it is, but it also already has a longstanding different (complimentary) cultural meaning that doesn't have anything to do with unc

i was thinking "unt"? tough one

i'm turning 40 later this year so these posts are actually just cope but w/e

i was going to delineate the meaning of aunt but i feel like we all get it. we all know what aunt is

i'm not unc, but i am aunt. this is the difference between old (derogatory) and old (complimentary)

Subscribe & donate now: weareravenous.com.” At the bottom there’s the Ravenous raven logo stating there are “29 days left.”

We’re stunned. In just day 1 of our subscriber drive, we’ve raised $48,884! 🎉 That’s 30 percent of our goal of $160,000 to support the launch of Ravenous. We’re blown away by the love and support we’ve received from YOU.

How do I stop getting motion sickness from video games? "I turn out to get really motion sick, and sometimes get visual migraines, especially from first person games."

vests are definitely preppy energy and tattletale energy and therefore adjacent to cop energy. but they're not fully cop energy on their own. just my imho.

yeah, sorry for the "well actually," i just watch way too many procedurals and read too many mysteries, so the distinction is very clear to me. personally i don't consider prosecutors to be literal cops, but i also don't particularly respect their career choice. public defenders, however? goated.

Saul is a criminal defense attorney, not a prosecutor. he would never be in a position to defend cops, as a prosecutor would

i also read this today which has me thinking about the topic a lot too ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

"you cheated not only the game but yourself" is not how i feel about video games at all but it is how i feel about people using LLMs to "write" essays for them

addressed in this very article!

fascinating! motion sickness is so weird!

yeah, in my case it must not actually be hormonal, which is fascinating to me, because my migraines definitely are. so what causes my motion sickness? some sort of inner ear deficiency i was born with, i guess? i wish we knew more about it, and how to treat it, because it's SO annoying

yeah, puberty or post-pregnancy seems to change things for some people. for me, i've been prone to motion sickness since i came out of the womb. it sucks!! i don't recommend it!!

i actually can't play ANY game in a moving vehicle... despite trying many times as a child with my Game Boy on a road trip. very sad.

also, if you're a game dev who wants more information about accessibility settings you can include that will help reduce motion sickness for players (fun fact, btw, female players are statistically more prone to experience it......), you should read the tips because they will tell you all about it!
