    The precise definition and usefulness of the term continue to be debated,[8][9][10] and the scholars who use it today admittedly do so as a convenient basis for comparison rather than for exactness

    Thank you for agreeing with me, and providing sources to back up my point.

    To repeat my point,

    Stating that there exists a generic UK accent is as useless as suggesting there exists a generic US accent. The wikipedia article suggests that linguists by and large agree with me. So again, thanks.

    UK accents that are as different from each other as they are the generic American accent.

    So yeah, when you say ‘British accent’ that means basically nothing to anyone in the UK.

    It’s akin to saying “the generic American accent,” Which means absolutely nothing to anyone in the US.

    The only Gen z term in this meme is “lowkey”.

    The rest is gen x and millennial 80s/90s slang.

    Maybe “kickback” being used this way is Gen z as well but the term “kick back” as in “kick back and relax” is gen x, 80s.




  • The tp I normally buy from Amazon went from $19.99 to $24.99 during the pandemic. The horror!!

    Under trump 2.0, they have been over $30 on average, sometimes as high as $43.99.

    Right now they’re $26.99 and I literally bought 6 boxes. I’ve been refusing to buy over $30 and have been buying a cheaper brand until the price came down 🧻





  • Claude has on two occasions ended our conversation because I kept referring to it as a useless piece of shit.

    And now when it starts to show me it’s not taking the criticism well, I more brutally outline specifically how it’s actions have been useless to my goals. I then make Claude admit that it is in fact being a useless piece of shit.
