Long fuckton or short fuckton?

Long fuckton.

How many fucktons in Imperial?

Imperial fucktons are identical to metric fucktons but are composed of differing amounts of component measurements. A long metric fuckton is composed of 1,016 metric fuckkilograms, while a long imperial fuckton is composed of 2,240 imperial fuckpounds. As you can see, a metric fuckkilogram masses significantly more than an imperial fuckpound; if we were not measuring in fucktons, that would matter. Labelling them as 'metric' fucktons is a matter of choice, and to indicate which component measurement those 47 metric fucktons should be broken down into.

As I said, the mass is 47 long metric fucktons, which is equivalent to 47,752 metric fuckkilograms (105,280 imperial fuckpounds). If I had been massing the fanfiction in short metric fucktons (each of which is equivalent to approximately 0.892716534 long metric fucktons), it would have converted to 42,629 metric fuckkilograms (94,000 imperial fuckpounds).

If you are currently living in Spain, however, 47,752 metric fuckkilograms would be incorrect notation and would likely cause confusion if you were to relay it to another individual as an example of statistics of dubious veracity, and should be correctly written as 47.752 metric fuckkilograms.

Of course it is, pictures of ponies! Because if we could somehow get ponies into the internet the sheer intensity of cuteness would cause a singularity of a magnitude similar to that generated by a successful division by zero.

Spike is best pony.  Rarity might be long-suffering but so is Spike; they really have that in common which I guess kind of makes sense.  But Spike...Man, he tolerates SO MUCH with barely a whine.  And he doesn't have any cutie mark related breakdowns!  Uh, naturally.

Plus, Spike is Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow Dash is also best pony.

Spike is also the only mane or even secondary character with an unassailably canon love interest, so that's something too.  Not that I don't love shipping every damn pony.


...In my circle of RL friends, we've generally agreed that I'm Dashie and my fiancee is Rarity.  (She rockhunts.)  Which is probably the least common ship I've ever seen.

You see, it's a good thing that I know you only post pictures to troll us :p
Otherwise, that might have scared me.
So, now that that's out of the way...
What the hell is that!?

One does not "jive" with Rarity, darling. One simply appreciates her elegance.:P

Curious to see so many people agreeing that Rarity would be difficult to get along with. She seems more patient and forgiving than any of the others. She might be the first to notice a social faux pas, but she'd also be the most likely to ignore it once noticed, and to leap to one's defense to help save face. Do something foalish in front of Rainbow Dash, she'd laugh in your face. Do something foalish in front of Hoity Toity and he'd loudly proclaim to the world at large what an uncouth barbarian you are. Do something foalish in front of Rarity, and she'd pretend it never happened so as to not embarrass you. That's classy.

If one is of the "sup, dude, let's guzzle beer and have a belching competition!" mentality, I see how she might be grating. But simply by showing a little class, or appreciation of it, I think she'd be very easy to win as a friend.

Again, my only problem with Rarity is that like Applejack, she works too much.

Fair enough.  Initially I didn't think I liked Rarity at all because of her profession and the fact that she gave me the initial impression of being high minded and possibly even stuck up.  After watching a few episodes with her in it, I realized that it was actually me painting her with that brush because that's what I expected her to be.  Not fair at all.

Which is why I don't dislike her.  I've kind of come to realize that she's more about being classy than anything, and I can respect that.  I've come to appreciate her character as having quite a few positives.  Just not the sort of character I really identify with overall.

One man's acid trip is another man's...yeah, I got nothin'.

Rarity, as a character, got me thinking. She's obviously well-behaved and talented enough to fit in well in a big city and become rich and famous. It's apparent that that's her aspiration. Why hasn't she? She's been friends with Fluttershy for a while, but Canterlot's easy visiting distance.

I think her rather pleasant personality clashes with the stuck up nature of the higher-class ponies in the upper circles. Much as she'd "like" to be up there, she much prefers living among people she can get along with. For all her classiness, in the end she's just a small town girl.
