When someone eyes are crusted shut by cum

He asked for a Krusty Krab special.

Special Expanded Diaper

Unlike a regular diaper that puts an emphasis on being absorbent, a Special Expanded Diaper (SED) emphasizes expansion over absorption.

Oh gosh, Ted is leaking again. They can hold a lot more but these Special Expanded Diapers are as leaky as can be.

General and Special Ecology

A conceptual split, borrowing language from relativity, to categorize ecological thinking. General Ecology deals with the universal laws and principles that apply to all systems—the "theory of everything" for interconnectedness, like thermodynamics or network theory. Special Ecology deals with the specific, unique rules governing particular types of systems—like the ecology of a coral reef versus the ecology of a desert versus the ecology of an online community. General Ecology gives you the grammar; Special Ecology gives you the vocabulary for a specific place. You need both to speak the language of the planet fluently.

General and Special Ecology "General Ecology says every system needs an energy source. Special Ecology says the energy source for this coral reef is the sun, filtered through symbiotic algae, and if the water warms by two degrees, the whole thing dies. General gives you the big picture; Special keeps you from killing the thing you're studying."

Specialized Objectivity Bias

The tendency to believe that deep expertise in one narrow field grants you objective authority on topics far outside that field. The physicist who speaks with unwarranted confidence about economics. The surgeon who thinks their medical training makes them an authority on education policy. The programmer who believes logical thinking in code transfers directly to understanding human relationships. Specialization creates genuine insight in a tiny domain, but the bias lies in assuming that insight generalizes—that the habits of mind that work in your corner of reality somehow make you immune to bias everywhere else.

"As a tenured professor of chemistry, let me explain why this public health policy is obviously wrong," he began, unaware that his Specialized Objectivity Bias was about to embarrass him in front of epidemiologists.

Special Objectivity Bias

The recognition that genuine objectivity, to the extent it's possible at all, is always special—always specific to a particular domain, method, and community of inquiry. Unlike General Objectivity Bias (which thinks objectivity is a uniform trait), Special Objectivity Bias is the awareness that being objective about quantum physics requires different tools than being objective about historical events, which requires different tools than being objective about your own feelings. It's not really a bias at all—it's the antidote to bias: the understanding that every kind of truth demands its own kind of rigor.

"Stop treating your scientific training like it makes you objective about my emotional experience. Different domains, different rules. Learn some Special Objectivity Bias and sit down."

Fallacy of Special Privation

A fallacy where someone applies standards of privation—demands to account for harm, suffering, or failure—selectively, demanding that one system or idea be judged by its worst outcomes while exempting another system from the same standard. "Religion has caused wars, therefore religion is evil" from someone who ignores wars fought for secular ideologies. "Science has been wrong before, therefore science isn't trustworthy" from someone who trusts science when it confirms their biases. "Your side has bad people" from someone whose side also has bad people, but that doesn't count. Special Privation is hypocrisy in logical form: the harms that matter are the harms your opponents cause; your side's harms are justified, minimal, or irrelevant.

"He spent an hour listing every harm caused by organized religion throughout history. When I mentioned secular atrocities, he said 'That's different—those weren't really about ideology.' That's Fallacy of Special Privation: one standard for them, another for us. The privation is special because it only applies to people we don't like."
