Unemployment's effects on you

Genetics are only about 90% of the entire picture.

My sister-in-law's entire family is batshit insane. They also seem predisposed to seeking out and marrying other batshit insane people. Except her, she's rather normal. It's not trait specific, either. She is across the board more normal and functional than all her immediate relatives. She even had the same environment for the most part.

Clinically define "batshit insane" and "relatively normal" and sequence their genomes, or else she just goes in the pile with the rest of the data points.

For both males and females, long-term stability of [subjective well-being] was mainly attributable to stable additive genetic factors, whereas susceptibility to change was mostly related to individual environmental factors. However, both stable environmental contributions and emerging genetic influences were indicated.

The full quote.

Batshit insane = people you'd normally see on Springer or Maury. I swear to god I was checking for hidden cameras the first time I met them.

Normal = not batshit insane

susceptibility to change was mostly related to individual environmental factors

Change isn't all bad. Change is that which allows someone with a shitty start to get a decent ending.

They don't have to have 100% control to be fucking depressing.

Also, I got that reference.
