I know they were presidents (only 3 of them were actually - Robert Taft was a governor, son of a president). I don't really know anything about them other than that. Except I think Cleveland was the only president to have separate terms. Oh, and I think William HH won a close election by runoff in the House, or something like that. But that's it, and those things aren't notable in themselves.

Whereas the wikipedia page presents presidents most people have heard a great deal of, and know quite a bit about - FDR, JFK, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington


Wow, you're like the polar opposite. Altho you don't seem that introverted.

Mephostophilis Jul 11, 2012 2:37 AM #12

Oh yeah by Mr. Taft I meant like, what was his name, William Howard Taft or something? I don't remember all the presidents, but when you got Robert Taft I figured maybe it was some other political figure related in some way, guess I was right.

Hell, even *I* know who George Washington is.
He's...that dude who chopped down the cherry tree! Turned into the hulk and used the chopped tree as an asswhip in WWF, won the match and became president. Summin' like dat

If I remember right from my ol' teach, historians went back in time to old-ass presidents like those less-popular ones you got compared to, guesstimated their answers for them (hey who could be more famous than a president right?? idk man couldn't find something better to do I guess) to get those results. IDK where they're primarily stored online though.

Well, over the Internet I'm not introverted yeah. Something like my Gemini ego sign suggests that I'm the most wildly chatty spotlight guy, yet my INFJ score suggests that I'm socially introverted. I could nitpick over details from both, but I find generally that I dislike unintelligent discussions. I guess I get really annoyed talking to people who don't have any sympathetic intellect, are predictable or unimaginative, or just can't get me to put my mind to anything new.

...Reminds me of this one really annoying but hot mentally disabled chick XD

That's why I enjoy having programming or engineering discussions with my dad more than of anything else; I know at least over the Internet I tend to be sociable otherwise, but I guess I can get irritable or impatient easily when I'm not putting my mind to something like math, science, philosophy, or sex XD at least.

actually I'm starting to see what you mean about the polar opposites thing

I = 0;
N = 0;
F = 0;
P = 0;

E = 1;
S = 1;
T = 1;
J = 1;

your result was ESTP/J; mine was INFJ (I think I came close to -P, too)

1111 = logical NOT(0000) //~0

what is that, like,
MOV eax, 0b0000
NOT eax
in x86 or something :D

So yaay for binary opposites XD I didn't notice that until you mentioned

Well, if you engage women in conversation for the quality of intellectual discussion you're not doing it right. Females have other positive attributes besides intellect, thankfully.


Not exactly polar opposites - we did have moderate J in common.

I never specified what for; in fact it was more often her that kept talking to me every day, saying the same questions that I'd have the same answer for. Ultimately the questions were just for steering to the topic of talking about oneself under the illusion that the person had probed the adversary for that information first.

Binary opposites, not polar opposites, 'tis all.

mb Jul 12, 2012 12:38 PM #16

Well, it's not always an illusion. When I ask a girl for her name, I am actually probing. Give and take, act/react, both.

Mephostophilis Jul 12, 2012 7:18 PM #17

It's not really an illusion, because:
"So what are your plans for this weekend?"
"So what are your plans for this weekend?"
"So do you have any plans for the Big, three-day weekend?!"

*whatever answer I have here*
*instantly replies without delay about what she's going to do for the weekend*

Man, I don't give a fuck. I said she was hot AND annoying; it doesn't mean I was trying to engage her in conversations.

I was always into math, linguistics, science; she was always into the arts, drama, history etc.. Unlike vice versa, it wasn't my objective to converse with her or get her to proselytize over to my interests. I tried to pay attention to her ramblings over play x and book y and person z and how I should look them all up on concert night omega, but all I could really do was try to sound respectful while not lying and claiming that I was interested XD.

Granted it would have been nice if we shared a few interests, and it was fun talking either way actually, but I learned quicker than she did of me that she was never going to be movable towards my areas of pursuit XD, which I was fine with. It's just how two mentally disabled (or, as diagnosed, anyway...I probably only got diagnosed because of mommy's drugs) people get along with each other. The difference is that I respected our differences.

mb Jul 12, 2012 7:24 PM #18

what are you supposedly disabled with? you seem fairly normal to me.

one of those adhd kids? fuck, i'm just glad i wasn't born 10-15 years later, when the overdiagnosis craze went into full effect - i'm sure i would have landed on some drug or another.

in my daughter's kindergarten class there were like 3 boys on the drugs already - i'm like, no, they're just 5 year old boys or whatever...this society is fucked up, parents probably aren't paying enough attention, kids ingesting too many sweets and other destabilising chemicals, so the adults take the easy way out

I'm pretty sure every fairly-intelligent person got diagnosed with ADHD. The drugs are just a one-size-fits-all solution to disobidience.

Mephostophilis Jul 12, 2012 7:44 PM #20

One of two things was ADHD yea, though I guess this was all when I was 3-6 idk so um '94 I guess. My mom was just insistent that something was very unusual about me, but at least for a while various doctors kept assuring different answers to her, without any type of agreement. So it was probably all bs, except maybe for ADHD. Sometimes I do see myself as ADHD because I get bored easily and can't help but blank out while my dad's rambling on or w/e, but my mom is like ADHD as fuck XD as you probably know from that news article you read.

the other thing was a popular subset under autism you prolly heard of b4

Either way, the presumption of me having a disability is a useful item to either of my parents to use against me during any time we disagree about something. :D I've known a lot of [friends] that enjoyed using that information in similar ways, as well, and for a while even up until now a part of me has always accepted it could be true. After all every person on the planet has some type of disability.

plus I post like I'm ADHD sometimes XD

Mom put me on all sorts of shit, even drugs that weren't prescribed for me to take XD (you know, steroids, meth, ice, crack, lol no it was more like sleeping stuff, mood-calmers or painkillers or w/e). here, you have to take one-fifth of this, oh! and it goes Really great with two-thirds of this, and five-fourths of that, lmao!! man it was just so funny listening to her spilling out the tabs

T-T but I wuv mah ice cream... *mommy slaps hand while reaching* *gives me one-half of a chill pill*

actually she did that while we were at the airport for me to fly over to live with my dad actually, I was morbidly, emotionally and possibly stomach sick from lack of sleep, and she insisted some gum and half a chill pill would make me feel better XD
