Something that can come into existence on demand and die when its purpose is served, life is lived, etc. Kinda like bubbles that come and go. I was thinking effervescent, but that's not quite it according to dictionary.com.
I'm trying to find out what the technical word is for this definition. The word has Greek or Latin roots. It basically means something like "the philosophy that nothing exists beyond yourself" or that the entirety of the universe is an extension of yourself.
How to say «f you» and «go and f yourself» without swearing?
I need not a word replacement but a beautiful intelligent self existing synonymic phrase.
Alright, so I am writing a fic and I have six chapters written and two chapters posted. However, I get decent clicks for the first chapter, but hardly anyone goes to the second. I can't help but think it is because of some wording I use.
The fandom is set in a mystical fantasy land in the distant past I would say. The male love interest in my story, I am doing a concept where every time he dies, a spell is cast on him that revives him and wipes his memories clean unless the person summoning him chooses to let him keep certain memories.
I called this reboots and I just feel like that's not the right word due to the setting. The word is too modern sounding for it. I mean, maybe this isn't the reason people pass up on it, I definitely need to polish it up a bit, but this really bugs me.
I looked at synonyms but I'm just not finding anything with the exact meaning that has a certain days of past kind of eloquence to it. I also thought about using revive, but the character is actually

I humbly ask that fellow Redditors notify me in the comments of any additional common words that will need to be added.

If language was something learned and taught by humans, why create more unnecessary words when they can just be used for the description of something else. If every word was unique I guarantee a lot more vocabulary would be put to good use and describing things will be even better than before.

It’s a common term that I have used before but for the life of me I can’t remember. Any help would be great. I’ve already thesaurused frivolous and meaningless but haven’t gotten it.
So there a lot of amazing video game music out there, but I wanted to focus on the lyrical songs in video games in this post and see what people tend to consider to be the best out there.
Here's a small list of what I consider to be the best:
- Simple and Clean (Kingdom Hearts): It became synonymous with the franchise and the fandom, and is even known by people that have never played KH. Simple song unlike the plot of the franchise.
- Snake Eater (MGS3): Not a lot to say here.
- Amusement Park (Neir Automata): This is probably the weirdest one on my list, because the lyrics are nonsense. They're meant to represent a futuristic language that does not exist, and is still capable of being an amazing song. The moment you enter the amusement park and hear this song, you can feel the atmosphere, even if you cannot understand a single thing.
- Eyes On Me (Final Fantasy VIII): In my personal opinion, the best song in all of Final Fantasy. It fits the plot of the game and c
For the past week, I've been trying to understand how the multiverse of the Nasuverse works, in an I don't need sleep, I need answers way. The main things which make it convoluted and, in my opinion, one of the most badly worldbuilded multiverse systems in fiction when it comes to how understandable it is, are terms like these:
Timelines
Parallel Worlds
Adjacent Worlds
Quantum Time-Locks
Proper Human History
Lostbelts etc.
and trying to understand what they mean the differences between them.
The biggest problem seems to be that different sources of information on the internet about the topic occasionally contradict each other. Another problem is that there's basically no visual representation of anything related to the concepts about the functioning of the multiverse.
It's to the point where I've had to write down some notable things each source says, compare it and point out the contradictions and inconsistencies.

... keep reading on reddit ➡My initial reaction was to attribute it to the pernicious impact of digitalization and how it's basically eradicated my attention span (which I'm desperately attempting to rebuild by reading and reducing my time imbibing immediately gratifying content online) - however the more I think about it - it's probably also my mild OCD, anxiety, ADHD etc doing it's thing.
Very rarely can I actually get immersed in a book, oftentimes I feel like Ron Burgundy who spoils humorous moments by bluntly remarking 'we are laughing!' - but in the context of reading I'm sitting there scanning the words thinking 'wow would you look at me reading Dostoevsky. Quite the learned individual aren't I.' and I sometimes go into a fuckin weird inner monologue that ends with a David Mitchel rant 'words don't really exist do they, they're just a collection of squiggly lines that someone gave meaning to...look at how stupid that one looks'.
It sounds a bit amusing but it's really fuckin frustrating.

So I'm not the biggest football fan, but I did take notice when Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team I'll politely call not A grade. The teams name and logo though... I have some problems with it.
Okay first off, the Buccaneers franchise was started in 1976, named for the pirates who roamed the Florida coast. Okay that sounds reasonable but there's a major problem. The word buccaneer is by many considered just a synonym for pirate. Its not. Buccaneer, much like the phrase corsair and sea dog, refer to a very specific group in a specific time.
Buccaneers were basically hunters who lived on the island of Hispaniola, what is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic. They were around as early as 1625 and predominantly French. The Spanish later drove them to the nearby island of Tortuga. The word buccaneer comes from the fact these hunters roasted the me

It denotes people who
-
understand themselves to be working in the tradition of Radical Feminism.
Radical Feminism is a social and intellectectual movement that grew out of second-wave Feminism in the 1970s.
And, like second-wave Feminism, this tradition is largely English-language, largely White, largely culturally Christian, and largely middle– and upper-middle–class.
TERF specifically denotes the sub-set of Radical Feminists who
-
out of bigoted fear, wish to exclude, bar, and legally discriminate against transgender people.
At their most horrendous, TERFs, like anti-abortionists, seek to make transgender people’s existence essentially illegal.
TERFs reject this framing, of course. Bigots almost always do.
TERF started as a self-applied term: it was the phrase TERFs used to distinguish themselves from other Radical Feminists. Currently, however, people accurately denoted as TERFs tak

That was consistently a problem whenever cards and virtual currencies replaced cash in human society.
In tech business terms, this is called adoption.
In financial terms, there's a slightly fancier name for the people who didn't have an account: the unbanked. In modern banking, it is sometimes used as a more politically correct synonym for "poor".
Unfortunately for Galactic Credits, adoption was low, and the unbanked were the vast majority of traders.
In a human financial system, the way that banks solved this problem eventually was through incentives. Other tha

This is simply my viewpoint, and I encourage discussion and different opinions. I just don't want anyone to think I'm attacking their viewpoint just because mine is different.
Due to the Unveiling lore book, I have seen many people take the stance that the Darkness/Winnower isn't actually "evil" in the sense that we consider "evil", but it is simply following it's nature and drive. In fact, the Darkness makes this exact argument in The Singular Exegete entry Contrast. Is winter evil simply for being winter? Is the sun evil simply for being the sun? Winter causes cold, hunger, and pain. The sun causes burning, drought, famine. Does that make them evil? No. As Eris says, even if it had a mind, winter could not choose to be an endless summer.

By Dustin Guastella
Progressives and moderates accuse each other of being unable to appeal to working-class voters — and maybe they’re both right.
The Democratic Party may have recaptured the White House, but its crisis remains as deep as ever. Though Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 7 million popular votes, his Electoral College victory came down to 42,000 ballots in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Democrats barely won the Senate, lost seats in the House, and were stonewalled at the state level — of the twelve legislative chambers Democrats had targeted there, they won zero.
Far from celebrating a landslide victory, with hopes of a national realignment on the way, Democrats found themselves once more engaged in a tense debate about the future of a party that seems incapable of decisively winning control of all branches of government.
On this question, the progressive and centrist

It’s a low paying job (<$40k/ year), but as I begin my job search for higher paying jobs related to my degree, I’m realizing why I’ve grown so complacent and comfortable at my current job.
One of my biggest issues of job searching is that since I would be switching job fields, I have been looking mainly at entry level positions. Yet, a lot of these so called entry level positions are paying less than I currently make and require higher level degrees and much more experience than the word entry implies. I always thought that entry level jobs were designed to train people to help them learn their way into a role and eventually move up, but it seems to me that companies today use the term ‘entry level’ synonymously with ‘low-paying’ yet with expectations of being a very experienced worker. Am I just being pessimistic, or is it really that hard to find a job in to

If you are in the US oppose the "Violence Against Women Act" and ask politicians to change the name with a gender neutral name, and create "Violence Against Men Office" to match with the existing "Violence Against Women Office"
Demand male equivalent for any program created for females. example: your city created a commission for women and girls, demand the creation of a commission for men and boys. your local government mark International Women's Day ? ask them they mark International Men's Day. etc etc ...
You can tell me that you are for gender equality and at the same time you support female supremacy in government.
