  مرحبا ...(Hello In Arabic), you pronounce it as "MARHABA", so good luck there :). 63 years old retired system engineer. Decided to go back to college after I had enough free time to do that. Is it, good idea, maybe not, but who cares, I do not..:) Wish the whole world peace prosperity. By the way, I am from Saudi Arabia, I know some of you would say now, "look who is talking about peace !@#$%^"....Just do not waste your time digging inside people's minds, just take the surface as is. Life always becomes much easier that way....مع السلامة ...:)

• ry commented on the word censorslop

  A recent term used in gaming, anime and other popular culture communities to describe content perceived as having its overall quality reduced by bowdlerization. Subjective ofc—a certain kind of anime fan might complain that a property is censorslop because it doesn't have enough fanservice.

  Anyway, though, an interesting evolution: I saw the term used today on Reddit to also refer to use of censorious algospeak to bypass content filters on social media: unalive, pdfile, ahh, seggs, etc.

• recognized.fm commented on the word recognition economy

  Definition

  recognition economy (noun)

  The system of industries, institutions, and markets built around being recognized and recognizing others, where recognition itself is the product. This includes awards, best-of lists, sports championships, niche tournaments, badges, certification programs, leaderboards, and the software and services that power them.

  In this economy, organizations make money by selling resources to recognition bodies, charging entry fees, selling memberships for access to badges and credentials, providing services to companies that run or participate in recognition programs, and sponsoring awards to gain attention and acquire customers.

  Participants include trophy makers, event producers, software vendors, judges, PR firms, sponsors, media outlets, and others that create and manage the promise, process, and perception of being recognized as excellent, influential, or culturally significant.

  Etymology

  recognition: from Latin recognitio, "a knowing again," from recognoscere ("to know again, recall"), from re- ("again") + cognoscere ("to get to know, recognize").

  economy: from Greek oikonomia, "household management," from oikos ("house") + nomos ("law, management").

  recognition economy: a 2020s compound phrase coined by Recognized to describe the business ecosystem behind awards, best-of lists, sports championships, niche tournaments, badges, and the software and services that support them. Ehe common thread that connects platforms, systems, and other forms of social proof, from employee rewards and recognitions to the Olympics and World Cup to the Oscars to online badges and beyond.

  Examples

  1. Awards campaigns

  Studios, brands, and agencies spend on PR, consulting, and "For Your Consideration" style campaigns to maximize nominations and wins, turning recognition into a budgeted line item with measurable ROI in revenue, partnerships, and talent value.

  2. Best-of lists and rankings

  Publications, platforms, and analyst firms sell sponsorships, featured placements, and licensing of "Best Of" badges and seals, while companies use these rankings in marketing and sales to win deals and justify pricing.

  3. Sports championships and niche tournaments

  Leagues, federations, and event organizers monetize recognition through entry fees, broadcast rights, sponsorships, and merchandising, while athletes and teams use titles and rankings to secure contracts, endorsements, and appearances.

  4. Badges, certifications, and leaderboards

  Training providers, platforms, and communities issue badges, certificates, and public leaderboards that drive paid enrollments, renewals, and premium tiers, while individuals and companies display them to signal status and capability.

  5. Software and infrastructure for recognition

  Vendors provide nomination platforms, voting systems, judging dashboards, trophy and medal production, and data services that power the entire recognition stack, earning revenue from fees, subscriptions, and add-on services.
