Ancre

Civilization is overrated.

Besides, in my country, we will make alcohol out of almost any drinkable liquid !

When I was 16, it was legal for me to drink beer !

That's strange Penumbra !

And we're at page 700 !

I don't know Conor. I'm writing a pony's app ! It's not easy, oddly enough.

I also have to answer almost all of my current rps. And after that I want to start another one with the pony I adopted from Angie :3

Go and dye your hair blue ! I'm counting on you !

You could always try to nudge the admins on the chat. Ask nicely about how much time it takes for a finished app to be reviewed. It works sometimes, and if you're polite you shouldn't annoy them.

It already took a bit of time back in june when there was a lot less people ... and now there's like three pages of pending applications.

They need to hire another application mod mesays

Hello and goodbye Asthmaticpegasus !

And Angie I hope you will do so

Angie, you should wear a light blue skirt, blue-jeans, a blue shirt on top of your skirt, and find yourself blue-white shoes.

As well as tag an apple logo on your jean.

And I hope your eyes are blue !

And then take a picture of yourself smiling and throwing your arms in the air.

You need to look exactly like your avatar.

I don't think I'm very noticeable either ...

I don't make super wonderful drawing like Angie, I don't talk much on the chat, I don't start many thought-provoking threads ...

Maybe we should start an awesome project together xD

I sent him a PM because I wanted to know him better. It's one of the things I learned to do here, if you want to be friends with someone you have to go talk to him.

He made me a blog post I'm happy and it makes me feel a bit shy too.

And no, I don't think it's bad that you're jealous. We all want to be loved

Will you dye your hair neon blue ?

And procrastinating homework is baaaad xD You should not do so !

Sorry, I was on the phone.

My girlfriend's family counts six persons, and they're going to get a fourth car xD

What are you doing Angie ?

Edit : Ah yes ! I knew that, you said so in the picture-of-yourself thread Will you dye your hair neon blue ? xD

He probably tried to read everything from the very start, the poor pony !

And I'm back !

No, they probably don't even know you exist, Fawkes.

I have to go eat dinner ! Laters everypony !

Most arch-villains are evil just because they can !

Besides, he have a picture of Discord !

I'd say he's an arch-villain.

He doesn't like me and he wants to make war with the IRC folks ! Only an arch-villain would have such evil thoughts !

Fawkes is like a cat in a box (or like Pinkie) he can be present and absent at the same time !

Oooh, superpowers.

Hello everypony !

Helloooooo Angiiiiiiiiiie !

I'll send you a mail reply soon, my penpal friend !

Hello everypony !

The world is marvelous, and even outside of science there's a lot of magic !

For example, and this is what fascinate me the most, there is language. Words are amazing. With a limited amount of sounds and a bit of organization, we invented a way to name and to describe the world around us. Out of nothing : there's no reason the sound "door" means door, there is no link between the word and the thing, no link other than the fact that "door" means door in the english language, and it's true for every single word in our vocabulary. We invented words for things that don't exist, too (like "unicorn"), we named concepts and ideas, we have words that describe actions and movements, words whose sole purpose is to provide a grammatical information - we have grammar ! With grammar, even more than pointing and naming, we can organize and describe even more things : with verbs and time, we can say things that were, that will be, or that might be, or that might have been. We can conjecturate. We can also say things that are not, we can lie, we can make metaphors, we can invent !

We can create whole worlds out of nothing. We can invent stories ! Litterature is amazing. One person can evocate something completely irreal, and everybody can imagine it. People can role roleplay, and invent together the life of magical pastel-coloured ponies in the invented magical world of equestria. Things that do not exist in reality can exist in our heads.

We invented writing systems ! The alphabet ! Which, again, have no link with what it describes. There is no reason the letter "a" means the sound "a" other than the fact that we decided it does. There is no reason the letters "door" means the sound "door" which means the thing "door" ! I find that fascinating.

And we have poetry ! With all these words and sounds, we can play, we can use the arbitrary sounds they have to make rhymes, we can make verses with identical "times" or "length" or "size" for every one of them, we create additional rules to create aesthetically pleasing sounds and rhythms, and then with those newly-invented rythms and organizations of sounds we add hidden meanings to the poem.

Language is fascinating. It can evoke, it can enchant, it can create, it's magic !

We had a thread about jobs, way back then, during the prehistoric era three or four pages ago.

I wish I was as good with people as you EoL. It would have helped me so much !

As for me, I'm a pastry chef, I make all kind of food, like éclairs, or croissants. It's a fun job but a tough one.

Hiiii !

Welcome Scootaloo !

Hiiii !
