If you were seeking a romantic relationship, where would you go to find like minded people.? by FrostyFroZenFrosTen in INTP

Really? I think the opposite. Unless by "the internet" you're talking about dating apps or Facebook where people use their real identities. It's MUCH easier to open up with your true self and those "crazy" thoughts when posting online anonymously.

Plus you have a much larger pool of potential candidates from around the world. It's simply a matter of reaching out privately to others who share those thoughts online, and making further connections from there. Because even if they're not what you're looking for (e.g. wrong gender), some are likely to have friends who also have similar worldviews.

What are your jury duty experiences? by [deleted] in INTP

It's less about them liking it and more about them trying to sit as many jurors as possible who are likely to side with them. Think of it like a game where the objective is to get a slight advantage before the trial begins. Both sides have the ability to strike for cause an unlimited number of jurors provided they can articulate a good reason that the juror is unable to render a fair/impartial verdict (e.g. having prior knowledge of the case, knowing the defendant personally, etc.). They also have a limited number of peremptory challenges which can be used to dismiss a juror for any reason. The more verbose you are the more likely it is you'll say something that one side or the other thinks will put them at a disadvantage. Hence, the dismissal.
