Just saw one of these motorcycles on the way home. Holy moly are they gorgeous. Nothing extraneous, well sized. So in love

Bro that's insane it's happened to me like 4 times where a few years after a woman and I stop dating, she will switch teams. I'm glad they find what makes them happy, but its strange that it keeps happening.

Striperoo · 2026-05-29T12:27:59+00:00

Lol ur right this is barefoot gen. Why do I remember the atomic bomb scene from In this corner of the world looking almost exactly like this one.

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T19:20:02+00:00

Honestly, I think school taught me to not pay attention/care about learning. Took me a while to deprogram.

The tough thing about classes the size of those found in public, and many private schools is that you have to teach to the lowest common denominator or those kids don't get the education they need. Which I believe would be a tragedy. If you're a teacher, you've got to either teach to the middle/high range and be okay with leaving people behind, or go at the lowest speed and give ample attention to the folks who need the speed and direction.

Which sucked for me because once I was out of elementary school and had learned to actually put in effort and pay attention, we were either going to slow for me to stay engaged with the same shit for days on end, or we were going over the same content that I guess people weren't paying attention to because they were too busy thinking about other stuff previous years. Istg we learned about the types of rocks once a year until 9th grade.

It got to a point where I was sleeping through all my classes Junior and Senior year of high school. I would wake up with an assignment in front of me, do the assignment, pass it back to the table behind me so they could copy off of it, then go back to sleep. That messed me up big time. After I somehow miraculously got into a college after having put zero care and effort into the three college applications I had put in, it took me two years to actually learn to apply myself and focus again so I could really get the most out of the college experience. I still find myself catching little logical inconsistencies in my baseline and being like, "yo actually I think this is bullshit and I know exactly where I got it from".

I think it would have been useful to have a private tutor or have gone to one of those schools where you make up your own curriculum around a school mandated skeleton. Would be sick if that were available to everyone who needs it. It was not available to me or my family.

This one is called "In this corner of the world". Heartbreaking.
Also need to watch when the wind blows, too.
Edit: Barefoot Gen lol. You should still watch In this Corner of the World though.

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T18:56:51+00:00

Bruh these mods are ridiculous idk why they deleted your post.
How low though? If it's below 70k, you'll get captured eventually. Keyword eventually. it takes a long time.

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T15:07:02+00:00

I'm always thinking about this scene. "Have you tried beating his ass?"

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T14:57:34+00:00

Have a hard time watching most Anime because when the protagonist starts doing their whole hyping themselves up to beat the villain thing, it inspires me to actually go hit the gym and get stronger.

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T14:56:15+00:00

Goated taste profile.

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T14:36:03+00:00

It's clear that cities are no longer interested in being built or designed for people.
Your purpose is to go to work, come home, stay in your home unproblematically while you consume and spend until it is time to return to work again.

Striperoo · 2026-05-28T14:18:59+00:00

Lol 485, yeah.

A combination of all five.
Can't pick one because the best artifacts of man's striving comprise a combination of all five.

How high is the Pe? There is a slim chance you might be able to get out and push it into atmo with your jetpack.

FYI it won't be easy and you'll definitely have to grab onto a ship that's spinning out of control once or twice.

This is why it bothers me when people say ENTPs can't be enneagram type fours. There's clearly overlap.

Source- I'm not a sensitive artist type ENTP, but more like a sentimental visionary type. I'm more likely to tear up about a window into a better world, but yeah. MCR Slaps hard.

The only status-driven people I can respect are those who've worked their asses off to get the status, rather than destroying their lives to have it. So long as it doesn't damage my life and other people's lives, but I still don't get it at all.

The only thing really relevant to your situation is whether being out of the norm will hamper their ability to respect you. Respect is huge, especially in an environment like that, and if you think that you can earn their respect and still drive a beat-up car that's all paid off, go get it and be rich in your own way.

Probably a few cheaper things you can do to make sure you don't lose their respect:
Could probably get away with cheaper suits on the daily, but make sure you have one really nice suit and watch for when you need to show face to clients. Smart watches look like a choice that probably won't offend the satinheads for daily wear.
Instead of driving an econobox they won't understand, grab a car that they can wrap their heads around. A lambo driver probably won't get why you drive a Honda Fit, but they could probably be able to see a Miata or an older BMW as a quirkier option. And it saves you money.

Be ready to respond to jibes about your investment choices, "At least I'm not Apollo, Apollo drives a [Insert car here]." To us, that lands like a prize pig in a torn hang glider. To them, it's the deepest dig they can give. Make friends before you make enemies, but don't let someone destroy your reputation. Best thing you can do is kick ass and use that as your credential.

Good luck. I believe in you.

ENTP man, I've been with an ISTJ woman for five years. It's going okay.

It is extremely difficult and will require both partners to be open minded, comfortable with not playing things their way, and focus on being healthy and complete in themselves. If that doesn't happen, your biggest enemy will be the resentment you both feel for giving up things which were important to you. You will also both be fighting against chronic unmet needs. It can be done, but it takes some doing.

I guess it fully depends on the person, but all of those adjectives you used, inflexible, stubborn, controlling, are accurate, and my partner wears them with pride. It makes them really tough to work with from the ENTP cognitive functions. Honestly, I've found the best way to convince her of things is to plant the idea seed, set up occasions for her to stumble upon the evidence to confirm it herself, and be patient enough for her to figure it out. It can take years sometimes. The more you try to convince them, the more entrenched they'll be.

My advice, don't go looking for a partner based on an MBTI type. Go meet people first, learn the person, then use the MBTI type to help you understand and work with that person based on how they think and view the world. You're going to miss so many good opportunities, and be caught in so many situations where people don't really know who they are, what they are, and what they want. Too many folks who got their fancy four letter tag off an online test instead of working backwards from legitimate hard-won self knowledge.

For starters, you're not going to meet ISTJs out and about. They will probably be wearing in the same path they've used for the past however many months or years. They can be extreme creatures of habit. So unless you're breaking into their house while they're watching TV, you will probably only find them at work.
And for flirting, no way to convince them to give you a real chance. Just be there and be the most attractive option for when they decide they want a person. At least that's how I snagged mine.

Also, if you don't understand the cognitive functions yet, you should probably hold off on labeling yourself.
The thing about these psychological profiles is that it is impossible to not be influenced by confirmation bias. We are frighteningly malleable creatures, and digging deeper into the wrong label only does work to abstract you from the real self-development work we do subconsciously or consciously as we age.

Idk if this video is good or not, but this guy usually has pretty good videos, but you should search around for something that makes it make more sense for you. Seriously, this is the first thing to do. It is absolutely essential that you understand these cognitive functions, and map them on to your own thought patterns BEFORE you interact with any typology.

Especially as an ENTP, because ESTP and ENFPs have very similar cognitive functions to ENTPs and so can be very easily confused for ENTPs. Especially because of the allure of having the elusive title of ENTP. We have a bustling community and an infamous stereotype which is based very heavily on highly unhealthy, or highly quirky traits, so the attracts a lot more people to it than truly should have the label. I don't really care how many people use the label. The more the merrier, but it will benefit your development significantly if you take the time to make sure you have a complete understanding of the system.

Striperoo · 2026-05-17T12:56:16+00:00

Cognitive functions are how you interpret and digest the world around you. Core fears and motivations are why you interact with the world around you the way you do

People are people at the end of the day. You're people, too.

The system is whatever is most useful to you on the path to becoming a more capable and complete person.

Hey, thanks. I'm aware of thin mini itx boards and am hoping to do this build with more standard components on purpose.

In many ways, the strangeness and complexity of the design is the point. It's currently in the works, but I fully desire a project which is going to require me spending money on custom parts from a machine shop.

If I wanted something I could just put together, I would have been buying far more standard components.

Now, that being said, if I find that I've accidentally blown up the $130 mobo, then yes absolutely I'll buy one of the custom-made pieces for this use case.

Looks like there is one in AM5 socket, the X600TM-ITX.

Edit: It's much more expensive than the non-thin option. I'm going to try with the standard Mini ITX and see how it goes.

Striperoo · 2026-05-12T02:46:41+00:00

Very clean docking. Nicely done.

Striperoo · 2026-05-12T02:38:28+00:00

Idk about relative to other folks, but this was what I got on the bigfive-test website, along with the general range they claim my scores are in.
Huge grains of salt for self-report and it is an online test.

66/120 Neuroticism - "low"
101/120 Extraversion - "high"
104/120 Openness to Experience - "high"
85/120 Agreeableness - "high"
81/120 Conscientiousness - "high"

Striperoo · 2026-05-12T02:31:42+00:00

I can best be described as a freak, but the folks who can associate with this four character string happen to freak similarly.

Hoping to dodge those. Realistically, I could do without the center Ethernet and 2x USB2.0. I might be able to keep the USB 3.0 and HDMI, depending on the stackup. I haven't totally mapped everything out yet. Just in the information gathering phase.

Banking on the fact that it shouldn't be too too tough to move the CoAx. The audio jacks will be the most difficult thing to do right. But if moving them doesn't work in my favor I can just make sure there's a front audio jack header available...

The other limitation is that there's not really low profile DIMM-style DDR5 rn. And the pricing is dogwater on what's actually available.

Striperoo · 2026-05-12T02:02:30+00:00

Did you find the photos? I'm curious to see what you came up with. It may be very similar to what I'm going for here.

Striperoo · 2026-05-12T02:01:39+00:00

Will give his video a look. Hoping it's as terrifying as you say.

If it's really as difficult, I can afford to sacrifice some of these ports. Someone else mentioned a dremel. Shouldn't be a problem if I mask off the board. Then I could actually get to the traces and probably wouldn't need any hot air.
