What does “parasocial” mean to you?

I feel like there are a loooooot of different understandings of this term.

The actual definition is:
Relating to or involving a one-sided emotional connection with someone (especially a celebrity or fictional character) whom one does not know personally.

But a lot of people use this term in vanillas chat when anyone gives their opinion on a streamer or an opinion on the way someone’s playing a game. To me that doesn’t really fit the definition. If anything I think intensely defending a streamer from criticism like you know them personally fits the definition more. Am I misunderstanding something?

It it bad that I eat so much nutritional yeast?

I make a vegan pasta sauce that’s mostly tofu and nooch and I eat it almost every day. I use a whole bag of Trader Joe’s nutritional yeast and it makes about 6-7 servings that I eat throughout the week. I just told my boyfriend that there’s a whole bag of nooch in my pasta sauce and he freaked out saying it’s horrible for my body to eat that much. I never really thought it could be bad and thought it was pretty much only a good thing to eat a bunch because of the extra protein and vitamins. I do get frequent headaches and after looking it up that could be because of the excessive nooch. Anybody else had any negative side effects from eating too much fortified nooch?
