It is extremely important to have critical thinking skills, especially in this time in history where so much false information is circulated through social media sites and the internet as a whole. It's easy to get caught up in believing rumors, questionable facts circulated through Wikipedia or other community edited encyclopedias, fake news reports from both official news stations and internet news reporters, and really just any of the data you take in on a daily basis.

Yes. Scorpion Flies are a thing. That is a scorpion fly in the image above.

They are very common in all parts of the world.

So if you think you are safe just because you live in the northern part of the globe...well...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they exist in the northern hemisphere too.

The Best Picture Storage Websites

Recently, Photobucket decided to be a butt monkey and charge its users to put their stored images on other websites (or what many sites call 3rd party hosting). So all of the images on every one of my sites was blocked.

I tried to use the backup images that I had on Imgur and some other picture storage sites, but those sites blocked my ability to place my images on other websites as well.

There is this site called Rent A Friend where you can rent someone to hang out with you, go skydiving, go on a date; basically rent a friend to do any kind of platonic friendly activity.

You can either join as a member who wants to rent a friend for a specific activity or you can join as a 'friend' who sells their platonic services to whomever might be looking for them.

I thought I would share some programs I personally use on my computer that help to defend it from malicious attacks as well as run faster and smoother. The best things about all of these programs are, not only do they work incredibly well, but they are also one hundred percent free. They each do have 'premium' versions you can buy, but honestly thee free versions work great on their own. There is no reason to 'upgrade' unless you just absolutely want to (for whatever reason).

One of the largest websites that employs snugglers is Cuddle Comfort. There are no requirements other than just liking to snuggle with other people.

Dealing with Jealousy and Broken Friendships

Jealousy can be a tough thing to deal with. You want to believe that as someone who tries to do the right thing or generally be a good person that jealously can't effect you. But the reality is that it is something that everyone has experienced in one form or another in their lives. It it is a natural human emotion and it is okay to feel jealous about a situation, just as long as you also work to resolve the issue at the same time.

Now YouTube has just decided to delete YouTube channels and Google accounts that are 'controversial'. Their definition of 'controversial' is pretty broad; comedy, news, anything that goes against what mainstream media says, and more!

Isn't the future looking grand? :')

P.S. Facebook, Twitter, and all of the other social media sites have pretty much taken the same stance.

Well, now that Thorax has a reformed brother, that means that there are two royal brothers in the Changeling kingdom.

And there are two royal sisters that rule over Equestria.

...

<_<

People are going to start shipping Celestia and Thorax and Luna and Pharynx now, are't they?

I live in Arizona where it is so hot most days of the year that your butt literally glues itself to any surface you are unfortunate enough to be leaning against or sitting on.

It is so hot here that you can cook food just by leaving it outside. I’m not even joking. I have literally cooked eggs, sausage, etc. just by leaving them on a pan sitting on top of the asphalt for a few hours. Oh, and I've baked muffins, cookies, etc. just by leaving them in my car for an hour or so. :I

Next Week's Episode Was Put On Daily Motion

Amazon ended up releasing the new episode of season seven (season 7 episode 18) by accident. Someone uploaded it onto DailyMotion. If you search for it on DailyMotion, you will find it.

The episode has Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Daring Do. It goes into one of the legends from Equestria's past and it is awesome! I totally recommend checking it out if you can.

So here is the thing about Dr. Who. It's bigger on the inside. You look at it right from the outset and go, 'Huh, there's only ten series so far. Let's try this thing out.'

(This is an especially easy mistake to make if you, like me, are American and can't easily access Classic Doctor Who.)
