I also tend to do this, but not so much when I am stressed so much as when I am on the verge of figuring something out or, more often, trying to reach an important memory. I always thought it was like ISTJ-mode, but God Mode or Dark Mode is a much better term. When I get it I usually ask...

I haven't learned a whole lot of maths yet, but why isn't 3, 5, 7 a prime triplet? SW

@BigApplePi, I think I understand, but I am a bit unclear on some things: 1. if you're feeling empathy, do you feel like you are someone else, or do you feel like you are two people (yourself and the person you are feeling empathy towards) at once? 2. Do you just feel their emotions, or do...

A Wizard of Earthsea. Ursula K LeGuin. Fantasy. An interesting, relatively short book wizard's coming of age. A bit like LotR. Foundation (trilogy). Isaac Asimov. Fantastic mix of well-written sci-fi and psychology (the whole book revolves around a science called Psychohistory). Ender's Game...

Same. Exactly the same. 3 weeks ago I was home sick and it clicked. I really enjoy it now. I have started to appreciate the pure logic and perfection of JS Bach and, as a left-hander, I am beginning to appreciate his gift to our minority. SW

سلام. من عين انت في مسر؟ (apologies for my probably awful grammar. I am learning.) SW

I don't think you're forgetting anything. I just wasn't sure how confusing it would get. However, you're probably right, and I'm not up to כ/ך yet anyway. SW

So why should we be bothered? It's interesting, long, and doesn't have much to do with MBTI. SW

I MADE A MISTAKE ON MY LINKS POST. I SAID THAT THE ALEPH WOULD BE ON THE TOP LEFT. THAT WAS AN ERROR. IT WILL BE ON THE TOP RIGHT. Sorry! SW

Lesson 5: Hebrew letter 6 The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the vav: ו. The vav is a little complicated, so: The sound of the vav changes between two sounds, based on the vowels attached to it. If the vav is attached to any vowel that is below it, it will make the "v" sound + the...

I know, it takes some getting used to. I started learning Hebrew when I was 3 years old, taught by a man who traditionally taught all the children in the community before they were old enough to go to school. When I was 4 years old, the man died. My twin brother and I were the last ones to have...

@SpaceYeti: Speaking of humour in death, many of my friends are involved in the US military. And I've always wondered about how much a part death takes in your daily lives. Take the granny song (When my granny was 91, she did PT just for fun...), for instance, and all the different versions of...

I always wondered, ג being named after a camel (gamal) makes sense, but how did they know about monkeys? Did monkeys ever live in the Middle-East? Research project, I guess. By the way, can you help teach some lessons? I have some exams coming up and don't have the extra time right now. Just do...

Glad you guys are enjoying it. I'll try and catch up on lessons today. I know I'm behind. @walfin, once you learn the alef-bet, it gets a bit easier. Fortunately, Hebrew is pretty phonetic. No "ph", no "ch", no "ough". Beholder, nice finds. Interesting how the old ד turned into the Greek Δ. And...

My favourite is the tritone. You can hear it either way depending on how you want to hear it. Try it. If you think to yourself, "these notes are going from high to low," that is what you hear. If you expect the notes to go from low to high, that is what you will hear. SW

I'll certainly answer your question (Male sexuality thread), but give me some time. It is the middle of the night here, and I just realised that I have school tomorrow (there has been a Jewish holiday that just ended, and it feels like the week-end). I'll probably answer tomorrow.

How would he be able to call the police on her if she divorced him? There would be no point in arresting someone for divorcing you. SW

Keep in mind that I am in my mid-teens, so there has not been a very long life without sex, and I may mature in my perception of sex as I get older. But my parents are considering sending me to a psychologist. People don't really go around with church fliers where I live. The Christians are...

This is a very interesting thread. There have been a lot of blokes on here explaining how this explains a lot and how hard it is for them to "channel" their sex drive (if that's the correct description), and I truly respect and agree with that. However, for someone who has no interest in sex...

It's fake. SW

Architects aren't all that bad... someone sure had bad luck, though. SW

Well-spoken, Jennywocky. Solitaire U., well-spoken as well. SW

They did make M a woman. M was originally a man. But the lady who plays M is brilliant; much better than the boring man who used to play him/her. SW

Casino Royale Kung Fu Panda (surprisingly brilliant film!) Star Wars V Harvey V for Vendetta Runner-up is Spirited Away. I loved that movie as a kid. SW

Whenever someone asks me how I am, I say "finethankyouhowareyouhaveaniceday." I am honestly trying to be polite and grateful, but when someone ever asks me how I am, I never, ever know how to reply. So, I think really fast for a response, and the response comes out really fast because I'm too...

Funny. Ian Fleming described 007 as having black hair and blue eyes. I guess that's what happens when you put Sean Connery and Daniel Craig together. But considering the direction the movies have gone compared to the books, I don't see that Fleming's original physical description matters...

stop spamming us! We don't need help with home care, thank you.

Yes, that's essentially what you're supposed to do. In an office building, though, it may be possible to get out by hiding behind stuff and dashing for emergency exits. Remember, the shooter will be preoccupied with the other people – the people who are still deciding what to do so that everyone...

Fascinating (seriously!). Almost frightening. "Normal" people seem to be so... pack-minded. It's like each person is connected to his/her peers, and cannot function without them. This "I want to do what my friends are doing" mind-set could be dangerous. I went to a course for Certified First...

That would be a good move, wouldn't it be? But this relationship stuff is always more complicated than it seems... SW

Fine; no problem

We actually don't know if she's dead. She just disappeared. But many thanks. SW

I (an INTP) can relate to you a bit. So, a story: A few minutes ago, my mum came in and told me my Great-Aunt may or may not be dead. I said, "Oh, I remember her. She was boring." My mum (an ENTJ who would not be insulted by that) continued talking. A few moments later, I apologised to her for...

Then I'll be wrong. Usually that would make me want to do something that changes such an outcome, but when it comes to chess it's worth being wrong to win. SW

Cryptology is breaking (and making) codes. Cryptozoology is very interesting, but different.

It got Scott Joplin in 3 rounds. And it guessed Harvey in 2 rounds! Bobby Sands in 2 rounds, after guessing Shaka Zulu the first time. Yoni Netanyahu (Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu's killed brother) in one round!! Couldn't guess Ron Arad. SW

But May's husband won't even let her contact her family. Why would he let her visit her family? I don't think that May's having someone to take over her work for her would convince the husband to let her go, and she can't hide for 18 hours. SW

Words You Can Now Write בֶּגֶד - Pronounced "beged." A בגד single article of clothing. גַג - Pronounced "gahg." A גג is a roof. גַב - Pronounced "gahv." גב means "back" (body part, not backwards). אָהַבָה - Pronounced "ahava." אהבה means "love" (as a noun). אָהַב - Pronounced "ahav." אהב means...

Lesson 4: Hebrew Alphabet Letterד No. 4 and 5 The fourth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is the Daled: ד. The daled is pronounced the same way as the English letter "D", like "door." The fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the hey: ה. The hey is pronounced "H" as in "hat" when it is at the...

You sounded surprised when he said he was dying. You're dying too. You come and tell me my comment is unworthy, but saying "you're dying?" was a much more wasteful question. SW

I don't know much about Cryptozoology. I just looked it up on wikipedia. Very interesting!

עליכם שלום, and welcome to the Forum! I love languages, too. I am currently teaching myself Russian. SW

I guess Jimmy Stewart's Harvey, which is my favourite movie of all time. There is a romance sub-plot. It's a fantastic movie; INTPs would probably really enjoy it because it is about how everyone is absolutely insane, and that is OK. SW

Hebrew Alphabet Links A. On this one, pay attention to numbers 2 (script) and 5 (print). Compare them and get used to writing both. I know it is all written with a calligraphy pen, but you can write it with a regular pen. No. 1 is what is used in Torah scrolls. You will see it is very similar...

Lesson 3: The Hebrew Alphabet Letter No. 3 The third letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the Gimel: ג. The Gimel makes the hard "G" sound as in English, like "gold" or "grey," not like "gem." To keep you from ending up learning to write the Aleph-Bet (alphabet) in Phoenician, I am going to post a...

Oedipus, how much do you trust May? How will your boss just not notice that his wife is gone? London is a >6 hour drive from Glasgow (although I don't know where in Scotland you are from). That would be 14-hour transportation accounting for traffic, and the wedding would probably be around 3 or...

Everyone's dying. Life is resistance to decomposition, but resistance is not immunity. SW

I like the 15" MacPro because my 2nd generation iPod's battery keeps draining and it's very small. I think the 15" is a good size for a laptop: not too small and not too big. The 17" is a bit big. We have iPads at school, and they're alright, but I agree with you that they are not... powerful...

Well, I wouldn't want to let myself into a false sense of security, would I? SW

I think so, too. SW
