irreversible consequence

A consequence that cannot be reversed.

Some consequences are evitable, such as preventing or reducing the extent of an injury by wearing a seat-belt, or preventing a pregnancy by using a condom.

However, other consequences are inevitable, such as being disliked after saying something offensive.

And an irreversible consequence is one no one can go back in time and prevent from taking place because the action which produced it was executed.

The only way to prevent any type of consequence is by not executing an action (known to produce certain types of consequences).

Nonetheless, not doing anything might also generate some type of foreseeable or unforeseeable consequence.

undermove

To move one's body less than one needs to move it to be healthy.

All the conveniences Americans have at their disposal makes them undermove. To not walk—which is what our bodies are designed to do a lot of—I used to drive three blocks to the grocery store. No wonder so many people wind up getting knee surgery. Undermoving atrophies muscles.

salaried slave

A funny way to call an employee.

Slave owners figured out that they can exploit human beings more profitably by tricking them and enslaving them covertly. The trick works like this. Employers post a help wanted ad, interview candidates and hire the ones they see will be more productive. They pay each employee a salary. By hiring a worker employers, some of who are in reality slave masters, have shifted the burden of maintaining a slave from themselves to the employee because now the employee is the one who must obtain his or her own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. That is what salaries are for, and that's why some 'Help Wanted' ads should really be called 'Slave Wanted' ads, some employees a 'salaried slave,' and some employers 'slave masters.'
