A gimmick that is quite popular amongst Metal Gear fans because the "Mission Failed" logo is actually "Time Paradox". In reality though, a time paradox is a contradiction of time. For example, take Metal Gear Solid 3's background. It's set in 1964. The main character's death, according to the storyline, would mean World War III. Thus, if he is killed, reality as we know it would suffer a time paradox because he wasn't supposed to die, and his death would mean the end of the world.....of course, we're still alive today.
Aw hell who am I kidding. This whole flow of time thing really confizzles me.

You find yourself in a situation in which you must have sexual intercourse with two females separately. The catch is that their collective age must equal 20 years. Thus, if one was 12 years old, the other must be 8 years old. If one was 19 years old, the other must be 1 year old, and so on. What do you do?
Rupert's Paradox has baffled the minds of scholars for years.

noun:
A video game company, creators of grand strategy games: Stellaris, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis series; and a simulator and management game: Cities: skylines; whose marketing tactic is to make a bare bones base game, and then shit out a ton of DLCs worth 5€ -25€, that may or may not be rip-offs.

I love how I have to buy 24 DLCs to have a complete Crusader Kings 2 game!

Gay paradox is another phrase for time fuck.
If one person were to go back in time and have sex with him/herself, then it isn't considered gay because neither is masturbation, yet it is not masturbation because there is another person to have sex with, and it definitely isn't incest because they are not siblings.

If young Link and Link from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time, had sex with one another, this would be considered a gay paradox.

The Reeves' Paradox is a term for when the following sequence of events results in operational disaster for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs):
(1) The management of a business does not believe that it is susceptible to cyber attacks and/or that businesses is not overly reliant on technology.
(2) Following on from (1), the management of the business reject the warnings and assistance of industry experts.
(3) When the computer system of the business is attacked the management realise the false nature of their assumptions in (1) and (2).
(4) After the attack in (3) the business is crippled by lack of access to their computer systems.
Origin: the term derives its name by way of reference to two prominent actors; Keanu Reeves (star of The Matrix) and Christopher Reeve (Superman). The concept was first anecdotally referenced in a Cyber risk management conference in Australia, at which a presenter noted “SMEs that fall prey to the Reeves’ Paradox are by default always ‘inside’ the matrix but they think they aren’t. And then, when they finally realize they are, all is too late – the damage is done, and they end up paralyzed!”

Use: "given your organisation may fall prey to the Reeves' Paradox I would suggest educating your staff about the perils of the online realm"
