honestly, both sides of my family have interesting stories

Dad's side had legit 15th century pirates

mom's side had organized crime

According to my great grandma I am related to davey crocket

And also to Italian mob bosses in New York

>The NY mob

Rusp

The best of both worlds

That was the Jew one

i had an ancestor come over on the mayflower

I’m not Jewish though

Don’t worry

Turnip is up to 10% Jewish

Only italian

Is what he told me

Ay Tone

I’m walkin ere

Man, I really like 23andme

They've come a long way with their site

It’s pretty swell

Run by the sister to susan wojewski

Who cares

On record saying they throw in african dna just to fuck with white nationalists

We’ll probably be dead before this info matters

Gent, I actually kind of agree with their methodology

They speculate on a lot of shit, and don't just make safe assumptions

Which is where that quote's from

Defending why they don't necessarily wait for full sample sizes, would rather just update it over time "fix it later"

Update their methodology? idk if it lends much to their credibility if you're getting different results upon a second entry

Sounds like an easy excuse for shortcomings

All of their results rely on more and more people sequencing their DNA

And even now, there are a lot of gaps

I prefer they decide to show you what they actually think, even if it's not correct (since they update it as they get more data)

Rather than; let's say, they extrapolate the 70% of you they know with certainty, and just fudge the remaining 30%

So even if I were to drop my assumptions of malice, they'd still end up being dishonest in not just giving you a percentage of legitimate uncertainty

They give you that too

But they just dump it in "unassigned" if you choose that

I don't think they're some saintly company

But I get tired of hearing about all the stupid conspiracy theories

"They make shit up" "they sell your DNA to China" "They're going to increase your healthcare costs"

since I was busy to respond to something earier

I am also taller than my dad by quite a bit gent
