Those DNA kits work differently than what you might expect. When they say “you’re 20% German”, what they mean is that you’ve got 20% of the genetic markers they’ve identified in modern people who identify as German.
This might not seem like a big difference, but it is because genetics doesn’t respect political boundaries. Ancestry will not tell you that you’re 60% Texan because “Texas” isn’t a recognized biological origin. Even though people have been there as long as they’ve been in Mexico.
You also have to accept that 20th Century Germans who’ve participated in DNA testing is the absolute standard for what a “German” is.
Nonsense. The idea of “national DNA” is incoherent leftovers from race-theory.


I don’t know why an atheist would be seen as less likely to be bigoted than general population. That’s certainly not my experience especially with regards to Islam. I’d argue that anti-theism is a kind of bigotry.
Many famous atheists are just public misogynists and Islamophobes riding the Joe Rogan circuit with Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro. And let’s not forget how many of them were guests at Epstein Island. Richard Dawkins withered under the spotlight of fame like Smegol under the one ring.
There was a time on the Internet when the atheists were the good guys. It was the same time that Elon Musk was cool.


It’s a funny thing. It’s made me realize that being a pacifist or being anti gun is, in a way, almost a privileged position to take. It’s easy to say “I’m anti violence” when your existence isn’t being threatened, it’s a lot harder to stomach as the threats get more real.
Your existence was being threatened but now that you have a gun you’re safe? Sounds like creative writing to me. What was the threat? How did you counter that threat with a gun? Was their a big confrontation? Did you have to put a motherfucker down?


TLDR: Classic libertarians think the government should have limited power so they can’t hurt people. American libertarians think the government should have limited power so they can’t help people.


Does anybody use a screensaver in 2026?


The American war for independence is a pretty anemic “revolution”. Think about the material conditions of the average American before and after. Now compare that to revolutionary France, Haiti, or Russia.
It’s almost embarrassing to say your fighting for “freedom” when right next door, literal enslaved people were throwing Napoleon’s army into the sea with machetes.


That’s pretty much how it already works. It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.
I have a small library of music CDs, because I liked music before there was an internet. I recently ripped them to .FLACC.


I don’t understand why people drag on sugar-babies like they’re the stupid ones in the situation.


I think he’s absorbed the lesson from Iraq&Afghanistan that airstrikes are safe.

Safe, clean, and renewable. It’s the energy source of the future.
Average life spans. People in ancient times didn’t drop dead at forty. They regularly lived to be advanced ages we would consider normal. It’s just that infant and young child deaths were so common it really drags down the average.


I can not be created, only confirmed.


Watching Youtube videos. It’s as good as college for anyone with a little savvy. I’ll bet that Youtube employs more PHD philosophers than any three universities.


Turf grass. It’s the stupidest crop ever cultivated by humanity.
Lawns are an 17th century European fashion trend. We poison the soil with herbicides to defend grass. We poison the water with fertilizers to feed grass. Many US households through HOAs or zoning regulations are legally required to cultivate and martian grass. Grass doesn’t feed anyone, except the insects that die soon afterwards from all the poison.


Maybe your looking for “toxic-positivity”?
It’s the type of mindset where everything must be positive, even if that means discounting or ignoring negative feelings, bad behavior, and bad situations.
This is a recognized psychological phenomena and can range from normal “keep your chin up” type stuff to full blown “FUD will not be tolerated” cult type stuff
“freindzone” is a self-inflicted wound. Nobody can make you cower in the corner waiting for your “opportunity”. Nobody made you look at friendship with the opposite sex as something that must be suffered so as to be due a reward.
