I wouldn't know, I can't see the future. That pill is currently such a dud and needs a redesign -- a pill for love that only allows you to wield it for non-love reasons since you can never touch after initial contact. Basically, it's just a free Touch-spell Dominate.

I think what surprised me was early on, it looked like a number of Townies had a bead on scum... but it just never got pursued and/or they weren't quite sure, so events drifted in other directions. TK was called out by a number of people, and they were right in terms of him contributing stuff...

Yeah, I've seen worse trailer reveals, but that trailer is good to avoid if you want to enjoy the movie more.

looks like it is over. I hadn't been watching the game. So it looks like Quick got NK'ed on Night 2? I guess that was because he was scanning as pretty clear Town to everyone, so... best to be rid of a verified townie. Poor Tenderheart Bear. ... Tomkat. Looks like he was 7 minutes from a...

Yeah, about the us and them... I gave that movie two stars (out of five). I just couldn't really appreciate it much. It did have some edgy moments, but the ending just threw me off... reminds me of something else I saw... I guess it was The Pact. I remember liking that movie a bit better...

I tend to have a large component of "fuzzy" in my approach, even if my thinking feels very clear internally -- I take a lot of things into consideration. to put it into MBTI terms, you have a range from your hardcore Ti thinkers who dismiss more relational or "potential" concerns completely, to...

Thumbs up on two movies with similar themes (although I don't want to spoil them): Triangle (2009): Starts out as a drama -> ghost ship thriller but quickly becomes something else. Lots of mental coolness in there, trying to unravel who is who and what, what's happening, where it's happening...

I also meant to overtly agree with this. A lot of online game is based on quick-stim rewards -- whether it's killing things or leveling or finding things or whatever else. (A lot of that crappy FaceBook gaming is the same way.) In general, I feel like my attention span has been shot by twenty...

... woof.

I wouldn't really call online stuff (even gaming) completely detrimental, it can be very useful as either an outlet, to build some expertise, to have fun and explore, etc. However, yeah, at some point it can become too obsessive and/or demand far more time and emotional/creative energy than...

Yeah, that's how I feel too. I am a pretty accessible introvert who likes chatting with the right people, even if it tires me a bit. I have an ENTP friend here who is almost like my "work-spouse" -- he and I just have these crazy funny conversations also typically built off trivia, we can talk...

your scores Looking at these, I would expect you to be more (from my experience of you here) something like this: O - 80% C - 20% E - 25% A - 25% N - 60% or something. I think you are more Agreeable than some on this forum, I feel like I can engage you easily without fearing I'm gonna step on...

The "Conscientious" score is way too low. The others are reasonable. Of course, I guess they're funding this by selling composite detail to marketers, based on the shitload of specific product name drops and queries through the second half of the test? At that point they also had collected age...

I saw two movies this weekend: - It Comes at Night. Great little movie, HOWEVER you need to view it not as necessarily a "horror" movie with literally things in the dark but more like a psychological/sociological breakdown movie along the lines of 10 Cloverfield Lane. Otherwise, you might find...

Yeah, everything I've heard about The Mummy has been really lousy. Plus pushing Dark Universe before they had even released a movie....and this one sucked.

Do not fear. http://www.tabletmag.com/wp-content/files_mf/hydra_820.jpg

... I recently did a three-week training stint for advanced analysts at work and it included quite a number of exercises focused on team building and personal assessment. We didn't look at the MBTI, although there was a different system (Insight Inventory) system we did examine, as well as a...

"GREAT SCOTT!" https://teddyboys8284.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/proff.jpg "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS????"

Someone paid $25 million to get Andy Serkis in a greenscreen suit -- its all lies! Lies lies lies!!!

^^ fake news.

I'm glad a true Star Trek geek is here to correct the record. :D ... but yeah, I faintly remember that episode too. Sigh. Maybe I just need to watch something else... like "Spock's Brain."

Well, the impact of the Bible dropped on a foreign planet (once the language barrier was crossed) would depend in part about whether the text was even relevant culturally and psychologically. It's a "human" book in terms of orientation; would ants, if they read it, benefit from such a thing...

^^ Friends, fellows, and countrymen, that's Mister Gopher fulfilling his campaign promise to be a good president of the forum and why he was elected in a unprecedented landslide over less-meticulous opponents during the heated election of just a few months ago. Unlike some presidents who...

what??! oldie but goodie: ... on second thought...

Lol, that's true! I mean, it sucks to lose two weeks of posts, but it's kind of humorous to erase a member from existence by simply rolling the clock back two weeks. Oh dear. Will he reappear at the appointed time again? Never fuck with time travel. Things always get lost.

I'm not sure. You at least would be keeping your not-essential limbs from demanding the energy your precious internal organs need to live. But then again... blood loss? I think the doctor in the story just was consumed by hunger so much that he needed to eat before he went mad. In the spirit...

Office Christmas Party. Lots of funny one-liners and such, good banter at times... but should have ditched stupid subplots about Russian hooker pimp service + trying to make grinchy CEO sister grow a heart. Just go for the jokes.

This thread quickly descended into the two constants of humanity, about which all great literature is written: Sex and death. I still think it's silly to say there are trees on the island large enough to build a raft, yet no food. Is that a plausible ecosystem? I am too funny and smart to...

Oh, the good ol' "Hey, nuthin' but me carrying this big ol' lumpy carpet out to my van at 3am, nuthin' to see here!" trick, eh?

Your ideas are not bad, Rixus. I just want to know how your boss managed to piss you off this much. ;) I thought of that first. In general, mountains and burial under rockfall in isolated area is a pretty good shot. or a sinkhole after which you drop some rocks. eventually, sure, but if...

doesn't open in the USA until 5/19. Guesses as to the ending: 1. Various shots of Baby Groot dancing 2. Detective Mills has cameo: "What's in the ship? Whaaat's in the fucking SHIIIIIP?" 3. After Daniels dies, she appears with Branson (who is dead) along with everyone else all die, on the...

Saw this in training today. Thought of you, at least in terms of the topic. Dunno if you'd find it interesting, but she has other vids about empathy too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLTLH3ZK56M

I usually get hurt most when someone accuses me of being something [negative] that I am not. It's like (1) they thought the worst of me and (2) they don't actually know me although I might have thought they did and (3) so much for trying to engage further. It's probably some baggage from...

Well, after all, Jesus was born on December 25, ya know... Using the term "fairly self-evident" in a thread about how good and evil do not exist as actualities seems a bit like wanting to have your cake and eating it too. Because basically what seems good for someone could be something someone...

http://berna.ir/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/paris_giggle1.jpg seriously though, don't worry about it. Even with my experience dealing with it, there's still a lot I don't know. Meh. But some of these terms are also used in paint, like matte. (It's basically the "flattest" paint you can buy...

...everyone starts somewhere, and some folks online are still teenagers. At one point in each of our histories, we didn't know a thing about typology. I think I ran across MBTI in my mid 20's, and it was like one of those "lightning bolts" moments. Finally I realized my feelings of alienation...

I reached the same conclusion as many here some years back (good and evil just being categories at least partly dependent on who is doing the sifting), it's not D&D where there are tangible alignment realms somewhere. And heck, I was raised to believe in the "pearly gates and streets of gold,"...

Maybe your expectations were not attuned to a typical Marvel movie. I got what I expected, and it was what I wanted, so I was happy. Some humor, some action, some great effects, and some poignant moments where characters either come to certain revelations that will change their course OR choose...

Saw it (GotG2) this morning. Decent movie, on par with the original. Thought the opening was a little rough (it was relying on jokes to get the movie going) but quickly locks in and develops a great undercurrent of meaning. Nebula is explored far more deeply, which is a great subplot -- there's...

It's a movie about alien contact on the surface, but underneath it's really about grief and loss and what it means to be human, yet also transposed in what it could mean if we were NOT human on some levels and had other ways to cognitively understand the world. it's so big-picture, yet so...

you are supposed to be doing part B, not part A. :phear:

Ah, got it. Okay. I think RT actually offers a series of questions by which it matches you up with "similar reviewers". It's not foolproof, but basically if you have similar tastes to certain people, you can use them as a litmus test. You can also do this on your own -- find certain reviewers...

Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are two well-known rating systems. Metacritic aggregates the actual scores critics give movies. So when it gives a movie a 63/100, that means that finding the average of all critic's scores (on a 1-10 scale turned into a 1-100 percentage) is whatever that value...

I was kinda shocked it logged in SO bad on RT (17%)? Sounds like a Redbox flick. Along with The Belko Experiment.

Here are my scores for the first part: Dopamine: 22 Acetylcholine: 22 GABA: 11 Serotonin: 13 So Dopamine/Acetylcholine. ---------- For the second part (deficiencies): Dopamine: 12 Acetylcholine: 9 GABA: 10 Serotonin: 8 ----------- Weird results.

Wait, that was a public poll. ... fuck me. :facepalm: ----- One reason I come is because (1) I'm very familiar with site and most of members and (2) i have no responsibilities here so I can just be whoever I want without thinking about how it's read. Plus, everyone's pretty casual...

* ORACLE WINS HER DANGEROUS GAME*

Life = 5/10 stars. Decent cast, monster design was a bit different than most, but the movie had no real connection to characters, no identity of its own, and was just cobbled together from bits and pieces of far better movies.... it's like a poor man's Alien + Gravity + whatever else.... Meh...
