Gave him Buchanan's Decline of the West for Christmas.

2018-12-26 04:47:48 UTC  

He was excited for it and has read other Buchanan.

2018-12-26 04:49:06 UTC  

I've had a quite the huwite Christmas. not literally. all we've got is clouds and some rain.

2018-12-26 04:49:57 UTC  

My family spent a good amount of time looking over an extended family tree my sister has worked on for years

2018-12-26 04:50:56 UTC  

Talking about your ancestors is *implicit*

2018-12-26 04:58:19 UTC  

My parents have got ancestry tests that they'll be filling out and sending in

2018-12-26 04:58:32 UTC  

Ironic given how much of the general ancestry is known because of genetic testing

2018-12-26 05:31:43 UTC  

speaking of genetic testing, 23andme has a beta feature now that breaks down to which region in a country your ancestors most likely lived

2018-12-26 05:48:15 UTC  

Lovely. I bet you my entire family will be wanting to visit such and such village in such and such eurostani country in search of "the ancestral home"

2018-12-26 05:48:35 UTC  

It's like the plot to a bad horror movie. Sans the Elvira-esque introduction (the only reason I'd want to be near it)

2018-12-26 06:04:03 UTC  

I want to do a DNA test to see what heritable diseases I have

2018-12-26 06:19:30 UTC  

We have the disease of pathological altruism I just saved you a hundred dollars

2018-12-26 06:20:27 UTC  

you didn't actually

2018-12-26 06:20:45 UTC  

I just diagnosed I didn’t cure it <:sad:366743316475281408>

2018-12-26 06:20:55 UTC  

you can analyze your genome for free using third party tools

2018-12-26 06:21:04 UTC  

you just have to pay for the test

2018-12-26 06:21:17 UTC  

multiple of which are under $100

2018-12-26 06:21:26 UTC  

one of which is free, but takes forever

2018-12-26 06:21:30 UTC  

Ok I estimated the cost gosh

2018-12-26 06:21:37 UTC  

lol

2018-12-26 06:24:07 UTC  

I've been tested for genetic disorders before. It's unpleasant and I don't recommend it.

2018-12-26 06:24:23 UTC  

Also because you're told that you have a genetic disorder. I'll prefer being ignorant k thx

2018-12-26 06:24:45 UTC  

idk to me it sounds exciting

2018-12-26 06:27:24 UTC  

well think of it this way

2018-12-26 06:27:34 UTC  

right now I just assume the worst

2018-12-26 06:28:05 UTC  

so if I test myself, I'll either not find out anything new, or I'll be like "huh that's actually not that bad"

2018-12-26 06:30:30 UTC  

You must _really_ hate the ocean from the way you're talking

2018-12-26 06:38:22 UTC  

wait what does that mean?

2018-12-26 06:45:22 UTC  

I have skin diseases specific to Scandinavians but no one believes I’m Scandinavian

2018-12-26 06:47:05 UTC  

It means that if you're concerned with not knowing, I'd assume you'd hate being around something that is really deep and impossible to see into

2018-12-26 06:47:12 UTC  

such would be my guess

2018-12-26 06:52:30 UTC  

What?

2018-12-26 06:53:56 UTC  

Not sure what that means but I’ve never been afraid of knowing anything. That’s probably one thing we all have in common here.

2018-12-26 07:08:27 UTC  
2018-12-26 07:08:47 UTC  

idk I just assume most of the ocean is uninteresting stuff

2018-12-26 07:14:07 UTC  

On the surface the ocean is uninteresting unless the weather might kill you. If you have ever seen a relief map of the surface (such as are used by the Navy and mining companies) it's a whole new world.

2018-12-26 08:02:45 UTC  

Has anyone else had trouble making YouTube comments or is my phone just glitching our?

2018-12-26 14:22:34 UTC  

What is with Japan and whaling?

2018-12-26 14:24:01 UTC  

Anime, that is my answer.

2018-12-26 14:50:21 UTC  

Giant whale sushi, that is why

2018-12-26 15:10:02 UTC  

Do we have any erudite economists?
