"checks and balances" system

A form of government-operation whereby you are guaranteed "level" or "fair overall" treatment if you are generous with your "checks" to bribe local/state/federal officials, or if you are sufficiently rich (i.e., you have a large enough "balance" in da bank) that said officials feel obliged to make special allowances for you.
We may ostensibly have a "checks and balances" system, but it never seems to help out "da little guy" very much.

Load Balancing

Load balancing is a pornographic method for distributing loads across multiple sexual partners.
Frank: OH man, it was a close call last night. I had to enable Load Balancing to satisfy three ladies at once.

Bob: Nice!

Contribution Balanced Participation

A way of contribution to services that comes from gifting culture. It allows for people to choose their contribution from 0 to ∞. It enables everyone to meet in the same circle, as we all have something to learn from each other. It is the most inclusive way of contributing to each other.

It can be shuffled within a sentence when you use it.

This is the explanation used to introduce it:

Today, it is an undeniable situation that there is a gap between people's solvency —ability to pay.

With this awareness, we believe everyone giving what they can according to their wealth is the best way going forward in terms of equal access rights.

People with more wealth can give more, while people with less wealth can give less. We don't expect to see proof of wealth. We simply believe in the integrity and fairness of your choice. We expect you to decide how much you value this journey and your contribution.

This way, we unlock the opportunity to give everyone access to this experience and contribute. We balance this contribution thanks to you. We want people without the ability to pay at the moment to benefit as well. We think, through this inclusivity, all of us can meet around the same circle. We are introducing the Contribution Balanced Participation Fee to unveil the unifying power of money.

Where do you see yourself creating this balance?

You can choose anything between 0 — ∞. The choice is yours.
I made my contribution balanced participation to an amazing Design Playing™ program.
I balanced my contribution by paying them €1000, so that all these people who couldn't pay can participate as well.

Gustavio's balanced self

Gustavio's balanced self is really helpful. I do appreciate that. I never tell him enough. I never do many things enough. But this is about Gustavio. His balanced self.
Thank you, Gustavio's balanced self, for being there. Better late than never. Better digital than nothing at all.

Gustavio's balanced self, I still have so much work to do. Scary when I think of it. Coffee?

air balance

A pseudo-trade that lies only a few steps above sorcery and alcoholism. Your typical air balancer has his head up his ass and takes his field way too seriously.
“This work order looks like creative writing. How do you even balance air? Let’s ask the air balance tech for a walk trough. Has anyone seen him?

Shirk-life balance

The active consideration of your need to relax in relation to your work life. A failure to acknowledge your need to shirk during the working week could lead to unnatural levels of stress and taking yourself dangerously seriously. An increase in nap time while working from home could constitute a positive addition to your shirk-life balance.
