At the risk of stroking redbaron to orgasm, this. I just think it's a bad idea to invite others to troubleshoot your future. I've heard too many sob stories of anger and resentment from people who were 'guided' or forced to follow paths forged for them by other people's urges.

9 Such a perfect number...simple, pure, deceptively easy to add, multiply and subtract because its just 1 less than 10. And what an ideal age to be in human years. Also, it's odd, which is always a plus, and apparently none of you favor it, which makes it comfortably un-trendy/hip/cool. 9...

If money were no object and I didn't have to work for a living...Sicily, or Sardinia, or Corsica, or perhaps the rock of Gibraltar :). I'd also consider Tahiti. But money is an object and we have to work for a living, so we chose Mexico. The UK would be my last choice...no nanny state politics...

You're definitely a person of interest to me. Just don't get all squishy-feely-huggy about it. :)

Less often than they abandon me, apparently. No, I don't know. I'll probably abandon the Chrysler minivan forum if and when I ever sell my van, but for right now, it's extremely helpful to have a place to go to and say "The fucking piece of shit broke again! Somebody please tell me what the...

You're tripping my SJ alarm on a repetitive basis now. I should start charging you half of my electric bill. :)

Literally: My feet My aging Dodge Caravan Spiritually: Music My kids' generalized unrestrained enthusiasm, waning now in the eldest. :( My youngest kid's sensitivity towards and communicative abilities with weary, wounded, starving, neglected street dogs. But what moves me more than observing...

Since when? Boredom, mostly. Not a lot. Nothing, actually. Overall, and especially as of late, it seems to be a magnet for lonely, clinically depressed high school and college students. I don't oppose this, per se, but it's difficult to define 'spirit' in degrees of lost souls. I did not...

VH is from the same town I grew up in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ckFuURIWXc

Because we like the Luftwaffe! :D

Yes, we're better than others because we're able to point out our own flaws! :) jk

A male of five and ten could equal two boys ages 5 and 10, a boy aged 15, or a 5'10" male of unknown age... Welcome, whichever you are. :)

That's like declaring the thread open season for trolls and derailers. In other words, anyone who begs to differ would be silenced. Would require a police force to enforce (do we have one of those?). Pure agreement equates to a dead thread. Differing opinions equate to growth. A public forum...

Yes, but that's what enthusiast groups do, generally. To be accepted as a Ford Mustang aficionado, you must first denounce the Chevy Camaro.

Maybe you could start an "Ask Cognisant a nihilistically themed question" thread. But I do understand where you're coming from. Very frustrating to have a technically-oriented topic on, say, "the successful dissemination of political propaganda" deteriorate into a donkeys vs. elephants argument.

What boosts my self-esteem? Pretty basic; success!

I vow, but it's a hollow vow, as I lack the time, organizational skills, and self-confidence to conduct such an ambitious undertaking as an "Ask me" thread. However, I must say that the pasta sauce was supremely successful! Opted for ground beef, and added a small can of tomato paste to thicken...

Hmmm, Navy, LAPD...I think he had it in him all along. Considering the conditioning he received from the agencies he was involved with, I think his actions are quite predictable (and neither surprising nor 'special'). "And they call me an assassin. What do you call it when the assassins accuse...

Now I feel cheated. Is this justified? :)

Yeah well, kind of obvious. This is heavy SJ/LAPD shit. Nothing to analyze...it's too predictable. Violent secret societies are all the same, regardless of what side of the arbitrary law they're standing. Frankly, I've more respect for the criminals because they don't try to justify their...

Alright, so if you have 457,224,967 quarters, how many pesos do you have?

How am I supposed to make that distinction for anyone other than myself? I find this site both intellectually challenging and stimulating. You, on the other hand, will probably just find it boring... https://www.ericthecarguy.com/kunena/index

I remember back in the early days of INTPCentral, the big musical stereotype was something along the lines of: "If you don't love TOOL, you aren't an INTP".

Christ, I wish it was that easy. But you know how cars (people) are...fixing something solves the present problem, but it also calls into play other things that require attention. :)

It seems like a lot of MBTI 'enthusiasts' treat Typology as Astrology enthusiasts treat Astrology. I think it stems from people wanting to have an explanation (or excuse, often) for everything they do, every reaction they experience, etc. Also, I think a lot of 'enthusiasts' latch onto MBTI...

La Gran Cascada. PS: Vomit jokes, eh? So this is how it ends....

A question for the family man: Which is the best; Dodge Grand Caravan, Toyota Sienna, or Honda Odyssey? :)

Because you're a sucker?

Ahhh. Fuckin' puppy-kickers!

Forgive me, I've been out of the US for a couple years. So someone refresh my memory... Why do we hate Papa John's again?

I'm interested in machines of all types, not just cars. I love computers too and have similar diagnostic abilities with them. As I said, I think cars just grew on me at an early age because I had so much exposure to them. INTP/ISTP. I don't know. I test as INTP, if that's what you're asking. I...

I was definitely one of those guys. I'm almost 45. When I was young, computers were gigantic banks of machines that had to be isolated in specially-constructed climate-controlled rooms. Cars were the only machines that were both interesting and accessible. I wonder, if I'd have been born 25...

Shake Sprite for 10 minutes. That should be fun.

My wife just told me that I'm more in tune with the family car than I am with her. She meant it as a joke but (ouch) I kind of suspect she's right. I know every inch of our car. Every strange sound it makes, every little operational anomaly, every trouble code thrown by its PCM. Nothing...

I disagree. The US would come to the aid of these countries on principle (and 223 billion barrels of oil is a lot of principle).

HA! You cannot stop the expat invasion... But fear not for your job; all of our lucrative pursuits revolve around our native English-speaking capacities. :) But don't call us gringos. We're probably browner than you are. :D (photo of eldest offspring):

When I was a speed freak, I used to habitually forget to eat, drink, piss, shit, and of course, sleep. I don't mean neglect; I would simply forget that it's necessary to do those things occasionally. Those urges just didn't manifest as they should. Completely out of sync with my bodily needs, I...

I don't know if I'd call it a 'delightful eccentricity'. Actually, it seems rather insulting, like a king renaming his subjects to suit his own whims. Names are deeply significant to family and self-identity. Also, people can be rather particular about how they're addressed. Regarding my...

If you're offering, YES! PM me. :)

I live and work in Mexico, teaching English. Teaching opportunities for certified, native-speaking ESL instructors are plentiful, but wages are pretty bad if you intend to teach at a formal school. I taught at the local Berlitz academy for 3 months at 80 pesos per hour. After my experiences...

Middle. Brother, 5 years older. Sister, 18 months younger.

Black has always been my favorite color. Why couldn't I vote for it?

I WILL succeed at an attempt to make spaghetti sauce from scratch. I would like to see my children grow into stable, intelligent adults. I would like to accomplish my demise relatively painlessly.

Those who post 2000 comments have too much time on their hands, or are otherwise unengaged (or perhaps just unemployed). As connected to social status, probably. It just appears to me that the self-admitted university students here tend to post more, make longer posts, and more aggressively...
