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.

I am but I don't really care. Also, apparently China has singles day in November for some reason.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayLike I barely remembered my b-day a couple of weeks ago, I'll barely remember Valentine's day.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qI have a significant other, sorta, but he lives in Texas to my Quebec, so for all intents and purposes I'm single I guess?

Oh, neat. Yeah, I moved here a couple of years ago. From Manitoba originally.
@Star A part of me feels that...another part of me just fills it with booze.
@Keg Oh awesome!
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615q@Star Yeah, sometimes people over do it and it makes me cringe.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qBlame Chaucer, and later Victorian England. It was thanks to them that Valentine's Day was associated with romance at all. Until then, it was just a feast day commemorating the day Saint Valentine (supposedly) was martyred.
And from what I can tell, while St. Valentine is associated with love and romance, he's more specifically the patron saint of affianced couples. So by all rights the only ones allowed to get mushy on Valentine's Day are those about to get married.
@CDRW: February 14.
And yeah, history is cool when taught properly. It's just stories that really happened, after all.
Reaction Image RepositoryPretty much. And even then it's still interesting as all hell, imagining people living in those times. What's fascinating is that the past is gone, it's something that once existing in a fleeting moment, and is no more. All we are left with are the artifacts and records of bygone civilizations, entire cultures and tongues vanishing into the void of time. And woe where'd that come from?
Yeah, the worst way to teach history is to just list a bunch of things that happen and have to be memorized, mainly because it defeats the purpose of learning it to begin with. The whole reason to learn history is to figure out how each historical situation develops into the next one and figure out why things happen the way they did. Learning a list of disconnected events doesn't do that at all.

i'm still single, but there's still a few weeks to Valentine's. anything could happen.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
