Which I get for some people the point isn't to convince other people the point is to dunk on the other side so you can get Internet points from the people who do agree with you but I also hate that attitude generally.

What the fuck do they mean record is the first tiebreaker, if they don't have the same record they aren't tied, what is happening

I don't know, I don't exactly want to get into an argument about how okay it is to sexualize characters in a children's TV show, I just always read the Mane Six as adults. Rarity has an established dress making business at the beginning of the series. They seem like adults.

Well, that movie also portrays Sunset Shimmer, who canonically was at least the age the Mane Six is during the show at a time when Twilight was a child, as also in high school and the same age as Twilight, so it's not exactly a reliable source as to the age of the characters in the actual show.

Oh I definitely forgot about Equestria Girls.

Sure, but like, what coded the Mane Six as teenagers? Rarity and Applejack having younger sisters? I can't think of anything else.

To be clear, I find the sexualization of the Mane Six problematic for other reasons, I just didn't find it pedophilic.

Were the Mane Six underage-coded? They had like, jobs, and lived by themselves.

Like, who thought the apple juice task was going to be interesting? Who looked at that idea and thought it was worth filming? How did it not end up on the cutting room floor? It was nothing! Not even Phil being incompetent was interesting!

I feel like I'm missing something seeing the universal praise for this series right now. I think I liked it more than you did (the front half of the series had some *amazing* moments) but the tasks were kind of consistently bad in the last three or four eps.

Also like I can't believe the Big Bad Corporation is literally called Evil Corp, the first few times I heard someone say that in the show I assumed it was a nickname but no they're legit on news broadcasts acting like that's not the wildest name for a company ever.

Hoping that Elliot keeps his guard up with this hacker group, the show will be a lot less interesting if he fully buys in to their agenda.

It's not like KenPom can just flip a switch and count all these games. It'd require expanding the rankings to include D-II schools. Which means getting reliable statistics for every D-II game.

Man I remember being so excited when the US was picked as a host country and Seattle seemed likely to get games. Now it's clear there was no point in that excitement. These games were never going to be for me.

Flagg wasn't at Duke long enough to be hated imo.
