Yeah, being adopted gives me yet another advantage over you breeder types. ⛧ I
run into many situations where people talk about (dark) intra- and
inter-generational patterns in their families. If/when they ask me, I get to
bail on the whole conversation ... or participate with no skin in the game. I
can't imagine surrendering that privilege by hunting down my birth parents.
Yuck. It's my own personal version of the Rawlsian veil. What are the chances
the situation on the other side of the veil is better than it is on this side?
Low, low, low.
[⛧] As well as being wise enough *not* to send my DNA to services like Ancestry or
23andMe

Renee's toast, though, because her sisters did it! If/when she decides to murder
some frat boys, they'll catch her for sure. Of course, the PI for the RCT I was on,
and the drug company he worked for, have my biosample(s) buried at the back of some
fridge somewhere. Can the cops get to it? Let's hope not, but prolly yes.

There is certainly no end of naive interpretation of statistics in our popular
descriptions of just about anything... unto superstition. I know many people
who very literally get very squirmy when they approach the age that their
same-sex parent died... especially if it was some genetically influenced thing,
but it could even have been a car-accident?!
