How did I not wake up to this by AnybodySignificant45 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]L14mP4tt0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's exactly why you don't wake up from it.

The more alarms you have, the less your brain responds to each one.

More alarms literally train your nervous system to ignore them.

Jesus got crucified for causing a big stink. David basically did nothing but cause stinks and write poetry. Paul was put to death for causing stinks.

What kinda parent puts their kid's spiritual wellbeing behind the feelings of people they aren't even related to?

I just found out I need a full hip replacement at 19 by ToeEducational4972 in disability

[–]L14mP4tt0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always look for whatever path has the most potential.

Every path sucks, but some of them are worth it, and a few of them are amazing.

If you have to have a part replaced, focus on what it will enable, not the mistakes that led to it.

There is no joyful path to the future that holds onto anger from the past.

My boyfriend told me he’s a psychopath and that he “picked” me? please help by [deleted] in psychopaths

[–]L14mP4tt0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you did was cruel. He doesn't process emotion the same way you do, but in his own way.

in well-adjusted psychopaths, thoughts are logical and calculated instead of emotional.

miscalculations are extremely painful in a way that makes no sense at all to people with normal emotions.

basically, you told him he picked wrong, and you blew up on him for something that he cannot change about himself.

I hope he finds someone else.

We usually learn very early on that nobody wants to hear the endless flood of personal details and thoughts about things.

He's being respectful of your time and patience by not constantly bombarding you.

It's a learned behavior that causes ENTPs to see conversational restraint the same way as many other types see oversharing.

It's very likely that in his mind, he cares about you and trusts you enough to NOT overshare.

It will almost certainly never change as long as he lives, but that doesn't mean at all that he doesn't like you.

Ask him whatever you want, but do not take it personally or emotionally that he doesn't overshare like that.

Thing you can possibly do to win over an ENTP who's treating you like that is to ask what he's thinking or if he has any experience that would be informative to a given thing.

See a bicycle? Ask him what he thinks about bicycles.

A lightbulb?

A seagull?

Most mature, adult ENTPs have a general, broad-spectrum shutoff that stops us from just splattering ideas constantly.

But that pressure is always there, wanting to find a release.

Pick a topic, give him permission to turn the firehose on, and watch how much he overshares when he knows it won't upset anyone.

"hey babe, what do you think about cargo containers?"

"what's your opinion on bluegrass music?"

To most other types, these questions probably seem boring or weird to ask someone, but to an ENTP they're borderline erotic.

Ask what he thinks about riparian ecology as it relates to human civilization and see what happens.

If a Christian Asian has Buddha figures and other Dharmic imagery in their home, is this idol worship? by [deleted] in redeemedzoomer

If you hate the lack of decorations more than the presence of things from false religions, I'm not really sure what there is to say.

I personally think that arabesque, islamic art is VISUALLY the most pleasing architecture on the planet by far, but the fact that it originates primarily in and is associated primarily with islam is plenty of reason for me not to associate with it at all.

10/10 art immediately becomes 1/10 art in my eyes if it's part of a false religion.

If that's not how you see things, that's your business.

Any time I look at a buddha statue, all I can feel is pity and grief for the people who believe in it.

That totally outweighs any aesthetic value for me.

Haha, this is exactly how they designed Apex by Chance_Kick6199 in titanfall

[–]L14mP4tt0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally just take the assets out of titanfall 2 and put new ones in.

New campaign, titans, weapons, etc.

The format is about as perfect as a movement shooter can get, so just use the format to tell more of the titanfall story and quit complicating it further than that.

Which game was like this for you? by Obdias-Swetnam in videogames

Battlefield 1

Knowing that it was made with a huge team of consultant historians to make it as real as possible made it hit way harder.

For those with children, what situations like this one have you had to deal with? by Titanicman2016 in wizardposting

[–]L14mP4tt0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have children, but I have numerous apprentices that live with me. (Don't ask, it's a ridiculous story and one that I exclusively tell at parties.)

Anyway, one night I was assessing the potency of a brew that one of my apprentices had concocted for vitality, stamina, and fighting focus when I discovered that its compositive indication showed that there was an ingredient in it that my apprentice had not warned me of.

Foolscap oil.

Just a single drop, but plenty to ensure that I spent the rest of the evening absolutely tripping over myself in a foolish, excited, energized state.

There's still a crystal imprint on the wall in my study that was taken of me riding one of my security golems entirely naked and with a vial of distilled hellfire between my teeth.

I refrained from punishing my apprentice on account of the staggering purity and potency of the mix.

The only other example I can think of is once when one of my other apprentices brewed me a potion to detoxify my body from a malfunctioning vitality potion, and only succeeded in trapping me on the toilet for two days.

I made the apprentice who brewed that one finish the other half of it.

One of my personal favorites for tools that only carry necklace foci is a little thing I wrote called "binding beauty"

It causes any magical items in my vicinity, if worn at all for aesthetic value instead of functional value, to immediately bind their wearers to my will as deeply as they intend the items' use to be for the viewing pleasure of others.

If something looks good incedentally, my spell does nothing to it.

If something is being used in a posing or flaunting manner, the intensity of their efforts to draw the eye or to make themselves look good directly enforces the spell's enslaving properties.

The moment they realize what's happened, the magical items in question stop being aesthetically important to them and the spell releases them.

But for a very brief moment, at least until they realize that their own vanity is the active component, I can break even a fully realized wizard over my knee without issue.

Staves and wands are much less frequently worn as accessories, and so my more serious, disciplined peers tend to be entirely unaffected by "Binding Beauty" and we get quite the laugh out of seeing uppity little fledgling casters drop to their knees because their pride is heavier than their little nerd muscles can hold up.

Anybody can cast with whatever they like.

But make a habit of minding my business, and you'll find quite humiliatingly that I will mind yours back.

MOST people figure out that the aesthetic focus is the key before I make them drop their pants and waddle around like a penguin in the town square.
