'*chirp* not me, hope to hear someone else

Great idea. Let's set up a secret identifier like a golden piercing on the webbing between our right ring and pinky fingers. Then on the train or at the library, we can awkwardly pretend not to...

How much more Yoda can you get? Maybe green username if you ask nicely?

Somebody post one of those shields :happy: They are what validates my overdue existence. Mine is a very stylized version of the Chinese character for Tao, or the Way. It's the central concept of...

It depends on my mood climate. Right now, the mood climate is love:neutral, mental_space:large, excitation:low. This leads me to classical music. I'm listening to a beautiful Ravel and Mussorgsky...

If you're writing about your thinking, that's better than what I do most of the time! Do you let anyone read it? Have you considered that your daydreaming about your college texts (if I got that...

You said he likes to joke around. I use humor as a lifeline of communication. I will fashion this type of humor to be absurd, but to contain a truth nonetheless. A truth that I may feel too deeply...

Oh man. They even put a warning.

zompist.com worlddreambank.org Weird is good.

I can't watch that video because my flash plugin keeps crashing on me. But I recognize that stick figure from those Sacred Geometry videos my Fi-dom friends keep pushing on me. And honestly, the...

Try Europa Universalis IV. It's a history simulation game where you play as a nation from the late middle ages up to the Napoleonic Wars. It's verys elaborate with systems for trade, combat, nation...

Yeah, I feel now like the flax oil is basically a scam... I realize that one must be receptive to information even - especially - when it challenges some belief or practice that is seen as important....

25/26. I substituted words for the letters to help me think up the situations Etc. I'm sure actually knowing the rules of formal logic works a lot better but honestly, I think it is not a very...

I have to admit I learnt. Thanks. So flax only supplies wildly inefficient ALA. How about algae based supplements? I've read good things about them in the last 15 minutes, but maybe you know more?

Sure. I don't crusade in real life though, as I've found that quiet, humble example will get people thinking for themselves while argument will turn them defensive and hostile. Only as an INTP, I...

Tell me how that's logical. Don't give me the old Because they're made of meat. Because so are you.

I sure as hell hope that worldwide omnivorism never needs you to defend it, because obviously the only argument you can offer might just as well be used by anyone to justify any kind of wrong:...

Most of your post is just the same stale non-arguments that any vegetarian could refute in their sleep but this one... Just... wat

I'm a vegetarian and passively a vegan. Meaning that I don't buy or ask for any animal products, but I will eat eggs or dairy when someone cooks them for me. When asked for my reasons, I always feel...

A forum is not a good place for INTPs to mind-meld. For me, the most satisfying intellectual exchanges are face to face, in real life, which has a number of advantages compared to forum conversation:...

Just today I was in a meeting on my political project (local Pirate Party). There was a guy I'd never met before and he asked me some friendly questions. I fumbled my words completely and must have...

Pistols. My aim is better when repeatedly clicking than burst firing.

http://www.posmicro.com/prodimages/tmt88iii.jpg :crazy: But seriously. Haven't gotten it to work yet though.

Awesome thread! I feel I have a lot more random stuff... You guys don't have any Si, or are you all hiding it under the rug? :ninja: http://i.imgur.com/71R4WfT.jpg ...

These are Soviet scores :laughing:

madlysane: a diet with plenty of fresh vegetables of different kinds provides more than enough protein for most people, even without soy. If you do exercise a lot, I guess supplementing it with soy...

Yes, Mursi was elected democratically. But that doesn't mean his regime was right. In fact, I believe he made a mistake known as the tyranny of the majority. Fundamentalists worldwide are great at...

Abdurrahman Kh When a person quits eating meat, they stop producing certain enzymes necessary to digest it. After a while, most of us start getting disgusted by it. I hate the smell of roast chicken...

That's commendable, but inaccurate. First, you already speak English and Italian, so you have the Germanic and Romance branches covered. Therefore German will not be necessary. The Scandinavian...

Are you from Quebec?

Wanna talk about it? Do you always feel like this? How long have you been in this relationship?

Straightening shampoo! A friend recommended it to me, I was like why not, don't know why I'm using this shampoo anyways! Then two weeks later, an urban bird pooped on me, but the guano slid right...

I love language. The most obvious way to express this love has been studying languages, but in fact, it's language as a whole that interests me the most. My first language is Dutch. Then I learned...

27, little whoop. I noticed I never chose embarassment, shame or guilt :blushed: Wonder what that means? Could we say those are some Fe-related emotions, as opposed to anger, despondency etc being...

Oh, I really want to play now... Why do they use Java though, don't want to foul up my laptop with that stuff. I'll try it at home, thanks!

You're making a thread for a poll to ask which threads you should open? That's pretty meta. I'd say start all of them except this one. If they're interesting, they will generate discussions. If not,...

Search engines. Now Residual Deviance, could you give me the name of that game/site? I can't find it.

@Wolfrahm Great choice of emblems! @onthefence, thanks for your praise :proud: I've retired for now, I suggest you ask Wolfrahm who is making the next generation of shields! Absolutely, it's...

My final shields for the time being: http://i.imgur.com/xcCCoQl.png A penguin for His Dudeness, and a furry bat for ADHR26. I was going to put in an animated tongue, but it was too small on...

A few basic scenarios: 1. Other person is an extrovert. Believe it or not, most extroverts like to talk without needing any cause or reason! They've been intrigued with how silent and mysterious...

Imagine someone on your floor who is like you. How will they find you? You like to stay inside your room a lot, you don't talk very much apart from greetings... People can't see the real you unless...

Here you go, link to template.svg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p5laza90p67q8nl/template.svg

Awesome, @Wolfrahm! I was hoping you'd step up to the challenge :cool: I wonder what program you use? I'm using Inkscape, I can send you the template if you like. Of course, being an INTP, chances...

Hey guys, sure, I'll make a few more! Roland787, @SomeWeirdGuy, @His Dudeness and @ADHR26, you can expect a shield soon :proud:I'm afraid I'm going to stop taking requests after these. It's been fun,...

I've just compared a number of translations, and they all seem to differ a lot from each other, often to a point where one translations says the exact opposite of the other. The original text is...

I don't quite see what you're getting at. What's so interesting about lots of other people being interested? This is one chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the basis of Taoist thought. As such,...

If someone refers to a man as 'crazy', I imagine him setting fire to city quarters and strangling baby dolphins. Well, more generally, being aggressive. If I hear about a woman being crazy, I...

So, my username seems to indicate an interest in Taoism aka Daoism. But it didn't, I just liked the sound of those words. Now I got curious and investigated. I'm reading to an audiobook version of...

Roland787 Ah ha! Finally a sensor! My favorite kind too. Yesterday I was sitting outside in the chilly night, heated by the flames of a huge ISTP-built rocket stove. It was a good night :proud: Of...'
