Because she's normal in the donor conceived community. I'm the extreme outlier in that we've only found us 2 so far. But none of us will ever know how many siblings we have. Nobody keeps accurate records, so it's all up to the luck of the draw of who decides to take a DNA test
I’m donor conceived and there’s only 6 or 7 of us known so far. All women, all with brown-frequently curly-hair. AFAIK my bio father decided in his late 30s-early 40s that he probably wasn’t going to get married or have kids so he thought he’d do something nice for people that wanted children. Seems like a chill dude. I’ll probably never meet him though because there’s really no need for me to. I love my parents (bio mom and “adoptive” dad) so I don’t feel like I’m “missing” a family member. I’ll be adopting children anyway, lmao. No need to track my DNA, it’s not going anywhere.
@@MyBeautifulHealth there was at least one case of a married couple with children finding out they were siblings through the same donor. they were....shocked. to say the least. it's a reason to have genetic testing before marriage or kids.
@lilyhendersonh Because he's actually really freaking smart. I've seen him on the "Downside" podcast and he talked about numbers just making sense to him. That's one of the reasons I followed him because numbers are like that for me too. Random talent that has no real use but still nice to find someone like me 😂
I found the in-video subtitles to be quite poor compared with other stand-up comedians’ videos on TH-cam (namely Gianmarco Soresi’s), as they were intermittent and only ever seemed to communicate the bits that were perfectly audible and never the bits that weren’t. 😕
Unfortunately, I think the subtitler couldn't understand or hear her either. Nor could I, with my 100% hearing. The only one I caught that the subtitles missed was when he asked how many siblings she met. She replied, "like 15".
As someone with auditory processing disorder, these subtitles make me feel like crying. Whenever there's subtitles in the actual video (not the player's subtitles in the settings) I tend to assume they're ACTUAL subtitles and not autogen... and so I assume I get to know what's being said. If they were actually autogen like @neutralweird said, they really may as well have not done it at all. They could have just used normal youtube autogen and not gotten my hopes up 😭
They vet them for genetic conditions, certain undesirable physical traits (there’s a height minimum for example), predispositions to conditions like cancer or diabetes, and I believe criminal record, but they don’t vet politics, and I doubt they vet for the number of times previously donated.
Not really. Most clinics say they only use a donor for a specific amount of families but they aren’t legally required to stick to that limit at a federal level in the US so it’s common for clinics to ignore it if that donor’s sperm sells well. And even if they did stick to the limit, the donor can easily just go to a different clinic once he meets the limit for the first one. Plus stuff gets more complicated when you take into account that donors can donate internationally as well. They’re also not legally required to verify medical history. So lots of donors lie about that stuff in order for their sperm to be accepted. And even if they were honest about it, if they develop medical conditions later on, the clinics aren’t required to get that information to the recipient parent(s) or donor convinced person. (Fertility clinics shouldn’t get to determine who is medically fit to donate because that can very easily slide into full blown eugenics territory really fast, but accurate, up to date medical history absolutely needs to be readily available so recipient parents can make informed choices when choosing donors and so the donor conceived person can get appropriate treatment for any conditions that may have been passed down to them) Sperm and egg donation is a great thing but it really should not be something people are payed to do because it incentivizes people to do it for the wrong reasons. And having donors be known from birth should be the standard for the safety of the donor conceived people. Donor conceived people have died due to the donor’s “right to privacy” being prioritized over the lives of donor conceived people who, just as a reminder, have zero control over how they are conceived. I strongly recommend watching Laura High’s content. She’s a donor conceived person and advocate who works with other donor conceived people, recipient parents, donors, people working in the fertility industry, and others to make the fertility industry safer for everyone. Her podcast is great and she posts a ton of short form content on TikTok as well if that’s more your speed :)
the way he said it, i thought he was like just throwing it out there as a random no. i literally pulled out a calculator to check. that was very impressive.
A lot of people who are good at mental math break it down into easier equations to solve quicker. He probably did 54/2, which could be broken down into (40/2) + (14/2), then moved the decimal point back to the correct place.
Wait, wouldn't that require every unique marriage to result in a half a dozen kids each? Surely, most people who go through multiple marriages don't tend to have a handful of kids every time, even into their third and fourth change of spouses. I definitely think that, culturally speaking, that would be incredibly rare and highly improbable, but I have a feeling it just doesn't add up at all. I mean, okay let's do the actual math. With a total of 8 marriages between them (4 ex husbands + 3 ex wives + their marriage together; assuming that the husband isn't constantly also having children out of wedlock alongside his pregnant wife) that would mean seven (7) new kids per relationship up until they met one another and settled on just six (6). Even expanding the definition of sibling to include all half-siblings and quarter siblings, unless both parents are consistently marrying into families that are 5 to 8 children strong, adopting those kids as their own so they're at LEAST close enough for this girl to refer to as sibling, you're still looking at three kids PER marriage. And if the ex's in question already have 2+ children from a past marriage, I'd say the chances of them taking on additional responsibility in the form of full or even majority custody is seriously reduced. (Considering that men only request full or primary custody in under 20% of court room cases). Oh, and if you thought **I** took this proposed hypothetical too seriously, I ran my logic past my mathematician brother, and he ended up giving me an indepth break down to determine the exact number of children all parties would have to bring to the marriage, the time/ages it would involve and the relationship between all parties. His "solution" btw for how to get to 55 siblings cut across 8 different marriages was that the wife's marriages are almost irrelevant to the question since the most likely way to realistically get to that many siblings would be for the father to constantly be engaging in extramarital affairs. It's not EXACTLY guessing that they were born from a sperm donor, but given the information he was working with, he came fairly close I'd say! Ultimately he put it as highly improbable, though not impossible, for 8 different marriages to end with a genetic family of 55 kids. Especially with time restraints based on the fact that it would only be possible for them to produce 2.5 new babies a year as that would require the mom to be pregnant for 22 years continuously (27 if you give the poor women some reprise and lower it to each individual marriage producing a single infant every year) at MINIMUM, which leads back to the problem with the relationship and pregnancy overlap. For me, personally, the idea that just because people (esp. women, but true for all demographics) now have more access to divorce and are no longer at the very least LEGALLY compelled to stay married is more than likely not going to result in such huge, sprawling families. Part of that is as easy as pointing out that the people most likely to have a large number of children these days consider themselves more traditional, which includes their views on marriage and divorce. A sort of self selecting bias when it comes to who is likely to have hordes of children vs who'd rather.... Not.
I think it wasn't a condemnation of firearm safety in general, just as there is nothing inherently wrong with being a Texan, and truly I doubt that she's disgusted by every individual employee at Texas A&M. It was more about what those things tend to indicate when found all together in one person, and that person is a Trump voter. Also, generally speaking as someone who lived in the south for years, while "gun coach" and "firearm safety instructor" and even "firearms self defense trainer" basically break down to be the same jobs, the title people use tends to say a lot about them. At least he's not one of those self defense trainers.

Math is a language. If you speak it often you speak it well and don’t have to take as long to come up with the right words.

I think its automatic subtitles so the bot wont subtitle what it cant discern.
