Yes, it's not "scientific", but generally categorizes people with similar behaviour quite well. If you know your classification then there's a fair chance that there are more peopl…

Such behaviour can be hardcoded for certain types of personalities and is not bad per se. You're just trying to achieve something that isn't compatible with your personality. I'd p…

Your boss is probably just trying to buy some time to find a replacement. I've seen this happen numerous times. You'd probably end being at same position for some more time (meanwh…

I'm using Mint with Cinnamon on my main laptop. It works reasonably out of the box including rather great multimedia support. I've used Debian for more than fifteen years and I wou…

This can be somewhat misleading. eg.,: http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/jul/22/gun-hom... Brazil, Italy etc. - significantly lower percentage of firearms between citiz…

Open office is a deal breaker for me, because it simply underlines the ignorant approach of the company towards their employees - especially coders. I have yet to see someone that …

I'd say that if it's regular contract, you pay the tax in the country where the company resides (+ social / health tax). Freelancing is different and the pay is taxed in the countr…

I've had E30 and E34. While the technical level and overall comfort was very nice, they were terrible rust buckets. Their current models can be fun though. Eg., try to change headl…

I've been on several SSRI/SRNIs. These shitty drugs made everything only worse to me (Paroxetine, Venlafaxine, Escital, etc.) From top of my head: - Constant diarrhea - Heightened …

I feel threatened when I see police guys nearby. I was fined in my early twenties, because I just turned around my car where it was possible - it didn't happened on the street and …

I know that they maintain a nice museum over there. Thoreau's books were translated into most European languages and frankly, his writing influenced me a lot during my early twenti…

I'm fan of Thoreau and I live in Europe. I don't understand how exactly he shaped America? During the "Walden" period he lived simple, frugal life and invested his time into things…

Yes, the main deal is that the fight/flight system gets triggered too often, even in inappropriate situations. The result is devastating.

Well, it's more complicated than that. Your hand will start to tremble uncontrollably when someone looks at you. Your face will blush, your legs will start to shake. You might even…

Honest answer: Yes a serious problem. Two years ago I've had panic attack in the elevator and I was just technically unable to go into office where I worked (I've had a good job an…

Being a person diagnosed with social phobia I thought that myself many years ago. All the SSRIs and SRNIs actually made whole thing worse.

There are better things to do than arguing or trying change opinion of people that are confident in their ignorance. It's like arguing on the internet. If that's not your thing, I …

At age of twenty eight, I have been diagnosed with social phobia. Until then, I've been doing quite well. I have worked as Unix sysadmin for several years during my twenties and ev…
