Meg episode

An episode of a TV series in which the plot revolves around a boring or unloved side character. This term comes from a Family Guy episode in which the main character, Peter Griffin breaks the fourth wall and makes a reference to the phenomena by apologetically informing the audience that this was to be another "Meg episode".

Lenae Epes

I love Lenae! I have been friends with her since fifth grade. She is nothing, but a kind, goofy, loud, non-judgemental person. She is extremely solid and cares deeply about others around her. She has a very beautiful smile and an optimistic outlook on life. She knows how to light up a room with her positivity. She has always been a trustworthy person that never has started any drama with no one. I am thankful I have her in my life because she is honestly one of the only real people that have never tried to sabotage or hurt me in any way.

Epistemic Status

Culture of origin: lesswrong-adjacent blogging communities

The epistemic status is a short disclaimer at the top of a post that explains how confident the author is in the contents of the post, how much reputation the author is willing to stake on it, what sorts of tests the thesis has passed.

It should give a reader a sense of how seriously they should take the post.
It had "Epistemic Status: Wild off-the-cuff speculation" so I didn't bother to read it. It seemed entertaining, just didn't have time.

He said "Epistemic Status: Would bet at 30:1 odds in favour of the thesis and I probably one of the top 100 theorists in the intersection of the relevant fields" but it still seemed completely insane to me. Heads better roll if/when it turns out to be wrong. Like, I mean it, he should lose all of his social capital. People should stop reading his blog and his eigenkarma should be reset (If he's somehow right though I will be very impressed)

Beach Episode

A standard filler episode in many Animes. A beach episode features characters on a spontaneous trip to a beach or pool with little plot progression.
Two characters just died last episode, the main characters were deeply saddened. The next episode features a completely spontaneous trip to a beach or pool; beach episode!
