Apparently the SAT has been cancelled in South Korea due to cheating. The entire nation.

As in, all of it?

Friend posted this article. It's pretty great until you get to the end, in which the article turns around completely and the speaker pretty much says that Christianity converted this person to become heterosexual, but then goes on to suggest that Christians go out of their way to help "gay activists", comparing them to "vampires".

That's brainwashing for you.

Make sure not to take classes that could expose you to other world-views! That'd be absolutely terrible!

Thought for the Day: A small mind is easily filled with faith. (Yes, that is an actual 40K thought for the day.)

Tommorow me and the rest of the NJROTC academic team is going to a ceremony to meet the local school board due to how we did on the national competition.  According to an E-Mail the Commander sent out, our uniform will be "Civilian shirt and tie."  How much more specific can you be?

So it begins..

That right there is high octane WTF.

I'd say it won't be long before there is porn of that, but there already is.

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. (From Dawn of War rather than 40k proper, but it fits)

The department of Justice has seized over 2 months worth of records from AP.

What.

So it begins..

I knew this would show up.

It's not that bad...at first glance The final official trailer from what I saw, they didn't have wings, and the ears were more humanoid.

Still an odd choice for a movie though, I assume Hasbro had to do with the decision. They kept the color schemes too, which is odd because if you're gonna go and make semi-humanized characters why stop at 80% and leave them colored like marshmallow equine-like creatures. That defeats any goal of humanoid characters.

It raises even more questions because it appears to be set in high school, which completely goes against the implied ages of the main characters in ponyland, which seems to be young adults about out of college and self sufficient.

I'll stop filling the thread with da ponah theory crafting and agree it's pretty WTF worthy. It looks like a terrible marketing choice for any audience outside of the original small girl demographic, and a big risk anyway simply because it's anthromorphed/humanized ponies.

It's like deciding to make the next Call of Duty a text-based psychological thriller roguelike set in the stone age. Why break the formula, and what drugs were involved in the final decision?

Alright, who let the fanfic writers sneak into the studios

That reminds me of a conversation I once had with some friends about how they would do the killstreaks in Call of Duty: Ancient Warfare 6. 

Apparently the SAT has been cancelled in South Korea due to cheating. The entire nation.

So how are you supposed to get into college?

Huh.
Can I destroy this reality, guys? None of you would miss it...

Portland is apparently going crazy about putting flouridation in drinking water.  Firstly, I thought all cities had that at this point; and secondly, how much of conspiracy nut do you have to be to oppose something like that?

Feel free to link the Dr. Strangelove clip when necessary.

By reforming the education system to the extent that the SAT administration will allow it again. They're essentially holding the educational system hostage, which is an even more powerful act in South Korea specifically.
