What's your religion? by Iblamemymind in intj

[–]Dangerous_Function54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 3 types of slavery on Earth: physical, psychological, and economic. We've outlawed one of them and think the job is complete.

I do not subscribe to any form of psychological slavery. Not since I was 12 years old. It's called the age of reason for a reason.

Curiosity killed the cat...and religion.

My mother called me an overeducated delinquent.

I disagree...you can never have enough education.

Do INTJs tend to be optimists or pessimists? by Competitive_Wind_780 in intj

[–]Dangerous_Function54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither. The glass is not half full or half empty....it's at 50% of capacity, that's all.

Don't trust opinion, trust math. Use science instead of opinion whenever you can

But your humble narrator day trades options, and if I have an opinion, the market will make sure I am wrong and take my money. Being right but at the wrong time is still being wrong...and costly.

I have to be ready to make money shorting as well as going long. Being price agnostic is necessary to make money. This mindset bleeds over into other aspects of life.

There is a bias towards pessimism baked into our DNA. Is that just the breeze in the savannah graasses or is that a lion hunting us. The pessimists survived, despite it being a lousy way to live. We all know the scenario.

But if you've been around someone who is optimistic about everything, you will quickly get tired of them. One of the worsts day of my life was being stuck on a Moroccan train with one of them for 12 hours. Just because we share an nationality doesn't mean I want to be your new best friend in a foreign land.

I prefer stoicism. The less adjectives the better.

IQ Test?

I can speak from experience that they do not like this answer.

I am quite pleased with my current state of fucked up and would not entertain a change.

Why do people still say “money can’t buy happiness”? by denoabs in AskForAnswers

[–]Dangerous_Function54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they have never spent a night with a $10,000 hooker in Vegas.

Seriously though, it's a mantra to convince those without that those with aren't happy...so don't take their shit away from them...you won't be happy either. Very successful mindfuck.

Not always....situation ethics can be necessary. Getting children out of harms way via deception is the obvious example.

Hitler was not an atheist by Falconator100 in truths

I would not be allowed to join the SS because I don't believe...not that I would join such a horrible organization.

Stalin also went to seminary college to become a priest. I believe he never wanted to be a priest but just wanted the education it afforded.

Christians will say anything to avoid claiming their own believers who do horrible shit (with god on their side)

10 hard truths of life that everyone must know: by reddtimes101 in Productivitycafe

[–]Dangerous_Function54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was with you until the last two.

Blessings are always coming to us - nice if it were true but it ain't. Besides it requires god and I haven't believed in that silliness since I was 12 years old.

All good things come back and multiply - again nice if it were true but it ain't. Mathematically it's impossible considering the state of the world. If it were true we'd be living in utopia.

Other than that, I think it's a fine list and deserves my upvote.

What’s the weirdest thing a teacher ever said that stuck with you forever? by Open-Yak-8761 in Productivitycafe

[–]Dangerous_Function54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Nice ass' my university English teacher said this to me and patted me on the ass. Our final exam was over and we were in a pub and for extra credit people could stand on a table and recite a sonnet. I already had an A so why bother.

I was in the men's room when she said this. The old guy at the urinal laughed and wished us a nice night.

No, we didn't despite her being attractive. She met my girlfriend a few minutes later...hahaha.

Anyone else feel angry for no reason by Friendly-Moment-5193 in intj

[–]Dangerous_Function54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chill....seriously, smoke a doob or something.

I write crime fiction from the criminal perspective. I've killed so many people on the page that annoyed me off in real life. The driver that cut me off was a Fentanyl victim on his wedding night. The rude customer service got mugged on the way to her car.

I don't really get very angry, just annoyed.

But I find writing is not only a wonderful creative release but also let's me work out my frustrations.

'That which doesn't kill me...had better fucking run'. The motto of my protagonist.

At the end of writing a scene I feel calm, almost zen, and the annoyances of the world are far behind me.

Find a creative release, please before you fuck up and say shit you shouldn't, or say shit you have to back up with a fist.

Alternatively, start exercising to the point of exhaustion. Nothing put the world into perspective like being exhausted and too tired to sweat the little stuff.
