Vixen Lobby

When your game is full of players so disconnected from the objective of a game that they appear alien from an outside perspective.

These lobbies are almost like a different game, they're playing team deathmatch rather than pushing the payload! It's such a vixen lobby.

lobby ladrone

A thief of packages, mail, etc., from apartment building lobbies and other common areas. Identical to "porch pirate" but targets multifamily buildings rather than single-family homes. ("Ladrone" is Spanish for thief.)

Where's that package Amazon said they delivered? Goddamn lobby ladrones struck again!

switch lobby

The lobby you get when you load up fortnite and queue with your friend who is playing on switch. The opps are basically paralyzed in the hands and use their toes to play.

These lobbies leave you questioning if you're playing in a lobby full of AI or 6 year olds.

Sweet, David is on. We can dog some kids in a switch lobby!

*drops a 20 kill game* God bless you David, you always put us in switch lobbies against these poverty players.

Bro, these switch lobbies have me feeling like I'm facing dhruv in every fight...

Scientific Lobbies

Organized interest groups within the scientific community—whether aligned with specific industries (pharma, fossil fuels), ideological camps, or dominant academic paradigms—that use their influence, funding power, and control over prestigious journals and conferences to steer research priorities, suppress dissenting findings, and shape public perception to favor their interests. They turn the scientific process into a political battlefield.

Example: For decades, Scientific Lobbies funded by the sugar industry successfully directed nutrition research toward blaming fat for heart disease, published favorable studies in major journals, and marginalized scientists pointing to sugar's role, distorting public health guidelines for a generation.

Lobbying Science

A systematic corruption of the scientific process where organized interest groups—corporate, political, or ideological—fund, produce, and disseminate research specifically engineered to influence policy and public opinion in their favor. Unlike genuine scientific inquiry, which follows questions wherever they lead, Lobbying Science starts with a predetermined conclusion and reverse-engineers the "evidence" to support it. It maintains the aesthetic of peer-reviewed legitimacy while functioning as a public relations arm. This includes funding friendly academics, ghostwriting papers, suppressing unfavorable results, and creating front organizations with neutral-sounding names to launder biased conclusions.

Example: A fossil fuel conglomerate funds a "Global Climate Research Institute" that publishes studies emphasizing natural climate variability and downplaying anthropogenic causes. Their scientists sit on IPCC panels, their papers appear in reputable journals, and their findings are cited by sympathetic politicians. This isn't science serving truth; it's Lobbying Science—the research arm of a political war, dressed in a lab coat and holding a clipboard.

Theory of Scientific Lobbies

The theory that scientific knowledge is shaped not just by evidence but by organized interests—lobbies that fund research, control publication, shape public perception, and influence policy. Scientific Lobbies argues that science is not a pure pursuit of truth but a field of struggle where different groups advance different agendas. Pharmaceutical companies fund studies that favor their drugs; fossil fuel companies fund climate denial; ideological foundations fund research that supports their worldviews. This doesn't mean all science is corrupt; it means science is political, that knowledge is power, that the question is not whether interests shape science but whose interests, and toward what ends. The Theory of Scientific Lobbies explains why scientific consensus sometimes aligns with corporate interests, why some questions get studied and others ignored, why "follow the science" is more complicated than it sounds.

Theory of Scientific Lobbies Example: "She used to think science was above politics. Then she learned about the tobacco lobby, the fossil fuel lobby, the pharmaceutical lobby—how they'd funded research, suppressed findings, shaped public debate. The Theory of Scientific Lobbies showed her that science was a battlefield, not a sanctuary. The knowledge was real, but so was the struggle over it."

Theory of Logical Lobbies

The theory that logic itself is shaped by organized interests—that what counts as logical is influenced by those who have the power to define logical norms. Logical Lobbies argues that logic is not neutral but political, that different logical systems serve different interests, that the teaching of logic is never innocent. Schools teach certain logical norms; courts enforce certain reasoning standards; media reward certain argument styles. These aren't just technical choices; they're power moves, ways of privileging some ways of thinking over others. The Theory of Logical Lobbies explains why some arguments are heard and others dismissed, why some reasoning is celebrated and others marginalized, why logic is never just logic.

Example: "He'd always thought logic was neutral—just the rules of thought. The Theory of Logical Lobbies showed him otherwise: who decided those rules? Who benefited? Who was excluded? Logic wasn't just logic; it was politics by other means. The rules of reason had rulers—and the rulers had interests."
