Hello! I'm back. And I need to procrastinate. The anxiety I feel about wanting my artistic commissions to be perfect dims in light of posting on this forum. I don't know if I'm right about any of this, by the way. Other people need to correct me if I'm wrong. So, with regard to the motion of...

Hello! I only had time for one. 1) Did you draw a freebody diagram? What principles are involved in a problem like this? [/SPOILER] [/SPOILER]

My nerdiness continues to expand, like space unhindered by the influence of the four fundamental forces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yis7GzlXNM

Re: What Gender Are You Internally? I think it might be because there are more male than female INTPs. Also, the wording won't allow me to feel comfortable responding. My sex is definitely female, but gender is a sort of vague idea to me. I also wonder if female INTPs leave online...

The iguana is beginning to like me. This is strangely satisfying. I'm surprised at how intelligent she appears. When we say her name, she turns her head. She doesn't turn her head when we don't use her name and use the "iguana" tone of voice. She recognizes each of us as separate beings with...

I totally want to read any book called Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. LOL!

Every time I look at your avatar, I want to reach into the screen and scratch his little cheeks until he purrs! Hee, hee, hee!

Ditto. Any math text book without an instructor standing by to help. I found my biology textbook difficult as well. I kept trying to understand certain terms as they were written and never got the help I needed to do so- especially the parts that talked about how food is turned into energy, and...

What do you think about online reviews of businesses? What will happen with these sorts of sites in the future? My own thoughts:

That was an interesting idea. I wouldn't think that a lack of weight assigned to the importance of faces would be the sole or even the main cause introversion though. That sounds more like autism. The INxx's I've met in real life are very good at reading facial expressions, and I have known a...

I don't think there's a satisfying way to measure intellectual ability. It can only be measured in relation to other people or other animals anyway and we're all really limited creatures. It would be nice if we could one day be able to artificially enhance our ability to process data; then all...

^In my opinion, that vlogger seems very INTP. I don't see her as being predominantly any of the other of the 16 types. Being an artist is a fundamental part of my own identity and I don't ever see that changing. I think all the intuitives are often quite artsy. Several artists I met are now...

These are all really good points. There's much to learn from people who are in the middle of being crazy, because it speaks to who we are as human beings. But after you have the basic tactics of human craziness figured out, it gets a little too obvious and repetitive and wastes time on stuff...

I test as a lot of different types (based on my career track, usually... I guess my personality tends to change a little around the profession I'm pursuing), but I relate mostly to INTP and INFP. Anytime I'm working on a business plan, I get INTJ, but that doesn't sound right. I believe I have...

LOL *reaches out to give Rook a reassuring pat on the head, but quickly withdraws, remembering how she almost lost her hand the last time* *gets out a clicker and starts clicking in a reassuring manner* Clickity-click! Clickity-click!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE8PTMSFMUg I need a parrot to cackle alongside me.

LOL! Thank you! This makes me smile.

Hmmm! Thanks for letting me know.

My college is really pushing us to use Linkedin. I forgot my password and Linkedin is asking for a photo ID in order to recover the account. I don't know what to think about that.

Is there a way to entirely block someone from both reading and responding to your posts? It seems as though the people on your ignore list can still see all your threads and posts and vice verse.

What are some of your opinions about Linkedin?

Um, I have tons of factual, scientific evidence that other people are the way I say they are because I feel like it's true despite what dozens of them are telling me about their lives, Mr. SAURIE. And I'm going to post another thread about it and another, and another until you get so sick of it...

An INFJ-INTP forum could be interesting... I very much enjoy the company of the INFJs I've met. I don't even mind the flamboyant hatred. It's extremely interesting and self-correcting most of the time. But it would be a much better in-person group. I don't know about the other NFs though. I...

I did it again! I missed the boat on the thing I wanted to wake up at 5 AM for... fortunately, when I discussed this problem with the volunteer coordinator, he seemed okay with my making some volunteer sessions and not others without being able to commit. I changed my morning classes to night...

Oh, sure! Let's see... terrible, terrible ideas... how about maintaining carefully selected, lactating harp seals which raise our babies under controlled conditions until our infants begin teething so that we can start evolving into mer-people? We could rotate the mother harp seals out when...

I want to pick up all the squirrels! I want one in each fist and I want to rub my cheeks with them! Squeeeeeeeeee!

LOL! Thanks. This stuff wasn't so bad though... I have time to fix these problems. I just need to roll around in my drama every now and then. :D The real drama will happen in late July, but the worst of this month is definitely forcing myself to wake up too early. I still can't believe it's not...

LOL I agree with Yellow. Trade school isn't a bad idea. I went to trade school before even considering a public university (and I don't regret going to that trade school, although I am not employed in that field and have ended up going back to school). Our late teens and early twenties seem...

Duuuuuude! Why would I have forgotten you screaming at me like an angry red giant so recently??? *sigh* Can I at least pretend to forget? Am I supposed to pretend to forget? Would this situation be much better if I successfully pretended to forget? :facepalm: I guess at my age, I've been through...

How do you come to realize when you have held a false notion, or really, really bad idea that just isn't going to lead up to what you had hoped for?

Hi- I vent on here all the time too. What has been happening that has you feeling as though you are failing college (something that almost everyone will feel at some point)?

What the hell am I doing. I'm never going to be able to pass all those classes. Why the hell am I finding chemistry so interesting right now? I used to hate chemistry. Has that changed? Why would that change? And why would I confine myself by thinking, "Oh, I don't like chemistry because I...

Vaping without nicotine- when do you think it will become safe? Will it ever become safe? I keep reading articles on the internet and hear little rumors on campus about how it is not safe and isn't likely to ever become safe. I watched a video in which a chemist did an experiment which ended up...

Do you guys have as hard a time waking up in the morning as I do? I feel like a piece of shit right now because I was 15 minutes too late to do some volunteer work I really wanted to do this morning. When I schedule something that is too early like this, I will literally sleep through any...

I also want to achieve a sense of mastery and joy in having concentrated on something for a very long time. I feel that way a little bit about some things, and it makes me happy. I'd like to deepen and broaden those experiences to the point of eliminating all insecurity (impossible, but that is...

I feel bad for your mother and for you as well since this sounds so painful, but at the same time, I have to wonder if your sister isn't tired of having grown up with an alcoholic family. Most of my working years have been spent in bars watching and caring about families in which one or another...

By the way- these are great. Thanks for sharing them. I'll also go back to seeing if I can read Russell's work sometime this summer (hopefully- I'm sure I don't have as much vacation time as I feel like I do).

Yes, do please let us know how it goes for you. I'd be very curious to hear about your experiences with it in the future. I find drawing out physics problems relaxing if, beforehand, I have invested myself in learning the necessary concepts which build up to the problem and let me solve it...

I find it so challenging to study math on my own without that rigid structure and reward/punishment system that school imposes. Studying math isn't like studying grammar or LSAT materials for me. I started looking into Russell, but I quickly started to fall asleep during all books/videos, etc. I...

I think this explains why the internet is the way it is sometimes...

You're so tall, Normann! :) Like TheManBeyond, I have never had an incredible amount of success with the gym- not without going regularly for years. I am definitely planning to diet and exercise again too. I heard that it's supposed to ward off depression by increasing seratonin levels, and...

I am having problems with feeling like the OP too now that it's summer and I have too much free time. I'm reviewing my grades and all the math classes I have left (math being something highly effortful for me) and I am freaking out about my grades- both what they are now and what they will...

Wow- I'm truly amazed that the cardboard cutout thing worked! Some of those director guys are so good at tricking people into believing things. Now, with something like "background artist," isn't it actually way, way cooler to say you were an extra? :confused:

Actually, I was just thinking about how many ExTJ friends I have. I've had some of them since I was 4 years old, and I'm still contented with those relationships. But yeah... there are ups and downs. The most essential element to these relationships working well for me is their ability to...

In real life, have you met others who were undeniably the same type or of a very similar type as you (e.g., the same four letters or one different letter, confirmed by either by testing or by regular contact lasting over two years)? In what ways did you differ from that individual? What do...

I agree that we end up acting in whatever way ends up being most efficient for us, and that we are organisms with wiring that differs a little bit from person to person (I strongly question free will), but although the above is a conceivable conclusion, I don't think it's likely that our...

I was setting up an experiment in which I would infuse the properties of a lobster that cause it to stop showing signs of aging with the properties of a human that cause his or her Telomeres to shorten. I couldn't find any test subjects. I was confident about my research, so I hooked up the...

I get really annoyed at words that turn extremely simple, humble jobs or simple concepts into unnecessary jargon. "Nail technician. Color technician. Licensed mixologist." What? You paint nails. You dye hair. You can pour alcohol into a glass. Just fucking say it! Who do you think you're...
