  • My teenage cousins called me the pervert uncle (they’re 17y+ younger than me), presumably because they think they found a sex toy at my place. It’s not, but I refuse to tell them what it is. 😈

    Actually, I should be calling them pervert cousins since they’re the ones coming up with scenarios! But I don’t judge. Takes one to know one I guess. Also, we talk very liberally about relationships and puberty and stuff, so I’m glad we have that kind of trusting relationship.











  • English/American ads are always weird to witness. “Buy x now!” “Ask your doctor about x!” “Order now!” in a very direct commanding way. I find the European ads (that I actually notice) to be much more subtle. The maximum I can think of is “If you order now” formulations.

    I wonder if there are laws pertaining to this or if it’s a language barrier thing, e. g. because the polite form is too awkward in German.
