    Will definitely take a long while. People in general aren't up to be criticized on that one, even indirectly. Children are like cute kitties: no one wants to see them tortured, but…

    I mean, Myers-Briggs is bollocks anyway so we shouldn't be using it for anything but funsies. I have a dream that one day we will shit hard on that sort of stuff instead of validat…
