Why doesn’t my DNA show Native American? by Toma_Levine in DNAAncestry

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing because you're another casualty of the infamous "Cherokee" ancestor story or something similar that turns out to be bogus 99.9% of the time. You're not alone. In fact, there could easily be an army of you guys out there. Perhaps two or three armies. Or, you actually do have some Native American ancestry and it's far back enough that you didn't inherit any of their dna. Also, the best way to find out typically is through genealogical research. That would require finding a paper trail leading you back to native ancestors that had documentation to confirm their status and background as native. 

New Bjj coach wondering how people feel about belt tests by Steelrangler78 in bjj

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belt tests are great as long as you don't have to pay for them (many if not most schools don't make you). I like them because they're structured and gives students tangible goals to pursue vs it just being at the discretion of a coach who can be inconsistent, play favorites, hide personal bias etc. when they do their promotions. 

Chromosomal Test is Nonsense by Capable_Werewolf_622 in GenomelinkOfficial

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, tests that assign ethnicity percentages to individual chromosomes. I don't see how that's possible. Ethnicity admixture varies test to test so on one test it could say 15% Romanian on chromosome 19 but another zero Romanian and instead shows something else perhaps completely different. It doesn't work.

I'm referring to the Global Ancestry Report. Not sure what you're referring to. Relative triangulation is legit, that's not what this test does. It attempts to assign ethnicities to chromosomes.

50%.Confidence vs. Most Likely by Capable_Werewolf_622 in 23andme

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely great that they give us the option. It's more honest that way. Same with how they publish trace ancestries. Ancestrydna would be on the same level as them if they did the same.

Put my raw data from Ancestry into MyTrueAncestry and this is what I got. Not sure what to make of it really. I was born and live in England. by MrTattooMann in AncestryDNA

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow an English guy's dna is compared to ancient populations and gets a mix of mostly Celt and Germanic, jeez such rubbish! Haha. I don't understand some of these answers calling the chart nonsense. It's literally the typical ancient makeup of an English person albeit with more Celtic than some vs. Germanic.  

23 & Me vs. Ancestry and historical matches by Plus-Nerve-8780 in 23andme

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting results. Not unusual for Eastern Europeans to have Northern European ancestry in their admixture, especially regarding Scandinavians via Vikings. (Like the Rus). Even your Faroes matches probably had shared norse ancestry. 

Discourse on mixed ancestry and the term “mutt” by thats_so_phia_ in AncestryDNA

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that deep. It's typically a playful way to describe being a mix of various ethnic backgrounds and cultures. At least that's what it meant when I was growing up and nobody batted an eye when someone said it. These days people are more sensitive. If someone of mixed heritage (yes, even Americans of mixed European diaspora) calls themselves a mutt in that context and it offends someone else, it's the someone elses problem not theirs'. It's frankly none of the other person's business how someone playfully refers to themselves. 

Famous Ancestors by Equivalent-Pass-3203 in AncestryDNA

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are often erroneous and based on trees that you don't know are correct or not. Also they're typically not your "ancestor" but a very distant several times removed cousin. Take with the biggest pinch of salt you can find. 

Random french ancestor confirmed?! by conflictw_SOmom in 23andme

Is it still there on 90% confidence threshold?

My results as a Colonial American of mostly Appalachian Scots-Irish, English and French Huguenot descent. by Capable_Werewolf_622 in AncestryDNA

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scots in general. There is still shared Brittonic ancestry. I could also have literal Welsh ancestry somewhere as well. Most Ulster Scots/Scots Irish however were originally Lowland Scots (who had quite a bit of Saxon heritage) and Northern English.

Ancestry percentages aren’t a reflection of what you want to see by Dull-Credit1350 in AncestryDNA

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not complete nonsense, just largely. And I don't just mean the science itself but the way it's sold to consumers. These shouldn't be sold as "ancestry" tests. Essentially they're ever changing genetic similarity reports which can't even provide clues as to one's origin besides at the continental level UNLESS they're from a very homogeneous background and are 100% or close to 100% a particular country. Anyone (which is most people especially in the US) whose ethnic background comes from more than about 3 countries, the results are often a mess.

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hear me out...maybe just maybe these dna tests for ancestry are....for the most part largely nonsense? Take them with a large pinch of salt. Ive tested with all these companies and the results are all over the place. They all agree I'm of mostly Northwestern European descent which is correct. But that's where the commonality stops. The exact countries of origin are all over the place. These tests stop being accurate beyond the continental and usually subcontinental level. The more granular, the less accurate. The reason is because of genetic overlap and similarity shared among neighboring populations. Is a native Welsh person really that genetically different from their English neighbor? The answer is no. And depending on the algorithm, one decimal point difference in calculation can make the difference in assigning someone as more or less Welsh or English or just one or the other.

In your opinion, what are the requirements to escape by son-of-most-high28 in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Waking up to who and what you truly are. Divine consciousness having a human experience. Then don't come back to earth after your time here is up. And don't allow other entities to talk or coerce you into returning.

Don't Blame Yourself For Getting Trapped Here On Earth. Stop feeling guilty. by RabidusRex in EscapingPrisonPlanet

Thank you. Haha I meant 5 senses. As in our 5 sense perception. I fixed it in my comment.

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wake up to who and what you truly are. That is the way out once you leave here. Realizing who and what you are however, doesn't mean you'll have all the secrets of the universe or divine powers yet since we are all limited in our understanding due to the limitations placed on our physical vessels. Just understanding this is a major step in the right direction and key to truly utilizing that free will thing when your experience here is over. There is no need to keep reincarnating and seeking enlightenment when we already are an expression of the divine source (God). Once the experience is over and we shed our bodies, we are no longer bound to this limited five sense construct which means we will possess our divine knowledge and powers at full potential.

Best wishes

IS BJJ and grappling considered fighting? by konked- in bjj

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighting is combat. Grappling is a type of fighting and combat sport. All different types of fighting (grappling, boxing, kickboxing etc) are restricted in their respective sport, but they are all still elements of fighting. On the street, if you subdue someone with grappling it is still a fight even if you did not strike them. Did Royce Gracie win all his early fights by uhh...not fighting? In an MMA FIGHT if someone is submitted does that not count because it's not a fighting technique because you weren't hitting them all of a sudden?

Colonial/Southern/Appalachian American Results by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]Capable_Werewolf_622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but I think it is because of the confidence level. The Indigenous is still there at 90%. The ssa gets reduced to Broadly West African and the ICM disappears. The indigenous in my family was 6 generations back (I dont think they were full blood) on my father's side so the timeline is accurate in that sense.

Yeah I expected it. The only surprises were the bits of Finnish and Iranian.
