Now, from a purely judicial point of view: Do you incur a penalty if you try and manage to save somebody from suicide through bodily force? I suspect that the person can't do anything if s/he didn't resist. But nevermind, I'm looking it up now. EDIT

Reminds me of one episode of The Big Bang Theory. *Sheldon is building a model of DNA. Mrs Cooper: Oh, well that looks awful fancy, what is that? Sheldon: It’s my idea of what DNA would look like in a silicon based life form. Mrs Cooper: But intelligently designed by a creator, right...

Hmm... Yeah, now that you say it, pure optimism doesn't seem like the best solution either. Also, I can't tell you of anyone I know personally off the top of my head, who is a complete optimist or pessimist. It seems for psychic and physical health/well-being a moderated viewpoint is to be...

Ummm... Could you please say whether this conclusion: "So, misanthropy is good, because it means you expect absolutely nothing from people, and because you are constantly proven wrong, you are surprised and happy?" is correct or not? Thank you.

Cory, as far as I can tell, Cog isn't really a misanthrope (as of yet). He was just theorizing about it and found it fascinating, therefor he is sharing it with us.:kilroy:

And here they come! Oh shit, wait. Here's the actual parade you wanted. Amidoinitrite?

So, misanthropy is good, because it means you expect absolutely nothing from people, and because you are constantly proven wrong, you are surprised and happy? I've had similar thoughts following a TED video about why we're not happier with a larger variety of products. One reason is, if for...

Interesting, that you consider the Ego to be the "I", because the literal translation from German to English for Id, Ego and SuperEgo are it (although the analogous pronounciation by Freud would be eet), I and over-I (or upper-I. Now to get things clear: It is also unconcious, therefor...

Actually kind of a middle thing. I myself tend to believe that it doesn't mean that I'm smart/that's not why I'm smart, but I know that for many others that's exactly (part of) the definition of smart. That's why I formulated it the way I did.

On 4chan House is always typed as INTJ. Just putting it here, not claiming any truth on it, since I haven't seen one episode as of yet.

You know you're an INTP when you think getting ideas quickly doesn't mean you're smart.

I have a similar issue, but I think it's not as extreme as yours. Our house was built during WWII in Germany, so it's badly isolated and really drafty. So whenever somebody doesn't close a door the room will get cold really quickly. I have little problems with cold rooms but I seem to be really...

I don't think this has anything to do with MBTI type.

...you don't solve the easiest problem in a math test because you were really tired and bored. Although to be fair, I thought I couldn't solve it, at least not without considerable effort, because I hadn't learnt everything. My teacher kind of freaked out, that I didn't do the problem and...

All threads with all posts older than 2 years should be closed from now on... :pueh:

It's an Incredibly Lame Pun. Well sort of.

Actually they do grow on trees, INFP trees are just very scarce. Or: It's not as if an INFP child will stop growing once it climbs on a tree. wat r u tawkin about?

I seem unable to have more than one interest at a time over a longer period. It's either INTPforum or tvtropes or TED or some online game or something else. Of course I sometimes get caught in a wiki walk or am fascinated by some particular website. But that only lasts for a few hours and then...

Cookie Dinner Time!! :dinnerinthesky:

Toward the bottom, you are pessimistic, and have a tendency to behave negatively. Not really. Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays, etc.) Not really. With few details, you are emotional and naive, they care little for details and are a risk-taker...

I partly disagree. A human develops over many years, wheras a robot is usually expected to function from one day to the next. A child's appreciation for music is different than that of an adult's, which again is different from an old person. And then what we like today differs from what we liked...

You think this is as low as we can get?!

Well, was stalking shoeless on the photo thread earlier :o and found out, that she's on the high school on the military base where her father is stationed... Because she once mentioned, that she's not so good at German, I assumed she was already older and in some other kind of education. But...

shoeless, do I understand correctly, that you are on an american high school in your last year in Germany?

we even have :yaoi:

Emphasis is on "once were".

I don't do Thanksgiving here in Germany.

Gunther von Hagens did this.

And here I was thinking we would be discussing plot holes... :( EDIT: seriously, no sad smilie?

I'm shit-ass confident when drunk...:cool::o

That reminds me of another story I once read, Meathouse Man by George R.R. Martin. It's based in a world where prisoners of war undergo some brain surgery or something, so that they are just a lifeless corpse so to speak with just the vegetational functions intact. Then there are some people...

There is still hope for the paralyzed!! Maybe? Not meaning to step to close here, but do you think the bodily reaction in your private parts was essential to coming, or would it also work, if they were anesthesized? It's usually concrete, I'm not sure what you mean with "concept of a woman"...

mind=blown

Everything in my life is wrong...:storks:

I was actually talking about the group with 22 members (Link) where nothing at all is going on...

Yeah, I also usually leave when I do.

Especially after watching the film...

Curse the Pness!! That's a matter of a couple of minutes!! :storks:

So, if that had been an IQ test you could go to Mensa...

We actually have a facebook group. Just saying... Also, for long distance: skype?

One inactive member from here is a lot into NaNoWriMo, saffyangelis. AFAIK last year she wrote 75k words or so... I tried it myself and failed miserably...:o

Wait, what? Where are you from?

You can do that with Google Earth/Maps(?) quite easily...

Hmyeah, I don't even do the assignments on the subjects that interest me...

It's better without the video...

Ergo not Post Cyber Punk. More like Punk Post Cyber Punk, or Post Cyber Punk Dystopia...

How many works of that genre actually exist? It seems more like an exception than the rule (i.e. subversion of the City Noir trope). Also, while the Matrix itself is sunny the real world is cold and dark...

Machete Bloody, sexy and hilarious. :smiley_emoticons_mr

Cyber Punk Dystopia?

Another trait that crossed my mind today: Generosity
