Adjustment

I'm trying hard to think of you as a gangster now, I dont want to underestimate you. It's an adjustment, you really were a dork 25 to 30 years ago, but some people believe that people change, and you try and adjust to how their beliefs are impacting everything and everyone around them, as they become their evil alter ego and are no longer who they were growing up any more.

Public Adjuster

Ambulance chasers. A mostly unnecessary profession where someone "represents" the policyholder rather than the insurance company. They don't really do anything besides add a bunch of bullsh*t line items in Xactimate to try and "blow up" a claim. The end result is the claim extending for months and months and only the public adjuster benefiting financially, while completely screwing over the insured.
When my house burned down, a public adjuster solicited his services to me. Since I wasn't a moron, I told him to go f*ck over someone else.

True Adjusted Ratio

The ratio of upvotes awarded to a commenter compared to upvotes awarded to an original poster (OP) weighted for each user's follower count. TAR adjusts for engagement for both parties. True Adjusted Ratio is calculated as follows:

TAR = (Folₒₚ)/(Fol꜀) x (UV꜀)/(UVₒₚ), where a value >1 is considered a "W"

Strengths:
- TAR reflects the true impact of a comment in unbalanced interactions. Comments with fewer followers are augmented, further amplifying OP's humiliation.

- It is possible for a commenter with fewer followers than OP to have fewer upvotes than OP and still obtain a "W".

Limitations:
- True Adjusted Ratio assumes followers of each account are supportive. It does not take into account "hate-followers".
- TAR fails to take virality into account. A comment is more likely to receive engagement during the time when a post is most viral, after which engagement in both original post and comment deteriorate at different geometric rates.
- TAR calculation does not account for downvotes or tertiary responses. While TAR is a more accurate measure in social media spaces with upvote-only rating systems (e.g. Twitter), ratio calculations may be redundant in spaces which use an upvote/downvote system (e.g. Reddit). Tertiary reactions that are ambiguous (e.g. Facebook) are not factored into this calculation.
- "Premium account" algorithms (such as Elon Musk's blue-check model on Twitter) artificially alter views, skewing engagement in favor of paid subscribers.
True Adjusted Ratio: TAR
OP: Original Post
Folₒₚ: Followers of OP
UVₒₚ: Upvotes for OP
Fol꜀: Followers of commenter
UV꜀: Upvotes for commenter

If a user with 100 followers (Folₒₚ = 100) receives 40 upvotes (UVₒₚ = 40) and a comment from a user with 1000 followers (Fol꜀ = 1000) receives 50 upvotes (UV꜀ = 50), traditional calculation would consider OP "ratioed" using traditional calculation:

R = UV꜀/UVₒₚ = 50/40 = 1.25
R > 1, thus OP would be ratioed

However, since OP's follower count is 1/10th that of the commenter's, the True Adjusted Ratio (TAR) is calculated as follows:

TAR = (Folₒₚ)/(Fol꜀) x (UV꜀)/(UVₒₚ) = 100 / 1000 x 50 / 40 = 0.1 x 1.25 = 0.125,
TAR < 1, thus OP would not be ratioed.

Adjustable Wrench

Instead of using a proper wrench, John used the adjustable wrench. His use of the nut fucker, despite multiple contrary instructions, rounded out the bolt head. Now no one can get it off.
