Agents of SHIELD: Alphonso ‘Mack’ Mackenzie [INTP]

OFFICIAL TYPING BY: mysterylover123

Introverted Thinking (Ti)/Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Mack is a patient, logical kind of guy who prefers to figure things out slowly, based on his own internal system of logic. He’s very curious and methodical, enjoys taking things apart and putting them back together, and struggles when things don’t go according to his designs. He’s thoughtful and quick to gauge other peoples’ state of mind; he’s generally tactful and waits for the proper moment to broach a subject. Mack is generally egalitarian and good at figuring out what people are thinking, shown through his friendship with Fitz as he’s quick to figure out what he’s struggling with and supply the words he needs. He’s generally friendly but avoids socializing much; he dislikes negative emotional environments and tries his best to mediate them.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne)/Introverted Sensing (Si): Mack’s quick to make comparisons between ideas and concepts, connecting things together and guessing as to their relevance. He likes new ideas and possibilities and is very flexible with changing circumstances. He admits he needs a blueprint to work from; he can’t just wing it or have something down by memory, he needs to check and make sure he’s doing the process correctly. He has a great deal of loyalty to those he worked with in the past and tends to fit things into his pre-existing knowledge of how the world works.

I*S*TP. He's a mechanic, not a philosopher. Trust me - I own a repair shop, my mechanic is ESTP. Mac fixes things with his hands (fists/axe) not his head.

Your INTP unit User Guide and Manual

CONGRATULATIONS! You have somehow gotten a hold of my phone number and ordered a new INTP unit! For new users, this manual will provide all of the basic information that you will need to take care of your new INTP unit.

Your INTP unit will come with the following accessories: Three (3) Everyday outfits Two (2) Nightclothes Two (2) pairs of shoes One (1) personalized laptop specifically built for your INTP One (1) laptop charger One (1) ethernet cable One (1) mobile device One (1) personalized headphones specifically built for your INTP One (1) USB to INTP connector Software: Your INTP is programmed with the following traits: Ti: Your INTP will want to analyze everything and understand everything. Ne: Your INTP likes to think up new possibilities and sees a lot of potential in their peers and surroundings. Si: Retrospective thinking is programmed to help your INTP solve new problems by using previous knowledge. Fe: Although the lowest of the traits, your INTP still has emotions and can be largely affected by the emotions of the people in their surroundings. Will generally get along with peers but can unwittingly make offensive comments. Will feel bad about it later.

Getting Started: To turn on your new INTP unit: 1. Connect your INTP to the computer using the USB to INTP connector. 2. Allow INTP to charge and gather data for approximately thirty (30) minutes. 3. Disconnected your INTP from the computer. 4. Turn on unit by asking nicely 5. If step NUMBER 4 didn’t work, threaten to take away the Wi-Fi.

Your INTP unit should boot up quickly after these steps!

Modes: Nerd (default) - your stereotypical nerd. Will only speak in scientific theories or binary code, depending on their mood. May be a bit socially awkward if the unit had only recently been started. Enthusiastic nerd - hyper-nerdiness, will talk quickly and have stars in their eyes Chameleon - will sometimes change how they act to their surroundings Pedantic (default) - will correct grammatical errors and mistakes. Usually won’t stop even if you tell them to. Meme / Pun (default) - don’t question it, just accept it Unhealthy / Shadow (locked) - will only unlock if subjected to immense stress. Like described in Le Chatlier’s principle, your unit will try to act in opposition of the stress. Tends to be angsty and like an unhealthy ENTJ unit.

Relationships with other units: NTs: Your INTP’s main squad. Is a bit intimidated by the XNTJ units, but gets along well nonetheless. SJs: Generally gets along well. They help your INTP unit do what’s needed and take care of themselves, for which your. NFs: Gets along with very well. May discuss philosophical ideas together. Relatively new INTP units may get frustrated or confused by the emotional perspective given by the NFs units. SPs: Gets along overall. Can sometimes be afraid of XSTP units’ kickass personality and sometimes may not quite understand the Se nature well.

Feeding: Your INTP unit will usually eat normally but will sometimes ignore their diet to pursue intellectual hobbies. Keep trying to argue that food is necessary despite their arguments that they feed on knowledge.

Hygiene: Despite stereotypes, your INTP unit will maintain their personal hygiene, although you may need to remind them if they have been in the Enthusiastic Nerd state for a while and forgot to bathe themselves.

Sleeping: Your INTP unit has a bad habit of staying up too late to browse the internet. Constantly remind them that sleep will help their memory consolidate and retain information. They might still try to stay up, at which point just take away the Wi-Fi.

Frequently Asked Questions: Why does my INTP unit keep procrastinating on everything? All INTP units have caught a bug when downloading their software that destroys their ability to take a task to completion without external pressure. Unfortunately, the units cannot be fixed, but Te-dom or Te-aux units may help organize your INTP unit’s life.

Does my INTP unit feel emotions? If so, when will they be more expressive? Yes. Although Fe is low on their function stack, it’s still there. They are usually only expressive if they are surrounded by those close to them. So better your relationship with your INTP unit, and then you will see them be more emotional.

Help! My INTP unit is fixed in Unhealthy / Shadow mode, and I don’t know what to do! Because the ENTJ units’ main functions are the INTP unit’s shadow function, I suggest getting an ENTJ unit to talk to the INTP to help them get out of their melancholy mood. If there are no available ENTJ units, then logically reason how their point of view is false and not helpful to their current situation. Also, try to remove the source of stress, as the Unhealthy / Shadow mode is caused by the presence of stress.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS on acquiring your new INTP unit! Have fun!

These dudes are fucking legit. They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.”

More about BACA, from their site

giizhigaate-deactivated20160220

The fact that a native man started this brings tears to my eyes…

uriesays

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

6 years later and avatar (the james cameron movie) is still completely incomprehensible to me. like you’ve got the highest grossing film in recent history and no one actually enjoyed it beyond “eh. it was okay”

doyouhearthunder

Avatar is such a weird anomaly. It’s the highest grossing film EVER (not adjusting for inflation) by a huge margin and yet it left virtually no footprint on popular culture. It had its 15 minutes of fame to the tune of $2.7 billion dollars worldwide, and within a few years it’s like no one remembers it even existed. You only ever really see it mentioned these days in the context of its record-breaking box office.

If I had to guess, I'd say the numbers are artificially high, because the 'new 3D' - everyone went to see the technology (not the movie), and so paid twice as much as they normally would.

I love how INTPs can talk about the craziest shit like it’s no problem but if you start talking about emotions they just become silent potatoes

Man Shoots at Intruders, Turns Out it was a No-Knock Raid. Now He Faces the Death Penalty

On Friday, May 9, 2014, just after 5:30am in Killeen, Texas, Marvin Louis Guy was the target of a no knock raid.

The officers were looking for drugs, yet none were found in the home. There was some questionable paraphernalia, but nothing indicative of drug dealing- or anything damning enough for a reasonable person to feel the need to take an officers life.

Likely alarmed by the men climbing through his windows at 5:30 in the morning, Guy and his wife sought to protect themselves and their property and fired on the intruders - in self defense.

Dinwiddie, along with three other officers were shot while attempting to breach the windows to the home, according to the department’s press release.

Since the shooting occurred during the break in, a reasonable person would assume they had not yet identified themselves as police officers. How on earth is this not self defense?

Prosecutors are now seeking the death penalty against Guy. He is charged with capital murder in Dinwiddie’s death, as well as three counts of attempted capital murder for firing on the other officers during the shootout, injuring one other officer. Body armor protected others who were hit.

This is wrong on so many levels… Everything he wanted to do is to save himself, his pregnant woman and their property. That’s what the 2nd amendment was created for. But he’s a black man, and if he had been white NRA supporters would be in the streets protesting his 2nd amendment rights and his right to defend his home.

Hell if he had been white they never would have considered pressing charges.

Justice for Martin Louis Guy!

Bust it.

Here’s the petition “Please drop the Capital Murder and Attempted Murder charges against Marvin Louis Guy for the shooting death of Officer during a No-Knock Raid at his Home”.

beautifulblackworld

What the fuck is a no-knock raid??? They shouldn’t be allowed to do that!

nahfamicant-deactivated20200217

A No-Knock Raid was practice that was implemented during the War On Drugs. There are “legal” parameters for it. General speaking it is ineffective and has a strong likelihood of civilians getting shot. Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow explains it better than I can

The main problem I have with that NYT Amazon article is that it’s basically describing every retail/restaurant management job ever. The hours, the impossible performance metrics, the abuse, the punishment for illness or injury, the encouragement to sell out your fellow workers, all there. And there’s only outrage because white collar workers with “safe” office jobs are being held to the same standard as those of us who work in low-paying, customer-facing industries.

Where’s the scandal about restaurant management working 80-hour weeks and being on call when they aren’t there? Where’s everyone all up in arms when a retail worker loses their job because an illness leaves them unable to stand and perform for ten hours at a time? Short answer: unless it affects the comfortably middle-class caste of white collar workers, no one gives a shit. Because customer-facing workers are still seen as less than, and the only shocking thing is that there are companies out there holding their “higher class” employees to “lower class” standards.
