They might have been supporting it with clouds or something.

You know how it should have ended? With Twilight making a log of Pinkie's twitches.

Or they're especially strong Pegasi.

Agreed.

I do love carrying on two conversations simultaneously.

Let's make it 3.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#210880 Perpetual Lurker Fri, 1st Jun '12 6:50:08 PM

Yeah, that's because their magic negates gravity. The cart still has the same mass, though, so pulling it would be just as difficult as it would be on the ground, assuming that the wheels are well oiled, at least.

#210881 Psi 001 Fri, 1st Jun '12 6:50:11 PM

I've just remembered the brilliant Zoolander pose Rarity makes at the start of SFS.

Feeling Pinkie Keen was pretty cool, one of the first heavy displays of Twilight's wacky neurotics.

Why do I get the feeling she's be awesome in a Duck Amuck scenario?

But thats just what a fashion designer does, its their job to know what looks good on somebody. Its not them being condescending thats just their job.

Would you be upset that a doctor knows exactly what procedure to do on you when you think you need something else done?

Well the big drug companies sure spending a lot of moeny trying to make you feel that way.

@Whatsisgame - didnt those moving van ponies drop a whole bunch of stuff on Twilight though? Maybe they WERENT having an easy time before the stuff fell out?

@Turtle That was Derpy's fault, though.

If pegasi magic didn't have antigravity, then the truck would be hanging down from them.

yeah, that's why that part didn't really bug me. We know the clouds are at least somewhat solid, so while its still absurd, I can at least suspend my disbelief over it.

@Turtle Doctors need a person's consent to carry out procedures. They can't just do stuff and expect people to like it. They need to keep their patient informed at all times, and allow them to make the decisions regarding what gets done

Yes but you don't normally tell the doctor how to do their job.

You don't listen to the doctor, you die.

You don't listen to the expert fashion designer, you die. Of embarrassment.

@story I know. I AGREE that the mane cast and Rarity let things go too far. I'm just saying that customer satisfaction should be paramount when it comes to a product. Otherwise, what's the point?

#210893 Perpetual Lurker Fri, 1st Jun '12 6:56:43 PM

@Blissey The clouds aren't solid, though. You haven't gotten to the episode, yet, but cloud-walking is later explicitly stated as a pegasus (and other winged creatures) ability, and it has to be imitated with Unicorn magic if non-pegasi wants to walk on clouds. Things regarding magic and the like are actually rather well thought out in this show, and typically very internally consistent. It's one of the things I really like about it.

Am I just speaking gibberish?

#210895 Perpetual Lurker Fri, 1st Jun '12 6:59:33 PM

You're not. You're just missing the point. Customer satisfaction is paramount. What do you think would have happened if they had gone to the Gala in those dresses? They would have been laughed at, shunned, or both. The dresses were supposed to be fancy, and be appropriate for a formal event. If they are unable to fulfill their function, then the customer will be dissatisfied.

@ginger: Nah, you're making sense. I'm fluent in gibberish.

#210897 Mio Fri, 1st Jun '12 7:01:19 PM

@Ginger: The thing is is that they Rarity was not selling them a product, she was giving them a gift. You usually don't get a lot of lee way to demand things about your gifts since it is considered rude and inconsiderate.

To remove any subtlety from the Executive Meddling analogy.

People often know what they want, but they don't always know what they need.

What they wish for isn't the thing they really desire.

Then what was the bit about the budget in the song?

@Lurker I know. You people seem to be implying that I'm defending what the mane cast did. I'm not. What I'm against is how little you guys seem to value customer input.

Maybe they shouldn't always be listened to, but I dislike the notion that a person should just blindly follow what the fashion designer does when they CAN make mistakes themselves (they aren't unfallable)

and also, on a personal note: Do you know how many weird looks I get from barbers when I ask for a mullet cut? I didn't listen and I'm personally VERY satisfied with my look
