I'm pretty sure I'm going to check that out. I'm only afraid my software knowledge may not be that advanced to understand the most of your previous post. Would you like to write a "Emac with GNU for dummies" post? Thanks.

Hey, hello there. I didn't answered earlier for college keeps me really busy now. If you want to enter a physics major you definitely need a very good math basis. Searching across the internet I found Khan Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/) Especially focus on the trigonometry and precalc...

If I were a blind idealism, I'd definitely be some kind of anarchyst... due to my mysanthropy and cinism, however, I'm just a critical capitalist. If I can tell something about society from my own everday experience on a broken (economical, social and politically speaking) country, is that...

My theory so far (and based on my own handwriting and almost everyone with a high science degree) is that we tend to write in the easiest and faster way possible. Having that said, is obviously easier to write the "a" in a more alpha-looking way than with the fancy gliph above. However, I've...

I was wondering this earlier this morning. When I write the "a" is more like the greek alpha, but almost every font has this elegant fancy-looking "a". Why the difference? Does this have to do with a previous european alphabet or something?

@Hadoblado I just took the test, scored 56 out of 84. Interestingly, scored 21 in both Maquiavelism and Narcicism. Based on a little internet research, psychopats tend to lie, so, people with high scores shouldn't also show particularly low results? And how objective may indeed taking the test...

Question for you guys: Have you guys noticed than when we inmediately think of both sociopaths and psychopaths we think in bloody murderers and that kind of stuff? I'm more interested on the "closet" psychopath, the one who hasn't developed yet any killing instinct (or at least not strong...

When I moved to my current apartment (about three years ago) I spend the first two years without any internet connection, I barely survived doing the college stuff on a library (in which I spent like 10 hours a week). I know it's off-topic, but there weren't neither TV or radio signals (except...

Thinking of it, at first you'd say "yes", but what about the psychological consequences of extreme isolation? Madness, perhaps? I'd say I'd like to experience that, but also be able to comunicate with others anytime I wish to (of course it wouldn't be that often, but if you aren't able to do...

All right, this may be a little off-topic, but maybe the way of how you think of death will also determinate your life. 2 people with different ideas of death may have completely different lives, don't you think? Then... what should be the "best way" to think of death?

Funny, cuz that's one of the reasons I like this forum. When I registered I'd have said that my english was pretty formal (still kind of), but I've learned several slangs from here (which in turn I started to use on posting). I personally live the "tho" thing. It's the kind of things you never...

That's what I wanted to do with this thread... except of course I didn't knew about the intpc thing. It's about creating concepts, not the "war" is going on (from which I know little of). Translation is pretty good, altough I'd have said "...may be somewhat difficult to learn for those who are...

Si consigues el lugar indicado, practicar español es lo más sencillo del mundo. Personalmente me parece un idioma hermoso, lleno de palabras etimológicamente ricas, prosodias particulares que le dan una mayor variedad, una gramática que si bien puede ser un tanto difícil de aprender para los que...

I finished the series about a month ago (just before college), and I loved it. I've already downloaded it and every now and then watch some random episode. Of course I'd be too busy right now (because of college) to do the same with another series (I watched it on 2 weeks, it was insane), but...

I've some spanish posts around there, and this made think of one of that crazy ideas we all have. INTPf is a culturally rich place, I mean, just look the "who's online?" section. What about creating a thread section to celebrate and encourage this diversity? Yeah, "Regional" already exists...

World's a weird place to live on. I think I mentioned this before (or not), but I actually was born in the US, I'm from Houston :D

Well, so a BA pshycologist trying to enter the IT world, that's new. I understand that unlike many countries where specific degrees limit you to certain work areas, in the US you aren't that limited. So maybe there's a chance for you to get that job. Last week there was a "talent exposition"...

Well, welcome to the forum, btw. Quantum stuff is odd. Maybe there is an antonym, what about "everyday common sense"? I mean, things don't dissapear or are in two places at the same time in the scale we're used to live on (like the smallest things we come across are rice, or sand grains, or...

Re: INTPf Policy Change Greetings, fellow intpf lurkers, would some explain to me what the heck happened while I was offline? (like starting for the bannings and the intpc war). Thanks. PS: Sorry for interrupting the debate above :D

All right, I've been offline for too much... when did tmb got banned? Am I the only Venezuelan left? D:

https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2017-10-16/us-condemns-venezuelan-elections-as-neither-free-nor-fair https://www.dailysabah.com/americas/2017/10/16/venezuelas-socialist-party-wins-gubernatorial-elections Somehow the government managed to win 18 of the 23 states governorships...

Well, yeah, been trying to make some friends and stuff to get emotional support (mostly). So far, maybe a gropu where sometimes I feel like an outsider, but who cares? At least I've some pals to hang out (most of time). It's actually kinda funny, cuz last period I started to give some math...

Odd. But interesting, tho. :rolleyes:

Just been too busy for college and a little above my cinism average level to answer anything. Btw, is there a way to avoid being cynical as hell while in college?

Hey guys (still alive), what about r/INTP? I'm looking for other internet cool places, is reddit worthed?

Hm, anthropology per se may not be one of the tops of my interests list, but I do like it, I also enjoy sociology, history and politics, and in the end, when you research enough, you realize they're all of the same. It's very awesome to understand how from the first crops in the Middle East or...

Well well, update from OP's life :rolleyes: I went to college psychologist yesterday, and it was kinda like good, I mean, first time I ever went to one, and it was better than expected (I actually have a second appointment on 29th). This may sound funny, but I think I've been more...

Wait, is there another thing like INTPf out there with people from here there? Why didn't I heard of it? Where do I sign? :phear:

Hm, I often think of dying as the great equalizer, I mean, people I love, I hate, rich, poor, anyone will be dying some time in the future (maybe tomorrow I get myself a heart-attack and end up dead), and in that way it pretty much nihilisms me (I just created that verb, lol) and TBH, it makes...

Hmm, identity theft may be a good reason to interest on average people data, but if I'm willing to do a massive cyberattack or a coup d'etat, I'd rather treat the data as a whole (men/women ratio, age, interests...), and not focusing on individuals per se. Anyhow, hello agent/hacker/potential...

Dude, I just discovered what the two A's button in the upper right corner of the editor does, now I can see what I'm actually writing and not that many brackets, feel like :matrix: Why bury them then? :twisteddevil:

So, college starts tomorrow, and yeah, I'm tired of doing nothing and learning makes me feel distracted, but there's also several triggers out there for a lot of inferiority complexs (the most part due to past experiences), which is pretty frustrating. Is this a result from Ti-Si loops or crazy...

All right, but it doesn't actually says if (or how) companies sell data to the criminals, and to be honest, I don't mean to argue the fact of data-gatering, I'm curious of how criminals actually get this info. Maybe a full hacker-army like the one in China?

I personally like grilled vegetables, 5 mins in the oven, cheese above to become crispy, a little of vinegar, salt and pepper, olive oil too... Damn I'm hungry.

And that is supposed to be eaten cold??

Don't be rude (oh, and if the colors are a little pale... blame my camera, not me) This one was made with black chalk for the sky and black paint for the terrain, the road was made with white pencil color. I like this one because of the horizon effect (idk if can be appreciated or not...

That thread sound pretty interesting, intpf being international may be a good place to search for food of somewhere else, a friend of mine who was once in Dublin told me that you can find anything on the chinese market (he even found arepas there). Maybe even this?

I can't eat mayonnaisse, it's repulsive. Besides that maybe fish when it's veery bad cooked and it feels and tastes like a blob. :kodama1:

Hm, at least we can agree on that, modern politics it's a joke, and how fucked up Trump really is. I was born on Houston (and I lived there for about 6 months, then I moved to Venezuela), when I heard about the hurricane flooding I looked up after where I lived, and it turn's out it flooded...

All right, I stopped reading right there, that's pretty xenophobic, at least for me. Sure, there are countries out there which are kinda fucked uo (like North Korea, or even mine), but just because society and prejudices may be different, it doesn't mean everybody outside the US live on an iron...

Yeah, mostly money (accuracy for selling stuff), because it's the target anyway (like Hadoblado said) and because of information control. But let's think of the secondary question, and we certanily can't blame facebook this time but society instead. We're living in a world where extrovertion...

Odd o.o Hmm, idk if there's any place to do that (at least that I know of) around here, but I'll look for it in college. Besides, it may be a good chance to meet new interesting people. That sounded a lot more extrovert than usual.

This might be an interesting question (esp. for those of you who've been lurking for years) How have INTPf evolved with time? I mean, there's a lot of users, of course, but everytime I check there's no more than 30 users online, all right, I'm not online 24/7, but from all the threads I've...

Like those when you can upload your stories and get an actual feedback of an online community. Kinda like wattpad but without the fangirling and the social media stuff, I'm looking for something more... literature-oriented. Any site?

Hm, my heroes? Fictional I guess I'd pick Patrick Jane (yeah, me and my avatar just love that series), uh, Temperance Brennan, Sherlock Holmes, pleople like that. When I started to write this I was thinking of "hey, I should meet star wars characters" or other sci-fi non-human characters, but I...

Also think about designing an inifinte random level for players who passed the game, or maybe even a certain level of character customization Possibly out of bounds now, but that kind of stuff (also multuplayer as tmb said) makes a shitty game an awesome game. History? Maybe.

Maybe this may start some impossible ramble, but wouldn't be cool to be thrown to a supermassive black hole? I mean, time delay would make the eldest being in the universe in seconds (yeah, if tidal forces doesn't tear you apart first... but that's why it must be supermassive), just think about...

Actually it's on a week, but anyway. When I first heard of this forum was looking for some random MBTI conversations after finding out I was an INTP, I read like three or four threads as visitor and then I decided to create an account. I've seen several profiles dating back from 2010 or...

Even when it's very likely painful and long lasting, dying from a terminal illness may have something worthed, it makes everyone around you deeple care all of a sudden, and making things they won't usually do. It might help if you're used to be on your own with depressive thoughts. Now...

I had a crush on Raven several years ago :ninjahidewhite: Now, favorite superhero? Hm, maybe batman, yeah, too mainstream, but I like the way he keeps two lives and all the dark ambient around him (especially on the arkham game series). I read a graphic novel about a month or so, Colder...
