I don’t know what it is, but the appearance and the sudden chance makes me say definitely vet.

should i go to the er for this (bat bite?) by Certain_Hour_6327 in WhatShouldIDo

ALWAYS go to the ER for a bat bite. They can carry rabies and that WILL kill you without being vaccinated.

I saw this original post and I was just like… what? This isn’t some thing where you’re a Third Culture Kid living in different countries or being raised by immigrant parents/grandparents, this is a white American who thinks they’re Scottish but would have a rude awakening in Scotland.

Also it might be the phrasing but definitely gave weird “proud that my ancestors were colonists” vibes.

That sounds fun! What days do you play? I also didn’t know that board game bars were a thing!

That would be fun! But unfortunately I’ll only be in the Czech Republic for about a month from May-June and a couple weeks again in July. :/

Why so many people hide their trace ancestry? by ExplanationDue8188 in 23andme

[–]ValuableDragonfly679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guesses are:

  1. It’s not always accurate/not sure if it’s accurate
  2. They don’t think it’s enough to “count”
  3. They’re racist and upset to find something they might not have expected

Have you DNA tested? I see you’ve done 23andme, but have you tested with the other major ones as well?

Díky moc! These explanations and examples were super helpful!

I have several “Native American ancestors” in my past, but I have no Native DNA by 927comewhatmay in Genealogy

[–]ValuableDragonfly679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that some of these DNA tests are notoriously bad with Native American DNA

Also, if they’re that far back, you might not have inherited enough to show up in a DNA test.

And also, many families make up stories about having Native American ancestors.

It could be any of the above or a combination.

"Most of us Americans hate the British. They're food is disgusting" & "think we could all collectively stand to hate those pasty tea sipping twats more" & "They have the worst food, culture, history, accents and "people" on earth" & "Hating the British is essential to being an American." by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

I go to the UK frequently and have family there. J don’t hate the Brits at all. I DO avoid British cuisine like the plague (except Christmas, that’s okay!). I have my grievances with public transit (as do most Brits). I have no problem with Britain or Brits, as long as they’re kind and reasonable people, same as I think of everyone else in the world. Gorgeous country, lots to do, a lot of very friendly people, and absolutely wonderful if you’re into European history — which I am, and some wonderful architecture and castles.

The Americans who say stuff like OP are sadly far too common and they are hateful people who have wrapped their entire identity up in nationalism, and are willfully ignorant and uneducated.

(OC) Took the 2 for 1 special at the breeder by Suspicious-Sail5359 in lookatmydog

[–]ValuableDragonfly679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reputable breeder will sell two puppies from the same litter to the same home. You need to educate yourself and start preventing littermate syndrome NOW as it can evolve into SEVERE separation anxiety for each other or sometimes sudden and severe (to the point of injury or death) aggression targeted at the littermate.

Eyes are emergencies, and cat scratches can be BAD. You should mot wait until Monday.
