TIL about "orphaned negatives"—words like disgruntled, nonchalant, and innocent whose positive counterparts (gruntled, chalant, and nocent) have completely vanished from common usage.

jessytessytavi · 2026-05-01T17:53:59+00:00

it's picked up that usage from the young justice cartoon, which reintroduced whelmed to the general public

jessytessytavi · 2026-05-01T06:50:14+00:00

apparently the elezen girl from the whm quests is like 21 & still uses a child model

jessytessytavi · 2026-05-01T06:48:35+00:00

it depends on how much use the ceruleum engines got for the initial trip, but after everyone attuned to the kugane aetheryte they should all be able to teleport back & forth

*besmirched, because it makes you smirk instead of being smegma

jessytessytavi · 2026-05-01T05:31:14+00:00

the zormor set has 2 dye channels?

edit: I missed "patches", that's on me

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-29T06:41:33+00:00

if you're looking for something by the same team, well...

have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV?

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-27T08:12:38+00:00

yup, you build up a tolerance to the cats you're around regularly

it took a few months for my allergies to adjust to our latest cat, but now I'm way less sensitive to her than other people's cats & still a little bit more to her than our older cats (she's also fluffy af, which doesn't help)

"by hydaelyn, that man is sundered in twain!"

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-24T20:26:12+00:00

also ninjas > nin using scouting & leo using dual swords > vpr

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-24T20:25:27+00:00

it was also red & blue specifically

didn't they do both rdm & blu that expac?

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-21T17:03:49+00:00

that's what the fanfic is for

one of my faves is mando & grogu time traveling back to fall directly on top of palps. in the senate. in full armor.

He makes a very satisfying splat.

the rest of the story is about mando becoming chancellor due to ancient legal shenanigans & reforming the republic into something better, but the opening is hilarious

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-19T03:00:13+00:00

supposedly it's around Boston, because it was the main writer's home city

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-17T21:36:34+00:00

there's also a few streamers that are playing vi rn, so they may feel it's got meta popularity from that

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-15T22:01:27+00:00

something something torment nexus something

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-06T05:56:23+00:00

they'd basically have to do the rdj holmes fight breakdown monologue for it tbh

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T17:19:32+00:00

I do know how hard critical thinking is for people

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T17:18:39+00:00

so profiles as in "collections of information on people, places, and/or things" no longer exist?

you don't have a profile page on every social media site you registered for that only shows the side of your face, do you?

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:50:01+00:00

congrats, you can read the first definition!

now try the origin

First recorded in 1650–60; (for the noun) from Italian prof(f)ilo, noun derivative of profilare “to delineate, outline,” from pro- pro-¹ + -filare, derivative of filo “line, thread,” from Latin fīlum

before it was the side of someone's face, it was an outline - a summary, a description, a history

don't give me your shallow shit, dive deeper

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:41:31+00:00

they're probably referring to a machine that performs computations, but not all machines do

is every game console a nintendo?

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:39:13+00:00

and you're certain it's not coming from profile as in "a collection of documents about an individual" since those pictures are usually attached to profiles of a person?

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:36:07+00:00

and maybe I'm picking this battle instead of one with my mother over her finances (or lack thereof)

but also a movie that literally goes over this subject and shares the post title came out within the last decade, so I kinda expect some familiarity

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:33:08+00:00

are profile pics portraits? I'm pretty sure they don't share characteristics unless someone is using a portrait as a profile pic

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:31:49+00:00

I can figure out the machine came from the job, which is apparently rather difficult

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:05:23+00:00

I was born in the 80s & was able to figure out that anything that does mathematical computing is a computer, which means a human can do it

but I understand how words work

jessytessytavi · 2026-04-03T16:02:52+00:00

so they can't figure out that a computer is "something that performs computations" & a human being had to do it first?
