hey there, how are you? Welcome back!! :) So you finally did see the old nightmare on elm street -- what did you think? Aside from it being made in the 80's? Poor Johnny Depp....

Yeah, gratz -- you have pretty much captured it right there. It sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Sadly... not really. INTPs try to flex to allow the widest participation possible from divergent voices (more info!), but eventually that approach outstayed its welcome here.

HAHAHAHA! Man they are gonna hate us. Type forums are so incestuous. People tend to be on multiple forums (even if not all of them), and also when people get banned they just run the circuit of type sites so you just see them popping up in the same pool... ... i have an old account there.

I started in coding back at college, and have done it on and off over the years. There are some great things about it (building your own code, being able to focus on something intently) and things I hated (like bug searching -- no greater feeling than figuring out why something isn't working, no...

Great example, the field itself allows for the differences between the two types to be more clearly shown. (It's typically what I experience in just providing advice / listening to folks online or elsewhere as well -- affirmation seems to be important, but I recognized early I couldn't take it...

I guess his chance of being considered was not very large? Or was it because he submitted a soft copy? He could appeal, I suppose, but I heard it would not stand up in court.

What are your other hypotheses to explain the change? Maybe we can start testing.

I tend to either summarize everything into a few key ideas, or I explain in great detail. it depends on whether it's a nuanced argument / needs the detail to build the case. Worst feeling is when I think something was funny, but I have to explain the context in detail for people to see the...

Well, you would have thought they would have some kind of protocol for dealing with a Maeve or the park would have hired people with a bit more common sense. On the other hand, it was clear the show felt pretty dark and they wanted some comedic moments. I have to admit it was kind of delicious...

It depends on the maturity level of the ESFJ, as it does for EVERY type (and every type has flaws and strengths). I'll be honest, a portion of the bitching comes across as inexperience bitching about inexperience, and it doesn't help when typically the INTP/ESFJ relationship in question is...

I'll respond to the rest later when I have time. Moonlight is a five-star movie, but I didn't have a large emotional reaction to it unfortunately. It's just very well done. I saw Certain Women. The middle section with Michelle Williams is my least favorite, although it's not bad; it just kind...

My second relationship only lasted about 2-3 months and I was the one dumped. It took me about three years to get over it; it was exacerbated by the fact my ex wanted to still be friends but kept giving me mixed messaging, so I could never really heal from it. I eventually found someone else and...

I typically got A's / Outstandings in every actual subject (and was well-behaved, attentive, and very smart in the teachers' eyes), got along with all my peers fine, etc... except from Phys Ed where I would get a Satisfactory, and in Handwriting, where I typically was barely scraping by. I...

What did you think sucked about it? What did you think of his last film, Whiplash? Actually it looks like a number of decent movies came out near end of year. Still there was a glut of so-so in mid-year and fall. EDIT: Three last films I watched were: Passengers: Surprisingly had a lot of...

you have a pretty close distribution for six types there. I'd say the only sure thing is that you are not an Eight, Three, or Seven.

I'm 5w4 (594 tritype) sx/sp, with an LII socionics test outcome and/or socionics INTj -- although with the latter, I've seen them further broken down into subtypes of INTj-Ti and INTj-Ne, of which I am closer to the second type. I actually have some trouble connecting with MBTI xNTJ's, their Ni...

Maybe you need more practice. ;) ... basically, it's got to source from inside and come out through your eyes, not just be slapped on the exterior face. I've gotten kind of good at this. Inside, I can feel indifferent but somehow I found a way to tap into that well regardless of how I...

Is it better than the commercials for it? I had written it off because it looked kind of cheesy (although not "Into the Badlands" cheesey).

Re: Identity and Trippy Crap You need to explain this better, as I'm not sure what relevancy "infinitesimally small instances" even means exactly. You could make any claim whatsoever without ever being able to show anything at all. You're claiming it wouldn't affect a macro thought (like my...

Re: Identity and Trippy Crap I guess the only issue I can come up with about that is (1) is it possible to think a complete thought or speak a complete sentence if you are recreated every instant -- i.e., how does a thought stretch across multiple instants of destruction/creation -- and (2)...

Three Cheers for Forer! Anyway, for kicks and grins:

Welcome back. No problem with a little ENTP zaniness, if that's what you end up as. ;)

I'm not sure I can articulate the experience, but the overall gist is that I became so miserable in indecision and my own lack of efficacy that I finally got off the fence and made a decision about one thing I had been stuck on for a long time. It definitely unsettled my life (and I ended up...

I read it as, "Sinny was being blamed for eroding the forum quality." Based on what the mods said in the other thread, she basically was given a month off as a test, and if the quality goes back up and things get better, then it was her; if the quality still sucks, then it wasn't. i.e., an...

Looking forward to this once I get access to it (along with Manchester by the Sea). I ended up watching three movies yesterday: - The Secret Life of Pets. Meh. Jokes were rarely funny (delivery/wording problems), the plot was unfocused, and needed more focus on character. Which is a...

well, there is still some aspect of personality internally that pushes one to either conform or fight. There are different strategies. One can withdraw from others when the environment is dangerous, or one can fight back (if they feel strong enough), or one can try to throw the environment a...

Re: 29/12/2017 Forum Drama Resolution have fun storming the castle! ... we won't forget your noble sacrifice.

Re: 29/12/2017 Forum Drama Resolution As far as that goes: It looks more like he's throwing down the gauntlet and saying, "Prove to the staff that the forum problems can be laid at Sinny's feet, and we'll go with it; but otherwise, she'll be back." You know. Like, scienz, biatches.

Re: 29/12/2017 Forum Drama Resolution Some people have all the fun.

At college I would on occasion walk alone in the dark late at night down this old abandoned lane up on the hill. It was so dark sometimes you almost could not even tell where the road was and/or closing your eyes did not make much difference. Rather cool. Maybe that would a mercy, to escape...

What I like about mornings: If I start working between 6-8am, the workday goes by REALLY quick. And I can get a lot done in the morning. But if I sleep in until 10-11am, then the day is partly over / drags out. That being said, unfortunately I am a night person. And yeah, do not talk to me...

brief interlude back to the question at hand: ...Apparently it takes a hungry snot-nosed cat banging my floor length mirror against the wall repeatedly before 6am. (Little bastard.)

Virtual server deployment cannot be rushed.

A journal, some hand cream, a movie I already had, and a necklace. I expect my mom to give me money, which I'll save for furniture for my new house, but I won't see her until Friday. I had more fun finding presents for my kids, tbh. The new cars sound cool PMJ. I'm kind of stuck in my 2004...

Yup, and there the voting populace would have finally had an actual choice, where candidates lay out their rationale and why their framework would be more beneficial to the US in the long run, etc. It's not just the candidates, it's also a media system that (taken as a collective) increasingly...

yeah like what the fuck Wham is one of my high school bands. :( If Hall & Oates go next, I will not be very happy. GM and I are close enough in age too that we could ALMOST have gone to high school together. this is just freaky, at this point they don't know how he died other than that the...

Some of it is based on low-energy vs high-energy colors. I didn't find it very accurate.

People. Can't live with them, but on occasion they are nice to have around. I never got the sports games things. I probably went to more in high school band than I have ever gone to willingly as an adult.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah. You're screwed. Sorry. But hey, uh, merry xmas.

I grew up in a converted parsonage, and I could look out over the neighboring cemetery (with gravestones from the 1700's) on a moonlit night. I have no sympathy. :D I am watching Christmas Carol (1969) with the ghosts, and saw Scrooge pinching snuff. Do you guys do snuff over there?

oh, i am sure it is nothing. you'll be fine.

He obviously has some kind of time warping device, so you probably couldn't have tagged him anyway. ... maybe a big explosive net. Or a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. "Would you like to play a game, Santa?"...

Sorry I missed that earlier. That would be a painful situation to be in. I hope tomorrow goes better than you are expecting.

You @$$h@t$ It's only 7pm here and I am still wrapping presents. Who am I supposed to talk to now? Come on, you brits/scots, don't putz out on me now! ---- Random thought: Tonight was the first night I thought, "Hey, I should go to church for Christmas Eve just so I have an excuse to wear my...

I hope to god you weren't on forums.SesameStreet.com this time.

I generally do not do the things that I imagine that fit with what you're suggesting. However, I have these thoughts all the time. What I do is mention them, and then encourage others to do them instead while I lurk in the background and observe.

Starfish must be the chicken of the sea.

I don't know why they call it a blowjob, as there is no blowing involved. Life Wisdom #587: Some things in the world have been named by complete morons. Never judge a book by its cover. Unless of course it is a "Dummies" book or a romance novel.
