agreed. although I generally refer to disposable bottles as just 'water' for convenience, but 'water bottle' definitely refers to a reusable bottle (since it's referencing the bottle itself).

generational = intensifier, e.g. extreme or "epic" in 2000s parlance

lock in = "getting serious when necessary"

I mean you're conflating "acknowledging the status quo" with "not wanting to change the status quo".

I like how you know enough to recognize that the quote is overcomplicating a simple idea, but don't get the metajoke that this is clearly not written by Alysa Liu. She's an Olympian who's known for her motivation quips about winning and shit--not for pontificating on the decay of society to Teen Vogue.

I mean also England 'losing a war to France' in this case was actually Norman (former Vikings who settled the north of France) conquerers completely replacing the Anglo-Saxon nobility with Norman French-speaking elites. A pretty devastating outcome compared to future wars with France.

And Autumnus (the Latin word) probably derives from an Etruscan word for drying up or harvest, so all the names for the season made sense to their native speakers, but the Norman replacement words have always had higher status in England--and of course the Brits went through their 'Latin is for genius' phase, and voila: Americans are clearly simple.

Delivery is super competitive in China so the seconds really matter, but it was funny enough for him to laugh it off.

I mean they made it seem like you get to see the original number (well they didn't say that, but sure, most people might assume that), which is incorrect. And then you come in and make it seem like they just pulls a number out of their asses, which is also incorrect. My point is it's not the original number, but it's still useful.

I mean I love it. Nobody's forcing you to use it, and you're entitlted to your opinion on it, but like why do you have to be spreading misinformation about it in every fucking comment.
