Curriculums are weird to think about. What's common knowledge to one generation in one country might be obscure knowledge among other generations or in other countries.

We had to study the history of medicine and surgery in high school along with Hitler's rise to power. But I can't see an American history curriculum being like that. America is a young country that frankly comes across as less stuffy than the UK does, so I can't imagine American teens being taught about Hippocrates and Galen.

I'm playing Oregon Trail 5 today. Challenge mode. I'm playing a pastor, starting with $600 cash to purchase all of my starting supplies. I just left Independence as I started the stream. Come watch me travel the Trail back in 1848

I don't know how it is in the older versions, but in OT5, you basically just need a balanced diet, warm clothes, and soap.

I should probably wait until the 1st of January 2025 to start an official thread that lists everybody's fitness related hopes, dreams, and goals... but I want to do it now, I guess, just for fun!

Speaking of which... well... I hope that it was a good idea for me to join this!

If this was my challenge, I'd be stumped.
I have never been ice-skating before, let alone know any ice rinks in my area.

And even if January is colder than December in Mid-Wales, I have never seen a frozen lake in real life let alone people skating on one.

I think if you've got some hopes, dreams, goals, or whatever that're explicitly about exact numbers (like "I'm going to walk 3,000 steps or more over the course of these two days"), then naturally you're going to feel the urge to set these up based on specific dates. Since you're just adding math to more math in your mental project based on math (like "I'm going to ___ from January 1st to 31st").

If you're just doing whatever, whenever, then do whatever the hell you want, I suppose!

The last weekend of 2024 is coming up.

So let's review this year personally:
What noticeable things have you occupied yourself with this year?

Any new video game that has captured your attention this year?
Any new video series caught on streaming or on live TV?
Any bands / albums that you have discovered or rediscovered?
Any new hobbies picked up? Or old hobbies that you've worked on?

Any projects done in your private time?
Or any event that marked parts of this year for you?

This is maybe a comparably more minor thing, but, still, I'm very glad that this year I've donated a lot of clothing that I didn't feel that I should keep while I also picked up some great new things to wear that I needed.

I think I’m beginning to understand the concept of visiting someone for no other purpose than having a casual chat with them. 

Perhaps it may seem strange to you that someone would struggle with this concept, and if that’s true, then I envy you just a bit. To me, talking for the sake of talking has always been strange, and I often find myself bored, frustrated, or otherwise stressed, any time I’m at someone’s house and we’re not actively doing something other than talking.

I understand casual chatter when passing someone in the hall at school, or when using the break room at the same time;  or perhaps just when you work at the next desk over and your work doesn’t strictly involve language, so chatting is easy. That makes sense, because the conversation is facilitated by a sort of carrier activity.

But when I’ve gone to the trouble of driving to someone’s house, or if I’ve invited them over, and we’re not playing a game, or watching videos, or enjoying some new wine they just bought? It always strikes me as odd, which is further confounded by the way I find television distracting, but other people seem to need it to enjoy themselves. Perhaps they are experiencing the same phenomenon from a different angle.

I suspect it is largely in part to the secluded, very rural nature of my childhood home. IWe lived very far from most of our relatives, and since my parents were often too busy to drive me places, visiting friends was always at least a 20 minute bike ride away. If I was going to visit anyone, it was to try out a new video game, or to watch a movie, or for a birthday party. There was always an activity that allowed for conversation.

When my relatives visited, it was always accompanied by a card game like Rumme or Cannasta at the very least, if not a more involved and colorful system like Monopoly, Catan, and others like that. Maybe there were a few times my uncles would visit on their way through to a different destination, but they always chatted with my parents while I played a game or read a book.

Now that I’m an adult, and most of my relatives see me that way as well, I’m beginning to notice more and more an expectation that visiting someone for a chat is just a normal thing, and it’s taken me a while, but I think I’m starting to get it. We live so near to each other. I can’t think of a single person on my wife’s side who lives more than 20 minutes from where I am now; considering the fact tPost too long.

I've been feeling similarly but with this website specifically. I have my close-knit group of friends on discord who I talk to quite often, but lately I've been so busy, that when I get the time to come back here and talk to old faces, it feels like a family reunion.

It was more popular than Google itself on the year 2000-2001. Most people tend to forget just how HUGE it used to be.
It still has niche interest by the women that grew in the early 2000s.

Great game, terrible devs.
Meanwhile Neopets Classic has great devs with a terrible game, lol (but I am working on fixing that side of the game). Neopets Classic also had a controversy because it was the first one to go boom (Started as soon as the pandemic began, so you can imagine it popped off in a way no other clone was ready. Most clones todays learned from the mistakes of NPC)

I'm not a collector... but my brother got me a perfect condition issue 1 of UK's Sonic the Comic, a comic that's been out of print for years and the very first issue. So it's the most valuable Sonic-thing I own now.

I also got other Sonic-related things.

Since Christmas is now upon us, how do you handle getting and receiving gifts, /pony/?

> Transactional
< Secret Santa / White Elephant gift exchange, or simply agreement under family and friends,... You give a gift while you receive a gift. Fair exchange.

> Santa Claus
< You always get gifts for everyone, even though you barely ever see anything in return. But you know, watching someone get happy over something you gave is all that really matters and you're not crying when jotting this option down.

> Anti-consumerism
< You don't go out to buy any gifts and you don't accept gifts from anyone else. Christmas is not about gifts, it's all about LEAVING ME THE F$$$ ALONE!

> Opportunist
< You don't really go out to get gifts because no money / time /motivation. People do usually get you something, but it's not like you forced them to buy stuff for you.

They will.

My budget for gifts is pretty tight. Especially since I have a lot of folks to buy for (another next year). And then I gotta bust my ass to even do that.

I do feel bad sometimes. I wish I could give people more interesting stuff more comfortably. But I assure you, no one has ever complained. Friebds or family.

At the end of the day, if you're with the right people, all the cheesy Christmas specials are right. It's more about giving and the sentiment of trying to make eachother happy.

I mean shit, when most of my friends were turning 30,I drew personal t-shirt designs for them and printed them on really cheap crap t-shirts. Cause it was all I could afford to do, all at once. A few of my friends still have them.

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.
