worst thing about uni students using AI for essays is that they don't even seem to be doing it so they can spend more time in the club, I'd have marginally more respect for them if their goal was to maximise their partying time, what are they even doing with the time AI frees up for them

A liking for exotic coffee isn't a class signal in the UK. However, *thinking* that working class people prefer plain boring coffee is a very strong indicator that the speaker is upper middle class. No-one who actually has working class friends could be so deluded.
Please pray for Matthew. He went into a Greggs and the staff held him down and forced him to drink a woke beverage.

‘It’s a nice surprise to be treated like kings!’ Why are mid-level British indie bands massive in China?
My group, Swim Deep, plays to crowds of hundreds across the UK – but in China, we play to tens of thousands. And we’re not the only ones
