A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

     Original OP text 
I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@Thunderlane Right, just thought I'd check. That restaurant nothing too fancy?

@ Storyyeller: I do have my phone, but I've resisted google's efforts to get my personal information at every turn. I was really pissed off when they did the whole linking of google+ to youtube and they got my real name out of me then. But it's just not worth it anymore.

@ Thunderlane: That's awesome! I take it you're going to ask her out again?

@Thunders: Ha! You think that was bad? Aqua and I went to a similar French restaurant. I butchered the language so bad I ended up saying, well, questionable things, to put it mildly. The waitress would not stop laughing.

Screw it. Google can have my phone number.

If they're asking for security, they already had it. Otherwise it would be rather pointless.

I was really pissed off when they did the whole linking of google+ to youtube and they got my real name out of me then.

Same here. But I'm confused about you not being able to log in. If they're asking just to collect the information, then it's always optional. You just have to click cancel or x or not now or whatever.

I have never given them my phone number until now, and yeah, it doesn't make any sense from a security standpoint. I'm pretty sure they set up the system this way to force information out of the holdouts. The only way around it is to input information about your usage of google services that no right-minded person keeps track of, like the month and year you signed up and what other google services you use. "None" isn't one of the available choices either, which means that there is no way I could get access without giving my number.

The location thing sort of makes sense. If you assume that people never travel outside of their home city in 2013.

Wait, did you have only a Youtube account and just get forced to create a Google account? Apparently you know need a phone number to create a Google account and people with legacy accounts are being forced to create an associated Google account, so that might be it.

@Starscream: Mostly our family's antics during Hearth's Warming, like how Rumble woke up in the middle of the night to open his presents early and I had to pull him off.

@Thunderlane Well certainly a lot better than my sister saying to my ol' man that she will wake up early just to open her presents only when she DOES wake up she CALLS the family "stupid" because we are "not "celebrating" all because they are busy in the kitchen preparing for the meal.

Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. I was forced to make a google+ account a while ago just to access my youtube stuff, and they just now forced me to give them my phone number to keep it. Sure, I could have just waited until I got home and then go back to business as usual for a while, but then what happens when I have to move?

@Ike: Chess is less about intelligence and more about knowing common positions and how to respond to them. 95% of non-casual chess play is metagame; if you don't actively study for it or have a savant-level skill to start with, you're going to have a rough time.

As for the google thing, I've dodged the real name bullet for now (I entered a nickname as my name, and my last initial instead of my full last name; I do have an account with my full name but I only use it for work), and the #1 entry on this article sums up what happened pretty well.

Google+ sucks, end of story.

Definitely. It's a shame they're pushing it so hard for everything. I can understand why they're doing it, but it's still disapointing. I don't even know anyone who actually uses it apart from Google employees.

I was a bit skilled in chess, used to play a lot of that in school but I wouldn't call myself a grand champion at the game.

I dodged the real name as well, no way they're getting that out of me.

My real name is too awesome for anyone to know.

I have a G+ account, but I only ever use it to catch Ace's hangouts during drought season.

You guys exchange gifts on Hearth's Warming? I wasn't sure of all the traditions of the holiday.

I only have a Google plus account so I can fave videos on youtube. That's all I do with it, so it honestly doesn't bug me that much.
