Hi gay, I'm dad

Ruined it by including it in "don't." That's a missed opportunity

For those unaware, Hells Angels are a gang.

If you want to enrage yourself, get the book "Hell's Angels" by Hunter Thompson.

There's a long passage on the economics of being a biker/hippie/dropout/artist circa 1970.

A biker who worked six months as a Union stevedore could save enough to spend two years on the road. A part time waitress could earn enough to support herself and her musician boyfriend.

Follow up question: Isn't "you who miss it" wrong? Instead of "you who misses it".

[–] WeevilFriend@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I think both can be right but it would be dependent on whether it's plural "you" or singular "you"

I'm a bit of a nerd, but I think it's super classy to get all your jots and tiddles in order. Tildes and diereses give an air of authority.

But none of this is on brand with Hell's Angels. We'd have to make our own mötorcycle touring club. (Metal umlaut.)
