CoolCab posted:legit, the british language specifically is undergoing what to my ear is a pretty serious renaissance in NA. when i was a kid only cartoon english stereotypes use phrases like "bloody", "mum" and other routine anglosphere ticks like "gday" and "no worries". i think it's the ubiquity of youtube as the primary provider for children oriented content and that kids don't notice or care if peppa pig speaks a little different. I've been on the no worries bandwagon ever since Sir Terry sold me on it, it's a great rhetorical flourish American society is a cultural vacuum so I'm not surprised to see this sort of thing becoming more common

Just noticed that the coop has no vodka. Well, the furious jakies caught my attention. I was close to pointing out the cherry Absolute for 25 quid but didn't want to be murdered

Really seems like there's a particularly desperate push from the terfs who know they're losing the war and looking all the more ghoulish and psychotic, and increasingly unable to hide their alignment with the far right.

my accent is extremely elusive and changes radically depending on who i am speaking to. no one ever guesses it right, which is probably fair. i think i've had people guess every white anglo country on the planet by now.

oh also jose i was in newcastle today, the costco in gateshead, and mask use must have been well under 50%. i think worse than carlisle actually. so it might be retail location dependent too.

while waitrose and a couple of other snooty uk only chains are definitely more bougie it's mostly on the basis everything costs twice as much - they don't charge a subscription fee. costco's clientele have always been upper class petite bourgeois and higher, their demographics skew ludicrously towards wealth iirc.

Theyve been astroturfed by koch and other nazi networks like that and imo thats what explains their appearing out of nowhere to be a sizeable influence on national politics and staying power despite profound unpopularity Also explains why they are aligned with nazis

Watched a programme about the Plantagenets and then one about the War of the Roses. It was all very French, wasn't it?! I don't know whether I learnt that in school and forgot, or just didn't know! Anyway, Richard II was a bit of a dick wasn't he!

People forget but whole French provinces were under English control as late as the 15th century and we hung onto Calais for a hundred years after that.
