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.

From what I've read, the problem is that adults don't have the time or motivation. For a kid, they need to learn just to communicate and to avoid ridicule from peers, and they don't really have much else to do with their time.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThat's certainly part of it. I mean, I'd certainly love to learn a second language (probably Spanish), but I just don't have the time or resources to dedicate to it. If I had a spare hour or two every day to put toward it it would be great, but as is I can't really justify taking that time away from other stuff, especially when I don't have any real pressing reason to do so beyond "hey, it would be cool to know another language".

Yeah, it's getting into my stuff too.
I can't be bothered to give a shit about this. My Country is america's ally; I know they're spying on me already.

I'd gladly donate a few CPU cycles to a planetwide botnet for NSA bombardment by the greater majority of the Internet.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!What are you talking about?
Also just found a thread
giving an introduction to cognitive linguistics. It's fascinating.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayAmericans, sort out your damn NSA issues please. Your bullshit is leaking through my adblock.
I had to block that banner manually with Adblock. There's still a 1" black bar at the bottom of the screen, though.
They're talking about the ad here
and here.
@ Lum: It showed up for me again as well when I went back to Derpi's main page. All blocking it did was turn it into a solid black bar (no text) that takes up the bottom half of the screen. Guess I'll be avoiding Derpi today.
...Isn't Derpi a UK site? And yeah, even though I agree with the "screw the NSA sentiment", there have got to be less aggravating ways to bring up the subject.
@Lum: I think the reason for it is that Ace linked to Derpi's mirror site. There are both Derpibooru.org and Derpiboo.ru. You'd have to adblock both sites. My guess is you blocked the thing on Derpibooru.org and Ace linked to Derpiboo.ru, which you didn't have blocked.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.I signed the thing anyway.
I mean, they're still asking for my info in order to do it, but um... principle I guess.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI just don't think there's anything the average person can do to stop them.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayMy favorite artist asked for speedpaint requests a few days ago, and she just did mine.
It's awesome.

From what I've read, young people aren't actually better at learning languages, just more motivated.
