And yeah, another thing is anthroforums are full of trend followers who think they’re non-conformists. Pathological contrarianism that just turns into groupthink. As a long time metal fan, I know this type all too well, since they ruin any metal venue they go to by making it about who has the...

Oh that has happened to me several times. Not with users I thought were nice, but some users I didn’t know much about. I had two users on ABF who were particularly bad for that. Follow me around and even bump up old posts from years ago to tell me off. It was insane. It’s like they can’t handle...

That. I laugh at the fact that they still believe « race » science that has been debunked a century ago.

Moving to Louisiana in July was one of the more boneheaded decisions I’ve ever made in my life. It’s so hot it’s like Satan’s Armpit down here! Actually, no, I like it, it’s just really damn hot. And humid!

Right? The problem is, if you’re a woman, almost anything is « disagreeable » to some people. And I have to laugh at the « can’t do science » comments, especially because my background is in science and I work in a scientific field. When I point that out I’ve been called an « affirmative...

Nonsense and why I don’t frequent these forums much. Trolling and low IQ culture war nonsense has ruined them.

Captain James Cook was the captain of this ship. This was his first job in the British Navy (and he failed). I guess it’s rather unfortunate for the indigenous peoples of Australia and New Zealand that my ancestor here didn’t kill him.

Don’t a lot of Mennonites in Mexico have a connection to Canada? I remember learning about a Mexican connection to Canadian Mennonites a few years ago.

And since I brought up the housing crisis that’s particularly acute in Nova Scotia, I heard on the radio today that the population growth of Nova Scotia during the pandemic was the highest in this province’s recorded history, meaning that it exceeded the population growth that coincided with the...

I predicted this cost of living crisis like 15 years ago. But successive governments (and I don’t just blame one political party, because the Conservatives were in power when I predicted this, and the Liberals are in now, so they both fucked up) just kept kicking the can down the road and now...

It’s pretty common knowledge that Acadians have Mi’kmaw ancestry since they were allies and trading partners. But yeah, my first degree is in Acadian history (wanted to be an archaeologist and the best way to get into that in Nova Scotia is to know about Acadian stuff, since all those...

And in peak irony, I just accepted a job in Louisiana. Because the Nova Scotia government’s policy during the pandemic of luring Toronto/Bay Street bankers with WFH jobs and entitled ass sickly Boomers here from Central and Western Canada drove the prices of everything necessary to sustain...

I will have to find the video again but Ozzy Osbourne’s mtDNA is T2a I believe Benjamin Franklin as well.

Yeah that’s some Anglo shit. I’m proud of my heritage. And yeah, I live in a pretty black community now and have black friends so, yeah I care about things my friends and neighbours care about. Because they’re my friends and neighbours.

No. I don’t care. I know what my background is. Weird question, and kind of insulting

My father’s Y-DNA haplogroup is J-P58 My mtDNA haplogroup is u5a2c

Oh, another thing you might find interesting: During the years the Acadians were in exile, many who remained around here resorted to crime to survive, and being a pirate (or privateer) was a good gig. There are many legends about pirates in Nova Scotia (Captain Kidd and Oak Island the most...

It’s surprising because the older kit I was like 87% French. The Irish and Scottish are not surprising because Scots from Barra settled in Acadian communities, as did Irish, because they were Catholic. I’m just glad I ain’t got any English in me lol. As for Indigenous Panama-Costa Rica, that’s...

My hacked results

Updated kit here's how it looks: Ancestry breakdown: I am genetically closest to Acadians from Eastern Nova Scotia (I am an Acadian, and I indeed grew up in Eastern Nova Scotia) Now this part of it is crazy, under migration patterns, it actually tracks with what my grandparents told me...
