Update [7/6/2014]: Updated the poll again! Choose your champions and placers

Update [5/27/2014]: I changed the poll to HERE due to some limitations on Batoto with topic polls.

VOTE!

 
Discussion! Who are you rooting for?  Which teams has the best/worst chances of winning in their groups? What are your thoughts about the Caxirola? Should the sheer amount of tangerine orange used by the Dutch be banned during games because it's so blinding? What do you think about the new goal line technology that's going to be implemented? It's Miroslav Klose's last World Cup appearance, do you think he can break the record for most world cup goals?

I'm bored so here you go!

Post songs here that remind you of certain potatoes! Please put them inside spoiler tags for the surprise! (and to save those with slow connections from torture) If you do get tagged, you're not obligated to respond nor are you required to comment but it would be nice and cool if you can add something to the thread

First up!

The R-Drive Personality system is based on the idea that genetics and environment result in distinct motivation drives that essentially define individual personality. Person A had a very artistic father (and other relatives) and that's a big part of why they are artistic (genetic). Person B had a really bad experience taking risks as a child which caused them to become very cautious (environmental) and/or they come from a very cautious family (genetic).
 
It is important to note that these motivation drives are influenced by individual subjective perception of rewards. A person because of genetics and/or environment perceives certain behaviors to be rewarding (even if in the long term and/or short term, they may not be). The person with an eating disorder or drinking problem or penchant to package bad mortgages and sell them as good mortgages to retirement fund managers (wiping out people's nest eggs) perceives rewards from their behavior and that is why they continue to engage in it.
 
What makes you who you are (what careers you may prefer, friends you might get along better with, romantic partners you might be more suited to, positive and negative personal characteristics and life outcomes) is highly influenced by your perceptions of what is rewarding. People with more accurate/correct perceptions of what's actually rewarding (to themselves and others) will be more likely to live happier/healthier lives and have a more positive effect on others.

Perceived reward: (if you scored highly)

• External validation makes me happy
• Being unconventional makes me happy
• Being planned makes me happy
• Being/knowing who I am makes me happy
• Helping others makes me happy
• Being independent makes me happy
• Being honest/forthcoming makes me happy
• Intellectual complexity makes me happy
• Being calm makes me happy
• Being structured makes me happy
• Change makes me happy
• Physical exercise makes me happy
• Romantic love makes me happy
• Being 'high' makes me happy

Well it certainly got my lack of productivity and dislike of change right haha. I guess this says a lot about me, more so than MBTI tests considering i pretty much live my life in pursuit of happiness with little regard to consequences (procrastination princess here, kinda) lolololol

I accidentally put orange juice in my 4th cup of coffee earlier. 

My family's the stereotypical strict asian family so the little they know, the better.

My friends....know a bit more of what I do and like. Anime, manga and porn the normal stuff.
