The only library i know in the city is inside the local university. which is at a 45 minutes away if i go by foot. essentially, i’m too lazy to walk all the way there just for that.
There’s only so much physical texts i can read, or afford to buy. i only have about 15 books and i have already read all of them but one. but i love to read. the thing that occupies most of my time in the computer, besides using Derpibooru or doing assistant things is reading things around the internet. especially Wikipedia.
Heh. From “Slice of Life,” they see the mane six talking.
“What do you think they’re talking about? Maybe another monster is going to attack the town?”
“Oh no, not on my wedding day!”
“Or it might be a friendship problem and the whole thing will be resolved in half an hour or so.”
Plus, ponies are freaking adorable. Maybe if you lived with them 24/7 you might stop seeing it or something, but as it stands, they’re adorable.
And not a reason it’d be better but a reason people think that way is that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Romanticizing something unattainable is pretty common. It allows you to feel good about a fantasy that can never be turned into a disappointment by actualization.
I think a lot of people who want Equestria would die pretty quickly from no internet, and I’m not sure whether or not they even have air conditioning. Thank goodness for running water being canonized, though xP (Feeling Pinkie Keen, the bath. And Baby Cakes, same bath again with pressurized faucet)

It’s still a minority when compared to a list of ponies who are either neutral or nice.
Plus, many stories happen because of an antagonist, so we have a bias towards them. Example, near the end of “Bridle Gossip,” Twilight approaches a door, and says, “Daisy, we need to talk…” implying that that’s a character she knows but we never saw any of. Add to that all the dozens of ponies Pinkie knows…
Point is, it’s a small minority compared to the whole list of ponies, and it has a bias in its favor, so, yeh.

There are plenty of people trying to do little things to make the world a better place: you’ve just got to step away from your computer screen and look for them.

Sure wish we could do away with the need for trying times and simply do what’s best for everyone right now but that’s my Pollyannaism showing.
@Crystal Neighybánya
Neither do I. :)
I will say this: if we had Windigoes in this world, we’d all be dead. Ponies managed to get their manure together to get along when not doing so meant freezing to death.
Don’t forget all the monsters and demonic creatures.
That’s why I said that. Was basically just confirming :p
I’ve got more to say but I think I’ll just PM instead of cluttering the comment section with less relevant stuff…
Why do you think that most of my reading is done in the internet?
Edited
You could Google if there’s a closer one. Or just stick to internet. There’s plenty on the internet.

Libraries are free. At least in the U.S.

Plus, Twilight would probably go slack-jawed at Wikipedia xD
The intent is like an addictive pleasure to me. I wish I had the self control to read more often instead of being here :p
But, it’s a lot harder to write when you have to literally do it on paper, instead of typing up editable files…
That’s the main reason why i wouldn’t want to live there.
True, but it’s still something Equestria has going for it.

With less random bullshit and at least a vague idea of where the plot’s gonna go.
Fictional characters tend to have a purpose in the narrative. Real people generally have to fake it.
Fiction in general tends to end better in real-life, because it tends to be less complex and nuanced.
Well it is for three reasons,
lol. You may have thought this was a first reason.
||J. It continues! ||
||K. See what it does? Lol jk. Yeah, I just like this headcanon more is all. Bright colorful landscapes and all just make it feel nicer, too.
||
But really, episodes do usually end well. That’s more than you can say about real life. Mmmm… Maybe.
As long as you don’t go and act like your headcanon is somehow more valid than mine, things should be fine.

And that’s fine, that’s why these are called “head”canons :p

I’m not so sure: in trying times, humans have a tendency to put aside their differences and come together.
Neither do I. :)

But I already said I don’t buy it. D:
Tell you what: you buy it, hold on to your receipt, and if you don’t like it, you can bring it back for a full refund. :P
I’m sorry, I still don’t buy the “ponies are inherently nicer/better” headcanon.
It’s still a minority when compared to a list of ponies who are either neutral or nice.
