Do you have a paid plan? If not, I can try and ask o3 to give this a go, if you tell me a name and have the ground truth handy. I'm reasonably confident it can do this.

Usually it feels like 90/10 among people who comment with the 10 being NTs of another flavor.

I think IFF would be a nightmare in the face of ongoing jamming and other e-war. The autonomy of the drones in this war is quite constrained, and we're only seeing semi-independent hunter-killers.
Intercepting drones with other drones isn't easy either.

Yeah I'm the same with Jiujitsu. I've been doing it long enough that I'm generally able to compete with the vast majority of people, but I've just never particularly enjoyed watching instructionals. Especially filthy leglockers. Would I be better on the aggregate if I mainlined John Danaher, probably, but I just don't care for it and as I'm not realistically on any professional trajectory does it matter?
One of the very first laws in the history of US Congress was limiting citizenship to "free White persons of good character", and as late as 1923 there was Supreme Court decision which declared a high-caste Indian who identified as Aryan could not attain citizenship because he was not white.
Thind did not challenge the constitutionality of the racial restrictions. Instead, he attempted to be classified as a "free white person" within the meaning of the Naturalization Act based on the fact that Indians and Europeans share common descent from Proto-Indo-Europeans....
The Court unanimously rejected Thind's argument, adding that Thind did not meet a "common sense" definition of white, ruling that Thind could not become a naturalized citizen. The Court concluded that "the term 'Aryan' has to do with linguistic, and not at all with physical characteristics, and it would seem reasonably clear that mere resemblance in language, indicating a common linguistic root buried in remotely ancient soil, is altogether inadequate to prove common racial origin."
You have fallen for the intentional lie that White is a non-existent or retrospective categorization. It was the most important racial categorization constructed into the very foundation of the country, and consistently so throughout its history for hundreds of years. "This is what they took from us" indeed. It was coldly-calculated, planned, intentional to do so.

I mean, you don't have to hover right above them. Both sides know where each other is, at least to around the precision of a grid-square. There's literal trench warfare going on, it's not like they're not going to be manning those.
You could have drones screening the perimeter or roaming the front-lines.

Eh, there's enough socialist literature on how the workers will self-manage by selecting representatives that will handle those tasks. They don't call them leaders
You're right that referring to them as superiors does out me, point taken. Important to follow the shibboleth eh?

I made some very bad houses in the Sims 1, 2 and 3, and some mud huts in Minecraft. What are my odds?

I've heard the name, don't know anything about it I'm afraid. If it's anywhere in the same ballpark as MIA or MM, then I'm certainly interested!

Jojo really finds it's footing in the 3rd arc. Don't get me wrong the first part was good but it's not very bizarre until later.

Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?

Oh, you don't feel like saying "Strongly Disagree" to:
Complex and novel ideas excite you more than simple and straightforward ones.
You are not too interested in discussions about various interpretations of creative works.
You prioritize facts over people’s feelings when determining a course of action.
You actively seek out new experiences and knowledge areas to explore.
Or "Strongly Agree" to:
You usually feel more persuaded by what resonates emotionally with you than by factual arguments.
People’s stories and emotions speak louder to you than numbers or data.
You favor efficiency in decisions, even if it means disregarding some emotional aspects.
You are not easily swayed by emotional arguments.
Congratulations, your personality type has been determined to be mottezan!

My vague recollection of the online MTBI test I took was that every question boiled down to "are you stupid, Y/N?" and if you answer no you get INTP or INTJ, and if you answer yes you get something else.
I was INTP of course.

I hate 9-5s. With a burning passion.
Back in India, most of my jobs involved me working for 24 hours at a stretch, two shifts a week. There are places where 24 hours can be utterly grueling, such as ICU or ER jobs, but when I wasn't there, I usually managed to wrap up the bulk of my work by the evening and could look forward to a decent amount of sleep at night on average, if the nurses weren't overly neurotic. Wake up early, make sure nobody is likely to die before the next shift, write a handover, then scurry away back home.
This isn't a regular option right now, best case is a few 24 hour or 12 hour shifts a month, with 9-5s for the rest. This sucks, I come home drained, and barely have the ability to recuperate before the next day, let alone manage normal life admin or indulge in my hobbies. I miss the previous flexibility I had, why can't I just go and get a haircut at 3 pm on a Tuesday? Get hammered with friends on a Thursday night?
Not to mention the additional wasted time when it comes to traveling to and from work. That adds up when you're doing it 5 days a week.

Basically everything that actually gives us longevity now was invented by 1950. Clean water, electricity, antibiotics, and vaccines. There have been some significant developments in childbirth, but obviously that part alone is not the cost driver. It is end of life care, subsidies to hypochondriacs and the poor, and maintenance treatments like lifelong blood pressure meds and dialysis.

Controlling the minds of normies is extremely valuable. Elon Musk didn’t buy Twitter for the money. He bought it to use it as a mouthpiece and more importantly to keep it from being used against him

INTJ, every time. The amusing thing is, while I peg the I and T scales quite hard and am always comfortably N, I'm always around 51% J to 49%P. You'd think at least once I'd take the test on a day when P was up but, nope, never happens.

Still, one only need to go to a criminal courtroom to observe that tattoos on females are indicative of criminality. A while back I was in court and a woman had been arrested on a fairly old warrant. It wasn't violence per se, but she made a stupid video of herself shooting a gun into the air. The kicker is it had one of those cheap auto-switch adjustments so it is technically an automatic per statute. She was, of course, 4 months pregnant and engaged. But she also had tattoos, the same ones from the video. So what do you do with a 22 year old who is clearly more mature than the 19 year old who was a reckless idiot, and also eligible for a very long prison sentence.

Best mecha anime was Macross Frontier, honestly. Others mentioned Code Geass below as well, which works. Both have good mech animation, good characters, good pacing. Most of the gundam examples have moments of brilliance bogged down by oceans of slog. The ones cited by others have great scenes or episodes and then multiple filler or slogs that just make it unwatchable.
But the true best robot anime ever is Megas XLR. A giant death robot with a hotrod for a head and a hotter redhead as the boss of the mechs 2 idiot pilots? Pure joy.

Excellent! I’ll check it out.
Here’s my one and only experience with death note fanfiction THE HIT AND RUN. Don’t bother with the “post that inspired this” tumblr link; the premise should stand on its own.

But at the same time I think they have some frustration about all the lay-peeps writing long posts full of complex semantic arguments that wouldn't pass technical muster (directionally).
The issue is that OP is the lay person writing a long post full of complex semantic arguments that don’t pass technical muster, while passing themself as an credentialed expert, and accusing others of doing what they’re doing. That tends to rile people up.

What? The majority of people here are either INTJ or INTP…
(Ok among the self reports here it’s only slightly tilted to INTx rather than super strongly tilted but I still think INTx is a solid majority)
“BOOMERS could be here, he thought. I’ve never been to this message board before, there could be BOOMERS anywhere...”
