughing that I tagged that with the group without meaning to
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:51:44 UTC from web -

@redenchilada he posts on a PUBLIC timeline about his views and then is surprised when someone doesn't like it. If he needs to spread his faith so badly, he can do it via DMs.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:41:31 UTC from web-
@rarity Someone not liking what someone else posts does not mean they can't post it.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:42:53 UTC from web-
@redenchilada did it occur to you that I'm not the only person who's sick of him espousing the joys of Mormonism all over? that maybe I'm just the only person who's spoken up because that's the kind of person I am?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:45:41 UTC from web-
@rarity Tell you what. I'll stop him from posting about his religion, and in return, you can't post about anthro sharks or fursuits. Sound reasonable?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:48:10 UTC from web-
@redenchilada sure!
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:48:53 UTC from web-
@rarity You're gonna be whining next time you post a picture of a fursuit and I delete the post
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:51:22 UTC from web-
@redenchilada it'll be worth it when you delete his posts. Uphold your end of the bargain and I'll hold mine, Red
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:52:33 UTC from web-
@rarity You know I wasn't being serious, right
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:54:16 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I called your bluff.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:55:18 UTC from web-
@rarity My point is that both sides were completely ridiculous artificial limitations. I wasn't "bluffing" anything.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:56:46 UTC from web-
@redenchilada if my shark girl talk upsets a lot of people, it's absolutely right to tell me to stop. I have no idea if it does, but I DO know that Pony's evangelism is cherriesing overdone and he needs to tone it back.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:58:35 UTC from web-
@rarity Too bad. You don't get to make that call.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 05:59:49 UTC from web-
@redenchilada and who says you do? You're no more qualified than me.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:00:34 UTC from web-
@rarity I'm a moderator. I have a responsibility to make those calls.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:01:38 UTC from web-
@redenchilada having the power=/=qualified. Just because you HAVE to make those calls doesn't mean you should.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:02:54 UTC from web-
@rarity If staff isn't qualified to make the calls, then who is? Your logic is flawed.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:04:15 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I am, and EVERYONE IS WRONG.

@redenchilada you assume that becoming staff somehow bestows you with the knowledge needed to make decisions of importance
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:05:25 UTC from web-
@rarity No, I assume that if I make bad decisions I'll be kicked off of staff. Or at least reprimanded.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:08:58 UTC from web-
@redenchilada But how does that make you any better at making decisions, then?
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:10:05 UTC from web-
@rarity My still being on staff means that a higher-up believes I'm qualified to make those calls.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:11:45 UTC from web-
@redenchilada things change
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:13:48 UTC from web-
@rarity You wanna petition to get me off of staff? I won't stop you. Get some people who agree with you to bug Cerulean about it or something.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 06:15:11 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I'm not doing it again. I've promised people I wouldn't. that in no way changes my opinion though.

@mrmattimation It's fitting in light of that that Brian always takes himself so seriously. Hopefully Seth is more self aware
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:27:30 UTC from web-
@tia I think it's a mix. He was certainly meant to look like a pretentious ass, but he's also meant to be the liberal voice of reason. Brian Griffin is an exaggerated caricature of Seth, basically.

@snowcone Either develop an interest in cow tipping or move I guess. Basically find people you share common interests with (obviously ponies may not be among those shared interests). Look for anime or gamer groups or local artists. Whatever your passion is.
Monday, 20-Jan-14 04:44:25 UTC from web -
@snowcone Last resort, serve them. If you can't make friends through service then you're not serving hard enough.

@snowcone You get the gist though I hope. There's always something you can do if you just put yourself in the right place at the right time. No need to go too far out of your way usually I think.
