All of a sudden I'm seeing people overuse this new phrase. It entered the vocabulary of ziggers and there's no explanation for what it means or where it came from.1. Where do these new phrases come from?2. Why do zigs adopt these new phrases immediately without hesitation?

>>24812866Nigga this is just how language works kek the internet probably accelerates the speed at which neologisms are created and killed but the cycle itself exists in every single language until it dies.Idk the etymology behind ‘crashing out’ specifically but most of these lexemes are created by (or as a reaction to) communities with a strong in group identity like african americans, internet groups etc and then the terms are eventually adopted by a wider demographic
The first time I heard "crashing out" was a Larkin Love JOI video 10 years ago

But to me he was always Macmac, fadedly dribbling alcohol into three days growth on his fish shack as I, a huge magical elderly african american woman raped him while he was high.

Tropical Beach EditionFAQ:>What is worldbuilding?Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.>"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.>"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/ . We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.>"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"Yes, of course you can!>"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.Old Thread: >>24667235
>>24810855I love adventure stories, so I just mashed together every "type" of story I love and did my best to make it into a cohesive whole by using wikipedia level knowledge of sociology.Tripura is the cyberpunk scifi dystopia that also happens to own the Heinleinian space colonies. Llys is the Dark Fantasy style evil empire created by an evil demon and his armies of monsters and evil sorcerers.
>>24812460>One of my great great... great grandpas gave me this brooch. He said that it needs his blood to activate and that I'm the only one out of all his youngest descendants that can activate the magic. He said the rest just don't share any blood with him anymore, despite being his descendants.Won't that make it unusable eventually?
>>24813536Grandpa just has to charge up their blood once in a while if you catch my drift. You're right though. It will eventually become unusable. That's just how blood magic works.
>>24808018>what are said fetishesYounger men with older women. Significantly older. Like, 18 year old men with 35-45 year old women. The kind of thing you would've seen in medieval Europe, but sexes reversed.
>>24814406You could have it so that it the world it is the custom for older, financially secure men to marry significantly younger, fertile women in arranged marriages. Naturally this leads to the husband very often dying many decades before the wife. This then leads to many financially and legally independent middle-aged or younger widows who are interested in having relationships with younger men and now finally have the opportunity to do so. The younger men, deprived of relationship opportunities with their female age peers, are eager to reciprocate.(Inspired by Ancient Greece.)

Genius or hippie bullshit?
>>24814715Not really either. He was very articulate but really only restating things said by others in an eloquent and entertaining way, and he never claimed to be anything more. Parts of what he said don't hold up because he was exaggerating or making an observation that was relative to the situation at the place and time (1960s San Fran) he was giving those lectures. For example, he says "Don't try to improve yourself" but what he actually means is 'Don't try to surpass your means and then flog yourself over it, instead learn to better use your existing means' - for example, instead of looking for a psychological trick to force yourself to be faithful, if you're a randy fuck, don't promise monogamy in the first instance and choose to be honest about being non-committal instead (something he could have observed better himself apparently). If you're hopelessly not suited to a particular job, rather than trying to contort yourself to be better at carpentry or whatever it is for a protracted amount of time you should look for a different role you are fit for. Don't force it. You can still look for ways to improve a present state with what you have but don't expect you can transcend the limits of your organism and find a cheat sheet to hack your own mind, learn to accept imperfection and have compassion for each other and find the best way to work through things with minimal fuss and conflict instead. The reason he formulated it as an extreme is because there was a glut of self-help books and guru schemes at the time telling people if they do some Wim Hoff shit they can control they can Make Friends and Influence People or whathaveyou. There's bits and pieces like that throughout his recorded career that could do with additional footnotes like that to make their implied intention in the original context clearer where it could confuse or mislead modern audiences. His endorsement of suicide for some people is another one, too many zoomer idiots off themselves over their gf of 3 months dumping them or whatever nowadays because they haven't known real pain. He's more suggesting that for the hopelessly schizo or dopamine-fried like e.g. Ligotti or Mainlander there's a fair case for it (but not necessarily an imperative). Overall, taken in the right spirit (he was a lecturer in comparative philosophy and religion, NOT a buddhist or a therapist/saviour figure and explicitly says this in some talks), Alan Watts had a lot of intelligent and worthwhile things to say and I think Gen Z and Alpha would be better off being raised on his talks than on most of what their cultural and educational intake is in 2025 in practice. Blame the wooks for his current lowbrow rep. Imo he was an absurdist more than he was anything else, ultimately.
>>24814755Yeah his estate really milk it. There's a few big zip files that float about on Soulseek, Internet Archive etc. & I'm just identifying and removing all the duplicates, naming shit properly, finding the best quality version of the talks with poorer audio, etc. before I stick them all in one place for free on Soulseek permanently. If anyone wants to link me to any I might have missed lmk, I'm not sure I have all of the Eastern Wisdom & Modern Life videos.
>>24814929Oh, small addition: the main thing about him that could be said to be hippy bullshit was later on he did believe in some sci-fi stuff like ESP, but given the rapid pace of scientific advancement during his lifetime I think a little magical thinking can be forgiven since afaik he didn't take it anywhere in terms of shilling or drawing new philosophical/practical conclusions that relied on those beliefs.
