Excellent point, and always worth remembering. This is interesting. I wouldn't personally class this as a "nice" truth - it's sort of worrying to me how much of our world seems built on sand while we convince everyone it isn't - but I can see how it opens up a lot of creative potential.

I'll start: Sometimes, humanity seems nice. Or: infinity humanity can still seem like a nice enough idea to try.[/spoiler]

Because I feel dirty after posting in @Minuend 's thread.

Hey! Sorry, I literally forgot about this place pretty much right after. But I'm back again! Nice to see you too. I'll be having some of that inordinate wealth now, please. Yeah. I don't really know what the absolute "worst truth" I've had to acknowledge is, but I'm assuming Minuend wants to...

Hah! Sucked in, m8! *sneaks in, fists Ceg in the mouth and rips out the blood diamonds they've been pretending to eat with* And, uhh.... stay in school, kiddies. *exits amidst an endless loop of overlapping dial-up noises*

That I would one day return to this fucking forum. *shakes fist @Hadoblado *

Good summary. Another easy-read summary in tweet form, good for foreigners in terms of indicating distance, heat, etc: https://www.boredpanda.com/australian-wildfires-new-south-wales/

What did you do for work? Sounds so positive.

How would you use it, and what's the advantage you see? (Assuming you're talking about affective empathy. If you mean cognitive empathy, then there are more obvious answers.)

ok fuck you

Great point Jenny. (*edit and Hado!) I think that's the first new thing I've seen in a while on this topic. Ridicule can also create its own kind of false equivalency. For the lazy moderate not sure what to believe, seeing two camps ridiculing each other makes it seem as if they're both equally...

"Making love" is the only acceptable term. All true pussy hounds know this.

Also, what are your lifelong goals (if any)? (Interpret these questions as broadly as you like.)

how to escape

All alone in the moooonliiiight....

Yeah, this makes way more sense. Saying it's measuring your personal bias/deep-rooted beliefs is jumping a few steps ahead imo (not that you were doing that, but I know some people who might). Good to hear! I think by nature I'm fairly positive in general, but when I've been down for a long...

This totally explains what Nathan Fielder is doing. Actually he's even implied basically the same thing himself.

Your implicit data suggest that you strongly identify more with HAPPY than SAD. This was a welcome surprise (years of depression, currently in a downswing).

It's like we're one mind.

We're never not on the same side Ceg. "Detachment" is precisely the word I had in mind. Hado is a man who lives from behind a pane of glass so translucent onlookers might not realise it's there, but it is. He does have strong values that he holds with great conviction, but he'll also abandon...

@Cegorach Too bad, ur gonna git wun. Dear mother from whose teats I drew breath, you had only to guilt-trip-ask. Ceg is a deeply divided lunatic who believes a slightly smaller, grey font is sufficient to hide his secret thoughts and keep them from damaging his otherwise carefully cultivated...

What if we're the science project of some alien kid from a super long-lived species? And he created an entire semi-intelligent race to show how hubris alone can terraform an entire planet into something far friendlier to their greenhouse-gas-loving selves. But being a school project, it's big...

A bunch of dead schmucks, but their vapourised dreams make it hard to see the bodies. Also Tim Ferriss.

@Serac Yeah, somewhat similar. Initial enthusiasm over intellectual challenge giving way to stagnation and finally discomfort over employment in general. I chafe under anyone else's structure and time constraints as well. Will be interesting to see where you're up to in a year or two. More...

But since you asked... Happy: Claims to be interested in business and self-improvement but is actually a front for several different individuals producing productivity blogs/podcasts. The "Happy" account funnels depressed members seeking relief into a dark web of debasement and self-hatred...

I don't know, since I NEVER SEE ANY OF IT.

ftr I'm ok being in, I just felt bad I'd completely forgotten what thread I was in, and never actually had any intention of joining. @Hadoblado Explain? Serac: Has problems with boundaries and doesn't realise it, because they result from the same seamlessness and purity of logical derivation...

@Serac How long have you been doing this particular job? I recall you saying elsewhere that it's like crack to you (perhaps misremembering). There seems to be a honeymoon period with certain types of challenging work where you initially love it, but realise within a year or two that the...

Didn't realise posting made me 'in' sorry. Forgot OP after reading. Not planning to analyse anyone.

Could you explain this? I don't quite understand. "Scale better"?

Wow, I completely missed this thread. I can't believe how many of you fuckers are back. And not a single one of you has told me to get off your lawn yet... It's simply disgusting. It's well past time to trim lor's hedges, re-nest the garden noddys, touch up Cow's exterior with some gold sharpie...

Huh, so salt *does* get rid of stains. Lor, such a pleasure to see you around again! :D:D:D

That's even worse. Wonder if it was evidence for some other crime.

I've started wondering something similar for myself. If people who are ostensibly like me are just as insufferable as everyone else, maybe I'm just an asshole who hates people. Or in more general terms: If a change to a supposedly ideal environment doesn't entirely fix your problem, maybe the...

The break-in's one thing. The fact that they felt the need to leave behind a dirty outfit is what gets me. Not only that, but they rearranged the drawers so it would fit in (neatly, I assume?). They carefully arranged a drawer full of clean clothes so they could squeeze one lone, soiled outfit...

I just discovered I can see my face at the bottom of a cup.

Cloud please! Or teach us how to do it so we can cloud for a lifetime! Most of the clouds' biggest words fit the general impression I have of the poster. (Not all though, for sure.) Is this difficult or time-consuming for you? Also, is it telling you anything interesting?

Assuming this is somewhat serious, what happened afterwards? Did you become a complete slob, and/or renounce the cult of productivity?

Yes, but I said this because he said himself that he needed to be around other people.

By work? You'd just discovered you need to be around other people to be recharged or whatever right? Is that not working or are there no people, or is this something else entirely?

I'm not an expert, and not aware of any term referring to exactly that, but these are related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_fable The individual imagines they're special, unique, the centre of attention and of narratives unfolding around them. Feelings of invulnerability are common...

I thought "think of the children" arguments are widely seen as disingenuous, which is why they're a bit of a comedic trope. The people who still use such broad arguments generally seem out of touch.

That cold shower thing is brutal. I seem to have almost completely lost my tolerance for them. Used to have them all the time (never in winter; I'm no hero), then only once every now and then as a challenge when I felt like it, when I became much more sensitive to temperature. I tried it again...

wow

Gives me something to read. I'm all for other people wearing them.

Is INTPComplex INTPCentral after it crashed and moved?

Huh, interesting. And when you first joined the forum, you thought you were INTP, is that right? Quite a move, though I guess both are T-dominant. It's interesting you now think you're more extroverted than your wife. I've found men tend to think they're more introverted than their wives/gfs...

What caused this realisation, and what specific things did you realise?

Great to hear you're doing better. I find the self-proclaimed ESFJs that wander onto forums to generally appear healthier and more balanced than many of its users. I like SFJs very much in theory but occasionally have problems in practice. Generally though, I really like having them around...

I think so. It's cool isn't it. Fun how our brains can do things like that. Perhaps we record memories with much higher resolution than we realise at the time, but we're only able to access it occasionally for whatever reason. I also get sudden and strong 'false memories' which quickly fade...
