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.

Quick question for those of you on windows. What program do you use for playing videos? Because VLC is bugging out on me, again.

Also true with one exception: Cogito ergo sum. I think, therefore I am. This was first made public by Descartes.
Yes.
A hypothetical person without faith wouldn't be able to male that connection.
Which is why faithlessness is irrational. A faithless person would be incapable of distinguishing between baseless and not baseless.
Nope.
A faithless person would be unable to get out of the path of a moving car because they wouldn't be able to tell if it was an illusion designed to trick them into running into the path of an actual, invisible car. They wouldn't even be able to tell which situation was more likely.
A faithless person cannot use Occam's Razor as they are completely incapable of determining likelihood at all.
There are no such people. Such a person would never survive.
If you say that that makes it too broad, well, how about the definition of "breathing"?
It being broad doesn't make it not true.
This is why The Bible says that each person has a small measure of faith. There is no such thing as a person with none. A person without faith would be too irrational to survive.
It's more philosophy than math, or the intersection of the two, I guess.
I've been wondering about that myself. It probably won't involve actual magic as the element though.
It's made of apples. Well mostly apples.

I'm going to answer broadly because debunking each and every point would involve a lot of copypasting.
What you are saying is utterly meaningless. Bruggencate level of meaningless. You are putting everything on the exact same level of meaningless, asserting that absolutely everything requies faith.
No, there aren't invisible cars. And I base it not on belief, but disbelief, which is exact opposite of faith.
Some things can be conclusively proven, some can't. What can though is the laws of logic. Do the laws of logic require faith? How? Because of a baseless assumption of an off-hand chance you made up? I do not believe in that chance. I lack faith in it.
This is how a skeptical mind operates. You say "there are apples with wings out there". I ask you to show those apples. You say "they are invisible". Then I ask how do you know they have wings. You say "I sometimes spot feathers near trees". I say those fell off birds.
Then you say because I haven't witnessed all the birds in the world dropping feathers on every single apple tree means there is a possibility you're right.
But until you actually are right and that invisible flying apple brings some kind of other evidence behind itself, it means nothing.
Lack of faith doesn't equal faith. Some claims are more provable than others, some are downright unprovable or undisprovable, but if something is unprovable/undisprovable doesn't automatically mean it's automatically true or false.
Your crackpotness about everything requiring faith because of some remote cosmic possibility everything we know is wrong is undisprovable, because conclusively disproving it would require omniscense(with mountains of holes omniscence itself has, like "what if there is something you don't know that you don't know" et cetera).
But until you DO have a way to prove it, it means just as much as winged apples.
This is Occam's Razor. Lack of faith. Something isn't, until it is. Calling it faith is is like calling + a -, it renders the word itself pointless.
Bottom line, you cannot prove your argument, and I cannot disprove your argument. But if we all just assume it's true, then what stops us from believing in winged apples? What separates faith from knowledge? In your argument, nothing. Your argument means nothing.
You are not asking profound or philosophical questions here. You are talking about winged apples, which in a skeptical scientific world are entirely useless. Science makes jetpacks, what do winged apples do? Fly, I guess. Poorly.
Conclusion: jetpacks are better than winged apples.
Could you tone down the language please, or preferably drop the subject altogether? I'm afraid something bad will happen.

Does asking to drop the subject ever work? I'm not sure, because right after that the other person makes an argument, then I make an argument to counteract that argument because I can't just let it slide.
Ok, I guess it's me, but still. I'm not convinced Sereg will drop the subject without making a counterargument(you might say I lack faith in such a scenario), and I'm dead on sure I won't.
You just have to resist the temptation. I could have responded to Sereg but decided not to.
It is a pretty funny picture.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI wonder if there's been any fanart with the main characters as Monster Hunters.
I have a message from another time...Guess it's a good time to bring up something unrelated. When I rewatched Cider Squeezy today in preparation, I noticed that they said cent, so I guess it's confirmed that bits are divided into 100 like dollars. At least the currency system makes a bit more sense than assuming bit was the least unit.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHow does that make any sense?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI think this is as good a time as any, and better than some, for a pic dump.
