Yes, what are they? And welcome! :) -Duxwing

Yikes. Thanks. :) OK: --Friendship before romance --Constrained female sexuality O.O I hope that I wouldn't be among that mob. So threads come to defeatist conclusions, but the defeat hasn't occurred in other places. Ah, OK. That blows the diversity of the US out of the...

I agree that it shouldn't have; however, I also think that different response would have been better. Or if one molested of hurt the other: we don't know what happened until we calmly, quietly, and privately ask the kids and find out. If they were just playing doctor, then I have no problem...

The point is that they're kids; those kinds of moments can have long-lasting reverberations. -Duxwing

I remember what I saw, just like a movie. I can fast-forward, rewind, and replay it at will. Emotions can be rederived by recalling my past 'self' and simulating my reaction; the funny thing lies in being able to feel exactly what I felt, exactly where I felt it: the reverberating thud of my...

:o You aussies are undetectable: I thought that you were an American. What would those ideals be, and how does the single-mindedness manifest itself? -Duxwing

That story got me, too, Cherry. Those kids deserved a quiet talking to and a psychological examination, not an explosion of parental anger and 'zero tolerance' (read: zero intelligence) policies. -Duxwing

Thanks for the honorific. ^_^ -Duxwing

Oh my... that rings soooo true in my experience in FIRST and KSP. -Duxwing

Aaaugh!! It's hideous and scary!! >_< -Duxwing

Not really, no. Not even close. My dad works at an investment firm, and every single morning, the developers of new finanial products at the company present him so many novel investment ideas that he feels like he's being shot with a hose in each eye; one would think that such activity would...

I know that I'll sound like an INFJ in the following paragraph, but forgive me: Matters of law aside, you could rule every irredeemable person unfit to live and hold mass executions of re-examined prisoners, sending death squads out after stragglers and lethally injecting sociopathic...

Did they exclude other nations from so being? And the study would have taken 198 times longer if they had studied every nation on earth. -Duxwing

@THD What happens if the wronged is dead or cannot move? -Duxwing

Yet holding someone in prison until they die is actually cheaper than executing them because the court, recognizing the severity of the sentence in the manner of the hero of Twelve Angry Men, often permits multiple, long, drawn out appeals whose legal fees cost more than the total incarceration...

Why is everything that American intellectuals say necessarily related to their being Americans, and not just intellectuals? The intellectuals at hand could have simply known only of the problem as it exists in the United States and not wanted to overstate their claim lest they be derided as--to...

That's exactly what we have, actually: --Inmates are sorted into low, medium, and maximum security prisons depending on their degree of violence --Parole for good behavior can be granted to inmates in certain states; albeit, federal sentences offer no parole. --Escaping from prison is a crime...

:) Thanks. Perhaps we should include time in our considerations? When one has only seconds to determine the nature of another, the MBTI and its associated visual typing system (thanks, PhoenixRising and Auburn) act as heuristics that narrow down one's searches for specific types of people and...

OK. :) -Duxwing

In which case he would be the hedonist private eye, not the existential one; albeit, his purpose could be pleasure. I understand that you're frustrated, but chill out, mannnnn, you're harshing the vibe. I don't know what you meant, and accepting 'contrived' as the word for your intended...

The PI's argument seems to rest on the assumption that conflict ought to be avoided; while one could argue that such is his self-created moral code, an existentialist could just as well make his purpose conflict. It seems almost like a rationalization of inferior Fe. And contrived? Eh...

Thanks Solitaire. You're right; I spend a huge amount of time on this forum. My greatest reason for so doing is social boredom: my classmates--even the ENTP, ENTJ, and INTJ--rarely appreciate debates or abstract discussions and prefer small talk and jokes. When I was younger, imagination and...

Ni can be very fuzzy indeed. I changed my original response because I wasn't sure that it would be appropriate. Oh, *hug* *there there* Breakups are hard, but the pain will pass, and you'll find another wonderful, loving man for yourself, even if that doesn't seem likely now. While I...

Oh, OK. I didn't get it; INTPs in general might be somewhat bad at this sort of humor because their Feeling function is inferior. Have you found success with using it with your INTP? If you have, then great, but if you haven't, then simplifying and exaggerating your social cues might help him...

The alternative being an incomprehensible gestalt? -Duxwing

Alternatively, we could trail the cable--which is fixed to the earth at one end--from a rocket and then use a space-elevator car running on that cable to lift the rest of what we need by using the rocket and the payload of each successive lift as our ever-growing counterweight. -Duxwing

To get into space, use a space elevator with a dock and shipyard at its end to lift, launch, assemble, and maintain prefabricated craft, parts, supplies, and crew. The fixed and permanent nature of this solution will require considerable funds and political will, but once in place, need never...

Provided a sufficiently interesting stimulus, like a book, and the willingness to fully enthrall myself with it, I can ignore the movement of crowds of people with whom I am to walk. -Duxwing

I'm actually rather confused. -Duxwing

I think that you were on the right track when you said that he was an emotionally damaged INTP. -Duxwing

Happy Birthday, Cherry! -Duxwing

pssst Wolf's a she

I've yet to go to college, but she sounds loonier than any highschool teacher that I've ever had; I would have felt the same way in your position, and I agree that her assessment of your work was completely off-base and that her twenty-minute shouting down was just plain cruel. Yet in the...

Would replacing one part of the brain with an electronic prosthesis destroy the original consciousness, and could the question be determined empirically? -Duxwing

Welcome in, Lane. I hope that you enjoy your stay in our halls. :) -Duxwing

An INTP could determine the logical validity and consistency of the "end" seen by an ENTP; nonetheless, being able to temporarily engage "J mode" and restrain yourself is a valuable skill for sound reasoning. -Duxwing

Whenever nostalgia strikes, tell yourself, "Yes, I had good times, and I enjoyed those good times; however, those good times were based on a neurosis, and they ended before I left. I need to focus on the present lest it slip away from me" and then focus your mind on your new life: find work...

In general: logic, theory, hypothesis, concision, soundness, validity, consistency, completeness, inner peace, outer peace, material security. In myself and others: intelligence, mastery, competence, skill, speed, rationality, cleverness, kindness to and care for others, integrity, honesty...

Would you mind posting his argument for us to review? Perhaps it contains fallacies that you missed. -Duxwing

Or perhaps act as rescuers in themselves, provided even larger dimensions and some grasper arms? The drones would be autonomous and maintained by the United Nations. My idea was to carry the quadrotor on one's back and hurl it into the fray. -Duxwing

If we can make them cheaply, then we can release swarms of them from fixed and mobile containers to gather data whenever disaster strikes. They could even carry small rescue equipment--small hoses, hooks, rope ladders--if built to slightly larger dimensions. Or prevent the battle entirely...

Awwwww. :) What makes your heart flutter when you see her? -Duxwing

I very rarely get angry, and you? -Duxwing

Help mall cops locate lost children in shopping malls by homing in on their cell phones. -Duxwing

Hahaha! Now I understand why you had a crush on her. :) -Duxwing

Who is Daria? -Duxwing

My birthday is today! :) -Duxwing

They're like vampires: thrust a wooden stake into their heart when they're asleep. :D -Duxwing

Hm, in that case, vegetarianism seems more appealing. -Duxwing
