May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A guy I met on Wild. Someone you will fall in love with when you see him. You text each other everyday. A guy that wants your virginity and purity. So you like him so much that you take a train to Tucson just to give it to him. Deep down you feel that he deserves it. You know that he will never hurt you like other guys. You know that he’s a good person. After giving my virginity to him, he makes you take a morning after pill, you grow attached to him. You catch feelings for him. You feel that he lovesand cares for you. He took something that you can never get back, but you feel he was the right one. You just want to be with him and one day have a baby with him. You guys both love each other. One day he tells you he is leaving to japan for the Air Force. You feel so sad and lost inside. You feel you can’t ever forget him. You feel that deep down in your heart you two will see each other and be reunited again.

An alien in the game Natural Selection. Can be rather irritating if you are on the opposing team of it. Has the ability to spit loogies of death, heal teamates and structures of it's kind, shoot out sacs filled with bile, and spin webs to catch intruders. not very capable at combat, Gorges are more adept to build and heal.
