          Same. It’s not just the products that are enshittified. It’s the people’s attitudes. I think a lot of it is in reaction to the enshittification making everyone have less and less to lose

        Taking names (with meanings) from other languages and then calling them “bad scrabble hands” as if you’re not just mimicking every Brit who is angry that our languages use their Latin letters in ways they don’t like.

        English names are all just jobs. Tanner. Weaver. Miller. Chandler.

      tbf Kyle means “a narrow sea channel”, Aiden means “little fire”, and Tristan means “noise” or “sad” (lol)

        Tristan does not mean sad. Tristan is from Britonnic, it’s not Latin. Although tbf at this point that’s a millenia old mistake.

        I have heard that my entire life. Looked through books of names, and struggling to recal a time where any etymology was provided to suggest that the author didn’t just make shit up.

        They are mostly gaelic names pressed through a bazillion years of gallicization and Anglicization, of course people lose their OG context and miss the meaning. A lot of other cultures still have names where the og meaning is still evident.
