  1. If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? (But not personal or family related situations)

    If not that then what comic book level superpower would you like to have? Without the implications of actual physics and bodily harm, I mean.

  2. "Warded off" can also mean a lot of things. Probably not anything special here, but take rogue males:

    Placing three female nichelings tile to tile in a triangle wards off rogues. That means with a low bar they will mate with one but always avoid the others, after. With very high bars I've had two, but that might be abnormal and reason into more details. Still, at least one is always avoided, 90%+ of the time two. So they're actually both avoided and targeted. 

    You can make an argument for: one murder/attack?/mating attempt lowers the bar and they're then repulsed by standard warding. But that makes the worth of it really questionable to me, at least. You'd have to seperate actions that lower bars by area warding from distasteful traits. The first can kick in only later but I haven't had a predator go : "you know what, let's not eat you".

  3. They're less likely to come your way to begin with. But as Skysplash said, predators get more hungry over time. You'd have to account for the difference between warded off and unspotted vs. warded off and spotted + time, too. In other words, there might be a radius where they're less likely to approach your direction, and a radius where they would not approach your nicheling. 

    But I haven't tried to use them as bluebird protection. Nesting a tile right next to them seems tedious. But possible required?? I'd test, but there's no sense to when they attempt to eat my babies or not. Camouflage seems to matter less than nicheling density and tribe size. They're very distractable, but that's it. Nice, looming entities, horrible test subjects.

  4. Well, at some point you too might become paranoid about chocking and decrease the rate of incidents to 6,25% at maximum hysteria

    You just have to, um, chew food differently? That kind of stopped my long history of chocking on nothing, except for water, as you can't solve the stupid. 

  5. The problem some planting suggestions prevent or don't care to is that it has a serious balancing issue. Georgie might have suggested something alike with tree life spans to counteract. I can't really remember. There was also one with digging and tree roots? Haven't checked these for too long...

  6. There's everytime my cousin and I pretended to stream some show on holiday and hence oversleep the next day, but actually, broke out at 2 am like some barbaric pre-internet era people. 

    My mum and aunt only cared about churches and ruins and all the boring archaeology stuff. So that was about the only way for us to explore. In peace, anyway.

    Or talk without someone potentially listening in.  What is family without having mutual blackmail on each other. Someone sure used to have her head on straight.

    I like how I’m counted as a mutation.

    Seriously though, I don’t have anything remotely interesting. Brown hair, brown eyes, white skin and that’s it. 

    At least you could be carrying a distressing, horrible, terrible mutation you don't know about. My half-aunt has one of those! Only she and a handful of people around the world enjoy the benefit of breaking bones more easily. I'm so jealous. Just got the hard bones from my grandfather

  8. They can't. It's built on the most common patterns in overall types like IQ tests are most statistically significant around the wider middle than the far edges. No learning disabilities knowable below a level, no sure measurement above the high end. If they throw a thinking style system together with values not that linked some people won't get clean results. Esp. as these rarely have useful subtypes

    (Snow. Internet's been eaten, no editing)

  9. With MBTI you can test for individual functions if you're really determined to find out. It's not uncommon to have a strong function not assigned to your type, which messes scores up more. 

    Tests in general tend to claim correlations though that aren't actually here. MBTI is still pretty solid on income predictions and IQ, though not job prediction. That kind of tells a lot about it. The Big Five are widely accepted as fact, but really, the whole thing has been torn down both ways by people picking the "right" studies. It's crazy. Impressive, but crazy if you claim universality. They can't.
