It’s also important to understand that introversion is different from shyness. Shyness is the fear of negative judgment, while introversion is simply the preference for less stimulation. Shyness is inherently uncomfortable; introversion is not. The traits do overlap, though psychologists debate to what degree.
Interesting! I had a post I wanted to write titled, “Earning Your Introversion”. Sparked from talking with various people about their feelings about most people. (catch that?) I find that a lot of the introverts I know are people that haven’t given society a fair chance, while I’ve seen enough of people to make an educated decision about how to feel. The general idea being that if you haven’t been to quite a few parties to know you don’t like them, you also don’t have the fodder to explain why you don’t like them, and couldn’t provide an example of one thing that happened that made you uncomfortable. For example, though I wasn’t made uncomfortable, some people at a party openly said they were going to go have sex in their car for a bit and they did. That was the night I dropped my first alcohol beverage and I believe it was the same night I was close to successfully using my dragon-age-persuasion skills in getting a girl to be interested in me.
*ahem*
So anyway, I feel very strongly about introversion and it’s interesting to me that this article mentions the low amounts of stimulants in the environment. I really want to write an article that, unlike the article previously mentioned in this post, would be super-relevant and backed up with science for people like Demi to nod at. That article would pertain to… minimalism! I love minimalism. When you look at the BCN site and MurCity, you can see great usage of minimalism. It doesn’t just end at design, however - in my backend code, I try to use as few resources as possible and will always prefer to (for example) pull information from a static file rather than a database. (when appropriate) And it doesn’t end at just code!
My fashion. I’m becoming quite frustrated with my wardrobe right now because I cannot find comfortable, dark, and simple clothing options. I have two casual pairs of pants left, and they’re on their way out too. I’m going to be forced to dress in my dresspants that I use for work soon, indiscriminately! Oh and the shirts. :{ I just can’t find a damn shirt I like, that I already don’t have.
Say, it’s pretty late. Time to sleep. I should write more. I also want to completely redo my cyberspace article… which I feel was even more well done than the utopianism article. I don’t think I’m wonderful, by the way: out of all I’ve written in the articles on my site, those are the only I’m proud of. Utopianism’s article had a lot of outside help, too.

Very nice! Also check out hackbar. It’s pretty interesting because I don’t plan to use it for hacking others’ sites… just mine. :P

I became aware of the darknet today - only read about it. Dark Internet is different than darknet. I haven’t really seen much of the “dark internet”, for obvious reasons. As for the darknet, perhaps if I had little value for my own life and no one cared about me, I would venture forth into it. Do some googling on it.

Word on the street is it’s shockingly accurate.
Been wondering for a while. Can never catch him online.
I think. I did it at work. x_____X So I forgot. Anyway, I got to the second-last level. Magnito.

Oh, fine. Hmm. Oh yes - I can cast fireballs for nearly free now, in Skyrim. This makes it fun but also unfun because I face little challenge, even on master difficulty.

It’s not a loop. (well, it is in a way) Check it out.
Well, Elevator: Source was going just fine until Eve drank the bleach and beer. I told her not to, multiple times, but she drank it anyway. RIP.
As for the game itself, it was nice but not too replayable. I was surprised to find you couldn’t get off the elevator and explore each stop. Given that, it was still fun, and you can get off at the top which is a nice little minigame land. I figured out that you can blend things in a blender, and proceeded to make Marshall drunk and Eve dead.
I’ve always loved random generation. I wonder if I’ll make something very variety-heavy in the future.
I just ran into my neighbor who informed me that our building has a fully accessible roof deck. I’ve lived here for just over a year and had no...
