forever

Adverb
pl: nullpast: nullpp: nulling: nullcomp: nullsup: null

This word carries a heavy emotional weight, often evoking a sense of absolute permanence or spiritual eternity. It is a staple of romantic vows and epic poetry, where it suggests a bond that transcends the physical limits of a human lifespan. When used to describe a repetitive action, the word shifts from a romantic or cosmic tone to one of irritation. In this context, it functions as a hyperbolic intensifier, signaling that a behavior is so frequent it feels endless, turning a temporal marker into a critique of character.

did you restart it or are you just vibing?

💡
Mark uses 'bricked' (slang for a device that won't start/work) and 'forever' as a hyperbole to express annoyance at the loading time. Brian responds with sarcasm, using 'vibing' to mock Mark's lack of effort in fixing the problem.
