The Personality Principle

When a bro rates a female on the 0-10 scale, the personality principle describes the influence of personality upon the rating. The effect personality has in terms of rating decreases toward the extremes of the scale.

0's and 10's: No possible change from personality
1's and 9's: Possible change of 1 point up or down (as a result of personality)
2's and 8's: Possible change of 1 point up or down (as a result of personality)
3's and 7's: Possible change of 1.5 point up or down (as a result of personality)
4's and 6's: Possible change of 1.5 point up or down (as a result of personality)
5's: Possible change of 2 point up or down (as a result of personality)

A 10 will always be a ten no matter how bitchy or cool they are; a 5 can possibly be a 3 or a 7 depending on their personality

PSA for all women, your personality matters!

Austin: "Hey dude, I met a dime last night but she was a mega bitch. Still a 10 though.
Andrew: "Did you meet any other women?"
Austin: "Yeah there was this decent-looking 5 but she was super cool. After the night was over, I'd rate her a 7."
Andrew: "That's The Personality Principle at work, bruh."

arizona principle

When your learning process starts at a manageable size of subjects which can rapidly go very very widely diversified.
Similiar to the view of an iceberg above sea level compared to its actual size is the insertion of a bottle of Arizona iced tea up your anus. At first you think its hard to do so but by time it will fit. Just so by time the amount of stuff u need to learn expands like the bottle neck of the besaid bottle. Your anus is simply rip after this process.

ThatDude: i got to learn react.
ThatOtherDude: u know u got to learn redux too?
ThatDude: omg thats kinda arizona principle. rip my anus.

pac-man principle

The political principle where whether you go far left or far right, if you go too far in either direction, like Pac-Man, you will end up on the other side which is always a dictatorship.

Hitler was a socialist but moved so far left on government control that, because of the Pac-Man Principle, he came out on the right as a fascist and wound up ultimately as a dictator.
