I am instilling in mine 1) a deeply-held belief that their worth is entirely measured by their income, and 2) the unarguable truth that each generation must ensure the comfort and well-being of their parents.
I call it my pension plan.
Is it a Tesla?
It’s not misspelled at all you cheeky fucker. It’s my real name (this is a lie) and is an anglicalisation of Hasenpfeffer.
Well, we call them broad beans. And a nice chianti.
Er.

Many years ago I started work for a localisation company.
I was sitting in the break room having a coffee when a few of the French translators came in.
My French was a bit rusty but good enough that I realised they were talking about ‘the new guy’, ie me.
One of them said she thought I was a bit weird.
Another said she thought I was quite good-looking, a statement which the third vehemently disagreed with.
I let this carry on for a couple more minutes before washing up my coffee mug and preparing to get back to work. I paused in the doorway and said in French: “It’s true, I am a bit weird!”
As I walked down the corridor there was a moment or two of silence behind me and then they burst out laughing.

I like mountains fine but the sea calms my soul like nothing else.
Physically not so much but I just got more confidence.
In my 30s I somehow became attractive to women and got laid a lot.
‘magick’ was used by the Golden Dawn (including Alaister Crowley and MacGregor Mathers etc), and others to differentiate from stage magic.
Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.
What’s New Pussycat, 21 times in a row.
It wasn’t an argument it was a haranguing.
If you build it, they will porn.
I knew Douglas Adams was wrong!
You maniac! Always drop to Mater and Pater before you go Mother and Father!
