I usually listen to: NPR On-Point This American Life Get in two or three 1 hour shows and the day goes by fast.

It's just like finding out Bruce Wayne was Batman all along. -------- I think it could be because males who frequent forums ones who have a social stigma applied to them - "nerd", "outcast", "anti-social", etc etc... So when a girl pops online its like 'holy shit a chance for some...

you dun goofd

I think Da Blob is spot on. Compromise carries with it a sense of expectation: "If I do this for you, what will you do for me?" Love means you adapt without expectation.

Getting there...

I've always enjoyed science-fiction. So here is "The Last Question" by Asimov

Did you hear the one about the cannibal who dumped his girlfriend?

NinjaSurfer : Yea I know females to be all about their appearance and get mad if some other female is dressed the same way. What I was getting at is how can she justify the anger when she shopped at a place (like Abercrombie) that sells so many of the same outfit. As RedBaron mentions...

Seems there is a whole wikipedia page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-justification

Last night, I was marveling at how this woman got upset because some other girl was wearing the same outfit as her. It is obvious that they picked their outfit from a manikin or a magazine saying that this is what's in. I am not amazed at the fact that she got mad but, at the fact that she...

Good one

Wait a minute... You played xbox with him and your name is xbox? Well no wonder. Is 'playing xbox' what the kids are calling it these days? ;) but yea what SpaceYeti said. I can remember harboring hope for a girl who turned me down. It resulted in some of the worst times in my life. So, if...

I'm using spoilers so people can skip over these posts if they want to stay on the OP. Grove:

A Dance with Dragons (#5 Song of Fire and Ice) Natural Capitalism The Prize: The Epic Quest for Money, Oil, and Power

Yea if you believe in child abuse I guess it does. "How is it child abuse?" you ask. Adoption by "non-traditional" couples attempts to legitimizes hedonism in a way that only a natural coupling can. Only male-female couplings (for humans) can bring new life into the world. These...

Sorry mom, you won't be getting any grand kids because as it turns out Rhonda used to actually be Ron.

Oh this thread. :rolleyes:

Professors aren't usually very practical. What they work on and do can be far removed from what typically goes on in the everyday world. Everybody can't make money doing research. Maybe your definition of power engineer is different than mine. It's seems that you are thinking of it beyond the...

I'd like to get into power engineering.... more of the fluids and thermo side than the electrical. I'm sure there is a deficit of experienced power engineers - I don't think the demand for newbies like me is very high. I have recently graduated with a bachelors in mechanical engineering.

I'm working on it right now. It's quite enjoyable. I like the concept that people have different degrees of sensitivity to external stimulation. To me this is a spot on observation. The more "introverted" one is the more reactive they are. I finally feel like I understand the reason for my...

Yea!! Porters and Stouts good stuff. I notice you are in the Northwest- how do you like Deschutes? Their porter is my one of my favorites.

Not a fan of pickup. I am a fan of being real. I do like analyzing social dynamics. One of my favorite things to do. I don't get why people need somebody else to tell them its ok to be yourself. Just do it. Don't fake it. Don't hide. Just be your real self.

I agree with all of the above. If I do these things it's like pulling teeth. Makes me anxious. I do find that if I don't think about it so much it's not so bad. And ALWAYS afterwards I think, "gee that wasn't so bad. what was I anxious about again?" -I don't like having people over to mess...

See the thing about finding what you want is that nobody can do it for you. If you are not happy where you are it is fully within your power to: A) Do something about your external situation. B) Do something about your internal situation. There's no single answer, rather 7 billion...

Iron Sky - It's a comedy/action/sci-fi about nazis who set up a base on the darkside of the moon and come back in 2018. The state side release date is currently in the works.

Sit down and figure out what you want in life, then do it. Yep its that simple. Easy on the other hand... So what makes you truly happy? (assuming of course happiness is what you want) Money? A woman? A cat? A woman dressed as a cat that has lots of money? Money? Ok, do you want to be a...

^ Good point. Old Biff would return back to the same time. Marty would have stolen the almanac before old Biff got back. (But then how are Marty and Doc able to go to the timeline which Biff is rich?):storks: Maybe the timeline goes for a loop like a roller coaster instead of a straight...

From the store of course. I hear they are half off this time of year. Also I want to man the torpedos in the submarine.

I used to like the smell of gasoline and tar. Until one day I walked by a freshly sealed driveway when i was younger ~10 or so. I took a deep wiff of the fumes coming off and I got a headache so bad that I swore I would never do it again. I haven't. Gasoline now smells like a headache waiting...

I found a seagull flying over the bay. What could this mean?

I bought a bottle of Jack Daniels. Don't you ever do that. I mean it. Jack Daniels is the worst. Gives you terrible gut rot. Seriously. Don't.

I also uninstalled my games to focus on real world stuff. The first couple days I was going through some nasty withdrawal just like quitting damn cigarettes. It definitely got to the point of where I would skip out on doing real world stuff for the video game world.

I read somewhere that there are still another 2 books that the author needs to write to finish the series. They do end in cliffhangers unfortunately. Ptah, maybe the show is that way but, I haven't seen it. Gotta give what the audience wants I suppose. The books are different. There's a reason...

I just finished book 3. They have all been good. I agree that there is something very similar between Dune and Game of Thrones. It's always been strange to me when people read/watch fantasy and say, "oh that's just too unbelievable." Fantasy has to be taken for what it is. The author has a...

i must admit cocoa pebbles or fruity pebbles instead of rice crispies sounds really good.

My grandma lost her cat a couple weeks ago can you check if its in there? Grandma will make you 2 apple pies and knit you your choice of a wolf or eagle sweater. The cat answers to Snickers.

http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=4139 There was this thread posted a while back. It looks like the types are the same... probably the same source. The consensus on that thread is basically the same as it is here. It's still fun to think about though.

I like my sugary foods every now and then. I don't drink pop (what the heck is soda?;)) and cookies and the like are kept to a minimum. When I eat too much sugar I start to get a headache and don't quite feel right. Sugary foods are just not bodily satisfying like a plate of meat, potatoes and...

^ Yea that's what I was thinking... Sounds a lot like real life. That is if real life had necromancers (necrophiliacs?). :segen: I think the grand theft auto series attempts to do what you are describing..... somewhat. A rise to power story. It's also the reason why stories like Gladiator and...

It's so nice of the brunette to pre-chew the food for the blonde! The blonde must have some kind of deficiency that she can't chew her on food. I would be proud to have such an act of human kindness as my avatar.

36 hours... It's awful. I am barely aware and only functioning on a level that keeps me breathing. There's a reason why those creatures on methamphetamine look like zombies.

I bought a Nintendo DS on the cheap about a year ago for my job that required me to do lots of travelling. It's a good way to pass the time while waiting for flights. I would probably buy the 3D one so I could play mariokart. A book does equally well. I find reading more satisfying and...

I'm not to sure what it is you are trying to describe... However, the right hand rule is a physical representation of the cross product which, I am sure, you are aware. I don't remember exactly how current and magnetic flux interact with one another, I can tell you the typical mechanical...

I think Awaken has it right. Fighting should be only a LAST resort. Body language, psychology and words are your best weapons. I want to elaborate more on this piece of advice so, HDINTP can understand this idea. It will help in many areas of life not just with bullies. HDINTP, you mention...
