Another example of a "cancellation consolation" would be if someone had to regretfully forgo a promised activity due to an unforeseen mishap, but offers you a comparably-enjoyable alternative, such as if a cute chick had arranged to go for a pleasant stroll hand-in-hand wif you, but then she accidentally hurt her foot and thus made it too painful for her to walk a long distance, and so she offered to let you savoringly massage her pretty feet for an extended period instead.

Get the cancellation consolation mug.A profoundly regrettable culinary–metaphysical experiment in which an alarming assortment of miscellaneous objects are deposited into a pot of jelly and stirred with a headless spoon—a utensil whose bowl has been mysteriously removed, leaving only a tragically useless handle. The resulting mixture, while technically edible in the same way gravel is technically chewable, produces in the victim an overwhelming and existential sense of dread, woe, and the creeping suspicion that the universe has personally wronged them.

when a creep (e.g. news caster; Youtube producer) exploits someone else's tragedy without consent from the victim. Wholly for the sake of garnering attention, monetary gain, or gratification for themselves. Under the color of caring about the victim, and the tragedy.
Wow, that creep ham and cheesed it up like he was the one who lost his legs. It was total stolen consolation. He was making a Youtube video. He used someone else's tragedy to garner attention for himself while feigning concern. That poor man who lost his legs. He did not consent to be a prop for this creep's show. It was super gross, and I puked a little. It was so dramatic that I had to literally destroy my device. This tragedy exploitation porn I witnessed. It caused me to denounce the western world, and join a monastery.

Get the Any pervious convictions? mug.The fallacy of demanding that one's opponent be absolutely, exhaustively convinced before any action can be taken or any conclusion reached. "You're not 100% certain, so you can't act." The fallacy sets an impossible standard—complete conviction, total certainty, no doubt whatsoever—and uses it to block any decision, any action, any conclusion. It's the logic of the certainty trap applied to conviction: since nothing can be known with absolute certainty, nothing can be done. The Fallacy of Exhaustive Conviction is beloved of those who want to maintain the status quo, who can always find a reason to wait, to study further, to demand more certainty.
Fallacy of Exhaustive Conviction Example: "She was 95% sure the policy would help, but he demanded exhaustive conviction: 'You can't be absolutely certain, so we can't act.' The 5% doubt was enough to block the 95% certainty. The Fallacy of Exhaustive Conviction had done its work: making action impossible by demanding impossible certainty."
