    Mmm. I generally read "toe the line" as "come close to crossing the line." But I've been informed that this is wrong by multiple people in my immediate vicinity My apologies.

    In the Britiish Parliament, the government and opposition MPs sit at at opposite sides, facing each other. There is a line on the floor in front of the front benches. They are meant to prevent the MPs from fighting each other (as they were prone to, in the old days). So if two MPs would stand on the floor and start shouting at each other, the Speaker would say, "toe the line!" to prevent them from actually fighting.

    I see.

    Which type would ridicule others for "doing more than they have to" when drunk? I tend to rant about how I get away with a bunch of shit by ingratiating myself with my teachers and managing to stay in school despite not doing anything that's really expected of me. It does make me feel bad, though, because it sounds sometimes like I'm "manipulating them," which I'm really not; just getting in their good graces and participating in class. The subjective breaks I get, well, they're just a coincidence , of course :wink:

    Not sure. I can see any Alpha or Beta irrational doing that. Although perhaps most typically SLE, based on Marlon Brando's memoirs (which are not very revealing about his life, but are very revealing socionically).

    Yeah but uhm, I don't really do much, and always considered people that sacrifice their lives to studies to be on the wrong path

    So you don't do what I do. I don't work at all except for big assignments. I often miss class (which is required at my school). I just take tests and am good to my female teachers The male ones, I have to either intimidate and make them feel like I'm smarter than them, or if they're too confident, just make a generally favorable impression and participate a lot in their class. Every class I've been in so far I rightfully should have failed or been kicked out of for missing too many classes, and yet after three semesters I'm still in school AND have all of my financial aid (minus work study; I'm no teacher's errand boy). I could go into detail about what other specifics I've gotten away with in each class, but I think you get the point.

    Ahaha. That's brilliant. I can't believe you've put up with this shitty picture for over two years, Expat.
