So I found this in the INFP section and thought it would be useful for my fellow INTJS. Courtesy of Nova.

Take issue with something going on in society?

Having a bad day?

Have something on your mind that wont go away?

Experience something so fabulous you just have to express it?


Post your vent here!



+ And a friendly reminder to please be respectful to other members and leave your baggage at the door.

well, my Large Doom count is back down to oh, probably around 2. bolstered by the (finally!) insertion into my bank account of september's money.

on the other hand, and maybe just because nature hates an inequity, i'm foretelling an xty-percent chance of increase in the Mild Mope contingent over the upcoming couple of days.

another day, another sprint end. fuck all android devices, that's all.

ENTP: Can I see your computer?
INTJ: Meh?
ENTP: You wanted Python on here, right?
INTJ: Meh.
ENTP: *opens browser* So, here is Anaconda... *downloads*
INTJ: Meh-meh.
ENTP: Ok, and now... *opens terminal*
INTJ: Meh?!
ENTP: *typing*
INTJ: Meh!
ENTP: *typing* ...and now we open Vagrant.
INTJ: Meh-meh-meh-meh-meh!
ENTP: ...
INTJ: MEH!
ENTP: Is there some sort of problem?
INTJ: MEH!
ENTP: Is the open terminal upsetting you?
INTJ: Meh.
ENTP: I won't hurt your computer. It's just a different way of accessing... things.
INTJ: ...meh.
ENTP: Ok. So, do you know what I am doing in the terminal?
INTJ: What is a "directory"?
ENTP: I have a suggestion: you let me finish this, and then I will explain it to you. What do you think?
INTJ: *teeth grit* ....y...yyyesss?
ENTP: Right. You're sure?
INTJ: ...
ENTP: Ok.

i'm working my way through the piece of paper that came with this replacement lamp socket i bought. and i quote the best bits.

"nipple should not extend beyond thread into cap"

"tie Underwriter's knot in wire"

"strip conductor to strip guage 3/4 . . . "

okay, i see where this is going. perhaps i should just call the artsie.

edit: no. i might be tempted just for the fun of hearing him choke as i say 'nipple', but on the other hand i am a feminist, and i can screw in my own damned light bulb.

well, that only took me - what? 5 or 6 hours? holy mcgyver but that was painful. every possible permutation of reassemble-everything-while-taking-care-to-include-two-out-of-three-components, i think i did. i can now tie an underwriter's knot to beat all.

combined with having to go through several boxes to find my pliers, trying for half an hour to get by with an adjustable wrench instead (no), deploying the veggie peeler as makeshift screwdriver, using a pair of kitchen shears to strip back fresh wire . . . while coddling unhelpfully-inflamed finger joints and trying not to damage a slightly lovely art deco lampshade made up of mica panels in a framework of fragile brass. and then i put it all back together, hung it up and discovered the little chain which you pull to turn it on and off is too short to reach through the pretty frosted-glass globe with the artful hole in the base.

used the chain off one of the bathroom-sink plugs, and only lost one screw while getting the globe into place. all i can think of is koos kombuis.

"en god het gese daar moet lig wees, en toe fokkof almal van die huis af." ja sowaar.

To: all random dudes on the internet.

No one has any rights on the internet.
A complete lack of policing and order does not grant "rights" to do whatever you want.

You don't have a "right" to be an idiot just because no one has ever done anything about it.
You just are. An idiot. And no one has ever done anything about it.


Also, typing in the comments section on a database on someone's server, somewhere in the world, is not and never will be covered under the free speech amendment. In any way. Shape. Or form.... Ever.

You are not "entitled" to express an opinion. You can have one, but that doesn't mean you are required to let other people know how stupid that opinion is.

as a fallback from the trauma of replacing lamp socket, i decided at 10 pm to go make choux pastry.

and then i thought, i've got all that mozzarella i need some kind of solution to . . . and that ham . . .

bllrrggh. all the overload richness of quiche, in a convenient hand-held muffin format.

I hate Saturdays because I have nothing to do but I hate workdays even more because I have something to do.

Argh.

Ugh. I'm not a shit eater, thus I do not want to eat industrially produced meat anymore. How do I find locally slaughtered meat (US)?

Look around for a farmer's market perhaps? If it's a real one you can talk directly to the people who grow the animals.

Happy hunting. :) (oh bad pun... )

Also, look up a locally owned butcher shop (depending on the size of the area you are in) they usually source their own meat.

Finding a source directly can get you top quality meat for a lot cheaper than supermarket prices, too. The price of lamb in the US these days is atrocious.
