Secure Waiting Space

Originally opened as a "waiting space" for homeless men, the Secure Waiting Space is a Hennepin County funded overflow shelter operated by Catholic Charities. It is located at 1000 Currie Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

It houses around 150-200 men a night. The first floor of the shelter consists of thin mats on a floor, and the second floor is called Pay-for-Stay. Beds are around $4.00 a night, and men must be sober to stay on the second floor.

Shelter workers and case managers refer to Secure Waiting Space as "1000 Currie" or "Secure Waiting," but homeless people almost always call it tramp camp.

Post Wait

The act of deliberately waiting to write a post or comment, so that you can avoid commenting on it immediately after it was written. This act makes it look like you're busier than you really are, instead of revealing the fact that you are on facebook constantly.

Can also be used for texts, emails, chats etc.

Waiting Room

A place to wait for character.ai to go back up. A place every addicted c.ai user dreads. The cause of a fuck ton of campfires in c.ai’s subreddit.

c.ai users can’t handle waiting for 3 minutes in there because they want to talk to their anime gf or shit. can’t blame them though
I’ve been waiting in the Waiting Room in character.ai for so damn long. I swear the servers run on expired Wublin statues.

Waiting Simulator

"Waiting Simulator" is a term used to describe games, particularly mobile games, that utilize a mechanic of artificially delaying player progress through time-based activities, such as the hatching of an egg, the completion of a building upgrade, or the acquisition of in-game resources. This mechanic is often used to encourage players to spend real money on in-game currency or items in order to speed up the process and avoid the wait.

The term "Waiting Simulator" is used derisively, as it implies that the game is more about waiting than actually playing, and that the player's enjoyment is hindered by the constant delays. It is often used to critique the design choices of mobile games, as this mechanic can be seen as a way to increase revenue through microtransactions rather than improving the gameplay experience.

In summary, "Waiting Simulator" is a pejorative term used to describe games that prioritize time-based activities and delay player progress as a means of monetization, ultimately hindering the player's enjoyment of the game.
"I tried playing that new mobile game, but it turned out to be a total waiting simulator. I spent more time waiting for my buildings to upgrade than actually playing the game."

"The game was enjoyable at first, but once I hit the paywall, it turned into a waiting simulator. I had to wait for days to get enough resources to advance, or pay real money to speed up the process."
"I don't like games that use the waiting simulator mechanic. It feels like a cheap way to make money and takes away from the overall gaming experience."
