Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
Is there a theory of this process or at least some terminology? Like I understand what you mean by "abstract-concrete" rule, but where did you get that term from? What are the other types of rules? Is there a theory behind identifying this kind of thinking? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...

Re: Western Red Cedar's Journal
With that said, it is still wild for me to see 2 years of personal expenses drop off in a month. A bad day on the market might be 2-3% down, so depending on how many years of stash you have, it could go a lot faster. To take a year off of 25x requires 4% and that's almost half a correction (or a me...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
I also think it is easy to overcomplicate some of this by geeking out on the theory too much. Going back to the example above on health/movement/time-saving devices, one could have a pretty solid start to a robust system with some basic rules like make all/most of your food from scratch, walk or cy...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
If money is abundant, why wouldn't I try to own certain things that free up my time**, or even potentially subscribe to them***? The answer is that those things end up owning you, which circles back to my question: how do we balance these trade-offs? [...] Curious how you guys think about the non-m...

Re: Nausea from Virtual Reality
I "won" @Slevin's HTC Vive on the "swap thread" and so I got a chance to try VR for the first time. Wow! This is something else! Setup: The HTC Vive is from 2016(?) which perfectly matches my computer build which is from the same era. I run a GeForce GTX 1060/6GB graphics setup, ...

It's like I don't even try to understand or hide how I basically don't care for most social interactions beyond knowing enough not to make a scene :-P One comment on the test is that is that the scores between autistics and neurotypicals are very close together.

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
And I guess my questions with the needs of modernity are: how do we decide what to "own" vs "subscribe to" vs "quit entirely"? How do you think about those choices? This decision can be complicated(vb) as much as you want, but here's a way to get started (also see ERE ...

Re: On-the-go Meal Prep Kit for maximizing grocery stores as an alternative to fastfood/restaurants?
in decroissant order of importance knife I find it interesting that "knife" always comes out on top. In a modern world of airplanes and paper, I find a pair of scissors more universally useful. This to the point where I use scissors for typical knife-problems like cutting lettuce, broccol...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
A minor "ah-ha" moment I had recently was realizing that Fe-Style Compassion could be spreadsheeted under the realm of Personal Finance in the form of a Non-Profit and this would make it easier to "sell" ERE to those with Fe further up their stack. Very similar to how somebody w...

Re: Embracing Solitude: INTJ's Journey Towards Retirement
From what I hear, educated Americans go to a therapist all the time, they talk about it as a privilege of social status, and think of it positively. Europeans think mental therapy is for deplorables who have given up on themselves and rely on a state therapist to put them back together. Kind of the...

Re: FI with regular income?
You think the plumber goes home and belabors his wife with vivid stories of the particularly intransigent pieces of excrement he had to deal with today? Somehow I doubt it. Admittedly only a sample size of one, but one of the in-laws is actually a plumber and every time we meet, it's all he ever ta...

@Kipling - And not just teachers and the school system. After all teachers are also constrained by what they actually can do in terms of individual attention. The precocious student will often have to do with pestering the teacher about advanced/interesting stuff for a few minutes after class and af...

Re: On-the-go Meal Prep Kit for maximizing grocery stores as an alternative to fastfood/restaurants?
I'm not overthinking this. Eating only once a day makes solving this much easier than having to eat three or six times a day. When we travel $MCD has a deal where buying a burger will get you a free extra burger of the same kind or less the next time you buy one + a receipt to keep repeating the dea...

Re: Sexuality WL Table
I'm wondering whether a 1-dimensional table is the best format here. Beyond stage 3, it involves two people each at their own stage. Later stages potentially even more :-P . Getting into the nitty-gritty of matrices and tensors would void the useful parsimony of a table, but how you explain stage N ...

It could be one of those strange opportunities that would have never appeared had we not pressed reset. Brilliant! I think it's also a connection that wouldn't have happened if Mrs Ego hadn't (spontaneously?) mentioned the possibility. Ultimately, it's about control, access, and optionality. Lunch ...
