You don't dial up the levels of the traits?
Does "you don't dial up the levels of the traits" mean "you are not able to choose the levels of the psychopathic characters"?
Background info:
"The words 'psychopath' and 'success' should never be in the same sentence," Lillian says. "Psychopaths are dangerous people, and to encourage someone to act like a psychopath is both irresponsible and dangerous."
She does not subscribe to the notion that we all have some psychopath within us. "You either are one or you are not one," she says. "And if you are a psychopath, you don't dial up the levels of the traits. ... It can't be done. Psychopaths don't pick and choose how ruthless or nonempathetic they will be. They are these traits, and it is not by degree."
Lillian says, "All of these characteristics are wrong when they hurt others. A lack of conscience is very wrong, and an absence of one can lead to committing criminal acts on others. Ruthlessness is not a good characteristic. It is a bad characteristic."

No, it means that psychopaths cannot choose how psychopathic they are, they cannot control the level of their psychopathic traits. By the way, did you try getting back into your old account?

The problem with the old account was probably caused by the filter of our country, which has been recently frequently active to block the access to this site (How weird! Why do they want to block this innocent site? It also sometimes wipes out my cookie record. Presently the site is blocked, I access it now only by using "Application of Leaping the Wall" (How terrible the censorship is! The speed

It seems odd that one account works but the other doesn't. The strange workings of the mysterious internet!
Are you absolutely sure you want to keep "SweetFreedom" and close "NL888"?

I am sure two accounts can work at the same time when the connection to this site is stable.
But if you tried an account to log in when the access to the site was unstable, you kept trying several times yet failed. It would give you an unpleasant impression for the account. The Internet is great; it is only mysterious in our country's part. I have no clue when the connection is stable

I'll let the Admins know about the situation. The forum rules prohibit two accounts, so they may insist on deactivating one of them, but we'll see what they say.
