@starlightbolt (oops sorry, objective should be subjective)

@starlightbolt Actually, that's a rather simplistic view of it. As you may have noticed with Ponybis, a lot of people still use weight as a judgment of worth, or as an insult. Even if you close your eyes and pretend that all people can all lose weight if they simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps, the fact remains that people will judge and insult them based on whatever weight they are at the time. It's absolutely not right, and for a lot of people, weight is just as unchangable as race or other genetic features. It would be like mocking someone for being blind - they can't help it, and doing it just makes you look like an as$hole. (Not you, of course, I mean the 'general you.') My question to you: is it ever acceptable to mock people, based on their appearance? Is it okay to be mean to fat people, if you feel their weight is not merited? Do you, as your own objective self, have the right to dictate what is 'right' for other people?

@starlightbolt LOL thank you! I highly recommend reading up on sizeism, I think it'll open your eyes a lot.
-
@starlightbolt I never explicitly stated either of those things, but I apologize for the implications.
-
@starlightbolt I hope that one day you widen your world view. :) Best of luck.
-
@starlightbolt In what regards?
-
@starlightbolt I AM BEING A DICK AND IRRATIONAL! http://ur1.ca/54sou

@starlightbolt LOLLLL Okay, what about disabled people? If they can't move, is it still their fault they're overweight? Did you know that many anti-depressants also have weight gain as a side effect? How about PCOS, Thyroid disorders, depression, birth control? I find it pretty funny (read: sad) that people are so ready to say OMG YOU CAN HELP BEING FAT, JUST USE YOUR WILLPOWER! when in fact, there's so many illnesses/autoimmune diseases that can cause a person to gain weight, or be unable to lose it. :(

@starlightbolt She was involved in building the pony community before G4 even existed. And she was a wonderful auctioneer at BroNYCon June, and did a great job helping me make back some of the many hundreds of dollars I lost on the con (even with admission fees).

@starlightbolt The RP split was the only reason I stayed around. At the time, anyway. I didn't like feeling like the outcast on an RP site.
-
@starlightbolt I REMEMBER WHEN THE #ooc TAG WAS EVERYWHERE (no I don't)
-
@starlightbolt Yes. LETS ALL TALK ABOUT PONIES PEOPLE. THIS ARGUMENT IS SPLITTING US APART. BY THIS TIME TOMORROW, THIS WEBSITE MAY HAVE DISSAPEARED BECAUSE OF THE DISHARMONY. LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

@starlightbolt BACK IN THE DAY *waves cane*
-
@starlightbolt And that is a very sad thing.

@starlightbolt I'd only withdraw the invitation if I thought it was what a majority (or even a significant minority!) of con attendees wanted. So far, the only complainer was Cabal. Cabal has complained of anticipated Anonymous invasions of our events before. He's ... a little paranoid. Mind you, I like Cabal a lot, and I have the deepest respect for what he's done for the community, but he is definitely paranoid.

@starlightbolt Time to go swing.

@starlightbolt pester

@starlightbolt it's just that I'm usually a social person most of the time ....
-
@starlightbolt ever.

@starlightbolt ECE2504. We're doing basic circuits. Simply with Boolean Expressions (show all steps and label each) ~ Wire it up in LogicWorks, truth tables for both unsimplified and simplified. At least that's the case for most of them. Good 10 questions or so. Like I said, it's not hard it just takes forever to detail each one.
-
@starlightbolt Here's the one due tomorrow. Nothing's difficult, it just takes time to write out your steps and then draw them. [Blah, I was going to attach the file]
-
@starlightbolt lol, yeah - ece2504 is loading on the work. Quiz and Homework due tomorrow, Homework due Wednesday, Design Project due... Monday? ~ It's not that it's difficult, it just is time consuming.
-
@starlightbolt I think I'm gonna stay in this evening and get some work done. I'd rather not have anything to do tomorrow night (so I can go to fng and not worry about having too much work after).
-
@starlightbolt Twin is certainly a top contender in Modern, as is Pyro's Swath if I'm not mistaken. ~ Anyways though, that sucks that 3-1 wasn't a sure in - because that just boils down to your pairings :/
-
@starlightbolt It tells me I'm "ISTP". I have no idea what that means, and it's probably wrong anyway since I kinda guessed on most questions. >.>
-
@starlightbolt Damn it, these quizzes are so annoying. I suck at self analysis, so I often have no idea what answer to pick.
