Les vieux qui s'offusquent que les jeunes utilisent leur Pass Cutlure pour s'acheter des mangas parce que ça serait soit disant abrutissant alors qu'eux utilisent leur pension de retraite pour acheter le bouquin de De Villiers ou de Bardella, concentrez-vous un peu.

It was this time last year that I was wholly distracted from pressing project deadlines by making this ragtag troupe. Currently resisting the pull to add new recruites...

Let's see how true this is....

1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.
