This is such a classic, I like the whole genre of "oblivion npc dialogue". It shows funny clips from irl with the morrowind game overlay. I like hidden references to in-game stuff or how the meaning of irl events is enhanced and contextualized in games. It's just ridiculous how an over the top...

Great game. Sometimes I play Dwarf Fortress, Distant Worlds:Universe or Star Ruler 2, though I rarely have the time. Played some competitive LoL with my favorite human, but we decided to quit because it was toxic, imbalanced, shallow and ugly looking. We also play Overwatch which is a lot...

I'm not talking about you. I'm saying that everyone falls into one of the 4 baskets, sometimes they're ona transition from one to another. It's toxic if it attacks other people, silences them or harms them. Alloted space is the space you get to say what you think, overstepping your space is...

It's not Orwellian and I'm not contradicting myself. I don't hate anyone. I'm saying that people with strong identity cause issues when they clash with other identity. If I'm not making sense then that's because I try to communicate thoughts that are new to me in as little time possible and...

Nah, I think camping is a feature of the game. If someone wants to camp, let them. BUT it shouldn't be too strong compared to rushing or other play styles. There shouldn't be a ban to camping just because there's a consensus of 95% of players that they hate it. The games I enjoy the most allow...

I think the problem with the toxicity in people is that majority of them are still attached to inflexible forms of identity. People are too dumb or narrow-minded to view the world in relative or pluralistic terms. They think my religion, my nation, my gender, my sexual orientation, my...

I can wholeheartedly recommend Spyderco tri. It's been in my family since I can remember and it's amazing. I've been using it to sharpen my chainsaws and halberds since the war of the roses. It's not only done brilliantly in terms of sharpening my tool, but it has also sharpened my intellect...

I will reply as a hyper-ironic non-ironic extremely prejudiced male self-identified SJW ally who lives with a female and knows female problems. Being non-male sucks. It means that you're never the target demographic for the mainstream. You like video games? I guess you have to like playing...

Good luck dood ;)

@scorpiomover It would be helpful to look at wealth brackets. Top earners are usually CEO's with leadership and concrete oriented roles which favors Sensing and Extraversion. What about high earning specialists, artists, medium entrepreneurs? We should look at top income, high income, medium...

You raise an interesting point about agreeableness. But can you show that NJ's are more agreeable or less conscientious? 1.Let's look at wealth as a cognitive task and leadership task both. I'd argue that wealth is one of the metrics of success but not everything. 2. How can you be certain that...

Yeah, it's a distilled 100% hyperrealistic drama. Tension layered upon tension without rhyme or reason. That's increasingly common in generic art, removing all of the supporting elements of the story and generating more of the emotional drug that gets people hooked, in this case it's tension...

Squid Game was terrible. Sexual objectification of women, selfish loser characters, dumb materialistic goals, dumb graphic violence, stupid predictable plot, bad music, boring set design. Stopped watching after 3 episodes. I guess the show might have appeared novel to someone who has never read...

@BurnedOut You gotta get more fuel before you start the engine. Are you going to manage 10 users? There's nothing to manage. You're not gonna get more output from the people that are here by having structure. Find more users then there's going to be something to work with. At this time you...

It's more often the case that mods left because they were too tired dealing with bitchy, obnoxious users. I think Adaire left quite recently out of frustration if I can take a guess. Moderating a bunch of caustic, argumentative nerds that act like 5 year olds when they throw a fit or question...

Why nobody listen to a horse? End is neigh! A bringer of eschaton was riding on my back so I threw him off, but there's more of them. Humians unite with horse to fight leviathan. Nobody listen when I neigh.

Russia is wretched, corrupt and evil they worship satan and use his son to bring about apocalypse1!!@1!! end times are neigh neeeeeighhh!

Does a drop in literacy correlate with a decrease in cognitive ability? Maybe the modern world is becoming so much easier to navigate that less general knowledge and less vocabulary is sufficient to do everything that needs to be done every day. Efficient, succinct use of simple or abbreviated...

Current users 4 and 50 guests (10 of those guests are bots and crawlers). I don't think this number of visitors is a significant upkeep cost. The traffic intpf is getting is probably within the lowest hosting plan and Ragnar doesn't pay premiums on excess traffic. It's in the nature of highly...

I do, when I take it easy on you :D

There's research showing that all BIG 5 traits and IQ play a role in professional success or other measures of success. All personality traits affect success. IQ is negatively correlated with Conscientiousness, the smarter you are the lazier, less resilient and more disorganized you generally...

I enjoy reading your writing related threads :) Sometimes a story is just a vehicle for displaying interesting characters and their reactions to relatable or completely absurd situations that don't connect in a meaningful way. At other times a story can be a symmetric art of nice form and...

Cool folk song

Ascribed vs achieved status. Domains like philosophy, individual views or spirituality leave no room for authority, there can be none. In domains where I'm not an expert I carefully rely on others for help, but judge if their decisions make sense. I respect no authority in areas of my work, I...

Your first goal should be not having a desire to fuck lurk in your subconscious. It's giga creepy to want to reproduce in the absence of the whole environment to support that dream. I don't know you, but people who mention reproduction as top of their value system are often in a dramatic...

Epic and cinematic mood boost when I need to appreciate freedom and beauty

The problem with tests that have no grounding in research is that they're going to classify things that don't exist. If you get people to do this or any test few of them will question whether the test and what it describes makes sense. When people do any kind of test they invariably use...

Recently considered this for a while and made a thread on "my own personality theory". In there I'm making a hypothesis that everyone is all mbti personalities all at once and certain situations and environment shapes which personality gets expressed at that point. INTP could have tested as...

Started playing chess at age 5 and I was reading books around that age too so it's safe bet I was a thinker from as early as I remember. I was explaining the big bang to children in the sandbox at age 6, no kidding. Must've been weird. In hindsight I'd ask them to play hide and seek if I could...

You probably know this but if it's any serious health issue and you're not convinced by what the doc is saying then it's best to try another doctor or two and compare their opinions. If two evaluations are similar then they're on to something, if they disagree then you've got to keep looking...

I mean this is going on in all creative areas. As one example check out AI dungeon, GPT-3/4 can generate original-fake novels, research articles and ghost stories. It's invariably going to include all the biases of the works it copies from. Though racist and other words can be removed from the...

Zen, we all know that your one liners are super hella smart and you're able to summarize everything in a single word, but people here are talking about things that are often important to them or at least need a deeper zen insight than is achievable in one sentence. Can you hold yourself to one...

Character traits or profiling? Traits need more time to confirm, profiling says more early on. It's mostly unconscious judgment for me. I don't care much beyond confirming that they are not a threat and their goals are benign. Besides what others had already said people are often defined by the...

Seems to me like it's generally possible to frame and align goals with one's values. I'd say that I rejected a few tasks already. Would need to be more specific to consider case by case. I'm kind of the opposite headed kind of guy. Aesthetics and motivations stay and I align my goals to reflect...

I think low Fi is a bigger cause of social blunders than Fe. Intps have way shittier Fi than even their Fe. Or to put it differently, people who identify as XXTX thinkers, INTP included, tend to block off their emotions or limit the degree to which their decisions and words are dictated by their...

I could make a set of questions, package it into a book and call it a day, but the cool thing about making this is comparing it to other systems and seeing what they lack and what mine is missing. It says more about what actually matters in a personality. Doing it rigorously would require...

Some cool shadow related words: Albedo, Penumbra, prefix-Umbra (Antumbra), Terminator and Occlusion. One could spend hours talking about surface reflective indexes, unreflective bodies and shadow stuff so I'll just stick to basic OP. A shadow cuts a generally conical hole in the uniform field...

Isn't this the David Fravor controversy? You can hear the US navy pilot who witnessed this stuff describe the whole situation very calmly and clearly here: Highly recommended just for entertainment value and listening to a wholesome guy talk about his work. They also show the video of the UFO...

What are the personality variables: - Emotional participation (Emotional sensitivity and expressiveness, priority of emotions over other input) - Harm Avoidance (The degree to which an individual avoids danger, stress, shame and their survival instinct) - Extrinsic motivation (The degree of...

Can we at least like sponsor you a Crunchyroll subscription or you're not interested in anime? Just post a paypal link. Do you have a computer or internet bandwidth to watch stuff?

Elon Musk is literally a trending cryptocurrency in human form. You are either an early adopter and you exit his stocks with a profit, or you are a late adopter and sink with his ship or you are just stuck there transfixed by the phenomenon. I wonder how much hype around Elon is spinned by the...

Yeah I know I know. You're right Mr. Daddy.

It's a win-win strategy for Musk. His announcement increased the price of shares so either he gets full control over twitter or he sells all his shares with a profit and dumps on them all for rejecting. Depends on how much he paid for the 9% stake, he won't dump his position at a loss so he will...

Oh and before someone comes in and says that video games are only challenging in multiplayer pvp, that's nonsense. Playing a singleplayer roguelike game or with a roguelike mindset or going to the extreme and deleting your own saves is a PvP game. You vs the game designer (level designer...
