Should Bill Nye be institutionalized and put in a rubber room or merely tethered to the radiator?

Ok, it appears my left ear lobe may be infected at it looks really gross. And I don't want to try to put earrings back in with it like that, so it looks like I'll have to try to keep my ear hidden behind my hair tomorrow. Blech.

Let's test it using the scientific method! :laugh:

:laugh: This is awesome. Yes, sometimes it is an intuition problem -- but sometimes it's a sensing problem. And sometimes it's a lazy af problem.

What, to you, would be the differences between the three?

Intuition problem: the ESTJs in question not seeing the big picture of what their N subordinates are doing, and therefore not appreciating it enough.
Sensing problem: Employees of ESTJs not comprehending the S (esp. Si) elements of the job -- sometimes to the point of denying they exist, or denying their importance.
Lazy af problem: Just not doing anything. Being a slacker.

Yeah, being an ESTJ too, I tend to hone in on the details and get pissed off when others don't pay attention to them. There are just some things that you MUST pay attention to, like accounting books, facts in arguments, when driving, etc. etc. that involve details.

You're right that there is always a big picture to things. But it ticks me off when people think in terms of ideals or blow the big picture out of proportion and neglect relevant facts and data. Personally, when someone tells me not to burden them with facts or details, I think they're avoiding an evidence-based approach.

The reason I asked is because no matter what, details have to be involved somewhere (just like the big picture has to be involved somewhere). No one gets to make a "case" for something in complete general statements, no one gets to do a job without it being appraised, no one gets to gloss over facts, etc. it goes on forever. The way I see it, whether you've neglected sensing or intuition, it's laziness.

What I don't understand is how it's less lazy to leap to a conclusion via intuition than to become solid on the details. Anyone can make a broad statement about a topic, but it takes time to research the details. I read intuitors say that they come up with a conclusion and then research the details, but that approach seems like it is much more vulnerable to a cherry-pick approach. Why not let the details lead to a conclusion rather than the other way around? "Gut feelings" seem eminently irresponsible.

Small dog. Luckily it was just a tiny piece and I didn't roll over onto it.

The rest was at the bottom of the stairs.

>_<

They tend to dry up quicker when they're little. :p still disturbing though.

this doesn't fix your problem, but I thought you should know that one of my dogs has a "reputation" for that sort of thing too. No one lets her sleep with them because she's the Nighttime Shitter.

If your FB friends are like my FB friends, then you have three options:

1) They actually CAN afford it because they saved up for a long time and make sure to spend wisely

2) They can't afford it and spend recklessly with credit cards

3) Their parents or other family subsidize their living situation to the point of them being able to afford travel

The most likely college kid option is 3.

I feel like so many people have changed their usernames within the past few weeks that I have no idea who anyone is anymore.

You can still be "big picture" and a sensor. It's about how you arrive there, rather than whether you see it or not.
