Courtship and behavior surrounded around arousal; possibly synonymous interpretations based on a presented form of masculinity—which those who are looking to attract a mate adopt as a personality trait…or maybe global warming.

It’s idiotic to make blanket statements dismissing people based on an immutable trait and then not consider the real life implications. The median age of women in the current Congress is 64—vs 46 for men—so your plan to force retirement at 65 takes out half the women. But disparate impact is fine?

My toxic personality trait is waking up sore and grumpy and changing all of my plans for the day based on that and then having some coffee and medicine and feeling better and putting those plans back in place

Another brick in the wall of European subterranean spider knowledge: adding Macaronesian species and their traits to the picture
doi.org/10.32942/X2D...
Graph showing the trait space representation for Macaronesian subterranean spiders. The plot is based on the first two axes of a principal coordinate analysis describing the trait similarity among species. Small black and white dots are individual species, and large orange dots are the centroids for each family. Colour gradient reflects the density of species, with a higher density in darker areas, and, in turn, highly represented trait combinations.

🕷️ Working with cave spiders? Fascinated by trait-based ecology?

We've just updated the checklist of European cave spiders, plus a fresh database of their traits.

🌾 RESEARCH 🌾

Association analysis on 450 rice accessions identified 67 marker–trait associations for grain yield under reproductive drought stress, linked to 23 genes. Introgressed haplotypes increased yield by 25–27% under drought - Singh et al.

Fig. 1.A visual representation of the methodological flow employed in this study to unravel significant SNP associations, identify candidate genes, and discover superior haplotypes associated with grain yield and related traits in rice. The flowchart demonstrates the sequential steps undertaken to identify SNP associations. Candidate genes associated with the identified SNPs are then analyzed, followed by haplotype analysis to identify superior haplotypes. These superior haplotypes has been utilized through haplotype-based breeding to develop climate-ready rice varieties with improved grain yield and related traits.

Racial trait the easy answer is he’s like an earth genasi but gem based. Long answer I run a Spelljammers campaign and he’s a homebrew race.

Thanks, image based work is my jam. Colour, shape, texture, and movement make sense to my brain in a way that language never has. It's a super useful trait for image based geo work that requires pattern recognition. The problem has been getting colleagues to accept this. 😉

This appears to be the defining trait of Republicans actually, this mindless loyalty based upon raw emotions like hate, and fear, and jealousy, and greed. They are not especially rational, which is why all of their plans were so terrible in the first place. I do not expect any Republicans to change.

The biggest issue to overcome is healing from damage. Standard Pendragon leaves you out for weeks/months. More technologically based games can overcome the issue with modern alternatives, of course. The trait system works really well in all genres.

Should I assume all reverend are horrible disgusting people just because you are?? I wont because I'm not like you. I don't judge people based on others that share a common trait.

Just tried out the Monotropism questionnaire. Monotropism is a model of a key autistic trait - the tendency to focus intensely on a few interests. I answered honestly & scored pretty highly. It's an area with some research behind it & lots of community discussion.

Text that reads: This score suggests that you are more Monotropic than about 60% of autistic people and about 97% of allistic people based on data from the initial validation study.

Yet you don’t seem to disagree with “sex is a spectrum” people in any meaningful way, since you agree that sex is not a binary. If sex is not a discrete trait then it is a continuous one (and, indeed, it is). How we construct categories of “male” and “female” based on that continuum is academic.

TFT trait idea: looting bees, each round they collect pollen from kills. Then you’d get loot and stats for each milestone. The tier five could also have a “queen bee” trait that enhances the units based on pollen collected?

“throwing shade on this idea”
Screenshot from article: “For decades, psychologists have thought of creativity as a key trait that would set us apart from machines, even as they surpassed us in intelligence and skill. But now, a wave of generative Al models, which create new content based on learning from huge data sets, is throwing shade on this idea.”

A fun comparison of the SAMBA (Cigna) 2025 and 2026 plan year anti-discrimination policies. Note that they both say that they comply with Federal antidiscrimination law, but the 2026 plan removes sexual orientation and gender identity from the protected classes. Federal law hasn't changed.
A comparison of the 2025 and 2026 SAMBA (Cigna) health insurance "Discrimination is Against the Law" sections. 2025 language- "We comply with applicable Federal nondiscrimination laws and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, or sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity). We do not exclude people or treat them differently because of race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, or sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity). The health benefits described in this brochure are consistent with applicable laws prohibiting discrimination. All coverage decisions will be based on nondiscriminatory standards and criteria. An individual’s protected trait or traits, for example a member’s gender identity or the fact that the covered benefit is sought in connection with gender-affirming care, will not be used to deny health benefits for items, supplies, or services that are otherwise covered and determined to be medically necessary." 2026 language - "We comply with applicable Federal nondiscrimination laws and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, sex, pregnancy, or genetic information.

A lack of empathy is a common trait of autocratic tyrants!

Rising fascism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on its perils: unjust war; failed democracy; race-based oppression.

it is both an interesting fact about the world that a non-zero correlation exists between big five trait personality scores and self-submitted photos and it seems utterly fucking nuts for a company to make hiring decisions based on r ~= 0.25 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

ladies if your bestie looks like the woman on the left, ask yourself if your friendship is really serving you. think about whether she’s as conscientious as she wants you to believe she is.
screeenshot of digital draft of the paper mentioned in the quoted post: The figure below, reproduced from Figure 1 in KODSN, illustrates the underlying rationale and feasibility of Al-based facial personality extraction and visualizes how trained neural networks might 'see' distinctions among different personality types. [FIGURE SHOWING A 2x2 grid of male and female faces on either end of a spectrum of “conscientiousness”] This figure is reproduced in grayscale from Figure 1 in Kachur et al. (2020), who developed the neural network-based personality extraction methodology used in this paper. KODSN overlay images of male and female individuals who scored very low on the conscientiousness trait in the survey (left) as well as those who scored very high in the survey (right). The image morphs reveal facial differences, some of which may even be noticeable to the human eye, suggesting that a neural network can learn to associate distinct survey-based personality traits with specific facial features. Furthermore, Al-based algorithms will be able

And to cut this short again.
They span the NY area.

Even if they were internally based on unusual (!) amounts of equality, that does not:

- make that a general trait of this time
- turn this into socialism

I feel like I know whether people think I'm empathetic or not based on like, vibes. do they come to me to talk about their problems? looking for support or care? then they must think I'll show empathy to them. but that means making assumptions about others motives, which trends as an allistic trait?

We trained scores for ~60 quantitative traits in 256k UKB individuals, and found that these had higher correlation with values in the 64k test set than models based on raw variant annotations did. Individuals with high FlexRV-PRS were also more enriched for outlier trait values.
