I was really disappointed when I found out my parents had done it. I get the attraction; they wanted more specific info about their ancestral heritage. But they had no idea about the nasty side of these services. Back when they signed up, it wasn't widely known and I'm sure they didn't read all the fine print in the legal disclosures.

I used Wisdom Panel for my dogs, and that's as far as I'll go.

@Helical_Code
I see. I know that I'm never giving those services my genetic material, because you give up control of what they do with it and who they share the data with. Law enforcement databases, pharma companies, etc.

@ecksmc
This sounds familiar from this side of the pond, sadly.

@Helical_Code
I'm not sure I'm following you as to why. To prove or disprove as quickly as possible that the shooter had a genetic predisposition for mental or other illness?

@Qbae
No, that's not at all what I was doing. It really sounded to me like you were wishing that my friends would be dead also. I asked you directly to clarify that and you didn't.

I'm not twisting any narrative and I don't feel guilty. I'm sorry if my posts offended you.

Ah, I wasn't picking up what you were putting down. Apologies.

May surprise you that people who don't use politics to identify who they are as a person are on CoSo.

They are, though...

So many students I teach nowadays are obsessed with them.

"Deserves it! I dare say he does. Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be so eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the wise cannot see all ends.

I'm trying to put myself in your shoes with your experiences, and you know that I can't fully do that. All I can try to do is empathize the best I can.

But you're here telling me that some of my friends deserve to die. If that's what you really believe, then you've just made a friend into an enemy and we have nothing else to discuss.

@amarand
I'm not fully sure myself; that's for @th3j35t3r to decide.

I'm just picturing one of those aftermarket SNES gamepads you could get with turbo switches.

@Qbae
I'm very sorry to hear about the death of your friends, and I believe you may have spoken about that here before.

But as horrendous as the actions of those people were who killed your friends, that doesn't mean everybody who supports Trump is the same, is similarly violent, and deserve to die as a result.
