#Ovo Factor

[papaziggy-devblog]

Bro imagine thinking that putting an incest fetish into a game as anything to do with it being a horror game. It doesn't, it feels like it was being romanticized especially. if you're trying to make an excuse for why it was there. (To the last anon I mean) because let me say this, that isn't horror. That was incest baiting and shock factor bullshit, trying to pretend it's scary when it isn't.

I mean I was pretty horrified heuheuheuheu ( ovo)

But nah, you right, fetish baiting has nothing to do with horror

That being said there ARE proper ways to use things like incest to UNSETTLE and DISTURB or just give a general feel of unease and confusion and/or repulsion

My response under a read more since it got long

First link:

This study is not necessarily advocating for vegan or vegetarian diets, and it mentions that in the introduction. It mentions instead its evaluation of overconsumption of animal products and underconsumption of various plant sources.

The study also mentions that vegans and vegetarians tend to consume more fruits, vegetables, and legumes and in more variety, as well as fewer refined cereals, added fats and sweets, and non-water beverages. This is known as the healthy user bias. The study even mentions that "the differences in terms of health outcomes ... cannot be directly linked only to the different consumption of protein sources." Even their own analysis of various studies find that most results aren't statistically significant, and those that do have significant statistical correlation include flexitarians, pescetarians, and lacto-ovo vegetarians and exclude vegans.

Second link

This article references two different studies, "Environmental Impact of Two Plant-Based, Isocaloric and Isoproteic Diets: The Vegan Diet vs. the Mediterranean Diet" and "A Mediterranean Diet and Low-Fat Vegan Diet to Improve Body Weight and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: A Randomized, Cross-over Trial."

For the first, this goes into one of my main complaints about dietary sustainability analysis in that the calculations are all hypothetical. It does not study if an individual's personal food choices make an impact on foods being produced. I am not arguing that livestock do not have a significant environmental impact or that agriculture does not damage the Earth. They clearly do. But I'm not a libertarian that thinks the free market will solve the ingrained issues with how food is produced.

My other issue with studies like this is that it groups all livestock together and all crops together. Cattle, chickens, fish, shellfish, goats, etc. all have a very different environmental impact. Almonds, wheat, apples, avocados, beans, rice etc. also all have very different environmental impacts. Painting agriculture with broad brushes like this is, in my opinion, not very helpful. I'm also not interested in pointing out the harmful impact of one side of agriculture while completely supporting the other side and acting like we can ignore that. I am more interested in food raised using sustainable techniques vs. industrially grown food rather than pitting animals and plants against each other as a whole. I am anti-capitalist and I do not make my food and animal activism to still be playing into capitalism. I also dislike pretending that crops and livestock are mutually exclusive industries that do not fundamentally play into each other.

As for the second study, I find this one far more interesting but I do have a few things to point out. The study does not mention what the lifestyles of the participants were before the study began, only that they were overweight. It seems to be operating under the assumption that thinner automatically means healthier, which isn't necessarily the case. But are participants normally eating tons of junk food with little fresh fruits and vegetables and then switching to more balanced diets prepared at home? Considering participants are also specifically asked to avoid sweetened drinks, processed meats and snacks, and cream and to limit cured ham and fatty cheeses, there are almost definitely other factors at play than simply meat vs plants. Second, participants attended classes taught by dieticians and physicians. Of course people would be healthier following instructions by people formally educated in health. Third, it is noted that several participants out of 52 change medications during the study, which can impact results.

Third link

See my points from link 2.

Fourth link

I like the recommendations made for vegan companies here. They suggest making some foods at home and avoiding companies that use palm oil or soy from South America as well as brands like Nestle that are famously known for damaging environments all over the world and harming people especially in poor countries. I will add though that this is harder than it looks due to brands having parents companies and Nestle owns lots and lots of companies. Which also plays into my point that personal choice is so insignificant when up against monsters like Nestle that own so much power.

In short, studies like these can provide some helpful data but they do also miss many important pieces because sustainability and nutrition are such complex topics that do not come with easy answers. I also take all studies with a grain of salt because they are all going to still work under the assumption of a capitalist world. My perspective is anti-capitalist and about an uprooting of our relationship to food and agriculture. Under a capitalist system the best we can do is harm reduction and based on trends of the food market I do not see that vegan diets make a material difference. Rather I promote choices that uplift community food, pressure changes to industry norms including legislative pressure, and socialist activism that benefits people and in turn the animals we live next to. Overproduction and overconsumption are real issues.

I'd like to offer my own studies and references but looking through these has used up all my spoons. My recommendations on books though are Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and Cows Save The Planet by Judith D. Schwartz.

Yan! Si hcs when👀

Ah man. ovo Though lol

Clingy.

Would be more of a submissive and manipulative type.

Stalks you quietly through media, knows your daily routine pretty well if you two talk a lot or at certain times.

Will steal your clothes more.

Plays up his intimidation factor when someone tries to flirt with you in front of him if he thinks it would work, if not, then he's clinging and playing up either not feeling good or something to get you to pay attention to him and maybe leave with him.

If you're already in a relationship: This only tends to happen if you cheat on him or suddenly break up with him for someone else and he lets himself become overly obsessive about WHY it happened. Didn't he do everything right? What can he do better? Especially if y'all were together for years, he'd be heartbroken since all the Si's tend to fall HARD.

Could also just be manipulated to give into being a yan with his partner tbh. At the end of the day- he just wants to be loved....forever ovo....

Wouldn't hurt you but would break things when he's REALLY mad. Will apologize about it and love bomb you afterwards while also doing nice things to make up for it.

Is strong enough on his own, but his weapon of choice would be a sledgehammer.

Obsessive ovo

*calculator noises* Assuming Adamant nature like Kyurem, 0 EVs, 31 IVs, @ Lv.100…

641 HP 589 Attack 536 Defense 482 Sp.Atk 536 Sp.Def 536 Speed

... Complete. Fucking. Annihilation.

Pretty much yeah. ovo

Do note that I decided Taiji's stats on a few factors:

In the lore of the Tao Trio, it specifically states that the original dragon was split into 3... and all 3 Pokémon have stat totals between 660 and 700. So I figured the original dragon had to be one hell of a powerhouse, but I didn't want them at MAX stats (that's 1560 btw) but close.

And that in Kyurem's Pokedex entries, it tells that his power is 'constantly leaking out' and that he literally had to freeze himself to keep it contained. Like. Fucking hell that's metal as hell?? So I figured Kyurem's 'potential' power had to be something pretty devastating.

(It's also why I kept hinting that Taiji can't be 'out' long since they're just too damn strong rofl )

Additional Fees: Consider any additional costs that may arise, such as consultation fees, follow-up appointments, or additional tests that may be recommended based on the Harmony Test results.

October's Very Own, often abbreviated as OVO, originated from a deep-rooted connection between Drake and his team.

Stepping into Sneakerhead Paradise: A Glimpse into the World’s Most Outrageously Expensive Kicks

By Mike Savage, New Canaan collector of sneakers

Forget diamonds, folks. The real treasures these days are nestled between toes and secured with fancy laces. Welcome to the wacky world of rare sneakers, where a single shoe can cost more than your used car and a complete collection might fetch you a small island.

The niche collector category actually boasts a variety of global collector communities around the world. But every unique collector shoe has a unique value to the collector in all of us.

Buckle up, sneakerheads and curious onlookers alike, as we take a hilarious romp through some of the most valuable kicks ever to grace asphalt (or, more likely, pristine display cases).

Here are some of my favorite sneaker stories.

1. The Moon Shoe: Giant Leap for Sneakerkind (and Your Wallet)

Moon Shoe sneaker

Imagine a shoe so rare, it predates the internet (gasp!). That’s the moon shoe, a 1972 prototype crafted by Bill Bowerman, the co-founder of Nike, using his wife’s waffle iron. Yes, you read that right. Waffles. Only 12 pairs were ever made, and one recently snagged a cool $437,500 at an auction. Talk about sole-searching! Mike savage New Canaan

2. Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”: His Airness, His Kicks, His Millions

Air Jordan 1 Chicago sneaker

Michael Jordan’s iconic “Chicago” Air Jordan 1s are like the Mona Lisa of sneakers. Released in 1985, they were banned by the NBA for being “too colorful,” which, of course, only boosted their mystique. Today, a pristine pair can set you back a casual $100,000. Just remember, these babies are for admiring, not slam dunking.

3. Kanye West’s Air Yeezy 1 “Prototype”: From Grammy Stage to Auction Block

Kanye West Air Yeezy 1 Prototype sneaker

Before Kanye became a fashion god (debatable, we know), he was just a rapper with a killer shoe deal. His Air Yeezy 1 prototypes, the ones he wore at the 2008 Grammys, are now sneaker holy grails. One pair fetched a whopping $1.8 million in 2021. So, next time you see Kanye rocking some outrageous kicks, remember, he could be walking on a small fortune.

4. Nike Dunk SB Low Paris Bernard Buffet: When Art Meets Soles

Nike Dunk SB Low Paris Bernard Buffet sneaker

These Dunks aren’t just sneakers; they’re tiny masterpieces. Created in collaboration with the French artist Bernard Buffet, only 200 pairs exist, each featuring his signature swirling brushstrokes. And the price tag? A cool $90,000. Talk about expensive feet!

5. Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordans: Bling for Your Soles (and Your Bank Account)

Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordan sneaker

If you’re looking for sneakers that scream “I’m rich and fabulous,” then look no further than the solid gold OVO x Air Jordans. Dripping in 24k gold and diamonds, these beauties were a gift from Drake to his October’s Very Own co-founder Oliver El-Khatib. Price tag? A cool $2 million. But hey, at least they’ll never rust!

So, why are these sneakers so valuable? It’s a cocktail of factors: limited production, cultural significance, historical importance, and a healthy dose of hype. They’re like tiny time capsules, capturing a moment in sneaker (and sometimes pop culture) history. Plus, let’s be honest, there’s a certain thrill in owning something so rare and coveted. It’s like having your own personal mini-museum on your feet. savage new Canaan

But before you start raiding your piggy bank for a pair of moon shoes, remember: these sneakers are for the one percent. For the rest of us, there’s a whole world of amazing (and affordable) kicks out there waiting to be discovered. So, lace up your trusty sneaks, hit the pavement, and create your own sneaker adventure. Just don’t step on any million-dollar masterpieces along the way!

And hey, if you ever do find yourself with a spare $2 million lying around, feel free to send a pair of solid gold Jordans my way. I promise to take good care of them. (With kid gloves, of course.)

Sports fan experience, media or service enhancement at a sports venue.

Yuksel et al. (2021) believes fan experiences are a series of activities or engagements that fans go through at a sports event. Examples of these include fan zones, met and greet with players and the Super Bowl half time show. All these engagements aim to build a sense of community, enhance excitement and value fans wanting more from each experience (Namethe et al., 2021).

Academic perspective on sports fan experience have identified various ways to enrich fan experience through the technological and media methods (Toder Alon et al., 2022). Modern research has shown that, fans are more engaged and connected to sports through the impact of technology such as the large video screens, virtual reality screens and interactive displays at sports venues (Rooney, 2019). These enhancements are aimed at creating more unique immersive and interactive experiences for fans. It contributes to the unforgettable game-day atmosphere and an environment of socialisation.

Other academic perspectives on fan experiences hinges on factors such as comfort seating options, entertainment and accessibility options. Areas like food and beverage areas, sensory and gaming rooms all contributes to creating a unique fan experience (Glebova et al., 2023).

From a media standpoint, fan experiences at a sport venue involves using various media platforms, portfolios and technologies to create an interactive environment for patrons. We can see examples of these in major sports venue such as SoFi stadium, MCG and the Santigo Bernabeu where large screens provide fans with replays and engaging contents (Waters, 2024). These are strategically set up to enhance fan and game-day experiences. The media perspective also agrees with the use of social media to allow fans share their experiences at sport events. There is fan generated content through social media such as reels, tweets, photos and videos. This school of thoughts also center around personalised media experiences such as offering accessories for visually impaired patrons or patrons with various disabilities. This aims to curate individual fan experiences based on preference and abilities.

Ultimately, both academic and media perspectives on sports fan experiences focuses on the importance of using technology and media platforms to enrich fan experiences at sport venues. It is aimed at creating a more dynamic, inclusive, immersive and engaging game-day environment.

The academic standpoint emphases on how enhancements at sports venue generally contribute to the enjoyment of the game by fans. It bridges the gap between fans and their favourite sports, players or coach by providing a point of connection. The use of media platforms, video screens, seating options and various accessories foster a sense of community and create a more personalised experiences for fans.

Stepping into Sneakerhead Paradise: A Glimpse into the World’s Most Outrageously Expensive Kicks

By Mike Savage, New Canaan collector of sneakers

Forget diamonds, folks. The real treasures these days are nestled between toes and secured with fancy laces. Welcome to the wacky world of rare sneakers, where a single shoe can cost more than your used car and a complete collection might fetch you a small island.

The niche collector category actually boasts a variety of global collector communities around the world. But every unique collector shoe has a unique value to the collector in all of us.

Buckle up, sneakerheads and curious onlookers alike, as we take a hilarious romp through some of the most valuable kicks ever to grace asphalt (or, more likely, pristine display cases).

Here are some of my favorite sneaker stories.

1. The Moon Shoe: Giant Leap for Sneakerkind (and Your Wallet)

Moon Shoe sneaker

Imagine a shoe so rare, it predates the internet (gasp!). That’s the moon shoe, a 1972 prototype crafted by Bill Bowerman, the co-founder of Nike, using his wife’s waffle iron. Yes, you read that right. Waffles. Only 12 pairs were ever made, and one recently snagged a cool $437,500 at an auction. Talk about sole-searching! Mike Savage New Canaan

2. Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”: His Airness, His Kicks, His Millions

Air Jordan 1 Chicago sneaker

Michael Jordan’s iconic “Chicago” Air Jordan 1s are like the Mona Lisa of sneakers. Released in 1985, they were banned by the NBA for being “too colorful,” which, of course, only boosted their mystique. Today, a pristine pair can set you back a casual $100,000. Just remember, these babies are for admiring, not slam dunking.

3. Kanye West’s Air Yeezy 1 “Prototype”: From Grammy Stage to Auction Block

Kanye West Air Yeezy 1 Prototype sneaker

Before Kanye became a fashion god (debatable, we know), he was just a rapper with a killer shoe deal. His Air Yeezy 1 prototypes, the ones he wore at the 2008 Grammys, are now sneaker holy grails. One pair fetched a whopping $1.8 million in 2021. So, next time you see Kanye rocking some outrageous kicks, remember, he could be walking on a small fortune.

4. Nike Dunk SB Low Paris Bernard Buffet: When Art Meets Soles

These Dunks aren’t just sneakers; they’re tiny masterpieces. Created in collaboration with the French artist Bernard Buffet, only 200 pairs exist, each featuring his signature swirling brushstrokes. And the price tag? A cool $90,000. Talk about expensive feet!

5. Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordans: Bling for Your Soles (and Your Bank Account)

Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordan sneaker

If you’re looking for sneakers that scream “I’m rich and fabulous,” then look no further than the solid gold OVO x Air Jordans. Dripping in 24k gold and diamonds, these beauties were a gift from Drake to his October’s Very Own co-founder Oliver El-Khatib. Price tag? A cool $2 million. But hey, at least they’ll never rust!

So, why are these sneakers so valuable? It’s a cocktail of factors: limited production, cultural significance, historical importance, and a healthy dose of hype. They’re like tiny time capsules, capturing a moment in sneaker (and sometimes pop culture) history. Plus, let’s be honest, there’s a certain thrill in owning something so rare and coveted. It’s like having your own personal mini-museum on your feet. By Mike Savage, New Canaan collector of sneakers

But before you start raiding your piggy bank for a pair of moon shoes, remember: these sneakers are for the one percent. For the rest of us, there’s a whole world of amazing (and affordable) kicks out there waiting to be discovered. So, lace up your trusty sneaks, hit the pavement, and create your own sneaker adventure. Just don’t step on any million-dollar masterpieces along the way!

And hey, if you ever do find yourself with a spare $2 million lying around, feel free to send a pair of solid gold Jordans my way. I promise to take good care of them. (With kid gloves, of course.)

Transtornos alimentares

Considera-se uma disfunção ou um transtorno alimentar qualquer alteração relacionada à alimentação de alguém. Esta alteração pode ser devida a factores metabólicos ou psicológicos. A faixa etária mais atingida é a adolescência, tanto devido às adaptações sofridas no corpo quanto a factores sociais e emocionais envolvendo a convivência na família, na escola, no trabalho, etc. Porém, outras faixas etárias também são atingidas pelas mesmas doenças. As vítimas sentem-se normalmente impotentes em relação às suas vidas, sofrem de baixa auto-estima e têm uma fraca imagem do seu corpo. Usam a comida – seja a restrição da comida ao ponto de passarem fome, o ou excesso de comida ao ponto de ficarem obesos –, como forma de ganhar controlo sobre alguns aspectos das suas vidas.

Alguns transtornos alimentares: Anorexia/bulimia A anorexia é frequentemente associada à bulimia, podendo ocorrerem ao mesmo tempo em um indivíduo. A bulimia apresenta sintomas similares aos da anorexia e é ainda mais comum, podendo atingir 1 em 4 adolescentes (moderadamente). Estes distúrbios alimentares vêm de uma insatisfação com a aparência física. A pessoa olha-se sempre como se estivesse acima do peso, o que a torna dependente de uma vida com privações, na procura de atingir o peso ideal. Ambos têm natureza psicológica e devem ser tratados ao mesmo tempo por um médico especialista e um psicólogo. Compulsão alimentar A compulsão alimentar é um transtorno alimentar comum, em que um indivíduo consome regularmente uma grande quantidade de comida de uma vez só, ou «depenica» constantemente, mesmo quando não tem fome ou se sente fisicamente desconfortável por comer tanto. Ortorexia A ortorexia é um transtorno alimentar recentemente diagnosticado, que surge quando a pessoa se torna obsessiva quanto aos padrões daquilo que come. Ao contrário da anorexia ou bulimia, a pessoa permite-se comer, mas fica tão obcecada com o que come que todos os seus pensamentos ficam ocupados com a dieta. Permitem-se apenas alimentos saudáveis e escrutinam o conteúdo nutricional de cada elemento que ingerem. Calorias, vitaminas e nutrientes tornam-se o ponto focal da comida e qualquer coisa que contenha o mínimo vestígio do que está na lista do “não é permitido” não é consumido. Os seguintes alimentos podem ajudar na recuperação de um transtorno alimentar: ● Alimentos integrais concedem nutrientes que revitalizam o corpo. O pão de centeio integral, arroz integral, fruta e legumes frescos e carnes magras darão aos corpos desgastados um aumento de energia. As comidas processadas oferecem açúcar, xarope de milho com alto teor de frutose, gordura, cereais refinados e muito pouco no que diz respeito a nutrientes. ● O cálcio presente em produtos lácteos magros e vegetais folhados ajudam a fortalecer os ossos e os dentes. As dietas excessivas roubam cálcio aos ossos, tornando-os frágeis. As jovens que sofrem devido a um transtorno alimentar mostraram ter uma massa óssea semelhante à de mulheres idosas. Para além do mais, vomitar em excesso destrói o esmalte dos dentes. ● Carnes magras, legumes e peixe proporcionam as proteínas necessárias das quais um corpo mal nutrido precisa. ● Os ácidos gordos do Ómega 3 encontrado no peixe, ovos e nozes, estimulam o coração. Quem sofre de anorexia corre o risco de ter problemas cardíacos e arritmia cardíaca pois o corpo não tem gordura suficiente para sustentar o funcionamento cardíaco. ● Os líquidos e sódio da água e bebidas desportivas são necessários para restabelecer o desequilíbrio de electrólitos e restituir a perda de água devido à desidratação provocada por vomitar em excesso, ou pelo uso de laxantes e de diuréticos.
