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.

Because it's courteous to respond when people talk to you? I feel like that's important.
This. She's ignored me twice; once when she was cashiering, and once when we passed each other. I'm not giving her a third chance. IMO, ignoring someone is rude.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I don't know, it doesn't sound like a big deal to me. You don't normally go to a grocery store to socialize with the workers.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayIt's not so much about socializing as it is about acknowledging the other persons existence. At least nod or wave or something when someone five feet from you says hi.

Reaction Image RepositoryI have very good news concerning the iTunes version of Rainbow Falls. I just downloaded it and the sound works just fine for me.
I have the SD version, so I don't know if the HD version was fixed but I would hopefully assume that both versions are fine now.
And hopefully it's not just me being lucky to get a version with good audio, either.

I know that sometimes I never notice people greeting me while I'm walking along, minding my own business. They'll let me know that I apparently was ignoring them later on, and I'll just be like "Wait, what? I'm sorry, I honestly never heard/saw you."
But then, when those same people get fairly close to me first and then say hello, I'll generally notice them and respond back. I imagine a cashier would have a difficult time not noticing the person in front of her talking to her, so yeah, she was probably just being rude.
Was it specifically organs? I thought it was just generic jellyfish juice.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayIn Cave Story, you find a treasure chest inside the corpse of a jellyfish that you just killed. Inside the chest is a jar, containing the jellyfish’s internal organs.

Hey, come hang out!In World of Warcraft, there are things called lockboxes, which are Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and can contain a very wide array of different items, including other lockboxes. My personal record is a lockbox inside a lockbox inside a lockbox (the final lockbox contained a staff), but I know other players who claim to have gotten as far as a sixth lockbox.
The phenomenon is, naturally, known as lockception.

@greeting people: I know that this is going to be very controversial of me to say this, and that, yes, I probably am being rude sometimes. But I hate it when strangers greet me, especially if they want to ask me "how are you?" because the most honest answer would be usually "fine until you annoyed me by asking me that question and distracting me from whatever I was doing." Not only do I have Aspergers, but I have the sensory integration problems that are sometimes associated with the autism spectrum, mainly concerning auditory input. Basically, I usually CANNOT tune out other people's conversations. I find it distracting and annoying and especially hate the sound of other people laughing unless it's at something that I also find is funny, and this issue is probably caused by being laughed AT in junior high/high school. The scene where Discord makes Pinkie feel like her friends are laughing at her is a rather difficult scene for me to watch because of that. Thus, I have a very hard time talking to anyone in a noisy place unless there is something else that helps me feel better (like it being the anime convention or being with my dog Luna who helps me with socializing). Thus, I really do not like to talk to people in noisy places unless I have to, because I usually use headphones w/music to drown out the sounds that would otherwise upset me (which I have found is probably a socially acceptable way of communicating that I don't want to be randomly greeted/talked to by strangers). Which is why if I have to respond to a greeting, I do so with a nod rather than a verbal greeting.
Some of it is the "treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself" rule and I suppose that I've taken it too literally but because I don't like being randomly greeted for the sake of saying "Hi" without having something specific to talk about, it's very uncomfortable and unnatural to me to want to go out of my way to greet people myself because I don't want to possibly bother or interrupt them (because I would feel bothered/interrupted if someone did that to me). I understand on an intellectual level that it pleases most people to be greeted in that fashion, but because of the reasons I mentioned, it's often difficult for me to respond in a non-rude way or else I have to consciously remember that other people actually want to be greeted.

So..who's going to see I, Frankenstein?
