Get the parison mug.A tool used to protect stupid people from invisible rain. It is most commonly used in hot weather. Usually, the hotter the weather, the more likely it is to spot someone using one. If you do, please yell, "It's not raining, ya douchenozzle!"
Oh, dear--is it raining nothing again? Better get my parasol out to protect me from the invisible rain that only stupid people can see.

Get the Parasol mug.A Parasociopath uses parasocial relationships to enable, justify, and lie about sociopathic behavior. Parasocial influence allows parasociopathic online "influencers" to manipulate, lie, break laws, act impulsively, and lack regard for their own safety or the safety of others in order to entertain, gaslight, harrass, and cyberbully others leveraging their "followers' affection" to deflect criticism and legitimize their behaviors.
Parasocial interaction is an exposure that garners interest in a persona and then becomes a parasocial relationship after repeated exposure to the media persona causes the media user to develop illusions of intimacy, friendship, and identification. Media personas have a significant amount of influence over media users informing the way that they perceive life, their behaviors, and their purchasing habits. (Horton, D.; Wohl, R. (1956). "Mass communication and para-social interaction: Observation on intimacy at a distance". Psychiatry. 19 (3): 215–229.)
Sociopathy is antisocial personality disorder, which causes individuals to lie, break laws, act impulsively, and lack regard for their own safety or the safety of others. (Healthline. (2021). "Sociopath". Healthline.com.)
Related to narcissism and problematic social media use, celebrity worship
