It is the only way I would accept a remake of my favorite, which is the Princess Bride.

Aah now I wanna watch that movie.

Isn’t he 26? He’s not old enough.

I’m a super white lady living in a pretty multicultural area. Sadly I feel like I mostly experience the opposite here from my non-white friends. Those with names from their ancestral culture (is that a good way to put it? Not sure) either ignore our mispronunciations or simply adopt western names. I had a coworker from Shanghai whose name I always said wrong because of the inflection. It makes me sad that they kind of give up trying to teach people to pronounce their names correctly, but at the same time, I get it. It’s a lot of constant work and some of us white people, or other non-whites from different cultures, just aren’t going to try or see why it’s important. I probably wouldn’t force the issue either if it were me, but man, what a constant way to feel othered.

My best friend in the third grade went shopping with her mom and later saw something they bought in her brother’s Easter basket. She told me about her suspicions and it wasn’t hard to make the leap to Santa too.

Man none of my dreams ever make sense. They’re not usually true nightmares, but occasionally. They’re never fun or relaxing, they’re always a little bit WTF, but somehow my brain still tells me, yeah sure, this is all real! And then I wake up confused. Always been that way. I’m jealous of people who have nice dreams. I’d rather have none at all rather than the junk my brain throws at me.

41 and had to look it up. My parents watched that show though! I remember that they watched it but nothing else about it.

That’s funny; my thigh hair is so thin I don’t even bother, even in the summer. Meanwhile my calf hair is darker and more obvious so that’s what I shave.

It’s an old ass instrument so it had the name long before tape recorders. As for other kind of recording, Wikipedia says:

The instrument name recorder derives from the Latin recordārī (to call to mind, remember, recollect), by way of Middle-French recorder(before 1349; to remember, to learn by heart, repeat, relate, recite, play music) and its derivative recordeur (c. 1395; one who retells, a minstrel). The association between the various, seemingly-disparate, meanings of recorder can be attributed to the role of the medieval jongleur in learning poems by heart and later reciting them, sometimes with musical accompaniment.

Windex007 is right; breastfeeding is how many new moms lose the excess pregnancy weight. But it is a delicate dance trying to keep your milk production up. Also, personally I was starving all the time while I was nursing, plus sleep deprivation, so for some of us the whole “losing the baby weight” doesn’t really work as well as we’d like.

I’m so glad my in-laws live on the other side of the country and don’t travel for legitimate (but convenient for me) reasons.

Wut

I didn’t believe you. Had to zoom in and yeah, you’re right but that’s bizarre!

I know it means nothing but, as an American, I’m sorry for the havoc our political system wreaks on your feed and on the world in general. We’re not thrilled about it either, typically.

Yeah that made me question whether I was right or not, honestly.

Went through my comment replies, only one I found was @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world

Legit though, I would have loved a pregnancy book written in Monty Python style while still being informative. This book was dry.

The toe thing was definitely a little tongue-in-cheek, but the other two she seemed to fully believe. When I pointed out that Drake didn’t have any children, or at least not legitimized, she acted confused and said it was something that the family had always said. Well… someone was bullshitting someone!

My mom has longer second toes, and she always said “It’s a sign you’re descended from royalty.” She also said stuff like “An ancestor ran away with an Indian princess” and “We’re descended from Sir Francis Drake” so my mom, though I love her, does not have a fully-functioning bullshit sensor.

I thought you were joking. How is this not the Onion?

Thank you, with the brain comment my mind went immediately to the brain worm and I was super confused because I highly doubted AOC would have ever endorsed him.
