- Common pattern: people in a hobby have an unassuming name for their thing. Is there a name for this? Examples: - Meditators don't meditate, they sit. - Computer programmers don't have computers, they have machines. - Camera hobbyists don't own lenses, they own glass. (1/2)
- Replying to @freed_dfilan- People with tattoos don't have tattoos, they have ink. - MMO players don't have characters, they have toons. (2/2)

- I've been normie-pilled. The last three conspiracy theories that I put stock in were that COVID was a lab leak, Epstein didn't kill himself, and Boeing killed those whistleblowers. But looking into them myself made them all seem less likely (altho I can't rule the first 2 out)
