NightmareOnElmStreet Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Random not so random but how many of yall have done that dna test shit and would you or why haven’t you?? I got no reason to be on any soapbox tinfoil hat shit about it really but I kinda am. Highly fucking doubt it matters. We are all fucked anyways somehow some way what’s a blood test?? Maybe? Idk. Thoughts?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Hard pass from me on that one. Gut feeling that, hard to put into words which does not make for the greatest conversations. I do not trust the companies to have any integrity and I am not interested to find out about my ancestry. Had a family friend pass away recently, this guy never even had a email address, finding anything about him online is very difficult. It's a trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUGR Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I’m not so interested in doing it. I have had aunts and uncles do it and tell me their results already. Also have a 500ish page book going over the family history on one side. So pretty clear picture of who, what, when, where. All sides have big family reunions frequently that tell the story of my people. You just trying to confirm if you’re .000001 Sicilian or not…..;) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 About 12 years ago I got a 23 and me test given as a gift. Didn't think about it much, learned some fascinating stuff, disregarded after the initial info dump. In hindsight, I wouldn't do it. I don't think it's paranoia to be concerned about what those companies will do with this info. Will my life insurance company reach out and pay them for my profile? Or my health insurance? At what point do my rates skyrocket because gene X187 shows up as increased rate for testicular cancer? Anyways, don't do it would be my input. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 My tinfoil hat game is tight. Fuck that shit. There's probably a gene in there that makes you more susceptible to temu ads and temu has found a way to trigger that son of a bitch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more French and Irish and almost no German, despite having a VERY German last name (not Hitler). I think it was almost 2% Ashkenazi, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never fail with the bottom peel Pro tips for next time: 1. Before getting started - take a deep breath 2. Be gentle - banana is equally delicate as it is delicious 3. Do not squeeze while peeling - death grip = a sad banana good luck, I think you can do it! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the small price one pays to join if you ask Me as the workplace is full of rat race dog eat dog types and a union protects you from these jealous and envious types in a worst case scenario from My experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
