I'm sure you're right but I just don't care. It looks fucking awesome, and I am into it.

Also, this kind of think largely depends on the tone of the film, for me. With something like, say, the Daniel Craig James Bond films, really unrealistic, OTT, just-for-show stuff stands out more, because the films are trying to be a little more realistic - or at least pass for realistic.

But in something like Star Wars, which is fantastical by design, and involves ~space magic~, I'm a lot more willing to just go with it. If it looks cool and keeps me engaged, I'm down.

I don’t get the hype of geneaology kits. I’m not white.

Bled through my underwear. :( Went to the doctor to see if we can find out why I am tired all the time. Have to get blood work done tomorrow.

Lets see. We had a big storm hit last night. With hail. So I barely slept. I've been walking around like a zombie all day. Lots of work. Trying to get everything done this week before I go away. Then got my lair done. Ate pho and mint chocolate chip ice cream for dinner. Played with my cat. Probably going to bed in a few minutes.

I thought the same thing, also not white.

On the other hand I can see why people who grow up as just "white," especially "white American," are interested in exactly what particular kind of white they are. Most but not all POC and immigrants know where they came from and what their ancestral home countries are and can point to a place (a notable exception being black Americans descended from slaves), but many "white Americans" with no recent immigrants in their family tree don't have or know that for sure. I've seen lots of African-Americans with slave ancestry also very interested in knowing exactly where their ancestors came from.

I'd probably be curious too, if I didn't already know.

I looked up the post to see if I was misremembering ‘cause hoodie placement makes more sense than hoodie color, but he wrote that Ben wore five different hoodies during the course of the show.

I didn't use a kit. I traced documents. Census notes and Chruch records, which are a bitch to read from 1840s Scotland lemme tell you.

I’m not white either, but I kinda get the hype ‘cause, while I know where my family’s from, I’d like to know if my ancestors from way back came from either Spain or France or somewhere else entirely.

Same anon

Not to imply that ayebydan is American, btw. I just comment on it because I've seen the genealogy thing gaining popularity here in the US.

It is curious to me that you all asume I am white American.

I am white Scottish and mostly we wish to seek out whether we are traditional Scots speakers ie from the lowlands or gaelic speakers from the more northern regions. Many Scots are decended from Irish families who fled the famine ( I know I am on my bio sides) but then where the rest of our family fled and if we have cousins is cool to know.

We found once removed cousins in New York in our last drive at it. We get on great now.

Trust me, I am with you on the white Americans coming here and going 'I am Scottish cause in 16XY My X did Z' and I am like uhhuh. But it is my great grandparents that are Irish so that is a strong connection for me.

I don't want to trace my dna because I think that is unreliable crap tbh

It's a sitcom created by a 90-something year old guy who made his mark creating and producing unsubtle issues oriented sitcoms. What did you expect? I'm sure that show was more nuanced than the original and the other shows he did in the 1970s.

I didn't, though...

Oooh that is a pretty notable thing. Seems you were made of hardy stuff. That or sheer dumb luck as it were. Not that my ancestors could do much about the South of England but sorry you guys were forced out either way XD

You said that after. Yours and the other comments at first seemed to suggest you all thought I was. My bad.

I got enough information from research other people did to get the broad strokes (paternal grandparents came from Irish dirt farmers, maternal grandparents came from upper class New York / New Jersey) and I don't really feel the detail to go into that much more detail.

Re: genealogy

(Anonymous) 2019-04-19 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. The original anon was commenting on the popularity of geneaology kits, I was only trying to give perspective of why they're taking off around here.

The good thing about those nations is that Catholic churches always kept really close and good records so if you cross nations there might be a language barrier but if it is an interest the records should be there.

Ach, bad times. :( Hope Dr can get a result for you and a solution more importantly. :)

Eh, at least she's allowed to look angry and tough. I'd much rather this than the comic book fight poses that are actually just boobs and butt.

Same.

Also, my great great great great great grandfather ran for vice president once. But he lost.

It can be separate, but I think there's a lot of people who do meta solely to push their view of shipping. I don't really mind this - it's easy to ignore - until it gets into RPF and then you get things like that hockey fan declaring that a player couldn't have been a rapist IRL because she doesn't write him that way.

Hopefully, it sucks not having energy to do anything. She said it might be my iron because I am also cold constantly.
