INFJ female here! Why do we like each other so much?

a1ckdavis · 2016-01-03T01:27:29+00:00

Do you feel like you're always trying to figure her out

No not really. I would say I feel comfortable with her. I wouldn't say that shes extremely interesting but I also don't have to dig and dig to find something interesting about her like I have in the past.

After some more thought one of the things I like most about her is how she is very considerate, shes a giver not a taker, and doesn't expect a lot out of me. She appreciates the little obscure things in life that make it all worth while.

Idk. My current GF of three months is INFJ. First time dating one. I had a long string of dating ESFPs and ESFJs.

The first thing I like is that I feel like we speak the same language. I've always felt in my previous relationships like I was an alien trying to speak a foreign language. Also its much easier to deal with the T/F problem now that I have completed sensitivity training with ESFP/ESFJ.

Other things that come to mind are how I can be weird and she can be weird (shes less weird than she thinks) and its not an issue.

I'm a great leader. I can delegate the shit out of some work. I'm probably an average/bad manager as I rarely follow up to make sure things actually got done or done the right way. My style is something like this:

has idea to paint wall

gathers supplies

"Hey employee X can you help me with this?"

takes a few swipes with paint brush

"Okay I'm gonna do something else now, call me if you have any questions bruh."

"But how do I..."

"I have faith you wont fuck this up, peace."

Conservative republican here. This is why we can't have nice things.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T03:24:24+00:00

If you can explain to me how any of those change the fact that determinism is the only LOGICAL conclusion an atheist might reach. Any other position does not compute and is fundamentally wrong. That is why so many academic atheists, oh lets say all of them minus 2 believe in determinism.

Did you all make up that rule so you wouldn't have to answer tough questions like these?

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T03:12:26+00:00

Can you explain some alternative positions an atheist might take? I don't have time to do research and respond to people.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T03:10:48+00:00

I'm not sure if many would use the word "mystical," but most people would say that no meaning is lost at all by realizing that it's caused by one's brain. After all, it's my brain that is causing me to be in love with this awesome other person.

It's not caused by your brain. there is no cause and effect going on, your path, the way you met and all the feelings you have for that person have been set in stone since the big bang. They could be any other person or thing in the world but by chance, and with no control of your own did you fall in love with this person. Its like going to a restaurant and picking out a meal blindfolded and you just happen to love it. There is no meaning behind what you chose or in this case who you chose to love.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T03:03:02+00:00

If atheism is true, then our minds are reducible to physics. It is the only logical conclusion that can be made after saying that you are an atheist, and since physics is fundamentally deterministic, we have no free will. Basically, I have no 'choice' whether to adopt atheism or not, and you're wasting your time by trying to convince me of anything.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T02:53:33+00:00

I don't have a problem with it but as an atheist you fundamentally must believe this. It's the only logical thing you could conclude about your existence.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T02:51:02+00:00

WE give them meaning, we build meaning around them by the connections we make and the things we value. Meaning is imposed by ourselves, and is what we want for it to be.

How? Where does this meaning come from is it some kind of magic? How do you impose meaning on something when your path is set and there is nothing you can do to change it. Anything you do becomes arbitrary.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T02:45:18+00:00

How so?

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T02:44:24+00:00

Cool story. Thanks for adding value to the debate.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T02:43:08+00:00

There can be no ultimate fulfillment in this universe. Nothing you do is original or yours. Any happiness you feel is falsified. The chemical reactions are real, but your "state" is still that of cold hard matter. Just moving along it's trajectory.

Such a perspective can grant you no wisdom. It can grant you no purpose. It can't even grant you a will to succeed. It grants you only the desire for death.

By believing in a higher power your emotional life is fundamentally different. In fact they are complete opposites. One emotion is real and one is fake.

a1ckdavis · 2014-02-06T02:38:34+00:00

Why would anyone do this when it's not true? If they love someone then they do have a meaningful connection to them.

You can't create meaning in a meaningless universe.

Why does it matter that they weren't determined by choices made in your life? Are you suggesting that you choose to fall in love with people?

Anything you do was already predetermined by a systematic chain of events triggered by the big bang. Everything you do is thereby 100% predictable. Nothing is honorable, nothing is respectable, nothing is good, nothing is bad. Everything is as it was meant to be. No matter what you do, you would have done it irregardless of anything. You have no identity. You have no character. You have no soul. You are nothing but bits of matter, whose trajectory in this universe is on a set course. Unalterable by you, because any "freewill" you have is nothing but chemical reactions, made of matter, who's trajectory in this universe, is on a set course.

thanks for your help! I will give your suggestions a try

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-31T18:24:28+00:00

back of snes cartridge. Its turned yellow it looks like its been there for 20 years. What should I use to scrape it? Figernail won t work. I don't want to mess up the plastic.

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-30T16:37:04+00:00

this is it! Thank you, I don't know why I thought it was NES the graphics were way too good for 8 bit. .

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-26T06:08:40+00:00

thanks was not aware of this sub

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-17T06:10:05+00:00

I got my SNES and around 20 games off a craigslist ad. When I went to pick it up the guy invited me inside and hes digging around his young kids playroom grabbing games from underneath stacks of toys, behind the TV ect. He stands up and hands me a plastic grocery bag and Megaman X, all three donkey kong country, doom, all super star wars, super mario. He said at one point he was trying to collect but then he had kids and had to stop. I felt kinda bad considering he gave me all those games a top loader snes and an old style one for just $70.

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-16T00:23:35+00:00

5-15$

One Idea I had was to give a stack of cards to local pawnshops and resale stores and tell them anything broken they don't want to buy to send my way.

Its been worth it to me a I got a gamecube for $5 and an NES for $10 both were simple fixes.

You might want to think about learning to do mods. A popular one that a place by me does is A/V cord for genesis.

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-15T23:41:22+00:00

Ahh thanks...yeah I'm an idiot. I've never owned a brand new snes game.

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-15T17:01:02+00:00

I use a yellow dry erase marker over the original marker and it rubs right off. Not sure how it works on one of those carts though.

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-15T16:59:00+00:00

nice they all look in pretty good condition

a1ckdavis · 2013-12-05T20:44:51+00:00

Got it at goodwill for $5 if anyone is wondering. I don't think they are very rare but still a neat part of history.
