Can the bottom be slippery enough for someone to not regain their footing? People can stand up on ice, for example.

Then it’s a good thing I never said you can’t drown in a couple inches of water, now isn’t it? Do you not think it’s at least a little bit odd that she didn’t stand up in waist-deep water and the family isn’t questioning this?

How slippery is it, exactly? And by struggle, how hard would it be for someone to stand up after falling in? Assuming the canal is 3-4 ft deep.

Can’t swim? Not an issue since the water in a canal is still and only waist deep. There’s no need to even try to swim.

In what way is what I’m saying objectively false?

I’ve seen men who are in their 20’s but look like they’re in their 40’s, but I’ve seen lots more women who are in their 30’s and look like they’re in their 50’s or even 60’s. Not sure if it’s sun damage or something else. A woman tends to have more wrinkles than a man of the same age along with more crepey/leathery and oddly shiny skin.

If you’re going to bring race into it, the cases off the top of my head, including in the cases i linked involved white people…

Why would it be especially bad in the UK, though? What is happening in the UK to cause such widespread class-hate?

Has the meaning since changed? When I look up the term, I mostly get pages saying it’s a classist insult towards the working class, which is quite different from your description.

A journalist wrote a book on the topic. It seems to refer to the working class as a whole, rather than a portion.

I believe it. So many posts from Reddit read like they’re fake in a patronizing way, like they want to twist my opinion.

Depends on the person. I think it was more common 20-30 years ago than now in some places.

That’s a brilliant breakdown. I love how you’ve highlighted how distinct the feel of each place can be. It’s interesting how each city (or even small town) seems to develop its own uniform.

I guess that answers my question pretty clearly, it sounds like UK cities do have their own styles, even if you only really notice it once you’ve spent time in a few of them.

Do you think those differences are changing, though? Like with online trends and fast fashion, are local styles starting to blur a bit?

I know on Reddit, there’s a catchphrase that says “That’s enough Reddit for today”. I think the saying that is appropriate here in response to reading this clarification is “That’s enough Lemmy for today.”

We were in the Midlands sector.

As someone who doesn’t believe in console exclusivity, good.

Psych!

The worst game mechanic is artificial difficulty where enemies aren’t challenging. Instead, they are just damage sponges.

I actually know who that troll is because that artist is my cousin and I just made an account to comment on their blog. I wasn’t rude or anything, I just kept asking them to post a link to where that picture was elsewhere, because the troll kept saying they don’t report people for art theft unless there’s no doubt, and they kept dodging the question by saying “why that picture specifically?” or “the links have been posted” even though they never were. They also misgendered her even though I told the troll she’s a she, and made excuses. Then the troll blocked me and deleted all my replies 😂

They weren’t naked pics. They were just normal selfies.
