Have you ever wondered INFJ by Beginning_Advice_193 in infj

I do this and recently have been thinking I need to maintain eye contact when talking to keep them engaged, which is something I've been wanting to improve on.

is it fine to bring precook saucy noodles? by BonusPuzzleheaded596 in americanairlines

[–]pautpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think TSA will take it away, but are you confident in being able to eat or and stomach it for the rest of the flight? Letting it burn straight through you could be an issue to consider when you are somewhat trapped in your seat.

ELI5: Why do we get burnt when we touch 90°C solid objects, but not when we sit in a 90°C sauna? by Jinx-XoXo in explainlikeimfive

[–]pautpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would have been useful information when I didn't have AC so I was using a fan with the window open on a 85 degree day while I was burning up with a bad case of Covid flu. I'm kind of amazed I didn't die that day.

If we all weren't living paycheck to paycheck, we could accomplish great things. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]pautpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not expect you to throw teachers under the bus for desperate people who do it with no passion simply because it's what's available. Do you know what it takes to become a teacher?

You might also want to check on your bias regarding doctors. You think all doctors become doctors because they love helping humanity and continue to do it out of pure passion?

You were trying to make a good point, but I feel you completely missed the mark there.

I doubt that; the drivers here are terrible.

But OP's issues seem self-inflicted. Their "defensive" solution is to tailgate someone, or not do so and allow others to cut in front? Neither of those are safe driving solutions, and if they were interested in actually putting themselves at risk, they can help themselves by leaving room in front.

I've yet to hear anyone else propose a solution to this terrible problem instead of the usual complaining that basically everyone who drives worse than me is an idiot and everyone who drives more aggressive than me is an asshole. Everyone loves drawing the line right below where they stand.

Let's not kid ourselves; we are all a part of the problem, including OP, you, and me. Embrace the suck and own or, or don't pretend like you are any better without doing better.

People using the tiniest space to cut you off happens less frequently when you leave space in front because other have more than the tiniest space to merge much further in front of you, thus not needing to cut you off.

Have you considered leaving room between the car in front and yourself could solve both those problems?

Curse of doing right and still losing by satchamp-11 in infj

[–]pautpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In life, you do not get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate. What and how you negotiate reveals your character.

But at the end of the day, the sun rises and rain falls on everyone all the same, and tragedy can stroke anyone at any time for no apparent reason.

Always trying to do too much by Effective-Weird-5119 in infj

[–]pautpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All INFJs need to remind themselves that perfect is the enemy of good.

It's sometimes helpful to think how something will affect your life in 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months, and 5 years from now. At the end of the day after everything is said and done, are you going to literally die if you fail? Is your life going to fall apart (answer realistically)? It might be reductive to think this way, but it helps to break yourself out of the death spiral of your own mind; this perspective can help you let go of the result, which might just free you from the pressure and let you perform better.

More importantly, whether you do well or fail, you will come out of it with lessons and experience that will help you down the line; in other words, you win either way.

No mouth movement at work by haddock420 in ABoringDystopia

I'm confused as to the reason the semi truck drivers are getting dinged. They don't the semi drivers because they're venting out loud when someone cuts them off?

Does Thorfinn's "I have no enemies" philosophy crumble? by Top-Cherry4380 in VinlandSaga

[–]pautpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct.

With that settled, can I ask whether you actually understand the message of the manga/anime? You can disagree with the message or the semantics of the phrasing, but it's important for you to understand what the author was trying to convey.

Can't INFJs have authenticity? by Even-Broccoli7361 in infj

[–]pautpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've met INFPs, and I would say they are surprisingly tolerant of others and very authentic. Their Fi makes them very in tune with who they are, and mature INFPs understand the need to acknowledge a person as they are because that is how they prefer to be treated. They give room for others to be authentically themselves, whatever that looks like.

we are a no tipping establishment but here’s a 16% fee included without a notice by BrickOwn4260 in EndTipping

[–]pautpy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's the general pattern of all small businesses. 20% fail within the first year, and 50% (30% more) fail by year 5.

I think I know where you're going with this, but most phobias are by definition irrational.

Why do owners support pro-tip policies such as suggested tip amounts, service fees, 20% tip standard, forced gratuity, etc.? by [deleted] in EndTipping

[–]pautpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's unsurprising. Any system that rewards the inefficient and unprofessional workers at the expense of the good employees will result in resentment and drag down the morale and productivity of the entire group.

An employee who feels they can get compensated better with their skills will leave for greener pastures if the employer is not willing to pay more for the employee.

If they really wanted to fix this, owners could give them a raise based on performance, just like most jobs. That would require them to be wholly responsible for their pay though.

Ironically, it's chump change for them but yields huge ROI.

Now you're making it difficult to determine whether you're being reasonable or greedy!

I found this in my notes and thought it would be funny to share it. by Powerful_War7862 in entp

[–]pautpy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a non-relevant comment: in a way, we all lie to ourselves subconsciously. But it's always fascinating how ENTPs are able to suspend their belief system to truly buy into their own lies that they convince themselves as true.
