Yeah ~ things change and people often only like how it used to be,,

I've only seen the 1st season of DeathNote, but I loved it a lot @u@

pushka  ·  3104 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favorite television series and why?

Adventure Time - It's ridiculous at times, has some heavy moments, mixtures of emotions (like strange/gross/creepy/cute/etc)

Black Books - U.K. amazingness~ go watch it now~ @u@

Community - College! woo~

Freaks and Geeks - When I was young, I resonated with the geeks, I watched the series recently and resonated with Lindsay and her friends, also their conservative parents/ family/ family friends

Invader Zim - It's ridiculous and dark~

Death Note - Introvert battle of wits, world domination, adorable vampire guy living in a basement

Azumanga Daioh - It's made of cute, and funny/ crazy/ subtle/ humour at times

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Because I'm a gay hipster man and why the hell not; is cute, I love some recesses of the community - first and only escapades into a fandom~

Black Mirror/ Walking Dead/ GoT - Holy crap, finally the s***ty TV bubble has burst, and companies are making something awesome and then having a monopoly on viewership and competing with whatever follows suit - these episodes are like movie-quality, awesome~ yay darkness, violence and feeling things ~

Fuzzy rugs envelope me from top and below. Light filters from the beautiful Elizabeth Bay scene outside the shades, burning sunlight glistening on the ripples of the harbour.

A solid glass table rests on the ground by my sleeping face and cats sleep on a nearby chair in the stylish living room.

My friend bustles around preparing for her ex-manager and his boyfriend, who will be returning to their place shortly and I think about what the coming day holds ~

Yes ~ it's awesome,

I think this album is the first (that's non-classical/ non-soundtrack) that I love in its entirety.. I usually really like a few songs from an artist and not want to listen to their other stuff,,

pushka  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 132nd Weekly "Share Some Music You've Been Into Lately" Thread

I know it's some dated pop, but I've been listening to

1000 forms of fear - Sia

I love it ~ it has some dark/heavy themes, a pleasant diverse mix of styles (pop, electric) and has some strange/ quirky elements which I love ~

You could also set a delay of 1 min. between donation amounts:

person 1 donated $100 - gets message

wait 1 min

person 2 and 3 donated $1.55 - get message

wait 1 min

person 4,5,6,7,8 donated $1 - get an email

wait 1 hour

message everyone else about stickers ~ (or something)

Ah ok - so the programmers must be thinking: global = all posts, but filtering a person trumps this.

If global filtered tags, it would have a functionality more similar to feed/

pushka  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I filtered #spam but i still see tagged posts in global

Global means all/ filters are ignored ~

pushka  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pushka's Block List - hidden/ ignore

It's a personal reference - so I added the ignore tag.. I'm hoping that the tag will fill with rubbish and people will filter the tag out of their stream, so people can comfortably share a post without notifying anyone - and then they can link to the post in another post (like a hidden post)

I don't care if people mute me - they can do what they want, and I'll do what I want, but I'm going to filter their posts and hush their comments, because they don't want me to interact with them, so I wont.

pushka  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pushka's Block List - hidden/ ignore

No - do you feel some hostility emanating from it?

I just want to keep track of users I'm muting/filtering and why - in case they send angry messages or something

There's only one person on the list currently and I know nothing about them or why I can't comment on their posts - so I obviously don't hate them..

I think the muting function is very silly.. my comments on their posts should just be hidden from them, or their posts should be hidden from me.. I thought Hubski was supposed to be anti-censorship? I thought that we were supposed to be our /own/ moderators, not moderating for others in our own threads.. but whatever..

pushka  ·  3195 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pushka's Block List - hidden/ ignore

Yeah, global will ignore all filters. I'm ok with this,

I definitely don't think it's a new doctrine straight from the finger of God; but it definitely helped me be more self aware, and was really interesting; I know for people who are in tune with their mind it will be a waste of time, and some people will have a balance of the binary systems, so the horoscope stereotypes will be useless..

I'll just excited about the analysis because it had impacted me a lot recently ~

pushka  ·  3199 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski feedback/ feature request - follow others' block lists

Was the person crying in a debate club debate?

Do the people you debate know that debating is your hobby?

Some people don't like debating and argument, and just want to honestly discuss and debate what the opponent actually believes..

pushka  ·  3199 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski feedback/ feature request - follow others' block lists

Oh my gosh, I've read about this personality type, dissecting arguments by arguing views one doesn't believe just to see the responding arguments, sounds frustrating from my perspective,,

pushka  ·  3199 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski feedback/ feature request - follow others' block lists

I know - it's responsibility and power; but it's still self-moderation, just optional outsourcing to others' self-moderation (being under their wing, or partially so..)

Pretty much I'm lazy, and I like the site dynamics as they are, so I'm scared of them changing and want to launch a pre-emptive strike - because it's easier to start separating and segregating astute/ insightful/ brilliant commentary from crap /now/ rather than trying to do it on a larger scale once the community is huge.

The result could be like sub-hubski boards (EG: ask-hubski) - but without knowing it there could be multiple overlapping types of communities on the same board - like trans-dimensional communities in the same space.

Ah, cool ~ I'm I 67% N 62% T 38% J 11% on last check

Yeah, I definitely have things to work on - though I don't know if it's only personality type or other things.. I have massive avoidance of conflict, unhealthy boundaries, hiding emotions, emotionally unavailable, @__@,, But my biggest problem is that I wasn't aware of everything until these last few months where I ran into descriptions of myself online and realised.. I'm so oblivious to the inside of my mind @__@,, but now I can focus on craziness and adjust (maybe)~

pushka  ·  3200 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 16 way split - Personality Types - Briggs Myers Jung

Oh no

Yeah, I'm 11% sway in Judgement/Perceiving away from being INTP, so I can relate to all the horoscope-markers and I'm always paranoid that I did something wrong (..like as if we could get wrong how we react to things,,) - and I'm scared that I'll be a non-INTJ, but after years of time, changes in religion/ philosophy/ career/ habbits/ etc. ~ it's always the same ~

One of the most interesting things I read about INTP was that the dev. from child to adult goes through a default "accept what I'm given as True" going into -> "throw this initial truth away, and everything else - I can't know the truth, no one does" (which apparently leads to finding out stuff later on in life or something)

This exactly happened to me (turning point age 23 which is quite old..) - have any similar exp?

Conundrum..

pushka  ·  3199 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 16 way split - Personality Types - Briggs Myers Jung

Sorry about my confusing summary, it makes sense in my mind..

Accepting a presented truth as absolute truth, not a natural skeptic, but then feeling that truth can't be known and throwing it all away

Here's the original

Phase I (Childhood)

This phase is characterized by the emergence and differentiation of INTPs’ dominant function, Introverted Thinking (Ti). Early in life, INTPs often employ their Ti to focus on one or two pursuits. They may, for instance, use it to master video games, program computers, get good grades, or perfect their 5 K time. Since Ti is a Judging function, INTPs tend to take themselves and their lives quite seriously. Even from a relatively young age, they are self-disciplined and goal-oriented, striving for excellence in whatever captures their interests.

While often described as pure skeptics, this is not characteristic of many Phase I INTPs. While INTPs are naturally logical thinkers, they, like ISTPs, are not born skeptics. INTPs start with a given (T), and if clearly not unreasonable, will assume it true unless their Ne or Si suggest otherwise (functions which in this phase are not well developed). INTJs, by contrast, whose first function is Intuition (Ni), do not start with a given, but approach things more openly, through the eyes of perception. They use their Intuition to discern whether or not something seems viable. Consequently, INTJs are often ahead of INTPs, as well as most other types, when it comes to formulating their own personalized worldview.

Phase II (Adolescence-30s)

Once their dominant Ti reaches a certain level of consciousness and differentiation, INTPs’ inferior function, Extraverted Feeling (Fe), enters the picture and begins to play a more influential role. INTPs are not immune from the dominant-inferior wrestlings described in our Introduction, making this phase as challenging for them as it is for other types.

Phase II INTPs also show increasing use and development of their auxiliary function, Extraverted Intuition (this can also begin in Phase I for some INTPs). During this phase, INTPs often develop a stronger interest in intellectual and philosophical endeavors, poised to see and understand “the big picture.” They also become more skeptical toward certain Ti conclusions they made in Phase I. Developing their Ne involves an opening of prior judgments to allow an influx of new information. But since Ne is extraverted and expansive, INTPs must explore a breadth of ideas before they feel confident about who they are and what they believe. Thus, Phase II INTPs may find it much easier to identify what they don’t believe than what they do believe. Many will struggle with nihilism and relativism, worried that they may never find absolute truth. It can therefore take INTPs a great deal of time, even well into their thirties, to discern what they believe about the world and about themselves, let alone figure out what they should be doing. Unfortunately, societal pressures and expectations often push Phase II INTPs (as well as other types) into relationships or careers well before they are ready.

Phase II INTPs may also begin to tap into their tertiary function, Introverted Sensing (Si). They use their Si to recall past experiences and acquired wisdom. This prevents them from having to retread paths they have already explored in the past
