positive prejudice

Definitions aside, there was a very suspicous boom in ethnics getting jobs when this conception came into play.

One particular black I once asked on the topic claimed "NAH bruv, that shit is just a coincidence", he has a wife, three children and two cats, now working very hard, residing at a Boots store and being a much appreciated statistic
Interviewer: What makes you think you should get the job here at B'n'Q?

Potential Employee: Well the only reason I can think of is that I'm disabled .. and even though I can't carry out jobs as well as your average enabled man, I'm fully aware that B'n'Q really do need to fill out their criteria of having a certain amount of disabled people

Interviewer: You're wrong ... you are getting the job because you are black (Announcement) Would all of the white employees with good qualifications please leave the B'n'Q store and make way for the disabled black man ...

Asain man: What about me? I'm a bit racial

Interviewer: Errr, sorry what's wrong with you? I don't see any missing limbs, you won't be recieving any positive prejudice goodies today mate

The positive z-axis.

The correct answer to the question "What's up?"

In 3-dimensional Cartesian terms, the x-axis is east and west, the y-axis is north and south, and the z-axis is up and down. So the positive z-axis is what's up.
Guy 1: "What's up, man?"
Guy 2: "The positive z-axis."
Guy 1: *rolls eyes*

Body positivity

It started as way of accepting people who are disabled and/or cant controll a part of there body, but has been taken over by a bunch of tik tok fattys as a "movement" to justify obesity. Usually women over 200kg

Positivity

(1.) The false idea that negative elements of life need to be edited or denied, for someone to be happy, successful, or even just okay. Instead of just accepting that life is full of everything: the wonderful, the terrible and everything in between.

(2.) A toxic leftover from a multi-billion dollar self- help industry.

(3.) The kind of willful ignorance and denial that inspired idioms such as, "Ostrich with its head in the sand" and "Elephant in the Room". A mental rationalization for ignoring or downplaying problems....instead of accurately assessing and fixing them.

(4.) Malignant hope for people and situations that are never going to change.

(5.) A favorite excuse/justification for those who emotionally police and manipulate others.
If you have to construct "positivity" out of the ether, and put it in places it clearly doesn't belong....it's probably bullshit. What's "positive" about lying to yourself?

Positive energy solution

A plan or system that produces more energy than it uses while at the same time provides necessary products or services. Farming is the historic example. Solar panels, wind turbines and concentrated solar are also, but using new technology. So is biofuels.
Without a positive energy solution for the Western countries, economic collapse is a certainty.
