Firestone: Thats one of the points of the tradition. To test the relationship.

The existence of a law doesn’t always guarantee that it’s used properly. As I understand the issue is that women who are harassed too often don’t speak out against it, and the bystander effect too often results in people who are aware of something bad happening but don’t do anything to put a stop to it. It’s a well-known social psychology phenomenon that’s been exhaustively documented, and it’s not just limited to rape or harassment.
 
What makes this more complicated is that there are times when people try to work outside of the law to solve these issues, and that’s where things get messy. The other day I heard a story from my childhood friend about how last semester he was at a frat party at Towson University, and a girl passed out drunk. The next day she claimed she was roofied, but when she got tested they found no evidence of her being under the influence of a date rape drug, only alcohol. Despite that, the university decided to place the entire fraternity under temporary probation.
 
The issue isn’t that there aren’t laws in place, it’s that too often they’re not used properly. People have taken the wrong approach to this by trying to work outside the law, which ultimately only results in greater injustice.
 
The laws we need already exist, we just need people to make better use of them.

Wheatley: Oh Well, let’s start testing Then.

@MarauderPilot  
Delivery dog1: No, this game go far into complexity but doing an instant DNA test on a blood trail.
 
Delivery dog3: Just be courageous and run toward danger or cautious go straight for the objective without useless risks.
 
Delivery dog2: No need to say that being cautious don’t help gaining level nor getting better equipment so actually the reckless way is the best way.

@Prince Artemis  
Wheatley: Its more of a testing facility.

I really want to see an episode that covers some details of the Royal Guards, like their history and culture, just like what they did with the Wonderbolts in Testing 1-2-3. Maybe a Shining Armor episode would be appropriate for that.

considering how xbox has mlp items, im pretty sure its real.
 
 
@soundtea
 
day 1 patches its already incredibly stupid, but the fact it cant even fix the game would already be testing your luck.

@Zincy
 
…well, that sounds suspiciously Zelda-ish…
 
 
Btw, there’s still something that bugs me about evolution:
 
Now, it had been explained to me before that idea of natural selection simply being “survival of the fittest” is a tad off; rather, it’s more like the proliferation of the slightly better. The reasoning was that the fittest would throw the balance out of whack and collapse the ecosystem, like when an invasive predator hunts a native prey to extinction or unchecked prey overpopulates a habitat.
 
“Arrogance of man” aside, humans do kinda look like that playable character that totally breaks the game; or rather, we seem highly adept at gaming the system. Sure, we’ve wiped out a few species, but on the other hand we’ve actually raised and bred much of our prey, deliberately increasing their number in our own interest. Furthermore, we even DEBATE whether we should eat animals to begin with, which we probably wouldn’t do if we didn’t have what’s possibly the most flexible diet in the animal kingdom. For that matter, we’re technically apex predators; more to the point, not only are we one of the very few omnivorous apex predators, but I’m pretty sure all the other ones are hulking beasts with deadly weapons built-in. Again, the only reason we seem to be able to compete at such a level is because we game the system, pretty much bypassing all the checks other species are subject to. Hell, we’ve even been known to transform our environment, adapting it to ourselves rather than the other way around as the evolutionary process would dictate. Oh, and one could write a thesis about all the weird choices humans make regarding the propagation of our species.
 
…I guess what I’m trying to say is, while I’ve been told how modern man has come to be, I don’t think anyone has told me how modern man in of itself doesn’t outright violate the evolutionary order.
 
 
…also, I don’t know if this is a thing or if there’s anyway I could push to make this a thing, but I’d like to see some statistics on tithing.
 
For those unaware, in the faith it’s said that the “first fruits” of one’s labor belongs to God. Regarding resources, this would literally mean the first ten percent of one’s crops, herds, etc.; with regards to money, on the other hand, it’s the ten percent you give to God before you do anything else with the paycheck. Oh, and “giving” to God pretty much amounts to dropping your shit off at whatever house of worship you choose to associate with.
 
Now, what’s odd about tithing is that it can allegedly prove God exists. If somebody starts giving his/her tithe, they’re supposed to see his/her finances blessed (usually stuff like getting debt and bills paid off, although there have been reports of extreme cases where real hardcore disciples will come into ownership of stuff like jet hangars); however, a person who stops giving his/her tithe should see his/her finances go to shit.
 
…and yes, I’m painfully aware that this sounds similar to the sort of shit you’d expect to come outta Obama’s mouth…
 
…but for what it’s worth, it has been compared to farming: if you plant the best seeds and eat the worst, after several years the worst seeds of your latest crop will taste better than the best seeds of your first crop.
 
…thing is, I’m currently working a dead-end minimum wage job, living with my parents, and am already tithing; I’m not exactly in the best position to test this for myself. Besides, a sample would probably work better than my own subjective experience; I mean, I know it might not really prove anything one way or the other, but I guess it could at least be a start.

@Whatevs  
Well you have tested the same ideas 2-3 times already. Stop testing and start firing.

@Grieffon  
except you misunderstand. I want to test my ideas before going into shark infested waters.  
Believe it or not but I am not infallible and I have missed the point before.

@Dr Outback  

 
I heard the first season (Which is what Kids WB aired) was actually good, but I’ve only ever seen episodes from the later seasons on Cartoon Network, which are awful.

^ give me marshmellows and maybe i might do the test,and this time i will actully try

^ Has failed the test of will!

Gender discussions can be unfathomably exhausting, so if the conversations about gender stresses you, I suggest staying away for your own sake.
 
Just treat women as humans and respect them as individuals first and foremost and you should have already passed the sexism test.
 
I, myself, am only in this out of sheer stubbornness by this point.

@Zennistrad  
They were probably told that the sexual part’s is where the difference would be, so that mean those who were disturbed by the rest of the body goes against what they’ve been told to look at. And in a test where you have to look at images you are bound to give the maximum attention you are capable of to succeed (even though in a test like that succeeding might not be the smartest thing to do), it’s where this attention is put that should be the question.

@Zennistrad  
“In the study, participants were randomly presented with dozens of images of fully clothed, average-looking men and women. Each person was shown from head to knee, standing, with eyes focused on the camera.
 
After a brief pause, participants then saw two new images on their screen: One was unmodified and contained the original image, while the other was a slightly modified version of the original image that comprised a sexual body part. Participants then quickly indicated which of the two images they had previously seen.
 
The results were consistent: Women’s sexual body parts were more easily recognized when presented in isolation than when they were presented in the context of their entire bodies. But men’s sexual body parts were recognized better when presented in the context of their entire bodies than they were in isolation”
 
What? Recognizing “males sexual body parts” when they’re fully clothed? Of course that test could only end in one way.

I like Johnny Test. At least when it was on kids WB.

OOC: oh wanted to say that i’ve been having problems so i can only come on weekends for rping now, though it won’t be forever, just for the summer. Well gotta go all! Got one more final test and i’m breaking for the summer and Happy Summer to you all!

@SeraphimDawn
 
Last time he posted they were going to test some new software and hardware. So chances are he won’t be here for another couple days

@Itsthinking  
Are we talking “six untrained mares against a full grown dragon” grossly irresponsible, “destroy an entire party out of boredom despite having perfectly legitimate ways of changing it” grossly irresponible or “risk an entire kingdom to slavery to test your moron student” grossly irresponsible?

@twistedmetalero  
But that is my entire point. All of that evidence is false, it was created along with the rest of the universe mere hours ago to test your faith.

@Trickquestion  
>Implying anyone gives a damn about the crystal ponies  
those emos deserve tp be treated as a test for being good for nothing idiots.

Luna is dumb and immature, but she’s at least channeling it into monster fighting. She at least doesn’t go around making neurotic scholars with zero charisma politicians, or using the lives of thousands of innocent people as a test. Now that the whole Nightmare Moon thing got rainbowed out of her, she’s basically harmless.

I took a test and got True Neutral.
