I don't tend to be any more comfortable when with complete strangers than i am with people that i've known for a while. Maybe it's because with people that you see regularly you have to keep up appearances to maintain the relationship. Whereas with people you don't know, and will never see...

I'd like to make a few points. Firstly, people tend to like the idea that there is someone who cares enough about them to check their status updates. Secondly, the majority of people aren't even capable of doing something as meaningful as saving the world. Are you? Finally, is it not also a...

Sure, he is more likely to get some diseases because he's fat. He could die of heart disease, or high blood pressure, or a stroke; or he could get hit by a bus, get into an aeroplane that crashes, he could eat something the wrong way and choke, or go to a bad restaurant and die of food...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed on the forums yet, but i couldn't find anything when i searched the forum. Here are a couple of articles that I thought were interesting. http://planetsave.com/ http://www.space.com/ http://www.nytimes.com/ here is a quote: What does everybody think...

I'm bored, so I'll post an incomplete, finite sequence of numbers, and you have to figure out the rest of the sequence... 5231, 5359, 5295, 5327, _, _, _, _, 5316.

Welcome to the real world. I trust it will be to your satisfaction.

Yea, that seems like the only way to do it. Thanks.

I'll need to be able to do this to answer a lot of questions on a certification exam that I'll be taking soon, so it's fairly important to me.

Very helpful. Thank you.

This is probably a simple math problem, but i suck at math :). Given number x, where x is between 0 and 255, I need to find the nearest multiple of y, where y is a power of 2 between 0 and 128, to x. I'm not sure if i described that properly, so I'll give an example. Suppose I have number...

no, a safe way to find out if one is a narcissist is to read the related section of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).

There's a world outside of the forum? That's impossible!

Very cool idea for a program. Do you have any particular language in mind for the vocabulary? Also, from where are you planning on getting the vocabulary? It would take you quite a while to get 10,000 words organized, wouldn't it? Will the program include a translation for the vocabulary? in...

I have several best "inventions": - Antibiotics: They destroy bacteria, and prevent infection. Antibiotics cure disease by killing or injuring bacteria. - Anesthesia: Can you imagine what it was like performing a surgery before this? Imagine an amputation without anesthesia. - Printing...

I'm going to answer this question in 2 parts. In the first part, I'll reference Robert Sternberg's triangular theory of love. Sternberg claims that there are 3 components of consummate love ("true" love). All three components are required, and if even one is missing, then it isn't consummate...

My question is basically: How am i supposed to write an assignment that doesn't plagiarize other people's ideas if all of my information is based on other people's ideas? I'm writing an assignment about a particular topic for school. I went to the library, and searched on the internet to find...

I wouldn't say that he is completely unfeeling. He doesn't lack emotions, he lacks empathy. Emotions are mechansms that allow us to set and prioritize goals. He gets out of bed and goes to work every day, so he clearly feels ambition. In season 2 where he has doakes locked up, he shows genuine...

Because he is a sociopath. His personality type, whether intp or otherwise, doesn't have much to do with his inability to empathize; he has a mental disorder. Are you a sociopath?

That's not what your mama said last night!

An alternative to this might be to convert music into a picture, as well as a picture into music. I think that would be interesting.

I don't see what the problem is. It's only a picture of a little girl having a snack. what's wrong with that? :)

Peter Singer - INFJ?

How can a description about a type generated by people of that type be full of stereotypes? These people are genuinely describing what it's like to be that type, and if none of that applies to the experiences of other people of that type, then we would have to seriously reconsider the usefulness...

If you type "youtube.com/watch?" into the search box, it'll bring up all posts in the forum with youtube videos in them (about 11 results pages worth), then you can sift through them to find the ones you want. Have fun.

I noticed there were lots of these posts floating around, so I decided to compile them in a list. Some of the links aren't "You know you're an x when y", but they still seemed relevant at the time. There are more links to some of the types than the other types. INTP INTJ INFP INFJ ISTP...

You are a Crow! (your score: 27) Characters: Rhia, Coranna, Damen in the Aspect of Crow trilogy; John in "The Wild's Call" Powers: foreseeing death, communicating with the dead, resurrection As a Crow, you are analytical, adaptable, and exceedingly clever. You like solving problems, sharing...

Is the contest still going? in any case, I vote for these ones:

If you go into a sub-forum, like "Philosophy & Faith" for example, near the top of the page there is a button labeled "New Thread". The button looks like this: You just have to click on that.

Very cool. I like listening to these ones.

It doesn't matter what the cause is. It's subjective because only you can feel your happiness. Only you can experience your happiness. Only you can feel when you're in love, or apathetic, and nobody else shares that, or has access to that, or can take that away from you. If you were stabbed...

I agree, but what does it mean for a life to be crappy? Different people guage the quality of their life in different ways. Some people will say that they have a high-quality life because they dedicate their lives to other people and make a difference. Some people will say that their life is...

What do you mean by that? do you mean that psychologists would disagree that they're happy, or that happiness can be found that way? Happiness is too abstract, and intangible to be quantified, and analysed. How can you really tell if someone is happy? how can you tell if one person is happier...

A Beautiful Mind (2001) That's the only one I can think of at the moment. It's an interesting movie.

"I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Now that the obscure reference is out of the way, I'll just say that i'm from australia.

Am I the only one who thinks that all of that is completely absurd? Firstly, the very fact that they are using a human observation of the universe to deny the validity of human observations seems extremely bizarre to me. If we have to re-think everything we know, then we'll have to start with...

here are a few of mine Perfume Tree - Flooded Perfume Tree - A Room of My Own Perfume Tree - Virgin Jeremy Enigk - Set it on Fire Jeremy Enigk - Ballroom Rooney - Sleep Song X-Ray Dog -Acts Of Courage Carmina Burana - O Fortuna

I think you're making a fundamental error in your reasoning. Brave people can't be intelligent? Intelligent people can't be brave? Are courage and intelligence really so mutually exclusive as we would be inclined to believe? There are plenty of people who are courageous and extremely...

YouTube- Jeremy Enigk - Set It on Fire

A few more to type: YouTube- Julia Gillard, first interview with Laurie Oakes as PM (Part 1/2) Julia Gillard - ISFJ? YouTube- Sky News - Interview with Tony Abbott Tony Abbott - ISTP?

I actually don't have anything to say about that picture, i just thought it was cute. What is it about certain things that make them seem cute to us? Are our brains just wired up to see certain things as being cute? If that's the case, why do we find other species to be cute? why are some...

One way to begin answering this question might be to look at this thread and compare Introverted Sensing to Introverted Intuition, and check which one your friend relates to more, or something. INTJs have introverted intuition as their dominant function, and ISTJs has introverted sensing as...

I don't see the point of only having one per post. Do you only want us to post one each, or do you want us to make multiple posts?

I think that to a certain extent we isolate ourselves from the environments in which we evolved, and therefore our predators. Our cities keep the majority of wild animals at bay. I can, for example, walk to school without worrying that a lion is going to jump out of a bush and devour me. I can...

- Thumbsucker : Trailer - The Chumscrubber: Trailer - I Heart Huckabees : Trailer Brilliant movies. Must watch.

Sir, your avatar is crude, and offensive! it's an abhorrent, disgusting avatar. I love it.

Here's an interesting website i found that lets you type in the names of the books, music, or movies that you like, and it comes up with a list of similar books, music or movies that you might like. It seems to work quite well. http://www.tastekid.com/

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree :D

I would guess people say that so they can back out of an argument/debate they're losing, while maintaining their dignity. I think it's a reasonable way to back out of a conflict, especially if the thing you're debating doesn't have a definite answer.

I found some websites about this... here's a quote from one of them: and another one: And this one is fromt he world health organization: - http://www.emfandhealth.com/EHS%20Scams.html - http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php/84183-quot-Dirty-Electricity -...

"There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words." - Thomas Reid That said, I think that language is much more precise than art. Art leaves much more to interpretation than a statement. And there are certain thoughts that would be...
