    The iPad

    If this thing could be used with a stylus pen and varying levels of pressure sensitivity, so it would be a sort of poor man's Cintiq, it would be useful. Alas, it cannot and therefore is not. (useful)

    People's Perception... unloading

    Stuff like this happens to me all the time, too. I used to find it infuriating, because I was every bit as fragile as the other fragile girl everyone treated with kid gloves. They just had this sense that I was strong and brave and capable of dealing. Boy did that piss me off. Lately though I...

    Shame

    Hm, interesting. Not quite the answers I was expecting (I was going for more agreement) but still interesting. Personally I've always coped with a great deal of shame. I feel embarrassed about the smallest things. I used to let the fear of it hold me back all the time, but in the past few years...

    This is not a pet store

    I think anyone who's deliberately trying to find an INFJ to date should be careful what they wish for. >_>

    Shame

    Do you feel excessive amounts of it? Would you say shame is an emotion that dominates INFJs as a type?

    Father Forced "Gay" Son to Sleep with Prostitute

    Note that it doesn't say the kid is actually gay. Just that the father did it because he feared his son might be gay. Which makes this even more irrational, fucking stupid and disgusting! :)

    Why heteros are a lucky bunch...

    Meanwhile lesbians have virtually no risk to contract the disease.

    Must see Global Warming Hoax video. Global warming is finished.

    Monckton tries to convince me, the viewer, to check. He then repeatedly points out that we don't know anything because we haven't been told. Ergo, he knows we can't check. And while I applaud his "think for yourself" skeptical approach and he tries to say he won't give us the answer, in the end...

    Praise and Encouragement

    Um, no that's not what hikikomori are at all. They don't withdraw socially; they stay locked inside a single room as long as humanly possible. Apparently either you didn't read the article, or it wasn't sufficient in conveying the extremity of the phenomena. For anyone who's interesting in...

    Praise and Encouragement

    Not suicide related, but you might want to brush up on the concept of hikikomori too.

    Praise and Encouragement

    It's not just american culture. It's pretty much the same here in the Netherlands. I think modern society in general places too much value in "you need to be a strong solitary individual who can get by without all this fluff". Even though nobody can really get by in any decent way without...

    The "J" in INFJ

    The problem with J and P is that people treat them as functions in their own right, but they're just broader indications of how the rest of your functions are focussed. J is not a function. Te is. Te is what lets you set goals, organize schedules and meet milestones. Most INFJs won't possess an...

    Sternberg's "Triangular Theory of Love."

    But romantic passion is also not necessarily physical passion and wanting to jump someone's bones. It's more like emotional obsession.

    Too Fat to Graduate

    They should probably make people quit smoking to graduate before making people with a high BMI do 3 hours of fitness a week. (which will probably not do much to lower their weight anyway)

    Sternberg's "Triangular Theory of Love."

    The way I read the sentences at the bottom, passion doesn't need to be all physical, since you can say yes to those questions without being in close proximity to someone. Ditto on the commitment parts. And the commitment parts sound like something you feel is stable, and you're sure of. In the...
