Agora Road

This chat is dedicated to the discussion of the following: crypto alt-rightism, hero worship of the unabomber, theology, video games, and anime tiddies. We don't do vaporwave here, kiddo

"That was totally Agora Road of you, to do that!" - when someone e.g. tries to apply logic to human behaviour.

crash the mall

Word that should, could be used instead of better-off vague "third places" (I hate that name).

The loss of malls to crash (crash the mall-ing) been disaster to human race. While it is safer, all joy is gone...

Ultracrepidarianism

What's a good name for the phenomenon where a talented researcher in one field calls people ignorant about a field the researcher doesn't actually know anything about and is actively misrepresenting?

Gen X 'Catastrophe'

Coming from (in)famous greentext repost, marks state where (wrongly) it is stated that "Gen X has it too good" and couldn't cope with it. Examples provided, were "1999 and Gen X Disillusionment" - citing Office Space, Matrix, Fight Club and maybe even Taxi Driver. While the reading of the example was more of "wtf, we had it best, no chit-chat, just work and no socialization, do job head out..." (akin to hyped-autism, than "open-offices DEI-disaster") than "I hate my office cubicles and meaningless rat-race job and life"...

Similar to Millennial Chiller, Millennieitis.

Adam: "Do you have bad tumblrism example I can use as meme?"
Beth: "Better! I have Gen X 'Catastrophe' !"
Adam: "How so?"
Beth: "GXC is... when you think how good you had it as "generation" akin to nowadays, in past; only to miss one important remark-"
Adam: "Yeah?"
Beth: "Imagine: you enjoy cubicle work for that you don't have to chit-chat!"
Adam: "Why not WFH then?"
Beth: "I guess they miss human contact..."
Adam: "Oh, so generally, it is missing 'mark', isn't it!?"
Beth: "Got it! UrbDic is tho more verbose on it!"
Adam: "I see! Good catch. Thanks!"
Beth: "Sure!"
