As soon as I open my mouth everyone hears my accent and gets mad at me, but: one of my forlorn and desperate hopes is that someday British society experiences a mass epiphany and realizes that the way it defines class makes no fucking sense at all
I'm reminded of the BBC summarizing the 2019 general election as "Labour lost the working class but won the woke" (verbatim quote), and then also seeing polls showing that every working-age demographic voted majority Labour. However, when there's 11 billion pensioners, and 10.999 billion vote Tory,
toying with the idea that the literal polar opposite of something is always funny as long as no detail is spared. For example: "your waiters become your haters in the conversation pit of failure"
One of the funniest things to come out of this are the brits who won’t leave Dubai even as it’s being bombed. One influencer adjacent guy went on a live stream on his balcony and said he’d rather be killed by Iran than go back to Wigan
We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

The shamelessness of Zack Polanski NICK COHEN
Observer publisher apologises to women who made Nick Cohen complaints Editor Katharine Viner and CEO Anna Bateson wrote to the women with an apology. By Charlotte Tobitt
I mean it's okay I try as hard as I can but I still cannot conceive of what the House of Lords' actual role in government is
He has an imponderable number of notches in his belt marking the instances in which he's been proven correct. The belt is going to fully fall apart soon. It's frayed and haggard from all the notching
I no longer drink like an idiot but I must say: yakgwa and pocari sweat is an actual hangover cure. It genuinely works magic

It's okay you can just use the slur
It was a Nikon manual SLR. I can't remember the model but it was at least easy to use
Study abroad thing lol but i take your point
Me in Brittany in 2002 at the age of 17 with my host brother visiting the beach. Everything I'm wearing is ill fitting somehow and also some shade of blue
Everyone wants to admire early 2000s fashion but they can't handle the genuine article. They don't want to stare into the abyss
I wish the French did more of this. L'on m'a heightmoggé etc etc
…those same arbitrary signifiers definitely bend perception one way or the other, even if in purely economic terms it's the exact same. I don't swing a hammer for a living, but if I got too ill to do audio post-production, or damaged my hearing, I would be in a pretty bad spot as well
I've been freelancing for 8 years now and have been successful enough at it that I have a very comfortable life, but if I stopped working I'd run out of money very quickly and would have no real assets to speak of. I don't think I'm that different than a sole trader with a plumbing business, but…
Americans typically use working class to mean "no college education and works an hourly job or in a trade" but it's also often used to mean "white coal miner in West Virginia and literally no one else" so I definitely don't think we're all that much better about it
It took me a long time to realize that Americans use middle-class to mean "people who depend on income from their work but own a home" and Brits use middle-class to mean "someone I hate, and whom I suspect shops at Waitrose." Neither is helpful, but the British interpretation makes no sense at all
Dutch article about the weird influencer named Clavicular
It's funny when they do this in German, but it feels like the Dutch are even more willing to go all-out
