What would you call them?
Indians
I mean while I agree; the Old Testament was chock full of trades, prices and labor agreements for wives. I think it’s been a market for as long as we’ve had the intelligence to make trades and barter
If you want to make language idiot-proof, I don't know what to tell you. Pretty much every internet term ends up getting raped and twisted until it lost all meaning (crashing out, throwing, thicc, snow bunny).
Those terms were all a thing long before the internet started using them and I've only really seen those ones used in their actual context. We've entered a weird fucked up time where old slang gets framed as new and confusing, two of the most frustrating cases of that were simp and sus a few years back. fucking "baby got back" by sir mixalot and several other songs from the 80s and 90s literally use the term simp in the same way and sus has been used as shorthand for suspicious for far, far longer. but no! now it's "incomrensible" zoomer or millenial or gen alpha speak depending on which side of the generational fuckfest you stand on.
What does he even think "Dead Internet Theory" means? The fact that corpo's rule the majority of internet based solutions? That people don't act like themselves? I could see the correlation, it's a different meaning/interpretation of the word "dead".
I remember the first time I heard it, long-long ago in the ancient times of 2020; mostly used in the niche 4chan communities. It was just a dumb word that you'd just use every so often. Often said with "based on what" afterwards, to troll. I never know how the fuck niche trends in niche communities spread so wide, but when I first saw it used on Reddit, I just knew it was over and I never wanted to say it ever again in my life. The amount of disgust I felt when I saw this absolute subhuman use it, I just can't describe it.
It's rather people get annoyed at overuse and misuse of words, mostly by people who don't know any better. Do imagine, if you will, that you're a parent living in the absolutely prehistoric 2012-13 and Gangnam Style comes out, and every single fucking kid says it and dances it. You'll go absolutely fucking insane within the week, but it lasts for (a) year(s). Sus, yap, based, cringe, all pre-established words, overused, misused and abused by kids. It doesn't help that people now exist, in their mid 30's, who act like absolute children. (See example above)
based existed long before 2020 and was used very frequently in a number of circles. it actually mutated in meaning some decade or 2 ago from what I remember as well.
it's not kids using it that annoys me. It's sectoids and skinwalkers acting like it's new and incomprehensible and then using it. The example you used of based not being based anymore is one of the examples of that kind of thing.
In the year of our lord 1980, the big bang occurred and Jesus was crucified not even two years past.
I get ya, I get ya. I know Simp has lost any and all meaning beyond 'man likes woman', not even the other way around. I feel disgusted typing it, even.
This reads like you were called a simp sometime recently by someone.
The violence is rising.
"throw" is used whenever a player plays badly, not when he is deliberately playing poorly to lose the game. Thicc is used for fat hogs rather than girls that aren't rail-thin (just like every other term used for women that are slightly above 0% bodyfat. Fatlovers and hamplanets immediately coopt the term). Snow bunny is used for any blonde woman rather than for niggerfuckers.
Yeah alright those misuses are very much a thing but I see them less than the normal usages, and the last one seems to be used for blonde women specifically when a black guy's simping for a her from what I've seen. First two are incredibly annoying ones when you see them used in that way.
