R-stan

(noun)
/ɑ r stæn/

Definition:
A Respectful Stan — a fan who supports an artist, creator, or public figure with genuine admiration while respecting their boundaries, privacy, and humanity.

Unlike obsessive or intrusive fandom behavior, an R-Stan believes that true support includes empathy, consent, and kindness. Being an R-Stan means celebrating someone’s work, not controlling their life.

Origin:
Coined by a fan who wanted to redefine what it means to support someone, after noticing how often the term fan is used for people who act disrespectfully toward artists.
The “R” stands for Respectful.
“She’s not the type to invade artists’ space — she’s an R-Stan.”

R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience)

A retroactively amended purchase experience is when a company changes the terms of the sale, after the sale. Companies can do this nowadays because most of us use cloud software, otherwise known as SaaS, Software as a Service. Since we have to connect to someone else's computer to USE our software, they have the ability to deny us access to this software without accepting new terms, that they can change on us at any given time. Since consumer protection in the United States is a joke, they face no consequences for doing so.

An example of this can be found with Adobe when they changed the terms of the sale to include terms allowing them to look through your content.

Or when Adobe took software you paid for, and disallowed you from activating it. perpetual licenses are not perpetual licenses as long as you must connect to someone else's computer to use what you paid for.

rene (pro. mean w/ an r)

A scary, sexy, disgusting, ancient, fat, ginormous, terrifying, uncontrolled, crazy mofo. Is my mother, but is also not a female and kind of a man but not really. More of an animal than anything. Rene is deranged. She is a stripper. Her shift is from 8-8(pm-am) she is also a sex offender and child molester. She is a drug addict. She also is a doctor and a ranging alcoholic. The best way to describe rene is: velcro. She is.... nvm. When people stand up when she enters a room, she thinks it’s out of respect but it’s out of fear because she causes earthquakes with her strides. She is gay. Uncle.
