| Yes NTs can seem quite weird to me. Not just weird but plain wrong. But I have to remember that weirdness is in the eye of the weirded-out. Hard to hold that thought if they've got any power over me and they're using it in a way that seems wrong or weird to me. And I'd rather not make excuses for th... |

| Most artificial scents. Some types of meat. I think one of them is a certain cut of pork. That strange aroma around the fertiliser and pesticide section of supermarkets. It feels like it's sticking to my lungs. The smell in the air when farmers and park authorities fertilise the land. Few enjoy it, ... |

| One quirk I've noticed with it is that it never admits it doesn't know the answer to a question. It'll always have a go at answering, and when it's wrong and I tell it what's wrong, it usually just says "sorry for the confusion" and tries again, but comes out with much the same answer. It ... |

| I think the "real" reason why some companies put on "song and dance" about "diversity", is b/c the companies want to appeal to a larger customer base. I think that's very likely. There really is a Human Rights Buyers' Guide, Safeway claims to be in there, so I guess th... |

| You discussed a lot of information here. I will try and unwrap it for you. First. Our brains (daytime & night time) are very different. Our night time brain comes out during sleep and consists of two types REM and deep NREM sleep. These two sleep cycles are very different from each other. The d... |

| My guess is that he was being a tad malicious but backed off when he figured out he might get into trouble for it. Safeway's management crows about its reputation on diversity and inclusion, and wouldn't take kindly to an employee bringing them into disrepute in case they get downgraded by the Human... |

| A long time ago, after I'd moved out on my first wife, she told me that one of our two cats had gone missing. She also told me that she thought he'd been looking for me and that was why he'd got lost. Rather stupidly, I kind of believed that at the time. AFAIK he was never found. Not long after, I ... |

| I suppose I just analyse arguments to see if they're logical, check the premisses to see if they're correct, and look for emotive words and other propaganda tricks in the argument. Then I try to decide what I think about the matter, and whether I need to modify it at all on the basis of the new inpu... |

Good answer. Moving house can involve an eye-wateringly huge amount of hard work. I think I'm too old to sell my UK home. |
