What does that term mean 🥴 ? The only way I've heard it used was "you a better META the bookie and pay him or your knee caps will swing the other way"
Not sure if a serious question, but I'll answer.

[/font][/size][/color]
1. [color=rgb(19 79 230 / var(--tw-text-opacity))]Meta[/color][/size][/iurl] means about the thing itself. It's seeing the thing from a higher perspective instead of from within the thing, like being [color=rgb(19 79 230 / var(--tw-text-opacity))]self-aware[/color][/size][/iurl].

1. There's a lot of bad examples here, so I'll fix those.

[color=rgb(19 79 230 / var(--tw-text-opacity))]Making a movie
[/iurl] about the film industry isn't meta. Making a movie about making movies is.

Using a [color=rgb(19 79 230 / var(--tw-text-opacity))]footnote[/color] to explain another footnote isn't meta. Using a footnote to explain what footnotes are is meta.

Metaphysics, probably the most common use of meta, means that instead of talking about the physics of the real world, you're talking about the physics itself (for example, why should there even be gravity).[/i][/font][/size][/color]


Now, in this case the term is meant to refer to the metaverse. Which is basically defined as a virtualized online version of the universe where we can all interact with each other digitally despite not being in the same place physically. Which is kinda a terrible use of the term "meta" because it's not self-referential with respect to the universe. It's just a boring VR video game.

Thanks for the well wishes. Can’t wait to get out, but I’ll be on a restricted diet for awhile.

Bit of personal news, been in the hospital since Sunday with diverticulitis.

No Sunday at the park, that’s for sure. About to be released. Wish me luck!
Brother had that and it was painful according to him

Landmark downtown building to become homeless agency's HQ | Urbanize Atlanta
Landmark downtown building to become homeless agency's HQ | Urbanize Atlanta

Speaking of homeless efforts, this sounds like a good one, to  me, they must have some funding.  I might send some more.

Plans call for turning the 111-year-old Odd Fellows Building at 250 Auburn Avenue into a range of stable housing and the headquarters of Georgia Works, a donor-funded nonprofit that helps homeless men transition into more productive members of society.

According to Invest Atlanta, another component of the renovation would include four retail spaces at street level with below-market leasing rates, an effort to increase Auburn Avenue’s vibrancy and help local businesses.

History | Georgia Works

I read some more and did donate to them.

Yeah, everyone just stay healthy, please.  Each and every one of you is an important part of this place.  Even __insert name__.
