The psychological defense mechanism of projection (taking something of ourselves and placing it outside of us, onto others, which can be positive or negative) as applied to text messages, emails, and social network chat windows. The resulting social phenomenon is countless misunderstandings leading to conflict and embarrassment in interpersonal relationships and in professional settings.
Angela and Charles were texting back and forth. When Angela said she was "hot", Charles, through the psychological process of protextion, placed his internal desires for Angela onto the text and interpreted her text to mean she was aroused, when really she was actually hot because it was just a damn hot day.

Get the sheet protection mug.Starting in May 2020, demonstrations over the police killing of George Floyd have been held in the city of Portland, Oregon, concurrent with protests in other cities around the United States and around the world. As of July 2020, many of the protests, which have been held every day since May 28, have drawn more than 1,000 participants.
Some of the protests in Portland have been peaceful, but some have involved injury, vandalism, arson, looting, and heated confrontations with police, sometimes involving injury to protesters and police, declaration of riot, and use of tear gas and other less-lethal weapons.
In early July, the federal government sent in law enforcement officers, including some not easily identified as such and some in unmarked vehicles, to Portland to "safeguard federal property", but engaged in tactics–such as seizing protesters not on or near federal property–that were criticized by Portland's mayor and most of the state's congressional delegation. Several lawsuits were filed, including suits by and on behalf of journalists and legal observers against local and federal law enforcement, and suits by the state against several federal agencies.

Get the Portland Protests mug.This is the protocol to end all conflict in the world today. Essentially, if anything has not been claimed ownership of or is contested, the rightful owner is the one who exclaims Dibs. This can pertain to anything that is but is not limited too: Consumable items, permanent items, roles, antiquities, land, and in rare cases people.
Now there are some amendments to this protocol that must be enforced:
1. You can only call dibs on a certain thing if it is within eyesight of the person calling dibs. No calling dibs on the passenger seat of a vehicle in the checkout, as it must be called upon entering the parking lot.
2. Dibs shall only be called when two or more parties have a claim to that item. This can be through verbal or non-verbal clues in the context of the social setting. If someone calls dibs when there is clearly no other person who wants to lay claim to it, it disembellishes the sanctity of the dibs protocol. Dibs is not a word to use in vain.
3. Just to go into further detail on the dibs protocol applying to people. This pertains to calling dibs on the athletic kids in kickball and other games in P.E class where the teacher cruelly picks the two physically acoustic kids as the team captains.
4. In the event that the item that is being called dibs is a public item (ex: classroom seat), dibs must be renewed daily. Either that or until one person has called consecutive dibs on that item for seven days straight. This gives that person full rights to that object
