They're supposed to be true but people are discouraged to try to "verify" them or anything so it's just a collection of amusing stories that you're supposed to take at face value for amusement (or sadness).

Puh-lease. I didn't blame them, I just used them as a cursed word that time. But no. You're right. Jews are great. They're the most lovely awesome people there is in the world, and they're simply the best. I love them so much. Especially Ricky Moranis. Oh, and Harrison Ford. And Natalie Portman! And Leonard Nimoy. How freaking great is Spock, huh? Although I always loved TNG a lot more, but Spock really made old Star Wars cool too. But yeah, if you actually call me on my BS and ask me to name Jews by name that I don't like, I can't really come up with a single name. Ask me to name ones I love, there's lots of names.

This is real. I suffered for years with constant vagina issues and it turns out it was scented stuff. Cut it out and like magic, no more infections. Then it started dating another guy and the problems immediately came back - he was washing himself with scented stuff.

A lot of women with bad fish pussies are probably sensitive to scented products and using them anyway without realizing how bad it is because they aren't in any pain or are immune to their own funk.

Uhm, what constitutes a Holocaust? I'll have you know that prior to the Holocaust, the Jewish establishment organized and executed a mass genocide of Ukrainians that ranged in the millions, referred to as the Holodomor. After World War 2, the Allies murdered millions of Germans. If that's not a Holocaust, I don't know what is.

This guy has got to be into the neo-reactionary dark enlightenment stuff that says Marxism is a creation of the Jews from the Frankfurt School to destroy western society.

It's funny you mention that. I already ran a test like that. I was certain it was one writer, but I wanted to quantify it. I got a .88, which is "well above" what you would expect from two different writers. As you said, though, it's obvious fiction, anyway.

Got married yesterday, beautiful ceremony, wonderful reception everyone had a good time. Two weeks before my wedding, the priest emailed my wife [31f]explaining that he is not feeling well (recovering from c-diff and a hernia operation) would like to enlist the help of another priest to help with the ceremony because he cannot stand on his feet for very long. We of course had no problem with this. During the ceremony, the other priest was not present, which was strange to my wife and I, however, the process went off without a hitch.

During the cocktail hour the priest approached my wife and apologized for "disrespecting her" and explaining "that if he knew that enlisting the help of another priest was distasteful he would have never asked". My wife was obviously confused by this and became rather upset. Turns out, my brother in law, an MD who is heavily involved in the church where we were married told the priest that two priests were distasteful and that my wife did not want them. This of course was a lie.

The rest of the night went great but in the morning I approached him about his behavior. I told him calmly that I did not appreciate him circumventing us, and explained that he owes my wife an apology. He did not speak with her at all. Later in the same day, I texted him "you owe your sister an apology".

An hour after the text was sent, my wife's mother [69f] called her screaming, that I shouldn't get involved and that she has no problem with her sons behavior. She also explained that she did not want the second priest because she did not want to pay him another $250. (We did not, the original priest said the second one would not charge us) My wife called her brother, furious, and demanded an apology, he did, but then proceeded to say that we "did not take the church service seriously because we were laughing and smiling during parts of it"

That's pretty much where the story ends, and I cannot help but think that my brother in law is an amazing hypocrite. Not only did he manipulate a sick mans behavior for virtually no reason, he also lied by omission to my wife and I and disrespected the same church that he chastised me for "not taking seriously". This man is a Medical Doctor, who is supposed to save people's lives, why didn't he have more empathy for the sick priest? I cannot think that he's a terrible person, I don't want to interact with people like that, but I'm stuck with this person for the rest of my life. Where should I go from here?

TL/DR my brother in law lied and told a sick priest that he had to do the work of two people.

Edit: additional information, BIL had 3 priests at his own wedding, including his FIL who is a church official in a congregation 4 hours away. Possible motivation here, he could have been trying to have his FIL help out with the service for some reason.

When the frogs by me told me they were driving around high and decided to chase me down windy streets in the middle of no where, he was one of the loudest to say I was being a cry baby essentially. No rear end hole, being concerned one of them told me they smoke up while driving, then
having them follow me around side roads aggressively is a valid concern. You failed then and it looks like you're failing now.

A simple hey we hear you, we're trying is all it takes. You didn't do that 2-3 years ago and you're not doing it now.

Do any of my fellow INTJs copy the seemingly pointless social norms around them to get by at work? I do and I'm wondering if it's a common tactic among us.

After leaving my bubble of introverted intellectualism at university 7 years ago and joining the world of work, I found myself encountering social norms I had never previously come into contact with and therefore had no prior experience dealing with. For example, small talk in the kitchen, small talk before getting down to business in a meeting (so much small talk!) and schmoozing with the boss. For the first year or so I ignored this behaviour, but soon realised that in order to "get on" I had to partake too. So I watched everyone and copied. I faked it. And I still do. The only thing I have trouble with is sucking up to authority - I have no idea how to do this (any tips?!)

I took the MBPT on Friday and after finding out I was INTJ I read about it extensively. Finding out that not having an instictive understanding of these social niceties is normal for us was a real moment of realisation. Especially because I'm female so people expect me to be chatty and outwardly empathetic. I also often get told to not look so worried when going into meetings with superiors. I'm not worried. This is my face.

So as I've already said, I was wondering if anyone else had any examples of faking it until they made it? I also remember at university one of my friends always berating me for answering the phone with "hi...what do you want?" instead of exchanging social pleasantries first. I just wanted to get to the point! But now I realise that was seen as rude so I now always ask how people are when they call. Not that I really want to though.

Maybe there's a wider issue here about social norms benefitting certain personality types (the most common?) and why (because they're the most common?). But that's a question for another day.
