In psychology, cognitive burden asymmetry refers to the unequal distribution of cognitive load and its effects across different parts of the brain or on different cognitive functions. This asymmetry is evident in brain lateralization, where hemispheres specialize in certain tasks, and can become more pronounced under high cognitive load, potentially affecting performance and leading to biased processing or fatigue. For example, tasks may be processed more efficiently or with a greater "burden" on one side of the brain depending on the task's nature and the individual's specific neural wiring.
When I tried to multitask during finals, I felt the cognitive burden asymmetry kick in—my left brain was struggling with math while my right brain was zoning out on my playlist!

Get the Your Burden mug.When your last child moves from home to go to college leaving the parents alone for the first time in years to explore the freedom and bliss of their next stage in life. Happier version of "Empty Nesters" which elicits a connotation of sadness and loss which is the opposite of a couple who is Free Birdin'
Mom and Dad are Free Birdin' (Burden) in Mexico...again. They so seem happy and more relaxed since I left for college. I wonder why?

Get the Free Birdin' (Burden) mug.That's not what's happening here and what IS happening here is that you're being obtuse WITH ME about a burden of proof that you don't actually ever have to meet when it comes to your own religion and you're putting on this charade for everyone because you don't like that I said you have a fat, pink pussy.
Hym "So you're applying to burden of proof to me that you yourself never have to meet and a vapid, antagonistic skepticism about something that is clearly actually happening to me AND this is purely motivated by your own religious moral confusion regarding your own religion. But it's nice to see that you can just change your religious beliefs over night as though it's a hat or a t-shirt and the sole impetus for that change in your faith is nothing more that a fat, catholic, cock getting shoved into an equally fat, pink pussy."
