    Polynesians crossing the ocean by some chance is laughable as a serious theory. 🙄

      I wanted to watch this video but that voice stopped me after ten seconds!! What is it with this croakiness that women adopt when they’re speaking. It’s painful to listen to.

      It’s referred to as “talking fry” by speech therapists and voice coaches. More common among women, it is peak annoyance to most listeners.

    I am at the beginning of my “investment journey”, planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated….

      As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Kristine Lynn Weber is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

    • @DivaHarrison

      March 6, 2025 at 9:46 am

      I started investing with Kristine Lynn Weber last December with $50K. Last month, I hit my first $130K, and today, I have a solid $193K saved up The right investments can truly change your life. If things keep going well, I’ll be retiring soon. My only regret? Not starting sooner.

    • @AlbertEischted

      March 6, 2025 at 9:46 am

      Absolutely! I am at $4.25 mil. Biggest positions PLTR, TSLA, SCHD, NVDA,BTC and now looking to build up DRGO alongside finding quality value/growth stocks to buy like TORM. I got $48k divs last year in taxable divs. Q2 taxable divs this year was $17,388 this year. Don’t sell when the market is down. Having a skilled Financial counsellor that puts the time in to do in-depth research can be valuable in strategizing your portfolio.

    • @DivaHarrison

      March 6, 2025 at 9:46 am

      Without a doubt! Kristine Lynn Weber is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.

    Her vocal fry reminds me of that movie where the guy is buying coffee and asks the girl to speak normally.

    March 8, 2025 at 7:18 am

    This is so inspiring. I can’t imagine the bravery of the first people to set sail across the ocean on a wooden boat without electricity or fossil fuels for lands unknown. I’m glad the modern Hawaiians and Polynesians are keeping these skills alive and proving their oral traditions true. Mahalo

    On the surface, it seems impossible that our ancestors were able to do what they did without some of our modern day technology. I recently heard of a study that suggested humans also possess the ability to sense magnetic fields and were able to harness this sense much lthe same as other animals that migrate great distances. Much of our ancient abilities and knowledge has been lost over the centuries. Hopefully we will continue to uncover this lost knowledge and use it to better understand our relationship to the natural world.
