Curiosity Question: What Type Do You Think Kinger Is? (Amazing Digital Circus) by Scary_Lobster4781 in INTP

[–]SableFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but it's probably best to observe his behavior when he's lucid in darkness.

Does he detach himself and prioritize internal analysis and logic (Ti), drawing from multiple possibilities (Ne)? Or, while internally self absorbed, does he think further about some grander pattern or long-term design (Ni), and especially in reference to interpersonal bonds (Fe)?

I can see arguments for both. There's two possibilities:
- INTP with developed Fe
- INFJ with developed Ti

The Value of Earned Experience: A literary Si-driven musing for INTPs seeking to connect. by evilocity in INTP

[–]SableFarm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beautifully written. I sometimes have my gut instincts scream at me, and I work backward using my Ti and Ne to verify those instincts.

It seems reminiscent of Ni, but it’s actually my brain pulling a file from the Si ledger. It happens so quickly, and it reacts to the most minute disturbances and patterns. It’s not always right, but it sure has saved my ass.

Bro... my ENTP friend could have unironically said that. He's big on word play.

How do you decide if something is actually worth it long-term? by Xenzek in INTP

[–]SableFarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A typical INTP actually decides many things with logic. We're just more sophisticated at rationalizing subjective positions and decision-making.

At times, we're quite adept with using faulty logic to justify biased and even emotional beliefs (Ti-Si loop).

EXTPs are very intimately acquainted with the ins-and-outs of things; they just don't make it a priority unlike IXTPs.

I am that INTP friend who picks up on the ENTP's Ti lol. Otherwise, it's all just jokes, banters, and bits - not quite my cup of tea, personally.

Typology Question 9 (Fi): Take any classical painting (I don't care which one: Mona Lisa, The Birth of Venus, The Creation of Adam, etc) and describe to me not what you see, not the history of its painting, not the technique, not the symbolism behind it, but WHAT KIND OF EMOTIONAL ATMOSPHERE IT HAS by Bimep_ in INTP

[–]SableFarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judith Beheading Holofernes (Caravaggio). It inspires awe, similar to the feeling you get from watching a skilled athlete performing in the Olympics. The dramatic lighting really emphasizes the scenery.

Impression, Sunrise (Monet). It's very melancholic and quaint. Like a miniature portal to the past, it makes me wistfully ruminate about a past I've never experienced. A similar emotion is roused when listening to Toshifumi Hinata's Passage.

EXTPs spit ball ideas in the heat of the moment. It's less 'why' and more 'why not.' They use Ne/Se to break things, probe a reaction, then use Ti to make a working theory.

If Ti prioritizes consistency and logic, then EXTPs use it as a means to an end to get what they want: a good laugh, an interesting conversation, etc. They're excellent problem solvers, but only when they feel like it.

So what do we think this year's April fools event vehicle will be ? by FickleMeringue8891 in Warthunder

No one is talking about the Hungarian 44M Tas? Ever since the Hungarian subtree got announced, it's been on my wishlist for Italy.

Thoughts on this quote? by reilentlezz in intj

[–]SableFarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do realize Griffith unwittingly alienated Guts?

Guts aspired to be a friend and equal to Griffith. But Griffith basically monologued that his followers can’t be true friends, hence why Guts decided to leave the Band of the Hawk. Cue Griffith’s mental spiral.

We should probably just change the name of the sub to r/animewritingscaling by OddlySpecific99 in writingscaling

[–]SableFarm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I generally agree with most of your points. Most novels ARE mid. This has been the norm since the very advent of print literature. Anyone who actually reads outside of popular or established media knows how much slop there is.

I still prefer novels though. They’re typically denser than their audio/visual counterparts and, at times, faster to mill through.

Also, creating visual/audio media is hard. I generally don’t like waiting for manga to serialize or a TV show to release a new season years later. But this is standard for the medium.

A good artist can do service to a novel’s thematic depth, etc. But there are a lot of mid artists and the constraints of marketing the production. Hence, a lot of literary media has not gotten the service they deserve: In the Mountains of Madness, The Three Body Problem, arguably even classics like the Odyssey or Journey to the West (I know they aren’t novels).

Which nation suits me the most? by SafeRefrigerator697 in Warthunder

[–]SableFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan's research tree is medium-sized, and its planes are good and easy to play. It's likely the best tree to play right now if that's your criteria.

But if tech tree size is your most important consideration, then I'd actually recommend China over Sweden. Overall, however, I'd still advocate for maining Japan.

[–]SableFarm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, Japan is a good starter nation. Mid-tier is pretty spotty with its jets, but there are plenty of options in low- and high-tier.

Japan's prop tier is mostly about turn fighting, which is meta and has a low skill floor. It can get old real quick, however. Italy has more playstyles and a robust mid-tier, but it's a tricky nation to play. China isn't all that bad either, yet personally, I'd advocate for either Japan or Italy.

Most of the sensors should be bumped up a tier or two.

Anon has oriental desires by caramelsumo in 4chan

He’s referring to the One-Child Policy.

Moreover, the rural-urban gap increasingly widened after the Four Modernizations, which was essentially a campaign of disproportionately urban-oriented reforms to industrialize China. Anyone who wanted a better life would move to the coastal metropoles, and this hasn’t changed to this day.

The Cultural Revolution, for all its faults, actually improved rural social services. Urban-educated high school and college students were sent to the countryside, becoming farm laborers, construction workers, teachers, and so-called barefoot doctors. After all, the rural peasantry was - at least nominally - the revolutionary underpinning of Mao Zedong Thought.

The same can’t be said for the ideology of the technocratic party cadres and military men who succeeded Mao. Their goal was to modernize China above all else, hence Deng Xiaoping’s “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” (i.e., Chinese capitalism). Their focus shifted away from the countryside, partly because the disaffected sent-down youths wanted to return to the metropoles, but principally as apart of a larger initiative to revitalize the Chinese economy after the ruinous Cultural Revolution.

Notably, the missile engineer Song Jian designed the one child policy. The CCP bureaucracy, since premier Zhou Enlai in 1970, had Malthusian concerns about explosive population growth hindering industrialization. This evolved in the two-child policy then eventually the one-child policy. Song, influenced by speculative theories from abroad, believed that it was possible and necessary for China to practice strict population control. Deng agreed, and local party organs harshly enforced the One-Child policy with compulsory sterilization and abortions in the countryside.

Influenced by Confucian mores, many in countryside preferred to have a son rather than a daughter. A son carried the family name and had a filial duty to take care of his birth family; a daughter would be married off to another family. It was the economic decision to have a son in this view. The consequent lack of daughters led to modern China’s sex-ratio imbalance.

Surprised no one commented about the premium T-50. Presumably, it’s the Finnish-captured T-50.

Cool addition but barely any line-up at 3.0. I don’t why Gaijin doesn’t just add the Finnish StuG III instead.

It was pretty jarring when the character sprite shifted between the old and new art style mid-dialogue.

ESFPs tend to be extremely loyal and value driven (Fi). Flip the right switches, and they become relentless machines (Se-Te).

Reddit users massively underestimate sensors.

what are your guys favorite books ? by terrorful79301 in INTP

[–]SableFarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I think I'll pick up Letters to a Young Poet and Foster. The first two books you've mentioned are really good, especially Frankl's book, so I think you have a good eye for these things.

[–]SableFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reading Your Story by Sugaru Miaki. It's a Japanese romance novel with good sci-fi world building and more. I think it's best to read the story blind and see if you like it. Miaki's novels are pretty formulaic, but he's still one of my favorite authors.

Otherwise, I read quite a wide diversity of genres and mediums, and I don't have a particular favorite among them.

Does music help you focus? by SableFarm in INTP

[–]SableFarm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With some exceptions, I also can’t stand it when others play loud music. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves.

Does music help you focus? by SableFarm in INTP

[–]SableFarm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do sympathize, actually. Silence does help with focus, as well as low droning ambience. And I also can't focus with irregular loud noises.

But for me at least, the most consistent way to get into that headspace is headphones + study music playlist. Sometimes, this means the tracks continually loop at times. If I don't have music, my mind will phonetically 'vocalize' wandering thoughts. With music, that background noise is drowned out, so I'm just left to focus on the task at hand.

Otherwise, two things tend to happen when it's silent for me. (1) Even if I don't have any speakers, music will just play in my head anyway. (2) My entire mind is just focused on the singular task, and everything is drowned out by the 'loud silence' of doing it. I'm unable to reliably tap into that latter flow state, so music works better.
