same shit; different island

The theory that an island is not inherently different from another neighboring island.

The theory relies upon the spoken accounts of recent tourists. No matter which island the traveler visits, he will always encounter:

1) Aggresive touts selling t-shirts, conch shells, and other worthless crap.

2) Crazy taxi drivers.

3) Hot, humid weather.

4) Panhandling locals.

5) Bugs.

6) Shoddy accommodations and questionable cuisine.

Man 1: How was your island-hopping trip to the Caribbean?

Returning Traveler: Meh, same shit; different island.

differency

A technical term combining the ideas of difference and frequency. Now used in regards to the predictable unpredictability of individuals – particularly women. The term has its origins in the writings of Daniel Webster the Elder who was the godfather and inspiration for the name of the famed lawyer and American Revolutionary war figure.

1. The problem for planning a maintenance schedule is that we know customers will be very differency in the usage.

2. I don't know what to get them for Christmas, you know they all have to have their differency even if they are sisters.

3. It isn't that he isn't fabulous. Fashion just hasn't caught up with his differency yet.

Team Difference Syndrome

Every year, millions of League Of Legends and other gamers suffer from "Team Difference Syndrome"; thinking that their opposing team, though equal in rank according to the ladder and queue, is somehow way better than their current performing team. They often blame bad luck in the queue and say things like "ri0t fix your shi game". This usually ends with the worst performing player on the losing team talking smack in chat, flaming his allies, telling them they suck and to "Kys" and requesting a team surrender at the earliest possible convenience; Sometimes they'll pepper in a few racial slurs for good measure. Most Team Difference Syndrome sufferers give up long before the game is over and convince themselves of the shortcomings of their allies way before the game is actually lost; they refuse to try to win and simply give up trying. Often if they are killed once or twice they will ragequit and simply disconnect; Some of the worst offenders even resort to cheating because, they theorize, the "game is unbalanced".

ally 1. Guys forfeit at 15:00 their top lane is outperforming, their bottom lane is wrecking, their midlaner is winning lane, and look at their jungle difference yo! <Disconnects>
ally 2. He must be suffering from TDS: Team Difference Syndrome ...

Do you want to win the argument, or make a difference

So much of our current social and political discourse is based on proving the other wrong i.e. winning the argument. We don't demonstrate enough empathy to understand where the "other" is coming from and the merits of their point. A black and white world is a construct of our own imagination and our desire to imprint our views on to others. It ignores the beauty that the synthesis or fusion of diverse ideas enables.

John had made a life out of proving people wrong. He took pride in being able to argue against any position and win. He was a talk show host. One night when he was grilling a guest who was making a point around having improved gun controls in place. John, barely let she finish her sentences, was adversarial and was not listening. At the end of the segment the guest said; "John, do you want to win the argument, or make a difference".
