R: 23 / I: 13Mingle W/ Coffee - Spring anew edition
It's honestly surprising what will cause someone to take a second look at themselves and decide to make changes.
The thought came to mind as the days began to warm up and so many things began to change. It'd been interesting to see how many are moving on to new or improved, and after a few weeks too I've been feeling a desire to do the same.
So I would like to challenge you all to go out and do the thing. Whether looking for a new job, trying a new hobby, working on a personal goal, or maybe just eating that sandwich you've always been curious about but always go back to your classic turkey.
Then come back here and enjoy a nice warm drink and talk about anything and everything on your mind. -
R: 40 / I: 31Geek Out Thread!

well here's your chance! tell me something that you are excited about! Tell me something you geek out about! if you are looking for permission, well here it is!
just be mindful of the sites rules, but other than that it's all good!
whether or not somebody responds, it will feel great to air it out for the world to see <3 -

"""
In the heart of Finland, nestled between thick pines and crystal-clear lakes, lived a dog named Wan Wan. He was a sprightly Corgi with an unmatched zest for life. Every morning, Wan Wan would delve through the village, his bark echoing joyfully off the wooden cottages.
One crisp autumn day, while wandering through the woods, Wan Wan stumbled upon a small, family-run farm. It wasn't people he found interesting, but the sumptuous smell of fried chicken that filled the air. The farm was owned by the Virtanen family, who were known for their traditional Finnish cooking methods. Unlike other places, they used beef tallow instead of seed oil to fry their chicken. Mrs. Virtanen had read that seed oil is an abominably unhealthy choice for frying, and she preferred the rich, unaltered taste of tallow.
As Wan Wan approached, his nose twitched in delight. The Virtanens, spotting the friendly Corgi, offered him a small bite of the crispy chicken skin, knowing well the dangers of feeding him fried foods too often. He accepted the treat with a polite bark and wagged his tail in appreciation.
Inspired by the Virtanens and the purity of their food preparation, Wan Wan became somewhat of an ambassador for healthy living. He took it upon himself to spread joy and a bit of culinary wisdom. Whenever he heard someone frying with seed oil, he would appear with a gentle bark, almost as if suggesting, "Maybe try beef tallow?"
Wan Wan's reputation grew, and he soon became a beloved figure not just in Finland, but among all who visited. Tourists would come to the Virtanen farm asking to meet the wise Corgi who preferred his chicken fried in tallow.
And so, through a blend of wagging tails, barks, and the alluring aroma of chicken, Wan Wan taught many about the simple joys of food made with care and tradition, steering them away from the less wholesome alternatives. It was a lesson wrapped in love and the savory delights of a well-cooked meal, shared from the heart of Finland to the far reaches of the world.

R: 14 / I: 12Getting paid to do nothing
Here's a question:
The story goes that Asian companies sometimes hire Western people just for the prestige of having them.
Suppose you land a position at such an Asian company.
You get a very nice paycheck, you have to come into the office in the morning at 8 and have to leave in the evening at 7.
You have to dress up nice enough. But you don't get any real assignment, besides staying in your own office, where you can play video games or do whatever you want on your office computer (as long as it doesn't make you look too unprofessional). You have no real obligations at all. Perhaps they'll ask you to read through an English document once in a blue moon.
Would you be willing to work such a job? -

Well it appears the winter has finally passed, and with that the days are becoming warmer and it feels like life is already much busier than before.
It might be the ending of winter, the warmth of spring, or the familiar songs I heard when showering but somehow it feels the days are more nostalgic and familiar to me. Both the good times, as well as the trials.
With all that going on I have to remind myself as well as I remind others to take time to relax, have a nice warm drink, and feel at ease to talk about what's on your minds. So I welcome you all once again to join in and consider this a welcoming space for all -

R: 38 / I: 28Welcome to Our New Friends
With the closure of Ponychan, we have been very privileged to see the arrival of many friends, both old and new.
I hope that our community here at Ponyville will greet our new friends with open, and loving hearts.
If you are a new poster, please do take a look at our rules, located on the home page! The rules are generally pretty lenient, and reports are handled with both a gentle hoof and on a case by case basis.
For the time being, we'll be more lenient with regards to the rules as well, as everyone settles in.
Please also take a look at our options on the top left! If you're more familiar with Ponychan's thumbnails, for example, the miniaturize option might be to your liking!
We have some great themes to try, and a series of delightful ponymotes, too!
If you have any questions, or would like to introduce yourself, please feel free to use this thread too! We are so happy to have you join our humble home. -
R: 2 / I: 0Reminder: Politics are only permissible on /townhall/
It's been pointed out that the rules on the home page do not make it clear, but political discussions or topics or even suggestions are not allowed on /pony/. We will try to address the rules shortly to be explicit, it takes a bit more technical effort than you'd imagine to edit the main page!
The upcoming election is going to be a very emotionally charged time for many users of this site. Ponyville attempts to cater to everyone across the political spectrum but as we all know that's an extraordinarily difficult position to take.
Many people use this site as a safe haven from the stress of politics, and it's become natural for many users to defend their home from politics creeping into it. Please report incidents and the staff will deal with it. Also, please do not engage with political content, it makes things harder for us to fix and clean up!
Thanks for your understanding. I'll leave the thread open for questions or clarifications.
Pic unrelated, I don't know what an appropriate image is for this so you get to see my bunny. -

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well this (insert time of day for you), and that the vibes are good!
It's been a while since i've done a Kaizen thread, so what better time than the present?
Kaizen is something that is mostly popular in the business world, but i was introduced to it as a way of forming healthy habits! Even a small thing like 1 minute of work towards something a day builds the habit of doing that thing stronger and better in time! it's less focused on goals and more focused on setting up the individual to attain the goals, if that makes sense!
So i'm curious!
What are your "Kaizen"s?
What are you working on?
Is there something getting in the way? and if so, what are you doing to get around it?
and i'm really curious as to if you have any personal mantra or mindset you attain before you start that works for you?

R: 1 / I: 0Pyrrolysine
Pyrrolysine is an amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins in some methanogenic archaea and bacteria; it is not present in humans.
Pyrrolysine was discovered in 2002 at the active site of methyltransferase enzyme from a methane-producing archeon, Methanosarcina barkeri. This amino acid is encoded by UAG (normally a stop codon), and its synthesis and incorporation into protein is mediated via the biological machinery encoded by the pylTSBCD cluster of genes.
Unlike posttranslational modifications of lysine such as hydroxylysine, methyllysine, and hypusine, pyrrolysine is incorporated during translation (protein synthesis) as directed by the genetic code, just like the standard amino acids.

I love the Tomb Raider series and Tomb Raider 2 is my favorite. However has anyone just stopped to think that plot just makes no sense?
I mean the Tomb Raider series has never made any sense but let me try and sum up the plot of Tomb Raider 2
So like a thousand years ago the Chinese were at war with a bunch of Tibetan monks
And in order to win the Chinese pull out their secret weapon which is a magical dagger which can.. Turn people into dragons? And so they use this to turn their leader into a giant dragon which kills all the tibetan monks and wins the war for them
Fast forward to modern day (well the 90s) and it turns out that the Itallian Mafia (???) have found out about this dagger and want to find a way to track it down so they can.. Turn their mafia leader into a dragon?
How exactly is turning into a dragon going to help out the Itallian mafia?
But don't worry beacause Lara Croft has heard about this and wants to track down the dagger beacause it would look good hanging above her fireplace or something -

they are a series of questions that you ask your date or partner to become more vulnerable and build bonds with them, and then fall in love! How Romantic <3

Nothing says love like asking a deep personal question that exposes vulnerability right off the bat!
(now the partner in question could be anyone, it doesn't have to be me [unless you wanna ;3], so i'll leave that one open to you to adress!)
so the rules are simple!
roll a 1d36 die, and whatever question/prompt you land on, answer or do that thing! it's super easy!
(to roll a 1d36, type <1d36> but replace the <> with [] )
okay! let's start rollin!

R: 7 / I: 4Dune
So the movie is finally finished.
I have now seen it. I enjoyed it greatly. I have nits I could pick for sure, but as an adaptation I am very pleased. It did an admirable job attempting to depict the themes Frank Herbert was going for in my opinion.
Anyway, I didn't see a thread for it yet so I'm making it. Discuss away if you care at all about the movie or books. -

Hey /pony/! i want to play Smash or Pass!

NOTE:
-If I don't recognize a character, I will take them at face value
-I will assume all characters presented are 18+ in this magical scenario. If you tell me after the fact that they are younger, then they get aged up in my mind cause it's fiction, i do whatever i want

Any of y'all like avant-garde art?
Like I recently got a hold of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica on vinyl (video related) as part of my quest for classic experimental rock and I never bothered listening to it before now and I love it, it's so fucking weird and goofy and ramshackle and challenging.
Any of y'all have any avant-garde art that you are particularly fond of? -

The finale of Djesse finally came out yesterday, and I can't stop listening to it.

Please, I need someone who understands how crazy these songs are. -
R: 5 / I: 1More Personal Space Related Chatting
Suppose for the sake of a thought experiment that you suddenly come into some dramatic stroke of luck, being able to make the place that you live (or somewhere else of your choosing) as weirdly personalized as possible with extra bits and pieces (letting your imagination run wild) appearing all over you!
Would you pick something impressive yet eccentric? Maybe? Maybe not? What's your ideal living space?
I'll start by sharing this immense fake alligator statue thing (yes, indeed, this is a real photo showing how the dude who owned it poised it in order to psyche out people visiting) that I kind of would like to have myself someday:

What positive qualities of either China's leader or Russia's leader do you have that you'd like to praise here (if there's none, of course, please say so and why you think that)? -

I started reading One Piece a month ago, I got to chapter 450 in about 2 weeks and I've been taking a break since then.
One Piece fans in the audience, who are your favorite characters?
One of my favorites is Buggy the Clown. I've never seen someone fail upwards so much since Ryan Kavanaugh (or Elon Musk).
Of the Strawhat crew, if we remove Luffy from the equation, Sanji is probably my favorite, followed by Nami.
My favorite relationship between two characters is definitely Luffy and Zoro. I really love how they both trust each others abilities so much that when one hears that the other is dealing with a situation, they consider it already successfully dealt with. -

Well, guiz. It happened. Shoan from Zen Mountain Monastery (https://zmm.org/) just received Dharma Transmission. It was like watching Princess Twilight Sparkle get wings again in a horse cartoon alone looking at my computer screen, except this time in a projection of real life alone looking at my computer screen - "entertainment Zen," as Hogen Sensei described it as once. Has anyone else here achieved perfect, complete enlightenment, thus transcending the cycle of rebirth recently? -

I've gotten advertisements on YouTube more than once now about buying and then openly carrying firearms when you're:
A) Completely naked.
B) In nothing but a bathing suit.
>my face when thinking this though
Is this actually a social thing now among people under the age of thirty in America, like going to a shooting range in the nude, or are am I just encountering a bit of weird 2020s era internet gibberish like those talking toilets that nobody should take seriously?
Also, in the overall spirit, maybe we can have a firearms chat about weapons that we find interesting for whatever reason? -

R: 6 / I: 4Clothing Chat
I just learned today, if I'm interpreting things right, that American women (and, I suppose, transfemme types who're nonbinary or otherwise) are more and more using a kind of "plush cellphone bed" that gets hooked onto your belt by your waist and looks like a mini-backpack.
Also, in terms of this advertisement specifically, the little thing looks cute as hell (with her entire outfit being cute too):

R: 67 / I: 52Kaizen Thread! Mid Winter check in!
I finally FINALLY finished the rough draft of my next feature length script after like 9-10 months of working on it! i'm so fucking happy and relieved >< it's not ready for public eyes yet, i still need to revise it and that's gonna be it's own ordeal
but it did remind me that I haven't done one of these Kaizen Threads in a long long time! So now i want to check in with everyone and see what kaizen's are they working on!
Kaizen, or "continuous improvement", is most well known nowadays as a system for improving business proficiency. However, I was introduced to it as a means of improving ones own healthy habits and achieving goals by shifting the focus from "making something perfect" to "putting time into something continously over time"
you can get better at doing a thing by putting a little time in each day, even if it's just a minute at a time, and i've seen it work in my own life drastically!
so what are your Kaizens right now? What are you working on?
What habits are you trying to make? What are you trying to break?
How have they been coming along? What can you do to improve?
Share me what is making a better you? -

R: 63 / I: 46Mingle w/ Coffee - Valentine edition
Nearing the end of the winter season we start to encroach on a holiday that is becoming more known worldwide. Of course it's the holiday of love, Valentine's day.
I want to put out there that the holiday is for more than just lovers. It's for friends, for family, and for ourselves. It can be a good reminder to remember the people and places and things we truly appreciate, and also to give a good dose of love to ourselves as well.
So join me in a warm cup of whatever drink gives you the most love, and talk about anything and all on our minds. -

"""
Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms, and damaging a telephone company microwave link. The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian islands.

The "Love Languages" are bullshit.
I saw another health teacher teaching them to a class around the time of sex ed to show 'different ways to express your love'
But they're total bullshit and it made me mad so I wrote a big thing about it and will talk about it on Valentine's Day.
