Visual cues aside, it seemed like what the male artist was describing was textbook Te. Organizing and perfecting an external system, like a painting, is extraverted thinking, as opposed to the INTP introverted thinking, which attempts to perfect and eliminate inconsistencies within one's thought...

The first one was actually borderline imaginative and and amusing. After that...crudely drawn rape and murder can be funny, but you have to actually have jokes. Otherwise you're just drawing people getting raped and murdered.

Perhaps. Arkansas public schools in general are pretty low on the national scale, but my particular school district was considered one of the best in the state. I never thought of my high school education as being high quality, but maybe it was better than average.

I remember that stuff from AP US History in public high school. Maybe it had something to do with growing up on the buckle of the Bible Belt.

That seemed really easy (32/32). The only questions a reasonably well-educated American might not know would be Maimonides, Jonathan Edwards if you didn't pay attention in US History, and maybe the one about which Christian sect believes in salvation through faith alone, if you were not a...

Ha. Meta-conspiracy.

It would be an interesting thought experiment to try to think of something that WBC wouldn't protest for being gay.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034314/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Synopsis: Nazis from the moon Got drunk and watched it on Netflix the other night. Yes, it was very bad, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. That is, I didn't expect to be able to watch the whole thing, but I did. Seen it? Thoughts?

I'm a big fan of Catan. I don't get to play it in person very often, and when I do, I tend to analyze the probabilities behind every decision to a much greater extent than everyone else, making it a little too easy to win. There's a free client for online play at http://www.playcatan.com/. It...

I'm not sure it's as complex as all that. I think overly happy (Fe) people just overload the INTP's capacity to deal with other people. It's just the nature of the introvert to lose energy through social interaction or just being around extroverted people. That's what it seems like in my case...

I don't like bubbly, overly enthusiastic happy people. But though I am not very emotional, I think I'm a reasonably happy person myself. Am I allowed to be an INTP and happy? Well, off I go to find the forum for introverts who aren't misanthropes.

I think I was twelve when I started playing guitar (I'm 25 now). Since school was not challenging whatsoever and I was too young (and nerdy) to have very much social life outside of school, I was able to really focus on practicing and learning how to play for a few years in a way that I wouldn't...

It's just that PGP is open software; if you're going to make something new, it would probably be based on the same principles that make PGP unbreakable. Kim Dotcom is an icon in the crypto-anarchy world. If it turns out to be a trap and he's been two-timing us with the US government this whole...

I thought encryption has been at a point for a good while where it is a pretty simple matter to create an encryption key that is practically unbreakable. Practically unbreakable as in breakable, but it would take many generations of lifetimes to do so with modern computing power. I mean...

Yeah, I live in Fayetteville. I recently came back to school for an engineering degree.

Do you still live in Fayetteville? I actually graduated from UA with an Anthropology BA in 2010.

I would consider it justifiable threadicide. That thread needed to die. Though I will point out that Solitaire U. was able to easily the thread even without the use of an assault weapon, therefore weakening the argument in favor of a ban.

Why does it matter who said it anyway? As if Thomas Jefferson were almighty Jesus Christ, sole giver of truth and law. You might as well attribute it to snafupants if you want. It's a valid and pertinent statement, and whether some slave-fucking asshole said it 200 years ago doesn't lend it any...

Tropico 4 (PC). Heck of a fun strategy game, if kind of easy. Gameplay is sort of like goal-oriented SimCity with political elements. More SimCity than Civilization, but almost as addictive as the latter. 8/10 in comparison to other strategy games. I just finished the (original) Black Ops...

Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting...yes, I have a serious man-crush on Paul Newman. And those are not just my favorite old movies, but some of my favorite movies of all time. Prime examples of the saying, "they don't make them like they used to."

I was referring to when Gandalf is talking to her alone. He lowers his eyes, and when he looks up, she is gone. I just found that dumb and cliched. I did not recall the scene you described where the elves communicate voicelessly. If that is so, then I guess the telepathy part is a good...

I actually really liked the movie for the most part. There were a few things I didn't like, but most of it was good. The main thing that detracted from my enjoyment of it was the length, but any movie over about two hours will have me getting restless, especially in the theater. Stuff I...

Maybe; I mean, they were small children packed into classrooms. But look at it this way: Maybe he couldn't have killed 12 people, but he probably could have killed five or six. He definitely could have killed one. What is the precise number of people a weapon must be capable of killing for that...

That is not at all what I have argued. I have argued that I don't NEED an argument AGAINST gun control; you need one FOR it. While there are pretty good arguments for gun control, I do not find them compelling enough to justify restricting the rights of decent, law-abiding people. I think you...

In American society, this is not an unusual opinion at all, particularly regarding guns. What you meant is that my opinion doesn't reflect yours. It's not like the overwhelming majority agrees with you and not me. Yes. There is nothing wrong with owning a gun. It is generally wrong to hurt or...

If they are allowed, I can have one. If they are disallowed, I no longer have the option of having one. How is that not a restriction of freedom? I think you meant that it is a restriction of freedom that you are OK with. The fact that it is done in other countries does not make it right. My...

I agree with you. I meant all that about the right to own something regardless of its usefulness as more of a universal, natural right that every person should have, not a right necessarily guaranteed by the government. It was a philosophical argument, not a legal one. I've never heard of a...

You're misconstruing what I said; it had nothing to do with breaking the law. Previous posters said that firearms should be banned because they are not effective at their intended purpose, whether it be self-defense, protection from tyranny, or whatever. I said that you do not have to...

Also, just because you or anyone else doesn't "see the need" to own something doesn't mean you can just ban it. Every post in here is still about whether guns are effective or ineffective at something; like I said before, a thing's utility or effectiveness at any purpose is completely irrelevant...

Which of these guns should be banned? They are both self-loading, meaning that they fire a round every time the trigger is pulled, until the magazine runs out of ammunition. Neither one has a fully automatic or burst fire mode. Both fire a round powerful enough to easily kill a human being...

I really hate any argument for gun rights that attempts to demonstrate why we need them (self-defense, safeguard against tyranny, etc.). You shouldn't need to demonstrate an object's utility just to have the right to own it.

If I put in something like a blog post, it will invariably turn up Cory Doctorow. From stuff that is more representative of the way I usually write, I got H.P. Lovecraft twice and Kurt Vonnegut and Dan Brown once each. It does seem to be keyword-based, but either way, all of you people...

Is this still around?

What kinds of hobbies or activities do you partake in that involve making or building things? I like to work with my hands, and I'd like to try a new a hobby. In the past, I've done stuff like woodworking and diy things around the house, but the place I live now doesn't really give me the...

"Knock knock." "Who's there?" "...Go fuck yourself."

Coming back to this thread now that I have read past the events in the series, I have to point out that the books are not nearly as explicit as they are made out to be. Most of the sex, if not the violence, is indirectly, not graphically described, in the writing. A lot of the "gritty" scenes...

Working my way through the Song of Ice and Fire series. I'm somewhere in the second book, but it's hard to tell how far, because I'm reading on a Kindle, and it's one big e-book containing the first four books. The first book was better than the second, but it's still a fun read. I think I'm...

Oh, I heard about that one, but couldn't find much information about it. Isn't it German, or from somewhere else in Central Europe? Looks interesting, to say the least.

I'm a sucker for girls who smoke cigarettes while singing in Swedish. Would have liked some more piano, though. 8/10 I should preface this by saying that I'm not listening to it by choice; it's just what's been coming from my neighbor's apartment over and over...

This should be the official movie scene of INTPs: The Big Lebowski: Gutterballs The Royal Tenenbaums: Richie Tenenbaum suicide scene Pan's Labyrinth: The Pale Man

Skyfall, The Hobbit, Men in Black 3, Bourne Legacy, the eventual Arrested Development movie, and the new Pixar film, Brave.

One interesting thing I can remember is that I would get out five or six board games, lay out all the boards next to each other in a way they could connect, took all the playing pieces and made up my own game and made my little brother play it with me. Since there were so many pieces and just...

And we feast on that crap. I don't know about you, but I saw all three prequels in the theater, even knowing after the first one that they would suck. I guess he's doing it right.

I think what someone said about Star Wars before--that the prequels had a more interesting plot--is essentially true, but to me, this is what made the prequels so bad. Those movies tried to make Star Wars into a drama with political intrigue and dynamic characters and relationships. Normally...

GT bikes are awesome value. I got one for about $400 a few years ago, but without rear suspension. Upgrading to the next model up with full suspension would probably have been another $100-150. It was a really great bike, regardless. I punished that thing regularly for about three years, and...

Also, I think the show's portrayal of Littlefinger is good enough. I don't find him unlikable. In fact, I thought he was one of the more likable characters in the first few episodes. Actually, it seems to me that the portrayal of Tyrion has the biggest discrepancy with the books (keep in mind, I...

Nah, everyone has seen sex and violence over and over again in movies and on TV. It's not that bold; it doesn't give it credibility. Implied sex and gore can be just as powerful as actually showing it, or more so. It usually doesn't really make a difference whether it is shown or not; it's how...

Not that I disagree with you, but I think the Star Wars prequels and Twilight are generally recognized (by people with taste) to be shit, so I wouldn't consider them "overrated." Pirates of the Caribbean, yes. Lord of the Rings--I think it's hard to argue that they weren't extraordinarily well...

A 90s Hollywood gay blowjob, you mean. I don't have any problems with homosexuality, but that movie is extraordinarily gay. It's just funny to me that the people who like it tend to be the macho, manly, homophobic types, and they don't even realize how unbelievably gay Top Gun is.
