Looks almost like heaven.
The back door is through a tunnel that comes out under a bush somewhere on the other side of the hill.
We tend to hide our structures from view now. Some things are no one’s business.
My ankles hurt when looking at that photo.
Why do you think I wear army boots?
As an INTJ I approve of this post
INTJ’s think they fucking know it all. Assholes.
What’s an INEC?
I have no idea, sounds made up.
It’s true.
Some peeps can’t take a joke when it goes over their head because they aren’t real INTJ’s, they’re wannabees.
What’s an ECTJ?
EC -Fucking assholes. I think admin is letting us use 2 ‘fucks’ per comment these days, so might as well get an extra one in.
Save them all for your gf.
Correction, dear sir, we know we know better than you. Knowing basics about life (or reality) is not knowing it all.
Strong INTJ here – yup. Looks great.
But, winter.. now winter might be a bit rough… Where to keep all that firewood stacked? Ok, Maggie, I get it – in the barn on the other side of the hill..
To keep the damn tax man’s nose out of yer business!
Needs a moat and some alligators.
Looks like I wasnt the only one along that line of thought.
As an ENTJ, I require more trees on my homestead.
Would you consider landscaping a la Vlad the Impaler? There is lots of eligible ‘dead wood’ to plant.
Doug – I was just mentioning to my wife that it’s too bad that someone like Vlad the Impaler couldn’t be visiting DC in the near future….. Somewhat surprised that ANYONE else would even know of him.. Strange.
Great minds ‘n all. Solutions are obvious, but pastes and mulches are probably more practical signs of recovery.
Looks inviting. Simplified.
Alas, the fireplace for warmth might be outlawed if the pigtailed 15-yr. old Greta and her legion impose their will upon us.
Too much of a carbon footprint, so, buy goosedown layers & bundle up.
The other thing is the heat signature that can be seen by Flir with Elon’s satellites, for to zero in on scofflaws, to dispatch with annihilation by stealth drone.
Screw em. When you’re shivering, throw another chunk of hardwood on the embers, Mable.
If it hasn’t been stolen, and there’s available supply.
Got wood?
I’m not so sure about Gretta. We’ve been keeping the woodstove going most of the time to generate as much CO2 and heat out the top of the stovepipe as we can, and it STILL seems awfully cold outside. Maybe it has to do with that little fusion ball in the sky being low on the horizon and not out much this time of year, and all that snow laying around reflecting radiation back up. Just maybe.
Greta
Oh, oops. You’re correct. Thanks.
That’s an absurd idea. Like the sun MATTERS . . . as IF its position in the sky has anyTHING to do with ANYthing . . . CO2 is the devil here, you dimwit! How dare you NOT accept the brainwashing! How dare you not cowtow to those who DO accept the brainwashing! YOU are a BAD human for not UNDERSTANDING that HUMAN ACTIVITY/RESPIRATION/LIFE is bad for the planet!!!!
/s/off
Oh, oh, I am SO ashamed. Well, not really….. If CO2 really is the problem, I say we ALL just stop breathing, shall we? Ok, on the count of three, 1, 2. … Never mind. How about if all those who believe this BS volunteer to stop breathing to “save the planet”?
YES!!
Tsk, the Obama EPA was all over wood burning stoves, almost outlawed them.
“4. Please note that although the federal regulation does not affect you if your wood burning stove was purchased before the new regulation went into effect, state regulations may. Some states are going even farther than the federal regulations, trying to outlaw wood burning stoves altogether, especially within city limits.”
Well, we definitely live somewhere east of bum fuck Egypt, so I think we’re exempt.
They can only have my woodstove when they pry it out of my burnt dead hands.
Pry it out of your burnt dead hands? Now that’s funny….
Idyllic
ISTJ approved
As long as it’s got high speed internet.
That literally is about how I live
I wish I had a hill like that I would build one of these in a heartbeat.
I really wanted an underground home on our hillside with one wall facing southwest where our basement opens now. I knew a couple people who lived in one and I thought it was cool… really, cool in summer and warm in winter with very little energy cost each month.
The cost goes into an underground home up front in getting all the wiring and plumbing in place and secure for all time BEFORE you build. It is a big cost up front.
To prepare the plumbing and electricity for this log home required only around $20K for the basement and $18K for the barn. We could have used the carport and treehouse on site for storage, but in the end, building the barn ahead of time was one of the smartest things we did.
Still.
I do love a nice inground home. There are some really nice ones I’ve seen.
All I have is a gental slope…but I am building our second home on it for the best drainage.
gentle
I saw a gentile slope once.
He was reading the New Testament.
Ha!
That was just a kind soft spoken gook.
Basement or crawlspace? I ask because my brother and I are looking into a water-proofing . . . “opportunity” . . . and there are numerous ways to approach it, some better than others. But before we leap into a business we have to first waterproof our childhood home, which floods everytime there is a dew.
Kidding. But not by much.
MG – Are you and Mark familiar with the Earthship concept from the ’70s? There is an Earthship community in northern NM off Hwy 64 between Tres Piedras and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge (W of Taos) if you’re ever out that way. Other places, too, but this is one I’m aware of.
Far out!
Or . . . groovy?
Like, totally cosmic.
Man.
Wow.
missing the barbed-wire and dobermans
Yes, where is the fence?
I like it but I would want it on a river !
What’s below ground:

Looks great, but.. How many INTJs can you pack in there before it goes critical? Ok, so there are some non-INTJs here on TBP, too, so I suppose if we had enough in there as buffering agents it might work… Dunno. Someone help me out with this. Not information to do an accurate calculation at this point…
All an INTJ needs is a door and 3 walls, and enough room to comfortably read a book/draft a blog post/manifesto. If that schematic is any indication, there is plenty of room for . . . for . . . for cubicles. With a smidge of separation . . . “critical” is buffered, avoided, a non-issue.
Oh, please, not cubicles!!! I spent my life in rooms of those damn things. You really DO want me to think I’ve died and gone to hell, don’t you?
No no, the point is not to spend your “life” in between them, but to have refuge when the community gets too much for you.
And it will. Because . . . mad genius is not a cooperative.
“my life” as in my working life. Today, I’m free of those things and would like to keep it that way !
put the vid in the wrong slot twice!
Man Shitforbrains.
…
Now we are talking!
I wonder how many of us there are on TBP? I’m in…
We did a post with the test. I’d say about 70% of TBPers are INTJ
The other 30% are groupies.
http://www.humanmetrics.com/personality/intj
I remember the other one… I was “barely” an INTJ by one point then.
I seem to have gained a couple percentage points. Not many.
If you have to take a test to find out if your an INTJ. That’s funny.
Are You Gullible? Take this simple test to find out.
Seriously, the test is almost the same except I was 10/10/10/1…
I’m borderline INTP…
Is why I’m tolerant of beaners and not judgmental or prejudiced like most of the INT(b)Pers around here. Just sayin’.
“You’ve forgotten more than I ever knew!” A great line…
when I fell out of my chair, I spilled my beer, d*mn it!
Was hoping to make the Beaner laugh, but I’ll take it!
Jung was a Communist.
We have many of those houses in KY, low population, low black population and plenty of hooch….. I must be in the right place. 🙂
I always balk at the idea of a woman Rational. However, it is interesting what you said about gaining points from P -> J. I think the normie-matrix makes us doubt ourselves. The Dunning-Kruger effect may be due in part or whole to civilized decline from the inside out.
after seeing this,i want to get to the boonies & never have to talk to a stranger again–
the nfl is allowing a commercial during the super bowl that features 2 drag queens–
they just keep shoving it in our face,don’t they?
https://americanfamilyassociation.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/i/6FB9AB1CE5725A442540EF23F30FEDED/742E40D5C872C42FDCC9454293137CA2
Not mine. I’m not watching the Super Bowl.
Yes, I love the picture. A place more defensible might be better. It looks a tad exposed. The smoke is so well done there’s no seem. There is a pattern, but it’s excellent.
I am an INTJ. I used to think I was an INTP. When I read “Please Understand Me II” I learned that the progression is normal. Anyone else here an INTJ that used to think you were an INTP? If the proprietor is an INTJ, that could explain a lot about me not being banned. Still, the concept of a rational Christian eludes me. Must be hell, as in just another dystopian, contrarian perspective.
There were really bad days at work (and there were many in the semiconductor manufacturing industry (appreciate those little microprocessors in your computer, people)), where I’d sometime look around and ask others the question – “So, how do know for sure that we haven’t all died and this is hell?”
A follow-up: (1) is there any INTJ community? (2) would INTJ’s do well together IRL?
My experience with Mensa is that IQ is vector magnitude but emotion is IQ direction, at least generally. I was hoping that everyone would think the same zip code. The split between Dems and Repubs was about 50/50. I have concluded that agreement comes from herding instincts not thinking. It is my wet dream to converge on the truth with my people by independent assessment of evidence. Anyone even approach that (without religion of course)?
In real life . . . CHESS. Anyone who plays you and beats you – or loses – who will not play again is a narcissist OR a cheat, or both. Not to be fux’d with when it counts.
“Agreement” is de facto cognition; what you describe, “herding instincts” – is merely “following” the leader. NOT thinking, indeed.
A rational atheist eludes me, but to each his own, which may be why you are not banned. Your people??
Me thinks you are fundamentally with your tribe and can’t imagine being alone in spirit. Culture is everything.
Uh huh. My tribe is my family and friends, and I also enjoy being alone. In spirit. And I mourn for my “culture”. Again, who are “your people”?
A vision of what could be and what I need. I thought that was obvious. It is people that share my cultural values. That I could constructively live with and like it. Culture defines a people. It’s axiomatic. You either accept the premise of culture or you do not. Of course I have no people. I can’t function without my people. Trying to reinvent myself and failing. Get it?
It really needs a sod roof to blend in better
Yes, an earth home that looks small on the outside is my way of thinking, though sunlight is necessary for good health. Too bad the heat signature will be bold. Would take a high cliff to hide well and not be below ground. Ain’t nothing like power. Too bad Americans gave that up.
Just missing a moat and a bunch of crocs in the water.
No trees to cut down for firewood, bad plan. What are they burning, hay?
Heat tabs…
looks like ireland,think coal
or dung husks. Seriously… in Kansas, they did that.
Ha, you’d need alot of those to make up for 4 cords per winter which is what I go through up here.
I have thoughts on that.
Needs more sticker bushes & shit to help it fly under the radar and keep the Jehovah’s Witness and other irritants away.
PEOPLE !!!!!
Does anyone else think that we’re just all part of a social experiment that admin is running where he just posts some random picture with some teaser line, then waits to see all the different tangents the conversations travel ?????????
Yes.
If so, so what?
Part of the descriptive personality evaluation that was posted says an INTJ sees something and THINKS “what could be”. There’s obviously more to the eye and I’m sorry you aren’t perceiving that.
As a mildly old fart, I don’t want to consider what could be any more. It hurts too much and I achieve nothing for it. I don’t think delayed gratification has been generally rewarded in America for a decade or more.
What bothers me is the quantifiable surveys. I did not take the provided test. I know my score. Just being cautious. What scares me is the surveys at the end of normie articles to see how effective they are as propaganda. They are surely monetizing the data, and only tax money could bid on propaganda research. I’m sure the normies have no idea.
WHIA INTJ ? AMTM. MYK…True? ESBSTI. MTIWB. Hahaha!!
mm, could be nice, though not a whole lot of trees around, thats a long way to haul firewood (and everything else).. and , dunno about the lay of the land beyond the hilltop but the house being blind on three sides like that could make it very easy for intruders to sneak up on the place and trap the occupant inside (or e.g. smoke him out). i’d really hope that it has a tunnel heading to the back of the hill. if it doesnt, dig one.. but it’s definitely a move in the right direction.
Oh, man — men, I mean. Buzzed past that photo of prime real estate and backtracked to yearn at it. Just took the test and am a ruby above price, a female INTJ, scoring 94, 31, 69, and 34, respectively. My few male friends were physicists, mathematicians, a theoretical chemist, all dead now, I always appealed more to older people; two female friends in my whole life, an IT specialist/grain-windmiller, and a fundamentalist Pentecostal. National award-winning lacemaker; complete popular failure as fibres artist, with subjects like Khashoggi, rampant overpopulation resulting in nuclear devastation, Algis Budrys (not sure of that spelling), political psychopathy. Probably the only honest ‘portraits’ of our time being made, from which viewers recoil, in fear it seems. There must be someone out there who wants to be friends?
Welcome to TBP, Ruby. You are going to have a LOT of NOOBE friends!
It sounds like you are just in time to meet and greet the folks!
You’d better tone it down, Bertha. Before Ruby thinks your a bull dyke.
Oh, I’ve been around a while, window-shopping. Enjoyed the post about Tinkerbell Trudeau garbed as a pious Hindu a while back, laughed and laughed at all the comments. My middle name is Canuck, Ruby Canuck Worth, pleased to meetcha all. Can’t stand that sanctimonious dickbreath.
