Uncanny Valley

/ʌnˌkæn.i ˈvæl.i/ noun.

A cognitive phenomenon identified by robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970, the 'Uncanny Valley' effect is an inverted bell curve signifying a general tendency of humans to experience less affinity for mechanical objects as their appearance, movements, and sounds approach human resemblance as a robot. This decline in affinity becomes discomfort because as the machine more approximates a human body and head, and peaks where the face most accurately resembles a human face while the expressions it is programmed with, not being as intricate or precise as real human expressions, create a more 'alive but inhuman' impression.
As the physical appearance, movements, expressions, and vocalizations of the robot begin to more approximate those of a human, that 'creep factor' declines until the human form, face, movements, expressions, and vocalizations (and perhaps scents, breathing patterns, and pulse) is replicated by the robot at which point human discomfort with the robot would, theoretically, vanish.
"I just met Ron DeSantis and shook his hand. It was so cold and clammy. All my hairs stood on end and I was shaking because the uncanny valley feeling he gave me... dude, I need a drink. He's not real. He's just... he's not human. No soul.... no soul... no soul. Let's get that drink. Dude? Dude, what are you looking at? Why aren't you looking at m...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! OH GOD NO! YOU'RE RON DESANTIS!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH......."

"Honey?" *Shaking him* "Honey, wake up!"

*Waking up* "Whu... whu? Omg, baby... it was just a dream. I was with Brad and we just met Ron Desantis, and he had this wicked strong uncanny valley vibe... and then... and then Brad was Ron DeSantis.... I..."

"Shhhh honey, it's okay. It was just a dream. I'm here now."

"Is that Dozer under the covers with us?"

"Yeah honey." *too Dozer under covers* "Hey Dozie! Who's a good boy! See honey? It's Dozer."
*Throws cover off*

"Hi Buddy! I'm Ron DeSantis and I eat children.... 's textbooks. I mean meet, uhhh. oh, 'yeetie'. I 'yeetie' children's..."

Happy Valley

A happy valley is a ‘place’ where people go when they are stoned/high. It’s a place where things spin, things are happy, very vibrant colours appear, and there are a lot of different terms for this but the most common is definitely a happy valley.

There are a few meanings for this term, some of them being inappropriate.

However, it is mainly to describe what kind of ‘world’ people enter when they become high on drugs.
Apparently Lacey got high, and she kept saying that she was in the happy valley. We weren’t quite sure what that meant.”
“Oh, its the place where people go when they’re stoned, everything spins it’s very vibrant and happy! Tell her to be careful.”

Valley Stream

Quite possibly the most cucked village on the face of the Earth. Tax dollars come from mostly white aging people, but the overwhelming majority of youth using the schools are black and brown. The taxes are incredibly high, too. It's old white people paying a lot of money so that white kids get harassed and bullied while the liberal educators do nothing about it.

Imagine paying a very high tax so that your kids get bullied for being the wrong skin color while the teachers do nothing about it because they're taught this is just retribution for slavery and past discrimination.

If you're white, you need to leave this place. Or at the very least, send your kids to private schools (but then you'd be paying for two educations; paying for your own kids through private funds and by way of exuberant taxes paying for kids who are taught to hate your kids). Best to just jump ship to another town and not allow your children to put up with the psychological and physical abuse of being a hated minority.
Dude, you're raising your kids in Valley Stream? That's child abuse!

Christmas Valley

Little country town in south central Oregon where there’s vast fields of green. A destination where the locals know each other by name and famous for cowboy dinner tree. As old as time and sightseeing from beginning of time.

Don’t come here we don’t want you here.

The sand dunes in Christmas Valley are super fun to ride on.
