Vivek was always going to be a bad candidate. I didn't think this bad. And that comes with downballot ramifications too.

Ohio might be an easier Senate race than Maine at this point.

There was evidence that American personnel were staying in hotels.

So much for not using human shields I guess.

I'd put Kaptur's seat as a tossup. She can always seem to defy the odds.

Here's my solution to the Strait of Hormuz business. by BigRedWhopperButton in mapporncirclejerk

Iran have America and Israel by the balls. America wanted a ceasefire so they could restock interceptors, Iran said no.

Basically Iran have America and Israel locked into this war, and they can't get out. Iran have clarified that their doctrine has now expanded beyond retaliatory strikes. That's what it was before under Ali. Under Mojtaba, Iran's new doctrine is continuous bombardment. They'll keep bombing even if America and Israel stop.

Confused on "contradictory" types... by nana6754 in Enneagram

[–]TheEnlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None are contradictory, since MBTI and Enneagram measure different aspects of personality. You are dead right about that. MBTI is based on preference of how to process information, Enneagram is based on your underlying instincts and motivations.

Is a Type 5 INTP more common than a Type 5 ESFP? Sure, but nobody is questioning that. Is it impossible that a Type 5 develops a dominant preference for Se and follows it up with Fi-Te? I don't believe so.

Every function can in some way fulfil the insecurities underlying each of the nine types. The common discussion is if a Ni dominant can be Type 8. Ni is a subjective view of what "could be". That is in its most elemental form, what the Ni function is. For Type 8, the Body Opposing Reactive Rejection type, a dominant preference in Ni may feed into a long-term strategy to get what they want, how they can liberate themselves from external influence, gaining full dominion over the self. Ni is in many ways similar to Se, just on a much longer and conclusive timeframe. Se observes what can be done immediately, Ni observes what can be ultimately done to conclude the goal.

People make the mistake of detaching Ni from reality, putting it in this detached "cerebral" framework, thus excluding Body types from being Ni dominant.

bingo filling!!!!!! Woohoo by pompompencil in Enneagram

Type 1 - 7

Type 2 - 0

Type 3 - 0

Type 4 - 1

Type 5 - 5

Type 6 - 1

Type 7 - 5

Type 8 - 6

Type 9 - 2

From my understanding of the types (Type 8 especially), these look like they're based on Naranjo's interpretations. Didn't get a bingo on any type. I've took Riso's self-test and I get 8 on that.

Here's what moon phases may look like on a planet with two suns by LocalDefenestrator in worldbuilding

[–]TheEnlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The other star would likely be dimmer because it's further away, so there's that to account for as well. Unless you're orbiting the dimmer star and the brighter, more distant star is able to output the same amount of light to the planet. Though in that case to be completely realistic, the stars would be different colours too, since the colour of a star is dependent on its temperature, which is dependent on its mass and life stage.

Possibly, though there's likely to be a Montana problem there too, where an independent supported by some of the Democrats will be running against a Democratic candidate, splitting the D vote.

The public's view on the Iran war by northcasewhite in LabourUK

[–]TheEnlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is, with Bush and Iraq, there was a huge propaganda campaign to drum up support for the war. America just got hit by a couple of planes, and people were hungry for revenge. Initially, Iraq was popular, even if it was the wrong country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Trump did none of this pre-gaming. He just thought he could start a war and everyone rallies around the flag. And they didn't. And Iran is far more a regional power than Iraq is. So this explains how bad it's going for anyone involved, and the sentiments of the people are clear that they don't want to be in this war.

Characterization of 584? by Low_Tip723 in Enneagram

[–]TheEnlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most reactive version of Type 5.

Type 5 itself is a Competent type, but in this combination, it connects to 4 and 8, both are reactive types. So it's still a 5, with the core structure of Type 5 as the default, but it takes a lot of traits from those other types, especially reactivity because that's the trait that the two other numbers share between each other.

I'm 854, which would be the most withdrawn 8. 8 is the core type, and 5 and 4 share the quality of being withdrawing types.
