  1. Thank you both. I don't mean to suggest that our problems are necessarily life-altering in any way. Everyone has some problems, on some level, it seems. We just want to be prudent when it comes to leveraging available technologies to put ourselves in the best position to have a successful future together, whatever that might mean. It might mean nothing. It might mean a lot.
  2. i will point out for the record that my own personal genetics are of great interest to me. i happen to have awful genes, i suppose. i am now 31; i never knew my maternal grandfather -- my mother never knew her father. she was 3 when he passed away from heart disease. my paternal grandparents both passed away in my teens, my grandfather with alzheimers and my grandmother from cancer perhaps related to smoking, but addiction in general is very common in my family. my own father passed away a couple years ago from issues related to cancer, though it wasn't necessarily obvious cancer was an issue because he lived his entire life with a degenerative bone disease that caused calcium buildups (real bone spurs) in his joints. he had both his hips replaced and was in desperate need for knee and shoulder replacements when he passed. my girlfriend with whom i'd like to start a family has historical issues as well. these all weigh heavily on us when we discuss our future.
  3. no, sorry. i apologize for you actually taking time responding to my trolling. my comment was much more a reflection on the credibility of 23andme specifically as an organization than on your results. amazon suggests to me that a lot of people (over a significant sample) have issues with dealing with them.
  4. it explains a lot more that you would participate in 23andme at all, for what that's worth.
  5. History of Trump W.H. communications directors, in Mooches: Spicy, 6 Mooches Mike Dubke, 9 Mooches Spicy Again, 5 more Mooches Anthony Scaramucci, 1 Mooch Hope Hicks, 2.1 DecaMooches
  6. But Donald said the white lies were the good kind, the best kind, what do you mean I can't admit to that in an investigation?
  7. Although the section on Carter Page's Moscow section is heavily redacted it suggests Page has been lying about his meetings and that the DOJ independently corroborated that section of the dossier. Link Adam Schiff says that the DOJ has corroborated the Carter Page section of the Steele dossier. What does that section claim? Memo quote - Steele dossier quote Page had a secret meeting with Igor Sechin - Rosneft Prez Sechin offered brokerage of Rosneft sale to Trump team Page had a secret meeting with Divyekin. Divyekin told Page that the Kremlin had incriminating info on Clinton. Divyekin hinted to Page that the Kremlin had kompromat on Trump.
  8. With the release of the memo, a few things should be obvious: As I said, attempts to block this memo were strictly political as it shows the lengths republicans went to make up a narrative that their rube supporters could get fired up about. There was never a security threat. Gowdy and Nunes are strictly party over country. Pure, unadulterated pieces of garbage. They want an authoritarian government as much as Dear Leader. Carter Page seems to be a useless idiot. Fox News requires a few hours to spin their talking points to match their narrative. They seem to be on board with the idea that Nunes is a piece of ***** right now. I'm sure Hannity will somehow figure out a way to blame this on Hillary or Obama or pizzagate or the kids in Florida with enough preparation. Chris Steele is a legitimate source of information. The DOJ and FBI are doing their jobs. The courts are doing their jobs. There is no partisan conspiracy. I'm sure more will come, but this is a huge LOL to the GOP. Try harder to save the sinking ship, you rats.
  9. What's your point? Fairy tales have existed throughout human history with the goal of teaching some lessons. Calling it religion doesn't change what it is.
  10. i agree with that 100%. the high-horse schtick is incredibly obnoxious. the internet term is SJW or white knight.

    That's a prison. You're both describing a prison.
  12. Might be interesting to charge these lobbyists with FARA violations and see what else they know. It seems Mueller's original indictments were just a warning shot with the hopes of getting Manafort to sing. Wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's afraid of flipping lest he or his family got suicided.
  13. To be clear, Rick Gates will plead down to conspiracy against the United States of America. Lordy.
  14. I guess we'll have to disagree. I read "preferential access to survival resources" as instinctual rather than learned.
  15. The fact that racism in some form or another has existed throughout the entirety of human history suggests to me that it's more than just something that kids pick up from their parents as they get older.
  16. absolutely, god wouldn't have created us any other way. we're perfect.

    thoughts and prayers are the best that are offered after a tragedy like this. death threats, conspiracy theories, victim shaming, and trashing children are also well within the expected response range, apparently. this is fine. perfectly fine.

    it's cute that you think anyone cares.
  19. [citation needed] studies suggest even infants prefer their own race.
  20. I may be mistaken, but this anecdote doesn't strongly suggest to me that you cared about voting one way or another as a teenager. I certainly didn't care. To some, I imagine it would be much more important (otherwise this conversation is entirely moot).
