Good write-up and you've made plenty of fair points. It's a tricky topic and I'm personally weary of the business for their Mormon connections and plenty of other reasons. Safer to avoid them altogether to prevent a potential 23andMe scenario.

I believe this is innacurate. Do you have proof that ancestry is currently owned by the Mormon church?

Wiki says Ancestry is owned by GIC Private Limited and The Blackstone Group since 2021.

I know the Mormon company has their greedy little tentacles in many businesses so I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow are connected with Ancestry but I'd need to see that first.

Tangent - Fuck that business (LDS Church) that masquerades as a religion.

Is this a rhetorical question? Or does this comes down to perspective? For the latter I would explain it as me seeing contempt from this person's messaging around their partner seeming OK with not achieving things she defines as important. She then takes, what I would consider a personal conversation, to social media for what I can only assume is support from like-minded people to validate her.

TL;DR the premise itself is belittling

What I read: I require external validation instead of finding it from within.

Realistically all these achievements mean nothing when you die and are forgotten. It doesn't necessarily invalidate the work and accomplishments but I'd argue it doesn't give an individual the "higher ground" to belittle a partner on social media; they may not value it the same.

Maybe it's the anabolic steroids RFK claims he takes. Steroids can cause flushing in the face.

Oh sorry, I meant TRT and totally not steroids /s

I just checked for any bans and yup, apparently so. Four days ago I was banned from privacy@lemmy.ml and the only reason given was "rule 4" whatever the ass that means. I haven't commented on that instance in 9 months so I'm not sure what triggered it.

This is what I use now after I lost my phone and couldn't find it

• Is this written by an alien?

In the beginning of the video she explains this isn't for everyone. Throughout the video she discusses tradeoffs. Seems pretty clear she understands the difficulty of this.

• Do you not have family you call, or a job?

Once again, this was explained in the video. WiFi is everywhere these days and there are people who don't leave home often. These are simply tradeoffs some folks might be willing to make. It really depends on an individual level and cons of this approach were made clear in the video.

• This is the stuff that makes the privacy community look like a joke

Good thing you don't speak for the entire community and this is just an opinion. This video details possibilities and can be fun to learn new things from. Seems oddly aggressive, to me, to say this over a simple video.

• This is not realistic.

Speak for yourself. People lived without phones for many years. Doesn't seem too far fetched to live with WiFi only connectivity. Once again, tradeoffs.

Do you still have a link or copy of the movie? I already liked the original but this sounds better. I don't use reddit anymore so going there to contact the guy probably won't work.
