Say what you want about kids these days and their slang, but I LOVE the term “brainrot.”

Was my genX ass ever this self-aware?

Is there a college-aged white man in America that isn’t an insufferable douchebag?

Has there ever been one?

The term coined is 'sadopopulism'. Another person put it:
'50% of the American people are happy to live under a bridge in a box cooking a rat on a stick, so long as their neighbors don't have a box, a rat or a stick.'

One time when Lucy was around two, she pooped her pants in the car

I said “Lucy, did you poop your pants!”

“No Daddy,” said Lucy, “Rockso did it”

“Rockso pooped your pants?”

“Yes Rockso pooped my pants”

Rockso is a dog and was not even in the car

I grew up a Jew in the south and was regularly told I was going to hell by smiling people who genuinely thought they were doing me a favor. They were helping me. They were giving me a chance.

Hard to be American these days when the whole world is roasting us but we can’t say anything back because everything they say is true

If I had remained a high school teacher in 2003 instead of trying to do all this extra horseshit, I’d be retired right now
