the identity thing. as far as i see it’s usually white people who do this. to gain ethnic distinction?

if i had the power to do so, i’d give you a french passport right away.

maybe clearing this up: germany has a hereditary citizenship. i. e. children of germans can get a german passport.
being “german” means owning german citizenship (or citizenship of the one of the former constructs the federal republic sees as its precursors), not owning a set of genes. you can have no ‘distinct european genes’ (e.g. be ainu?) at all and get citizenship for your kids, as long as you have it. you can be “genetically german” and still don’t have a passport.
jus sanguinis usually isn’t genetically defined

“germans”, “french”, “danes” weren’t a thing. up until recently. they are genetically diverse groups.

there was a lot of movement (read: fucking around) in europe. what do these tests even mean by “dutch”?

did anyone ever get a passport because some lab result said they were 10% “genetically slovakian”?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 3 days ago:
by all means do.

their obsession with genome analysis / where one of their great-great-grandfathers came from.
“i am italian, german, polish, chinese and cree!” “no, you are us-citizen and don’t speak any language but english.”

dark matter is a stand in, not a known type of particle. astronomers realized, that in galaxies there had to be way more mass than is visible due to the movement of stars within. but since it couldn’t be detected in any other way than through its gravitational influence, it was called dark matter.
this person has given the best answer so far. there is no thing we could identify as dark matter. the concept of it is more like a roadmap, a question to be answered.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
it doesn’t. light hitting e.g. a helium atom is an electromagnetical interaction. if dark matter does only interact gravitationally, it wont get hit by light.

it surely is not trivial. but if your boss isn’t super whack he should know that. (he knows, you haven’t played it? the others are also noobs?)
but from my expierience, passing a few easy balls is easy enough to learn in a short while. not as a competetive game but as an activity. — i played with friends sometimes, as a kid. they were playing in a team, i started everytime almost from scratch.

- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 3 months ago:
being on a set is one of the least erotic situation to be in. it is work. in contrary, i’d ask how in the world people can perform in pr0n.

sorry missread that.
but yeah … one of the most embarassing thought i ever had was, “i wanna be a goth”. at a point at which i was already pretty much integrated in my local community of sorrows. i wanted to match my cool new friends. for the wrong reason.
i am embarassed of this bc at the time i thought it would be important to belong to group and be good at that. i was a little in love with the clichees.
do what you genuinly like and find people who you can share with. that’s all there is about subcultures. the rest follows. people who hang out a lot tend to converge in style and habit.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
usually subcultures form around music, games, movies … sounds like you found yours already? the festivals you go to certainly attract people you can connect with, no?

you shapeshift, but your state and society will periodically and randomly remind you, that they know, what shape you had earlier … wait, that does already exist. still superpower tho!
