Do you have any weird abilities you never trained or learned? I don’t mean like superpowers, I mean more mundane things like how some people can remember long strings of numbers or how some people have perfect pitch. I bet some of y’all can fart on command.

I can attest that I have a 100% success rate in determining if a person is evil within seconds of meeting them. I don’t know what that’s called but it’s like the thing Bruce Willis does in Unbreakable. I’ve successfully identified people I’ve thought were going to be murderers several times and I was correct. I’ve been able to identify racists, a guy who neglected his kids, and I was the only person in my entire family to get weird feelings about one of my uncles. He ended up getting convicted of fraud because he was stealing life insurance payouts at his insurance job. I just go off vibes and maybe I’m ignoring all the false positives I get but anecdotally I’ve always been correct about my weird feelings, and I often detect evil in people who are otherwise well-liked among others before they do the evil thing. I just feel it even when there’s no noteworthy evidence I dunno.

So can y’all do anything cool?

    I envy your ability, even with the associated drawbacks.

    I have a question, can you distinguish between someone who wouldn’t hurt you without a reason, but wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire unless there was something in it for them?

      I can’t really predict what a person is going to do, I just get a bad feeling about them. It’s not a precise skill. At most I can maybe guess how evil they are, like I can guess if they’re simply a person who will openly say slurs versus someone like a murderer. But the only tangible information I can determine from a person is if they should be avoided.
