Zero Alternative

Zero Alternative or Zero Alt is: Someone who is Everything but Nothing at all.
"An alternate subcategory that consists of combining multiple or all other subcategories, due to confusion or liking multiple alternative subcategories."
It's basically someone who can't fit into one category, and they feel like their being pulled in different directions because they can't put their finger on what they are or want to be. It's taking two or more things and mixing them together to make a better thing that fits, like a Cocktail.
"Anyone know what Zero Alternative is?"
"Uh, Yea I do."
"What is it?"
"It's when someone has more than one Alternative Subcategory or can't fit into just one."
"Oh, okay. It sounds kinda interesting."

New Dominion Alternative Center

A center for educating middle grades (6 - 8) students in Virginia who have had difficulty succeeding in a traditional school. Smaller classes, more tolerant teachers, social skills instruction, and an alternative method of working with kids are all parts of the alternative program.

The goal of the school is to re-teach the students and help them learn to participate in the more-structured atmosphere of a traditional school. Helping them learn to become active participants in their own education is a primary goal. Reducing the frequency of unacceptable behaviors is another goal.
New Dominion Alternative Center is a mini-school that provides alternative education.

LaPusso alternative

The only choice you get in some situations, and you just comply with it as you're too cowardly to stand up for your needs. Named after Anthony LaPusso, the entitled, privileged son-brat of Daniel and Amanda LaRusso. He has been raised with plenty of video games around him. His dad, Daniel, wrote him blank checks every time and gave him a Miyagi-do Karate Gi even though he didn't want to "wax on" and "wax off." His mom, Amanda, and sis, Samantha, drive him everywhere. Anthony doesn't really need to take adult responsibilities as his family would always be looking out for him.

That's why, when there's a tough and unpredictable situation, instead of battling it out, Anthony goes for the LaPusso Alternative and just takes whatever is being offered because he's too scared of antagonizing his parents, who might write him off the family inheritance and any trust funds. He's also scared of the school principal and other authority figures.

In a way, the LaPusso Alternative is actually a good choice when you have too much to lose because of owning responsibilities for your actions. After all, when everything is served to you on a platter, only a fool would choose the harder path in life.
Carjacker: "Give me all your money. kid. And the car!"
Victim: "All right, man. Don't kill me please. Listen you can take the car, and you can keep my wallet. But can you just spare me $10 so I can take the bus home."
Carjacker: "Nopes. you don't get anything. Tell you what? You can walk all the way home. Be thankful I spared your life, and you're not going to wake up in a hospital. "
Victim: "OK man. there's always the LaPusso alternative. Keep my car, and my wallet. I will walk all the way home."
Carjacker: "Fuck off, LaPusso."

Alternating lag

Rare but really annoying form of lag, it gives you anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 seconds of freeze, and then flips to 0.5 to 1.5 seconds of decent FPS.
So, I have half a second to run away from these blazes, before it freezes me for 1.5 seconds, to so I DON'T experience to full fun of running away from blazes... FUCK YOU TO HELL, Alternating lag!

But it might take some time until classical transhumanism become hegemonic, but it might happen in less than 10 years from now."
