Don't know why but these comments hit hard. Showed me my privilege, I suppose. My parents were distant, emotionally absent, manipulative, and controlling. And, of course, they fucked me up*. I've had more than one (ex) girlfriend accuse me of being an emotional cripple. But I was never afraid of my parents physically. And now they're both passed, so it's up to me to try not to fuck up my kids.


This Be The Verse, Philip Larkin

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

And yet there was absolutely nothing about this story on the BBC news this morning!

"Bondi is also making a push to deemphasize prosecutions of white-collar crimes, purge diversity programs within the DOJ, reintroduce the federal death penalty, and to root out lawyers who aren’t willing to march in lockstep with Trump ideologically."

Shitting biscuits.

Odd. Here's what I see, but I'm on desktop, so maybe that's it:

I did a cross-post - when I look at this one in okmatewanker I see a link to your original in accidentalrenaissance. Does that not show up for you?

Or wait, was the one in accidentalrenaissance not your original?

I'll edit the post with a link to your lemmy.world post.

“No, Rolf, I can’t tell what it fucking is yet!”

 

The OK Go videos and the Japanese synchronised walking one I just posted reminded me of this bizarre music video.

 

Sorry for the absolute potato quality!

 

Looking for a UK pixelfed server. One choice.

Do any furries have naked molerat as their fursona?

I've been bombarded recently with adds for the Muscle Booster app. Just a minute's research revealed that this is just a subscription renewal scam, but the app looks perfect for my needs.

I'm over 50, in pretty bad shape, and looking to make some changes, so a chair workout plan seems ideal, and the (possibly fake) app they show in the ads looks perfect.

Is there a non-scam chair workout app I can use?

 

Another lighter dish to fight off the post-Christmas cheese coma!

Salmon en papillote with couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets
  • 125 ml vegetable stock
  • 120g couscous
  • 60g sun-dried tomatoes, in oil, sliced
  • 100g feta
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

Salsa

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 handful of basil, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Mix together all the salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

Method

  1. Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a pan. Stir in the couscous, cover, remove from the heat and stand for about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
  2. Mix the tomatoes, feta, courgettes, remaining oil, oregano, salt and pepper into the couscous.
  3. Preheat the oven, or air fryer, to 180°C/360°F.
  4. Spread out four large pieces of baking paper. Put a salmon fillet in the centre of each piece of baking paper and top with some of the couscous. Press it down a little so the couscous forms a crust. Don't worry if some spills down the sides, it'll still be grand. Wrap the baking paper and try to make sure it's sealed. Place on a baking tray in the center of the oven, or in the basket of an air fryer. Cook for 20 minutes in the oven, or 15 minutes in the air fryer.
  5. To serve, cut open the parcels and drizzle with salsa.
