q359's definitions
Stuff that is not medicine, and has no medicinal properties, but conspiracy theorists and other dumbasses insist is the REAL medicine, because the entire healthcare field is a sham, or something, and the knowledge of people from 500-1000 years ago when they didn't even have toilets is superior to modern science.
Don't listen to those Big Pharma quacks telling you to get radiation treatment for your cancer, here, drink this soup of tree bark and lemongrass, it's alternative medicine.

Get the breast friend mug.A classic, all-purpose insult for a stupid person that can be used many ways, this particular definition writer prefers to use it for people who do idiotic things that they should know better than to do, and which, due to their own stupidity, end up with them getting hurt, getting suckered out of their money or otherwise taken advantage of, or suffering other ill fortune. People who brought it on themselves.
Some people think the term originated with Beavis and Butt-head, but that's actually not true, that show just popularized the term. It's at least as old as Star Trek IV (1986), and probably older than that. While the show That '70s Show came out later, and is fictional, the character of Red Forman in that show was also known for using the term and so, if the show is an accurate depiction of the time, then people were using the term in the '70s as well.

I read an article about this dude who got drunk, put a lit firecracker in a beer bottle and shoved it up his rectum, and now he doesn't have an anus or a colon. What a dumbass.

Get the dumbass mug.The ban hammer is a power that website moderators have access to, that makes them feel as if they are dictators of the universe because they run a tiny little corner of the Internet, and that they wield like a club, to silence and intimidate any user who doesn't bow down to their fake Internet authority, or questions their decisions, which are always infallible, of course, because they are gods.

Get the ban hammer mug.Postmodernism is a philosophy that holds that there are no such things as truth, facts, or objective reality, and such concepts are oppressive tools of the white male power structure. A common postmodernist refrain is "Perception is reality". Rather than there being an objective reality that everyone is perceiving through lenses that can and do contain distortions, postmodernism teaches that reality is different for every person, and there is no such thing as a false narrative. An old expression says that "There are three sides to every story: yours, mine, and the cold, hard truth". Postmodernism gets rid of that third side. Everybody's worldview, right down to the mentally disturbed person screaming on the subway about the end times, is equally valid. Young-earth creationists, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, and Q-Anon cultists are taken seriously, and have followings, because of postmodernism. Before postmodernism, these people would have been roundly dismissed as idiots, and rational minds would set the record straight.
We went from there being three news channels that admittedly told a slanted narrative, to one where there are millions of "news sources" to choose from to fit your own personal narrative. And we went from one stifling, oppressive (usually religiously-driven) set of moral standards, to NO moral standards whatsoever, and complete moral relativism. Because no answers is better than one answer, and you must NEVER tell a person that they're wrong.

When I was a kid I was foolishly taught that the sky was blue, but now, thanks to postmodernism, I know that the sky is whatever color a person believes it to be.

Get the postmodernism mug.A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!
