@Wilder_w_Jack@dave43law Crazy that you're the first person I've seen say this online. This is it right here. Cheers from the other side of the lake bro!
Lmao that's funny. I actually recently learned that the word biweekly can mean either "once every two weeks" or "twice a week", rendering it virtually meaningless.
I had always thought if it as once every two weeks, but I'll never use it again. Words don't mean anything anymore these days lol π«π€£
@botzarelli@Manu_Stu@psychiel Interesting. Must be a difference between American and British English. American speakers would say "in the hospital" instead of "in hospital" to mean unwell. To say he's at work we'd say he's "at the hospital"
As a millennial I remember watching Nickelodeon as a kid in the 90s, and a big part of the general messaging was that parents and older generations were uncool and contemptible. Very similar energy to this.
Remember the Apple Jacks commercials where the parents would ask why they're called Apple Jacks if they don't have apples, and the kids would just shake their heads, because "Parents just don't get it"?
It didn't even make sense. There was nothing to get. It was psychological manipulation to get kids not to take their parents seriously, so that the TV could give them their morals and values. So many people in our generation internalized this and have no idea
Well said. What's interesting too is that, even after we've gone through the difficult process of letting all the misconceptions and illusions fall away, and see what we perceive to be the truth ... we then still have to be open to the possibility that our new perspective is an illusion too lol
