INFJ
Introverted: 88%
Intuitive: 50%
Feeling:14%
Judging:11%
Turbulent
Strengths:
Creative
Insightful
Inspiring and Convincing
Decisive
Determined and Passionate
Altruistic
Weaknesses:
Sensitive
Extremely private
Perfectionistic
Always need to have a cause
can burn out easily
In these tests I either test INTJ or INFJ, but I take slight issue with the empathetic piece and caring about others the INFJ is supposed to express. I wouldn't say these qualities are especially prevalent. I'd say, in fact, that I'm losing these qualities if anything. I'm starting to think about how I can exploit the people around me for money so I can live the life they're afraid to.
I'd say that the altruism factor is mostly false.

For some reason I feel drawn to her. Maybe it's in the same way I'm drawn to dying things.

Oh dear god....
You just know from the nyan cat music in the start that this video is going to be a cringefest.
You can tell at about thirty seconds in that this guy has no idea what he's talking about. And Jegus, even when he's addressing his fans he's awkward. I'm doubting his statement at the end of the video...

There's 26 bits of writing in my unfinished section of files. And currently I'm writing a story for a friend. Make it 27 in progress works.
Dats too many walls to move over here.
I wrote a lot in my childhood and bounced from ideas constantly, becoming infatuated with one and divorcing it at the appearance of the next a few days later. I don't even want to know how many I have laying around...
But the one I'm working on, in addition to the poem, is the only one that's stuck for about two or three years and I'm pretty sure I want to make this a series.
And even one wall is hard to move if its immense.

If I were you I'd include a source to the Burke you're referring to in the OP.
I don't know enough about conservatism to really provide the stimulation I think you're looking for, or what Burke thought about it himself.
So I'll ask a question, what were his tenets?
Sorry, the title is wrong, but basically he never really expressed much conservatism, but rather how important it is to own private things, and liberalistic visions among other things.
The title was made in the sense that he was supposed to represent Conservatism, which I now find amusingly stupid of me. Rather naive actually.
Alright, I think I can say something on the concept of ownership. I don't think ownership exists. I can steal anything someone owns and call it mine. The shift of owners, even though they might have reasons why they "own" something, is ultimately nothing more than a justified claim. The act of claiming ownership, I think, is important to understanding humans. Claims can be falsified because the outcome of the claim may or may not be fulfilled. Yet we'll create these abstractions to ensure our survival and identity. I think that's fascinating.

I prefer this picture, it gives a better frame of reference. Just look at the thing.
 what it is doing
how did it get there
Perhaps foraging. Bears in my town do the same thing.
And... I have no idea how it got to the trashcan... Photoshop?
I'm actually pretty sure it's not photoshopped.
The thing is a Coconut Crab, the largest arthropod living on land. It can't swim and lives on the islands in and around the Indian Ocean. They eat pretty much anything and have an amazing sense of smell along with the ability to climb trees and such. The one in the picture was probably attracted to whatever food leftovers there were in that trash can and tried to get in.
I wonder how they taste...

I need to start writing again... I got so frustrated with my own shit vocal performance during my last recording session that I just kinda rage quit. I haven't even uploaded that track even though it's basically finished.
Do it.
Nah
I think I'll retrack the vocals one day first.
Whenever it's finished? Could you make money from this?

Only non-fiction.
And for college >.>
I remember a thread you made on B.net about a story Idea you had, though the details escape me.
I don't write much fiction any more.
If I'm remembering correctly, the idea had merit.
Do you think you could sell a work if you produced it?
Yes.
I just lack the motivation.
I know this feeling. Personally, the planning intimidates me. Before even writing I like to have comprehensive ideas about what's happening and why.
And my writing still goes in directions I don't expect.

Yes.
Passion is suppressed in favor of functionality mandated by societies.
The path laid out for us is the one most people endeavor, making deviation or experimentation difficult.
Creativity suffers, I think.

You can post it here.
Clustered darkness eclipsed me
Smothering and pushing and close but far and lonseome
it engulfed me,
Naked at my strategist's seams,
My only reprieve the tumultuous pounding of an exhausted ventricle
and my torn breath leaving me
Lost
to the myriad dark.
And there I felt my growing heat of worry
the pins agitated in an addled head
Shuffling my shaking feet forward
at the protest of my skeptic's mind

How do highschools work? Poorly.
Any institute's priority should be the proliferation of education, yet educators don't seem to recognize that building a loving association with learning is the best way to keep individuals learning and sharing their knowledge with each other. Not with arbitrary curriculum and outdated teaching methods.
So how the hell do you get kids to love maths?
You make a good point, its just, I'm struggling to think what makes me like surds, or -1.
By teaching them to embrace struggle if it frustrates them as opposed to suggesting alternatives or decreasing math exposure. Teaching them that math is not really a static concept to be written on boards and tested on, that the abstractions we use to express it can't fully give light to its universal beauty, that to understand those things we have to see it functioning in action.
People like getting over humps and understanding content after struggling with it, the "aha!" moment where everything clicks. If education could put that alone to use more often, I think we'd see an improvement in people enjoying education instead of seeing it as an obstacle to overcome
Why would this notion garner a -1?

I expected it to be here when I clicked on this thread. Too disappoint.
Oi, I made a comment relating to it.

Dude, fuck off.
I'm not going to be able to change to whole school system where I live in such a short time that I get into the class without getting good grades; and this isn't a thread for you to complain, but rather a thread for my consolation.
I suppose I could answer your question.
Teachers grade on a four point system
0=F
1=D
2=C
3=B
4=A
5=A in an AP or Advanced class

Why can't we just feed poor people to the poor?
Or better yet, why don't we just eat children? I hear they're served well in a fricassee or stew.

Well in relative to the amount of shit that is produced yeah there are few.
Decent amount but there is a huge mass of shit that is produced as well.
To me this is apparent. The same can be said of other media forms.
I just skip over the stuff I don't care for watching.
