English needs a word for the inclusive or, and I'm down for committing robbery against one of our top victims.

You know when something can be either "or" or "and?" You may also say it is "and" and or "or"; "or" and/or "and," if you will. That's the inclusive or!

The Latin "vel" is a word for the inclusive or. I also just learned that the logic symbol, ∨, is called "vel" and is used for something called "disjunction" as opposed to "exclusive disjunction (⊻)," which is simply the exclusive or, which is the regular or in English.

Apparently the legal term "vel non" uses this word to mean "or not," which means there's at least a chance of it making it out of the courtroom and into the common lingo like quid pro quo, de jure, and de facto, did.

Don't you find it idiotic to divide sensors into SP/SJ?
  • I also saw it as a bit odd at first, but it makes the most sense after thinking about it.

    NT vs NF is a good division because intuition and thinking (NT) vs intuition and feeling (NF) are quite distant personality-wise. The former were coined "the rational(ist)s" as all 4 enjoy abstract, nerdy topics like MBTI itself. The latter... cry a lot?

    NP vs NJ would've put INTP, INFP, ENFP, ENTP in one group which would be obvious nonsense. INTJ, INFJ, ENFJ, ENTJ in another. Uhhh, nope.

    The main thing about the SP vs SJ division is that SPs use Se and SJs use Si. This makes most of the SPs (ISTP, ESTP, ESFP) seem very "JUST DO SHIT" and most of the SJs (ISTJ, ESTJ, ISFJ) seem very chill and or serious/organized.

    Grouping sensors by ST vs SF would put ISTJ, ESTJ, ISTP, ESTP in one group, not quite seeing the commonality. ISFJ, ESFJ, ISFP, ESFP would go in another. Same hodgepodge dilemma.

    16p's grouping of 4 types in 4 groups seems like a shitty version of socionics' quadras, which group types on common valued/frontstack cognitive functions. But in my opinion that's 16p's problem in general, disregard of the functions just to describe personality. That just seems like no fun at all to me!

  • TIL The Cube Rule for categorizing food based on the location of structural starch.
  • Ah, steak, my favorite salad! Oooh, and salad, the perfect nachos!! My steak is a salad, but if I cut it into bite-sized pieces, it becomes nachos!!!

    1. A salad is specifically a mix of more than one thing. Not a homogeneous mixture.
    2. The hell's up with the nachos? A food with many repeating identical objects? Nachos are a salad.
    3. A sandwich is supposed to be 3 layers; [bread-->content-->bread] from top to bottom. They cite a stack of 3 slices of toast as a sandwich, but a cake is defined as a food with >2 grain layers, a criterion in which 3 slices of toast fits.

    Seriously, a good theory idea, but with unforgivable flaws.

  • POLL: Should we allow content migration bots?
  • On grounds of NSFW communities, we have to get the bots. People don't come to this page to look at 14 posts on each board. They come to them for the same reason they come to the reddit versions of these subs.

    Aren't we trying to compete here? Aren't we trying to show the refugees a good time? We ought bot.
