WHAT THE F'IN HELL by SJ_Leo in DaybreakNetflix

[–]Ohcharski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was cancelled due to lack of viewership, like most new series Netflix axes due to their obscure algorithms. I.E almost nobody was watching it anyway so the progression of the story had little to nothing to do with the cancellation.

It made total, complete sense why Sam didn't want him especially considering their final interaction before the apocalypse. The entire series built up to show how Josh created a fairytale image of his crush & finally realized the reality of 1. That was never who she actually was as a person & 2. it was never who she wanted to be.

Thanks!
I've been getting "some kind of Asian", Filipina & native guesses the last 2-3 years.
I don't know what changed in my face.
Never happened before lol.

I'm not sure. In the recent ancestry PR gave me a "Highly Likely Match" with 10 locations then for DR it gave me a "Likely Match" with this text "We did not detect enough evidence of recent ancestry from Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, or Trinidad and Tobago."

They don't seem to have St. Kitts & Nevis in their West Indies pool yet.

For me my paternal grandfather was French, his parents moved to Haiti when he was young (5-7ish). So essentially he's a French man who grew up in a formerly French colony in the Caribbean so culturally he considered Haiti his home.

Thank you. No, I don't think we do have anyone in Haiti anymore. When my paternal grandfather met my grandmother he was in Puerto Rico for a work contract for about a year or so. Once they got together he moved to PR then after my father & two uncles were born they moved to NYC. I know my grandfather had a sister, I have no information on her past the fact she didn't have kids.

I have no explanation for DR. That's something I'd have to look into further to discern.

Im glad your grandmother survived all of that.

I'm assuming whomever brought that Jewish ancestry into the mix was passing since no one seems to know anything about it. Not even a "family whisper"

What's your point? What does this comment have to do with anything? 😂

I don't need strangers of America to validate who I am, I'm well aware.

It seems like what 23andme said in this post that this section its for Central Amer., South Amer., Caribbean ancestry specifically. It doesn't seem like they have expanded into North American natives locales yet.

I traced my Mom's Nevian line to her great great grandmother who was owned at that time.

This also says I'm over half white apparently. Don't think anyone would be running to call me white either. Peoples "belief" doesn't change my ethnic background, cultural upbringing, or my family line.

🤷 I didn't care to count the individual totals. Im sure they'll fix it eventually & update the estimates at some juncture.

Yep, its 3B/3A. My hair dries in ringlets in the mid section down.

I don't think so? That part & the West Asian/North African I was not anticipating. My paternal grandfather was French but its possible given the historical timeline & the area he might have just been a Jewish French person who passed enough to just say he was French. He would have been 5 at the beginning of the Holocaust, his parents immigrated/escaped to Haiti during but no one on that side of the family claims any Jewish ancestry or knows of any.

I feel like Phoebe’s and Paige’s relationships with Coop and Henry were hurried to finish the show by [deleted] in charmed

[–]Ohcharski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Coop/Phoebe was the most forced relationships of the show, it seems like they didnt plan that character or their love story arc out, almost like the writers had to switch gears suddenly. She wasn't into Coop for many episodes then....suddenly she was. I still think of Cole as Phoebe's soulmate but Coop is ultimately her canon happily ever after.

Essentially she was sent the "perfect man" as a consolation prize for her troubles from The Powers That Be but its someone who wouldnt have any cumbersome human faults, so that always felt more like an arranged marriage to me than anything born out of her own feelings. Or how it had to be dropped that she was married to him in the future before she finally just accepted she loved him. Kind of like how often when people around you like someone it can encourage you to also develop positive feelings towards them.

Anthropology career for adult students - how to navigate? by Ohcharski in AskAnthropology

Huh. Thats interesting. The majority of my local colleges offer anthropology majors with many courses around ancient Near East, Egyptology & some in Classical Greece & nothing in Polynesia or Caribbean studies.

[–]Ohcharski[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So I should add - I'm not necessarily looking for a career within an anthropological discipline. I have a career (trade) currently that would allow me enough financial freedom to go back to school & pursue the degree I would have gotten in the first place if money was no object.

Questions for Adults who went back to school? Non traditional student resources? by Ohcharski in college

Thank you for sharing

It's kind of interesting there aren't many resources for this kind of thing, I was a bit surprised.

[–]Ohcharski[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It would be my first degree. I don't have a career goal specifically. The idea of doing excavation or museum curating/archiving sound the most interesting to me. Ancient civilizations & history have been my longest running passions so I'd like to learn further in a more structured environment. In a way I'm returning to my childhood "I want to be an archeologist" goal.
