'Assholes: A Theory of Donald Trump Publisher's Summary That Donald Trump is an asshole is a fact widely agreed upon - even by his supporters, who actually like that about him. But his startling...

Here are Tesla's own words on the subject: An Engineer's Aspect: Nikola Tesla - Mr. Tesla Explains Why He Will Never Marry From my point of view, both of his arguments about women boil down to...

I think everything after this might be superfluous.

LMAO. What a tool.

Tesla healthy? With his fear of sex and strange views about women?

It's true. Physicality and single-locality suck. And it seems like the mundane aspects of daily life logistics are more tiring, more draining, to me than to others. Raised by a factor of 10 if other...

I must advocate the corollary to this law: except crap...100% of crap is crap.

Ask your wife.

Halloween!

Why don't you form a brain trust with Simpson17866, our dumbing-down expert, and put something together for us with pictures? It's OK, we can wait. We know those crayons can be hard for y'all to...

Goo goo g'joob

Mr. Macgregor is misquoting Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Interesting scoring. You must get pretty sore in the arms, always patting yourself on the back in your solo Mutual Appreciation Society.

Wax on, wax off.

Well, lay on, Macduff.

This.

He just wanted you to go away. We employ bad, logic-based humor tactically, the same way other types might use loud, noxious farting. I'm sure he'd be fine if you patted his head, as long as you did...

Don't forget Faery.

I'd like to thank everyone here for following the script I projected into their heads so precisely. Bravo.

Sorry you ended up with him as a surrogate and weren't clever enough to get rid of him yourself.

And yet, somehow, success eluded you.

Yes, please --- so glad we had an expert in dumbing down come along and offer. So sorry you don't have anything better to do with your time, though.

Weak.

Home now, with the old guy in tow, after almost 2 weeks in the hospital. He might bounce back, but I'm not sure if I'm going to recover from that long sitting in hospital rooms.

Right? That article tore me up, even as I was laughing at it and myself.

ESFJ: I don't understand this fascination with Mars, I think we should explore in the other direction. Me: Those planets aren't really that hospitable, and there really aren't that many advantages...

Didn't I effectively get my Chuck Heston on?

Soylent food bar is vegan! It's VEGAN!!! Soylent Food Bar

A thread last month (http://personalitycafe.com/infj-forum-protectors/908538-observation-about-t-types.html) sparked an offline conversation with an INFJ friend, where I persistently tried --- and...

No. Historically, he's bleeding from a dozen wounds following a long, protracted seige. I open the doors and drag his near-lifeless body in.

I shut down the romance part of myself after a relationship ends, sometimes for years. I don't dwell and I can move on from the failed relationship, as in move on with my life, but I cannot move on...

Crab bisque, with good, crusty bread and ample butter. And a nice dark beer to wash it down.

All INTJs are cat people; it's a required allegiance you swear when you pay your dues every year. How have you managed to skip that?

Do you think that the shared Ni dominance facilitates some of that? That it might seamlessly fill any places that otherwise might have been communication gaps?

I think it causes you problems, they're just internalized. You all prefer to take the hit on your own psyches rather than risk the external conflict, whereas we are more focused on maintaining our...

Thai. You can never go wrong with Thai.

I think that the drain probably is more pronounced for INTJs and INFJs because of dominant Ni, but my thoughts on the matter aren't coalesced enough to articulate. And, though we get all the...

I would say that if we are voluntarily in the company of someone, choosing to spend our own time with them, we like them. We prefer not to have to many interactions with people who fall outside...

That may not be the easiest way to know an INTJ's thoughts, unless those words are answers resulting from direct queries: what are you thinking? Then just sit back and enjoy the monologue (if we...

Fuck this shit.

This is very nearly my exact viewpoint, and an uncannily similar explanation to the one I offered a pair of dismayed Jehovah's Witnesses on my doorstep last week.

What did you switch to?

I've never been a perfectionist.

Just going the whole day with all the tics, outbursts, and antisocial urges tamped down is a mark in the win column for me --- that's me at the top of my game.

That's the real objective for us, isn't it? Whatever attributes combine to make the key to this door are secondary to the opening of the door itself.

Yes, I agree 100%.

This is going to sound smart-assed and tongue-in-cheek, but for once, I am sincere and don't intend it that way: I weep for humanity because it doesn't seem inclined to weep for itself.

I think you might be having a different experience, because I don't pick anything up without going there and actively analyzing, unless it is someone I know well enough that they are already fully...

That's OK; I know one of us, somewhere, is working on the ability to just live as a brain in a jar, so the whole problem will probably sort itself out from there.'
