The worst was in upper level classes where class sizes were anywhere from 8-16 people in round table discussion classes and you were going back and forth on ideas and situations and you were get the heavy left liberal circlejerk that would always happen. Then when trying to show another perspective to the discussion, people would get bent out of shape with you and even after explaining that you actually agree with them but just trying to bring up other ideas instead of only discussing one side people would still try and dig your grave. In the end I found myself just being the right wing individual just in spite of the liberal assholes in the class. It even started to show up in my 15-20 page essays where I started to sound like a self hating liberal. Lol. Shit sorry about grammar. Mobile posting while working isn't the best to post lol. Try and deal with it the best you can. | ||

The amount of people that fall under that in university is way too high. Going to a quite liberal university taking political science courses (which i tend to lean liberal on most issues), trying to bring up different points that aren't quite uniform with "liberall ideals and all of sudden you are the devil lol. Being liberal on everything isn't always correct, yet some people get so angry. Lol I'm so glad I didn't take any poly sci courses, especially at my school. I'm deliberately independent (but, like you, lean "liberal" on many things), and wouldn't be able to stand it. Pigeonholing yourself to a "side" just completely shuts out any semblance of critical thinking. There is never one correct answer, so why would you want to blind yourself to any other options or perspectives. Note: this is why things like politics or economics are banned at family gatherings. | ||

(I still have a guilty pleasure of reading political policies and world politics. Just to see what's going on. Even find myself wanting to click Microsoft word to type a quick opinion piece to flush out my thoughts on it but never do. Just go back to seshing games) | ||

It's like some Jehovah's witness coming to your door EVERY day to try to convert you. At some point you just slam the door in their face and don't want to listen anymore. | ||

I haven't researched Jung specifically, just theories derived afterwards. I'm sure there's a lot of psychological debate to be had in regards to the topic, but after reading it a lot of things people do make sense. Beyond MBTI stuff I'm in the middle of a book with a slightly different angle, Please Understand Me. It's all about insights into people's preferences. It's quite amusing to read through the american politics thread and think an SJ would say that. Yep there's the NF response. | ||

Do you subconsciously note where they're "from"? Their signature? First check is to see how long it is. If it's more than like 2 paragraphs I'm probably not reading it unless it's specifically responding to me. Hence, I've only read maybe 1/14th of Alaric's posts. | ||

I read posts first, and for the most part in the threads with a lot of reoccurring people (like this thread and GD), it's pretty obvious who wrote it.

What else is there to say, other than "ww support doesn't cuz pre 6 you're fucking useless" | ||

Do you subconsciously note where they're "from"? Their signature? Generally read first, often the icon sticks out in the corner of my eye and I might have a general idea of who's posting. If it's a long post, I'll scan it quickly for any relevant info I might want to really read (very relevant in this thread - I know almost nothing about JRPGs, so often skip over most of those posts). Poster is sometimes the last thing I look at. I rarely notice sigs unless they stand out for any reason. | ||

The TL+ forum is pretty meh, though those Idra comments in the TL+ LoL forum was fun to go through. No ads are pretty freaking slick too (easily the best part). Thanks <3 my favorite Bronze player. | ||
