Wow, you really dropped a truth bomb there, didn’t you, @animal? Hollywood is ruining our lives and we don’t even realize it.

@Faerie - this made me laugh. Haha, I just say what I see and this stuff seems so obvious to me -  but I guess I did drop a bomb! hahaha.

Maybe I have the 'truth bomb' effect because I lack persuasive qualities and 'subt…Read more

Interesting!!

Had never considered Ti-Se for David Bowie, what with the high Fe being constantly talked about in regards to his typing on other fora. But indeed; his Ji rigidness is unmistakable.

I approve of the "TiSe drag-queen shade" title, lol. I really dressed down in that video, but my usual attire, while not drag-queen, tends to be quite…Read more

I remembered a talk against ideas like "follow your dreams!".

@animal, that's a good distinction. Both have elements of "against all odds," but delta is more specifically the underdog one. My view is probably colored by the gammas I know who strongly root for the underdog, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a theme. Also, they do conceive of the problem in different terms.

@fae, does this resonate with…Read more

@Fae, both my husband and I rejected the Baby Boomer's advice: Do what you love. Eventually I kind of took that road, but not for a long time. The bothersome thing is that that advice is a myth. It's not for everybody. It's for the privileged. What about loving what you do? That requires some character and attitude adjustment.

If someone really…Read more
