@Reluctantly - Feelings can be motivators. But my point is that can logic not be a motivator without the need for emotion? It's a motivator people often rely upon, but is it necessary? @Cogs - Is a need for something an emotion? Hunger is a physical feeling and I don't classify it as an...

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not effeminate, either. I have several other typically male interests and characteristics. Such as my inability to share emotions with people in RL, I enjoy computer gaming and, although I find watching any team sports to be as interesting as paint drying, an...

Earlier today, I had a long and drawn out debate with an INFP on this subject. The ISTJ present, when asked for his opinion, replied, "that's the kind of question you'd get at on a final university exam. You can't just answer that." Although, half an hour of thought later he came to the...

I scored 15. No more or less psychopathic than most people. Given my tendency to engage in human experimentation, it may in fact be higher in reality. When I've done more professional tests for psychopathic tenancies, I've scored fairly low overall. Though unfortunately, low empathy and...

I've been thinking about this issue lately also, given recent elections and the social media activity I've seen. It's what prompted me to be wondering about the freedom of speech issue and how it relates - I'm just not very good at explaining 3 hours of thought into a post. I can't speak for...

I will agree with you on the hateful and riotous speech. And I guess Hitler's Rallies were a poor example - that whole situation was a product of extreme circumstances of the time. And I guess the idea of halting such gatherings does sound like rather tyrannical attitude. I was just thinking of...

While everyone should be free from violence and discrimination (to a realistic level), I think freedom from offence is an absurd extreme. People do become far too easily offended by almost anything these days. I saw headline last week that a Walking Dead t-shirt was taken off the shelves at a...

Can I keep the $2k for PC upgrades? If not, then I guess I'll have to answer. And by the way, Yellow, I first saw this last night when I quickly checked my social medias etc before bed, and ended up laying awake for an hour contemplating this. So thank you for that. Anyway, here's a summary of...

Being a perceiver type doesn't mean you have no goals or drive. I am absolutely a p-type. I'm also extremely untidy and disorganised, but I'm never static exactly. I currently have a number of goals and life improving projects in progress; mainly fitness, I'm learning hair styling off from the...

Perhaps if you can't figure it out by using the rather abstract functions (since you can end up going round in circles with Ne, Ni, Ti, Si, Se, SXi, TDi, 1.8 CD-TDI...), you could try using a blunter instrument and boil it down to it's simpler form. Introvert or Extrovert? Intuitive or Sensory...

Do you ever wonder if time truly has to be the 4th dimension? We witness time unfolding as it expands along with the first 3 visible dimensions. But what if there are others? Imagine beings that existed within a 2 dimensional world. What would they think if you placed your hand within their...

Well, as I've mentioned before, I'm quite into my fitness these days. It wasn't always the case, and during my last visit here I had temporarily ceased due to non-training related injury. But am now back to it, though spending only around two and half hours each week training in my home gym (at...

Well, first of all, what exactly is time? People have been saying to me for years that time doesn't really exist. It is but a concept we have created that no other life form lives by. We invented clocks and labelled time with hours to organise our day. But surely that's just a measurement of...

Maths is a wonderful thing. I believe it's one of the few universal truths that truly exist. I see it as being a fundamental concept that is all around me and explains the world in which I find myself. Something that makes sense in a world that often doesn't. It doesn't matter whether you call...

I had noticed a decline in activity.But if you look at the history at the bottom of the main forum index, you can see this is nothing new. Active users have been steadily declining for the last 4 years. But if that's how everyone likes it, that's fine by me right now.

Regarding Beebe's model of the 8 functions - it seems to me to be a very complex way of explaining the most rudimentary fact about all introverts and extroverts: that introverts gain energy through introversion, and expel energy from extroversion. Whereas our 4 primary functions come naturally...

Hello again to you, too. I returned for a little lurking and to find out what had become of the place, where I discovered questions regarding over my mortality and thought I'd prove I indeed still lived. Certainly won't be nearly as active as last time, but the odd post here and there won't hurt...

I believe what he refers to is one take, albeit a poor one in my mind, of a concept I have been pondering greatly since my last visit here. The concept of the actualisation of the INTP. Allow me to pose a question - how many INTP's does it take to screw in a light bulb? It doesn't matter how...

I had coffee making machine, a VR attachment for my phone that the kids will probably enjoy playing with, some toiletries, hoodie and some t-shirts. And some socks. I too bought a car a month ago for myself that I'm classing as my XMas present to myself.

Probably not. Anyone who enters a debate has already made up their mind. If it's a calmdiscus, then yes. But once it becomes a debate, never have I seen someone change their mind. I think saw a study once that showed debating on the internet actually reinforces people's preset beliefs, which...

I'm cold. My head hurts and I realised this settee was uncomfortable when I woke up. I need bacon.

Honestly, we're just friends.

God I love this girl.

We're comparing our naked bodies now. Now how she not have a stretch mark anywhere? After 3 kids, kind? WTF? I can stills see the muscular.

(ignores that worthless pile of crap that is SconredRelflex) I don't know, I was with Beastie at the time. I used to really like her. But now we're just besties, like. But we're discussing that night hahahahahaha! Anyway, yeah.

Yeah, vodka makes me loosen up a bit. Oh well, vodka down. Now we seem to be mixing it with bucks fizz.

Yeah, I'm allergic to weed. I just hadn't smoked it for 10 years and tried to keep up with my old self. Honestly, I take am a fucked up person. Is it any wonder, though? I mean, fuck, I'm not explaining that shit openly.

ROFL - you sent me on a serious paranoia last time with that. Haha. Nah - drugs produce unexpected results with me. I'm probably just a fucked up person.

Can't disagree, really. But I must ask - there's a road near me that a lot of people are afraid to use. Because it's such an accident black spot. We're you born on the road? Because I can't imagine a more tragic accident than your birth.

As for the legover - how on coke? Give me that shit, and I may think I'm indestructible but I have absolutely no desire to sleep with anyone. I don't think it would be possible.

I know that feeling - last week we.got to round 7 and everyone was mashed. Good god, I was just getting started. I was sober - just excusing my shitty weed resistance these days. Looks like we're watching the EastEnders Christmas Special. But aside from Dots immortality, I don't think I've...

Sounds like deep shit. But doesn't that apply to everyone? Like those ones that appeal to what everyone feels beneath, like. I left the ice to defrost.

Half a litre of vodka has transpired so far. We're brightening up and sniffing candles. I have my own set for her house - but I can't remember which ones are which. What's everyone else up to on this hallowed night? I'm realising how hungry I am now. The lemonade will run out soon and we'll...

I hope you guys can keep me company later - my drinking partner for tonight went a little heavy last night and it doesn't look like this isn't gonna be a late one. And there I was bringing Whiskey, Vodka and tequila thinking there'd be 3 of us.

I waited until I had parked to post. I have some level of survival instinct. I never use a phone while driving. Unless you count SatNav, music and when it's connected to com and someone calls (which doesn't happen often.)

The reviews said this car is sluggish up hills. But I was just doing a tonne uphill in 6th easy without flooring it. What were they expecting?

Evesham. So far enough away to not threaten a visit lol. The Midlands is a big place.

Hmm. I've agreed to go to a New Years Eve dinner with the XW's distant family who won't speak to her anymore so that the kids can see their cousins, which they don't get to these days. Which involves a couple of hours drive to the Midlands. Shouldn't in any way be uncomfortable .

It's so flat. No real hills. I will show you the landscape he based it on when it's light tomorrow. Hey, you might even get to see and cross them next year .

I noticed him log in and hover for a while before disappearing. It's not the first time - maybe he has plans for Xmas day.

For some reason, I felt quite certain you had gotten away and was OK. Despite the fact that the others said your fate was obvious. I don't usually remember them very often. This week, I've had 4 very vivid dreams. I thought I'd post those two as forum members made guest appearances, which was...

Last night's would have made a premise for an interesting horror movie. I'm on holiday at a park somewhat similar to Butlins. But there are a lot more outdoor pools all over the place. And there in less the problem. As the sun starts to go down, we notice faces in the water reminiscent of the...

Lol. I hope they weren't serious. Should try this Millionaires Cake. I can't describe it; it's so lush. I'm going to explode, though, so I can't eat it. I'm nicely home, now. The spy drone and robot dogs appear to be good presents. Hour's chill. Possibly shower. (Sniffs self) Definitely...

They just start fussing and be asking what's wrong and it's just easier to be polite. And I had to get yet another round of, "ooh, what's going on with this friend of yours, then?" Oh dear. Yes, I am spending the night getting drunk with a girl. No, nothing intimate is going to occur and I am...

What excuses do you use to leave a family gathering? Other than, "I'm really bored now. And I want to go and play with my new coffee machine." People are weird. They've been accosting me with, "without the kids tomorrow you'll be all alone. Why don't you come with us to stand in the cold and...

Crazy. Family, eh? No drama at all here, this year. Quite a dull end to an interesting year. Drunken stupor contest tonight?

And I may have fannied out last night; but I will be fully mojo'd and for tonight's escapades. Anyone else got some after Christmas partying on? I very much doubt my drinking partner will last very long tonight.

I take it you are not spending Christmas at home, then. How is Christmas?

I was munching on Christmas dinner and wondered - what must the death toll be by now? How many pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, fish and whatever else have I consumed entirely? It's probably quite a lot by now.

Tuesday onwards for me. Anytime then.
