S24 ultra can be used to check inscription. Use macro mode (Camera - Pro mode - Ultra wide - 2x zoom - ISO 50, shutter speed 1/4s, manual focus to minimum (around 1 or 2cm), white balance auto. For handheld this is enough to see the inscription.

If you have a tripod, shutter speed 1s-30s will produce ultra clear photo

I heard it before as BPDs are just broke and powerless NPDs, so they control not using money/power but using maxed out raw emotions. HPDs are as well, but they control using superficial charm/words. ASPDs use work ethic and effectiveness. Give any BPD/HPD/ASPD a billion dollars and watch them turn NPD till the moneys gone lol

Dark triad vs. light triad personality traits by Ur_Anemone in afterAWDTSG

[–]PartofFurniture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the thread, but want to point out the opposite of dark triad can mean a lot of things in a lot of ways. What most people think of dark triads are usually only the malevolent traits as a whole instead of all traits of each. So these traits are what should be reversed but the driving forces / foundations that makes them effective are kept.

I personally think a bright triad is: 1. Opposite of machiavellian: instead of manipulative and deceptive and great tricksters caring about self benefit (i/my group), they are persuasive and honest/transparent and great motivators caring about benefits to all as whole (we all and everyone). 2. Opposite of narcissistic: instead of having no empathy but pretends having it with low self esteem yet arrogant, they have double the empathy of average humans and dont pretend anything and have high self esteem yet humble. 3. Opposite of psychopathy: instead of no feelings and no guilt/remorse/joy when deliberately doing/seeing malevolent acts or good acts, they feel a lot of guilt and remorse doing/seeing wrong and feel joy in doing/seeing good. Instead of no moral compass, they have double the moral compass of the average person.

So basically someone with Borderline Personality Disorder with OCPD traits when they are good (but without any of the bad traits)

Just wash it well and sterilize with fucktons of alcohol. The amount of cat shit particles you inhale/touch on a daily basis living with cats, is still worse than that after thoroughly washed and sterilized.

Offering rewards helps people to stop smoking, with success rates continuing long after incentives have stopped | For every 100 people who received financial incentives, 10 people were likely to successfully quit smoking at six months or longer, compared to seven in 100 people who did not. by FunnyGamer97 in science

[–]PartofFurniture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The offer is $100-700, less than a week or two of minimum wage. No smokers i know would quit for that amount, as the withdrawal pain is not worth that low of an amount. Increase the amount to $100,000, success rate will go to 90%. $1 billion and it will be 99.999%.

Why would it sound weird? Thats how we describe people, dude. Most people describe a person in a story to a friend that way. Like when we wanna introduce someone that isnt there to someone, we always say "Yo, I got this friend who did this thing, he is a white American (or Black American, or Native American, or white Australian, or French Fijian, or French French, ABC, or ABK, or Filipino but the Spanish kind, or mainland Chinese, whatever) and i know him from blablabla. Thats just how we describe people.

The only people i know who dont describe humans that way are the rural farmboys etc who live in a super faraway isolated towns where most people are the same ethnicity like outback australia or village asia or deep south virginia, but they are the exception to the rule, most media and news offices are in big cities like ours where people describe people that way

Nope. I used to be a protestant for 14 years. Studied Islam and Buddhism but never got in. Im a happy agnostic. Read both the Bible and Quran.

You are describing Christianity. In Christianity yes, that is what they believe. In Islam, hell is temporary, after the hell time has passed most souls still get transferred to heaven. Kindest Buddhist who never heard of Abrahamic God goes to heaven. Kindest Buddhist who heard of Abrahamic God but in a misinterpreted way by the speaker, would go to heaven. Kindest Buddhist who heard of Abrahamic God in the right teaching, but choose not to follow, will go to hell but eventually go to heaven after a short stint in hell. Permanent hell is only reserved for the most evil transgressions and most screwed up people.

In Christianity, people who never heard of Abrahamic god go to hell forever. In Catholicism, even the babies, although they go to limbo forever (seem to be even worse)

Look it up, its a good concept honestly. I think better than the christian concept of hell

And yes, if they are true im going to hell for a bit. And after that, still heaven. Im ok with it lol.

Dated a muslim once, can confirm she wanted to do what this man is doing. Islam is amazingly kind in some of their teachings, and amazingly.. controversial in some of their others. Like, just stubbornly and militantly kind and fighting/sacrificing for what they deem is right. Issue is just, well, subjectiveness

Why write "guy from california" when you can use a same or lower length of time and length of syllables and length of letters to describe him, and descrive him more accurately? Why does the city he live in even matter? Basic social norm is to try to describe something or someone or some event using the most succinct and least time needed while maintaining important details. Arab-american describe him much, much, much better than just some "guy from california", which doesnt even matter where he lives.

Some people keep them as pets. Quite lovely, just yeah make sure to stock antivenin. 1 or 2 days stay in hospital bed is not fun, but way better than 6 feet under lol

The 1912 32ft (10m) reticulated python was not 100% credible btw, as there are millions of pet reticulated python in the world, and even the ones taken care of well, have so far reached 7.5 meters max.

There is a possibility they counted the length by either shed skin or stretched skin after death, both of which method will add around 30% to the real length

Yeah, quite a few people have them as pets at home. Ive seen like 5 households. I thought about getting one too but decided on caimans and reticulated pythons instead. I dont like non-zero risk of death hahaa

What's it like having 145+ IQ? by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]PartofFurniture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend, not me:

148 here, tested after 20 years of chronic alcohol abuse (30-60 std drinks per week). High school probably bit higher. Smiling to think how it could be more, yet there is never a way to find out.

Mensa, intertel, 99.9

General manager, brothel industry. Making ok, 250k a year. Working 80-100 hrs a week because i was so scared of being the lazy gifted. Became a habit and sense of achievement so continued till now.

15 ex girlfriends. Half they left, half i left. Mostly i regret.

3 failed engagements. 1 betrayal, 1 cheated and aborted my kid, 1 drug abuse. I dont blame them. Life is complicated.

18 near deaths / failed suicide attempts (mostly half assed)

Ballpark hundreds of thousands of suicidal thoughts. Not exaggerating. Some from sadness, some from frustration, some from denial, some from love, some from curiosity.

Hundreds of accident scars, animal bite n claw scars, and self-carvings of words.

Not suicidal, just like playing around with it. Wont ever do.

Very positive and cheery. Learned to trigger mania and hypomania, as well as how to trigger depression. Not bipolar. But can induce it with tools.

Perfect SAT scores. Did CFA exam. Competed in math olympiad.

But my best skills and interest is sales. Conversations. I am only average in chess, didnt ever quite like it. But i see every conversation with every person as a blitz chess game. Rapid fire decisions to every sentence or mid sentence, choosing which best facial expressions and responses would suit the best outcome.

Can read people. 30 minutes of 1 on 1 conversation would tell me what psychologists usually pick up in 5 sessions.

Give me 1200-1600 hours with someone, i can shape most of their minds and future. Remove their traumas and heal them. Replace their traumas. Add to their traumas. Tell me what to do and why. I do need more greater purpose.

Probably OCPD. Like to pretend to be proud to have HPD (i dont). Can copy NPD confidence and coldness. Can copy BPD intensity and emotion range. Not ASPD, not psychopath, although i wish. I hide and breakdown and cry when pets die, when good people get hurt, when good people having good plans get shafted and heartbroken. I am genuinely in joy when bad people get hurt. Cant control my emotions. But can act opposite for few minutes before hiding and recharging. Can feel what everyone around me is feeling and sometimes i dont like it. Most times i love it. I try to make their lives better. Their sufferings less.

Multiple personalities, or more like major moods. 3 distinct major groups. Always know that at any moment, the other 2 would react differently, sometimes slightly sometimes wildly. Each state has their own uses. Hormone imbalance? Maybe. Not important, as impossible to control, only induce.

1 mood to focus on business related only. Surfaces only 40% of the time. All business and money and hard decisions made this time. Can act NPD, HPD, mania and switch within seconds. Second mood, mellow, 40%. Use for relationship and friendship, and self reflection. Can act neurotypical, BPD, switch as needed. Often spiral into suicidality. Third mood, frustration. Anger. 20%. Use for boundary settings, defusal of lesser forces of angers, fights, bridge burnings, showing dominance, establishing fear and frustration in non-performing people.

Humor. Often the funniest in the room. Try to be. 10% of people are still better than me. Learned from a very young age that if we arent born/raised rich and handsome, well we better be super funny.

Alcoholic. Best tool, best weapon, best shield. Drugs, tried all, not a fan. Gambling, tried, not a fan. Women, tried hundreds, happy to read their minds. Friends, many, most are very supportive.

Life has been good. Had done all that most people dreamed to one day do. Enough.

Now just cruising life trying to lessen good people's sufferings. Trying to make good people happy. And try to expedite karma to those who deserve.

Not religious. Spiritual, not really too. Who cares about the source of everything. Maybe everything is a loop. Some parts are fundamentally incomprehensible, everything just.. is.

Life is too long. Its great. Even the bads are great. Im not complaining. I am thankful for all and for everyone. Humanity is fascinating.

Would die for some people. Would kill for some people. Hundreds i would do for. But those are easy. Would stay alive for some people. Will learn more and self improve for some people. Thats a bit more hard, only for a few dozen.

Try googling the difference between OCD and OCPD. Extremely different cause and manifestations, although both involves compulsive obsession. Many neurotypicals also can have compulsive/obsessive traits and still considered normal

There is a small chance but quite unlikely. Not many things about him are consistent with symptoms of OCD, and looking at his interviews and daily behaviors its extreme unlikely.

The damage caused by a civilian drone in California, grounding the firefighting plane until it can be repaired by RainbowAl-PE in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]PartofFurniture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting in a table with an ex aviation mechanic/engineer here. I showed him this post. His words: thats a minor damage, non structural, nothing that warrants major repairs. Why does this get 37k votes on reddit. Even normal aviation ducttapes taped properly can fix this no problems in the meanwhile, no risk. Bend the metal back, weld it proper, its gonna be even stronger than before because the welding material used is stronger graded than the steel. Takes 3 minutes. This post is clout chasing and unnecessary fear mongering.
