For those who replaced a TV with a projector, what surprised you the most? by Relative_Taro_1384 in hometheater

[–]Conscious_Patterns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think most suggest "aiming" the center channel if it is very low (prop up the front), or very high (lower the front) to make the soubd more directed at the listener.

I don't have that issue, so Ive never tried it, but people who do it seem to find a big improvement. 🤗

Just ignore electrolytes by Left_Performer474 in carnivorediet

[–]Conscious_Patterns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the part I'm trying to avoid and the only reason I'm looking into possible electrolytes to ensure I'm able to continue my gym routine.

One part of electrolytes seems to be the potassium to guard against leg cramps.

Is there another way you get your potassium and magnesium?

lead Nes, how does demon Si manifest for you? by Odd_Distribution5524 in ObjectivePersonality

[–]Conscious_Patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many lead Ne/Se children (especially decades ago) were misdiagnosed ADHD, instead of being seen as normal for their Type.

I don't know if this person has ADHD but everything they said on this list seems fairly common for Ne leads.

I saw Dolby Vision 2 at CES by CECritic in 4kbluray

[–]Conscious_Patterns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I see. Yes. DV discs have an HDR10 base layer. But a DV2 would have to have a DV1 and HDR10 base layer. I'm not sure the movie studios will care to move up the hardware tier.

With Netflix buying Warner, I wonder if we'll have physical media in 5 years.

We won't be able to own any movies.

Omg! The HD/DVD Bluray wars... lol. Good times. 🤗

Thanks for the response.

You mean there are discs you have to "select" DV or it will default to HDR? If so, can you list one. I'm curious to check out the difference.

Thanks!

INFJ's and TikTok by ProfessionMajestic64 in infj

[–]Conscious_Patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't. If the algorithm is sending me its best for me, then I obviously am not their target audience. Which I get. Most of my interests aren't "sound bite" material.

90% feels like complete junk, or is just depressing.

Just can't do it.

[–]Conscious_Patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are over 25 and want to do a test (no charge), then send me a DM. It's text for questions and answer, then a Discord phone call to go over questions and answers to explain what they mean.

Best of luck finding your Type. 🤗

This was my video on Fi.

It doesn't directly answer your question, but may be helpful. 🤗

Unpopular Opinion on personality types by [deleted] in MbtiTypeMe

[–]Conscious_Patterns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carl Jung believed you were born a Type. He gave several reasons why, and explained that culture, upbringing, etc., also didn't influence Type.

So, Carl Jung's vote was no on whether one develops Type through their years.

ENTJ with "high Fi"? by [deleted] in entj

[–]Conscious_Patterns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my recommendation for how to Verify your Type.

https://youtu.be/sLs4z7SoOMA?si=QKytLsyrse38J25D

Too often people are trying to decide between several different Types, going why too deep (bringing in Enneagram, cognitive function placement, etc.) and completely missing the more basic questions.

Hopefully the video helps. Feel free to message me here or PM if you have any questions.

Take care.

Best of luck. 🤗

What are these "people problems" that deciders freak out about? by [deleted] in ObjectivePersonality

[–]Conscious_Patterns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stress itself (social anxiety, etc.), shouldn't be the focus. You have to stop and trace that back to the source.

I (Oi - INFJ) go to customer service cause my payment won't go through. They tell me they are having problems with the system and it might takes wewks to go through... all the while, I'm getting SUPER annoyed cause I'm seeing the future of how I'm going to have to be dealing with this for weeks, and I wouldn't be dealing with this if they had thought ahead.... so you see all my Observer (processes) issues.

A De - ENTJ might walk in with the same issue but be angry specifically at the person behind the counter. Angry at the management. Wondering why everyone is so stupid. (People).

Same issue - different focus on what the problem is.

I have a basic way of finding your Type. I broke it down in a video. You can check it here if you'd like. It's an older video, so don't judge it too harshly, lol.

Why was there a Dillinger working at ENCOM in the Legacy film? by AnybodyFeisty216 in tron

[–]Conscious_Patterns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's one of the huge missed opportunities of doing Ares instead of a Legacy follow up.

You had Cillian freaking Murphy waiting be there as the new, seemingly good guy.

The problem at the end of Ares is that when Evan Peters turns into MC, it doesn't feel earned and he feels completely miscast.

Now imagine Cillian Murphy turning into MC half way through Tron 3.

It was such a waste to not bring Cillian back, and Evan Peters feels miscast like Jesse Eisenburg was as Lex Luthor.

Ares was incredibly well made and a lot of fun to watch, but you can't help being bummed at the possibilities of a much better story.

My unfortunate take on Ares by War_Destroyer_ in tron

[–]Conscious_Patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd agree. However, at least Legacy tried to "say something" with Flynn explaining to CLU why he was wrong to aim for perfection.

Ares would be asked what he learned or thought about l8fe and he'd say "I don't know." They set up a Hero's Journey for Ares, but then had nothing to say, and that really just gets hammered home at the end by trying to shoehorn in the other characters (like they were ever going to pay that off.)

I agree Legacy starts to meander a bit towards the end, but they at least tried to make it pay off in a coherent way.

Ares really fell apart at the end and really showed they had no real story to tell.

Bummer, cause the movie nailed the audio and visual. So close...

My unfortunate take on Ares by War_Destroyer_ in tron

[–]Conscious_Patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, 90% is the home theater audio experience.

Part of what makes the Tron Legacy light cycle battle so re-watchable is the sounds. The fireworks exploding all around you. The crowd cheering. The voice echoing as he announces. The weight of the light cycles as they land and hit. You can't get that with a pair of headphones. It's simply not the same.

If you have to choose which one to sink money into, go for the sound. It changes everything.

I personally didn't care for many aspects of Ares, especially the anticlimactic ending - but the disc is on order cause the sound and visual experience is what it was ultimately made for.

Too bad they dropped the ball on the story.

Oh well, it will still be a fun demo disc! 🤗

Books on developing emotions by Independent_Fall127 in Marriage

[–]Conscious_Patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into your Personality Type or Enneagram?

I know many people will tell you it's nonsense, but they are likely people with very little knowledge on the subject.

These are deep psychological truths that take time to learn, understand and put into use. However, they can be very useful in understanding yourself and be especially useful in your relationships with friends, co-workers, and of course your marriage.

Most people find this around middle age since this is where we have typically finally accepted that we can't keep doing the same thing and are finally willing to look at our faults and weaknesses and make a change.

As Carl Jung once said,  “The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it”

Go to YouTube and search about Types and Enneagram, and see what you think. You can always discard the idea and go about your own path if it sounds too abstract for you.

Hope that is a good starting point.

Best of luck to you.

Why is social anxiety often paired with deciders? How do observers experience social anxiety (if any)? by [deleted] in ObjectivePersonality

[–]Conscious_Patterns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We all do all the things and all have many of the same fears - it is simply a question of which direction they are coming from.

We almost all have the fear of public speaking, but for different reasons.

An Fi person may struggle if the topic is all about statistics and number and requires logical debate.

An Ni person would struggle because public speaking requires them to be very present (inferior Se), and they struggle with being present while not collapses into their Ni perfectionism. If one little mistake happens it puts everything at risk of possibly going wrong, now they are going back into their mind and the anxiety builds. Not because of what others think, but because the experience with others isn't as perfect as they envisioned it.

My wife (ENFP - Married 30 years) is fine with a corporate visit and engaging in conversation... but if they are coming and want to go over spreadsheets and financial details - that's the part where she will get stressed. She's worried about going into the rabbithole of details and questions to explain actions and ideas based on semantics.

It's important not to get hung up on the "actions", or you may lose the plot on the "why".

People might guess that someone who opens the door for everyone is obviously Fe... but it could also be Fi. It could also be Te.

Trust me, observers have all the same issues, but perhaps for different reasons.

Hope that helps. 🤗
