'Trope married Nightriser. Any really old school Personality Café members know what happened to Cryptonia? He contacted me a while back and I didn't follow up and now I don't know where to find him. :(

Sitting on a computer, realizing I haven't been in this forum in forever and I have no idea what's going on.

Is this a new branch of physics or logic? Yeah, I restricted the domain to [1/e,oo] to take care of the little tail over in the corner.

Another fun problem: trying to find the inverse of f(x)=x^x. Not as easy as it looks...

Why do I know no one like you in real life?

What counts as nerd cred? Shun the non-believer! SHUNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

I can definitely relate to the sort of selfish unselfishness you are describing here. In my experience, though, the problem isn't so much selfishness pe se (getting some kind of pleasure out of...

Calculus was fun to me, although others haven't shared my enjoyment of it. Nightriser has spoken highly of discrete math in the past, though I haven't really taken it and, as a result, I'm maybe not...

Basically, yeah, that was what I was thinking. And if there was a way the user-created group posts could show up on the user's subscribed threads so you knew people had replied to it, that would also...

I was wondering this because sometimes I have an idea for a thread, and none of the main subforums are really ideal for it, but the user-created groups are a) generally not checked all that...

Basically as little as you want. I found ways to have fun with math when all I had was a multiplication table. Of course I'm weird like that...

Calculus! Yay!

My experience is, everyone I feel naturally comfortable and flirtatious around winds up being married. It's very strange, and I don't have any really good explanation for it. It's not like I know...

I could drive there if I wanted with little difficulty. Good times.

Flannery O'Connor was right!

Yay I don't do any of that! Go me! I am apparently not an abuser. Wait, I knew that already. Ah well.

I do the same thing, except with my right hand, since I'm a natural left-hander.

I've noticed in the past that I recognize people primarily by their eyes: if someone is wearing sunglasses, I can have a hard time telling who they are. Also, if I'm used to seeing someone wear a...

Try me, too, whenever you get a chance.

I eat candy in order of how much I like the flavor. The best kinds (usually the red ones or the green ones if they're sour apple) get saved for last. Actually, I do pretty much the same thing with...

I think my mirror image would both weird me out and annoy me in some ways, and I might have a hard time communicating with me because I tend to guard my opinions to some extent...it might take me a...

I have an ISTJ younger sister who draws, paints, writes, etc. She tends toward drawings of really delicate-looking people and random architectural sketches in her artwork, and writes a lot about...

Utterly random math picture: a five-ellipse Venn diagram. It makes me happy.  http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/ellipsevenn.png

Actually, I thought of two more I have had: Scott Scott and Scottish.

It's already affected how I tutor, at least to some extent. It has me thinking subversively.

In calculus, so far as I know, it does. Arithmetic operations are basically unchanged in calc, at least so far as I've taken it. When you get off the calculus track, though, the rules can start...

Agreed. I'm definitely at least borderline NF (though I have my NT tendencies as well) and I definitely like math as well. I don't know if they need a whole seperate forum for math and science. It...

Creetch is the only real-life nickname I can think of. Sometimes it's written/spoken with the definite article.

Jesus<Gr. Iesous<Aram./Late Hebrew Yeshua<Early Heb. Yehoshua... *is also missing the point, to be sure.* My real name=Scott.

Waiting to go lead a precalculus class in a group project.

Straight NF (borderline NT) male. I don't think most people think I'm gay. Maybe they do. They don't say so if they do, though. I don't think I'm really especially effeminate either. *shrug*

That article makes me glad that my mom showed me all this subversive math stuff so that I didn't think math was exclusively what they taught in school. Now, to incorporate the ideas into my SI...

Coolness. A dual number, then?

I've been wondering that, too.

Polish is fun, but trying to speak it always makes me feel like my mouth is full of yogurt (kind of a squishy batch of consonants it has). Three genders, six cases...fairly complicated verb system....

I've noticed that many of the girls who seem most attracted to me and hit on me and such are girls that I find moderately to extremely stupid and annoying...so it's possible the too nice thing has...

I get really bored really fast with the whole cliched romantic hallmark gestures thing...I can't get into something if it's exactly what everyone else does. Everything has to be customized to the...

You are the Schwarz type: You are highly distractable, overly opinionated, relentlessly curious about a wide variety of subjects, prone to procrastination; you set high ideals for yourself and...

Church-phobic Christian, I would say...though my whole story is pretty long and includes near-approaches to Hinduism, Mithraism (as well as I could reconstruct it), and Zoroastrianism, as well as a...

I think it might be one of mine, too...totally open people are wicked sexy. That is, if they aren't completely obnoxious, as is sometimes the case. :( But at least then you know they're obnoxious...

It would not shock me. :(

Not sure how coherent this is going to be, because as usual I am operating on minimal sleep, but, here goes... I have recently been giving a lot of thought to this split I've noticed between my...

Sitting in a library, for some reason awake even though I have to go to work in 8 1/2 hours or so. Hating the government of the State of Washington. Wishing things didn't keep breaking in my...

I view the world as a giant puzzle, one that I need to solve as much of before I die.

I also occupy the weird netherworld between INFP and INTP.

No, base twelve.

You did the math wrong. 47+33+31+11=100.

Mongolian Ping-Pong. I had mixed feelings about the movie itself (the acting was kind of uneven, but there were one or two scenes that were pretty awesome, and the concept was intriguing), but the...

I put down a friend made me do it, although that implies a level of reluctance that did not exist. It was more like Night saying, Scott, you should join this forum, and I was all, Ok. And so...'
