Copensation

The act of trying to convince others that the position one is in isn't as bad as it is.

Copensation/Copensating - "Dude trust me just put in 500 in GameStop, it's a sure thing. Just cause I'm down 1k right now doesn't mean it won't go up!"

"No, you're copensating."

Compensive

Adj. thinking deeply or wistfully about one's relationships

My compensive thoughts made me doubt if what we had was real. Break ups put people in a compensive mood.

Condensate System

A system that has cooled to the point where its components lose individual identity and begin behaving as a single quantum entity—a macroscopic manifestation of microscopic coherence. Condensate systems are what happens when parts become so aligned that they function as one. Perfectly synchronized teams are condensate systems—individual egos dissolve into collective flow. Deeply aligned relationships can become condensate systems—two people thinking, feeling, acting as one. Religious congregations in moments of collective transcendence become condensate systems—individual boundaries blur into shared experience. Condensate systems are rare, precious, and fragile—warm them slightly and they dissolve back into separate particles. They're the closest most of us come to experiencing unity.

Example: "The jazz quartet played for three hours, and somewhere in the second set, they became a condensate system. Individual egos dissolved, conscious thought stopped, and the music played itself through them. Later, none of them could remember who'd played what—they'd become a single quantum entity, expressing itself through four bodies. The audience felt it too. Everyone left changed, though no one could say exactly how."

compensaytion

Assorted bu**s**t "lip-service" --- i.e., empty promises or canned statements of regret dat da guilty parties verbally give you --- dat are designed to supposedly make you feel better about a loss/offense, but in reality do absolutely nothing to actually "make you whole again" financially or materially.

"Never a borrower or a lender be" is wise advice, and lessens da chance dat you'll be subjected to any compensaytion debacles!
