Compromise

To come to a mutually congruent decision with a party of the opposite gender.

Something East Dayton girls see as unessesary in a relationship.

Hey Seth, I'm going shopping and you are going with me or else. You may not go do fun outdoor activities with your family because that would be compromise and us girls from East Dayton don't do that.

Compromise

Some justice and not full justice is compromise. If you buy a new car, you're not pleased if you just get some of it when you paid for the rest of it. If you buy a house, you're not pleased to get some of it, when the rest of it is missing and you paid for all of it. Justice is the same way, they'll try and give a family some justice instead of all of it when their unarmed family member is killed, then try and call it a win- win for everybody. It wasn't a win-win for George Floyd.

There's no good reason to accept a compromise with justice, since that's not true justice. They're still getting what they want when people compromise with them.

Compromise

Something people often do because they think there is no other option.

People are conditioned to compromise, and they can be unconditioned.

wrist-twist compromise

Refers to where you and another male friend are "group-spooning" with a nice gal on the beach or in bed, and she has her "lower" arm/hand (i.e., the one from the shoulder that she's lying on) extended out in front of her and the dude whom she's spooning is contentedly clasping this hand. So of course you therefore wish to hold her "upper" hand, but the prob is that this would ordinarily oblige one of you to rotate your wrist an entire half-turn to position your hand palm-upwards, which would likely cause a somewhat-painful wrenching of your wrist. So instead, you both twist your wrists just a quarter of a turn so that your palms are facing each other, and then interlace your fingers.

My buddy and I were having a nice long group-spoon with Tiffany as a reward for our assisting her around the house for a few hours, and I ended up spooning her from behind. Well, naturally, I wanted to hold her hand, but it would have been too painful for either of us to turn our hand upwards --- especially after the strenuous housework-exertion that we had all just been through --- so we performed a wrist-twist compromise and thus were able to happily clasp hands all the same.

Compromise

If you don't want to see housing costs skyrocket to line the pockets of developers and people involved in real estate, but you prepare to compromise instead of to fight it, what do you expect to happen. They're not on your side, they're on theirs.

Compromise is a good way to lose what you have to the one trying to get you to compromise, or negotiate, and it's not good for much else. Sometimes you have to fight something in order not to lose everything, otherwise people assume you took what you lost for granted, even if you didn't.

chemical compromise

A person who doesn't give up chemicals completely.

I only paint my pinky finger nail to limit my chemical exposure to my body.

In choosing to only paint one finger (pinky) on each hand, I have made a chemical compromise.

The Great Compromise of 2020

When trying to maximize efficiency of cost and dependence. One party shall hold thou pods, the other shall hold thou battery.

We use the Great Compromise of 2020 to help free ourselves and bring each other together more often.
