Do what it says in the email and email arbitrationoptout@23andme.com that you do not agree with the new terms of service and opt out of arbitration.

/s and still at -6. Wow, Lemmy. I'm hoping the joke just went overhead.

Apparently my comment making fun of white supremacists wasn't taken well by the mods.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Either it went over people's heads or hit too close to home. I dunno.

Maybe the joke just wasn't funny

What joke? Jokes are supposed to at least try to be funny.

It was just another cynical explanation for the type of person to get a vanity dna test. Do people not realize that racial supremacists are getting these test and bragging if they like the results?
