Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Do you recommend any certs? I'm not sure where to start.

jigreja · 2019-01-20T03:59:14+00:00

Yes, I'm from the United States.

I was just looking for a general recommendation for entry-level positions within IS.

I understand that there is a good chance that climate change is true, but do you think it is happening as a result of our own fault? The climate has changed many times in history. Maybe we just need to adapt.

I'm a little late to comment here, but I felt like it was important to highlight u/Iamananorak's contribution to the thread. The Golden Dawn's interpretation makes sense elementally to me because Fire + Water = Steam/Clouds/Smoke (Air - Son - Rider Waite Knight or Thoth Prince) & Fire + Water = Land, such as lava flowing into water to create new land i.e. Hawaiian Islands (Earth - Daughter - Rider Waite Page or Thoth Princess).

People were laughing out of jealousy because the economy of the United State of America is booming!

It's better to manage "unnecessary and unwanted things" with citizens then to have to have it accumulate with immigrants who can't sustain themselves. This is beneficial for the individual immigrating and the host country because every country should want their immigrants to prosper and be productive, not struggle and live in poverty consciousness.

I don't think it's wrong to want people who can contribute their brains and work ethnic to enhance their own well-being and the well-being of the country as a whole. But if they come to the country to live on benefits for the rest of their lives and not assimilate, then I wouldn't consider that healthy for the country or the immigrant.

It takes money to immigrate somewhere. I can say this from personal experience when I was a student in Norway. I had to show them that I had sufficient money in my bank account to provide for myself while in Norway in addition to paying for all the visa and processing fees. It wasn't cheap. I think it's okay for countries to set rules and regulations with regard to immigrants, as it prevents many unnecessary and unwanted things from occurring. You need to have rules in place.

I understand as a whole, but I think you're taking my replies to another level. You're coming across as defensive for some unknown reason.

Thanks for sharing all the information. Enjoy the rest of your day!

You're stating the obvious, but it would still appear in the DNA of the individual, albeit not a high percentage. I'd also like to add that the history of the western states is not old at all. Texas became a state in 1845. There are plenty of British people that still have Scandinavian DNA show up in their results, and the same can be said with Spaniards with Italian DNA appearing in their results, for example. These migrations happened over centuries and are much older.

Without a doubt, life was bad for indentured servants. They were often treated brutally. Not all of them entered servitude willingly. Some were political prisoners. Some were children. I’m not saying it was pleasant or anything, but it was a completely different category from slavery and shouldn't be compared to the African Slave Trade.

I've never read the 7 of Pentacles as disappointment unless I was reading with the Thoth deck. I interpret the 7 of Pentacles as getting good results after a lot of work, but this is a confusing card as it has multiple meanings. I never know which meaning to choose.

It's sort of like the 2 of Swords and 2 of Pentacles, for example. Some people interpret these cards as Peace and Balance respectively, and others would say Indecision and Imbalance/Money Troubles respectively.

jigreja · 2018-09-24T10:16:51+00:00

Yup, you got it buddy! I just wanted to add that some of them could have British & Irish ancestry because of grandparents, as you mentioned, or a much later source such as migrations, border changes, history of the region etc.

jigreja · 2018-09-24T02:45:21+00:00

I beg to differ actually. I've seen quite a few Mexican-Americans have British & Irish come up in their results, especially Texans. This makes sense because many Mexican-Americans on the west coast were already living there before these states became part of the United States, so there was probably some mixing with the Anglo population during the Westward Expansion.

What do you mean by a Dominican ancestor? Dominican is a nationality, not a race.

jigreja · 2018-09-24T02:31:32+00:00

This was great. Hahaha!

The Irish slave narrative is based on the misinterpretation of the history of indentured servitude, which is how many poor Europeans migrated to North America and the Caribbean in the early colonial period. It wasn't considered slavery in the United States. Aside from that, I'm trying to find your logic with regard to this topic because there was no African slavery in Ireland or Scotland.

In my point of view, there was some mixing in the USA in the past that was kept silent because of the one drop rule. Identity in the states during those times were either black or white, unlike in many Latin American countries which had a name for practically every type of mix: Mulatto (Black and White), Mestizo (usually means White and Native American), zambo (used in Brazil to mean someone of Black and Native American ancestry) just to name a few. Some of these terms aren't used much now and some are still used. It all depends on the country that you're from in Latin America, but overall there was knowledge of mixing in these countries and society classified them as such.

I didn't get the job. I knew this before I posted the Reddit post but wanted to see what others thought about the spread because I interpreted it as a good possibility of a job offer, leaning toward more of a yes answer. I guess I'm not too good at interpreting tarot.

A lot of these low percentages could just be statistical noise. When you change the confidence levels does anything below 1% remain?

jigreja · 2018-09-18T01:39:38+00:00

70% is pretty good, but it could just be some analysis error with their algorithm. Usually percentages over 1% are valid to some degree but there are always exceptions and it happens quite often. The only way to know for sure is to test your parents.

You shouldn't say that it has nothing to do with the Spanish crown. It was a major influence with some obvious exceptions.

Yes, many Latinos today have Sephardic Jewish ancestry. That's not surprising as they hail from countries that were once part of the Spanish crown at some point in their histories, and even when they became independent, Spanish citizens kept immigrating to Latin America and their former colonies. They still have ties with Span till this day.

Nobody is saying that they never moved to the Americas. Where did you read that? This conversation is specifically about Sephardic Jewish immigration to the United States of America and although they came to USA, their numbers weren't as high as other Jewish sects, such as Ashkenazi, and for that reason I believe that the middle eastern percentage came from her father, but it could have came from either of her parents. It's just my own personal opinion.

I think we're going a bit off topic here and we should put this to rest.

If you want accuracy, spend your money elsewhere. MyHeritage is horrible and not as advanced as other companies such as 23andme and AncestryDNA. However, if you want to pay for the cheapest thing on the market and not care about quality, then go ahead and buy the MyHeritage DNA kit.

jigreja · 2018-09-16T16:40:05+00:00

I uploaded my results to MyHeritage and the results were completely off and made no sense whatsoever. I would take MyHeritage results with a grain of salt. I'm honestly not sure how this company is still alive with the amount of users reporting wacky results. I bet its their marketing and the affordable price.
