selective replying

When those annoying girls on snap choose what to reply to and just leave you on open for 48 hours otherwise

You: Bro why does she leave me on opened sometimes but sometimes she wants to reply

Bro: Honestly she’s just selective replying at this point.

Selective Battery Amnesia

A problem that persists with the "System Management Bus," in a particular sector of the "Smart Battery System" that happens when a battery is over-charged or charged before being completely empty on countless events.

The effects of SBA are misreadings of battery life and malfunction of software of which work with the battery.

This problem persists in most battery chips found in portable electronics and can be fixed by draining the battery through one extended use before doing a full charge.

"Man, my computer says my battery is low, but I just charged it!" "Don't worry! it's Selective Battery Amnesia, just let the battery run down and it will fix itself!"

Selective political pressure

A tactic employed by certain politicians and groups that want to push their political agendas where that group or politician will say and or do certain things related to supporting or opposing specific issues in order to get certain types of reactions from particular populations, interest groups, and or, in some cases, other politicians. They usually do this to get more votes from different populations in society, or to get more financial and or political support from particular interest groups.

Natasha: I heard Senator Murkowski recently gave a speech on how they supported efforts of oil companies to begin drilling in certain parts of Alaska. I’m not sure why she would give a speech like that when she supports moving the country towards using renewable energy sources to prevent climate change, which negatively impacts many populations in her state. I could cost her their support down the line.
Ronald: She maybe employing selective political pressure in order to get more support from certain oil companies and specific Native American communities by appearing to support an issue they care about.

Dessert Selectivity

Noun: The culinary problem of having unlimited wants and needs for after dinner sweets but only a finite number of choices.

Don't get mad at me for eating the last piece of homemade apple pie, you had plenty of time to eat it but instead you used poor dessert selectivity and chose to eat a handful of tootsie rolls.

selective sharing

A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.

A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.

Selective reproduction

How is that not exactly what wpmen are doing with abortion? "UH DER WELL IT'S THIS NEBULOUS THING GUYS! IT'S NOT THE GUY! SHE'S JUST NOT READY FOR KIDS BECAUSE.... UM... DA ECONOMY! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! DA ECONOMY! THEY'RE NOT USING THEIR PUSSY AS A BEAR TRAP FOR RICH PEOPLE WHILE FUCKING ALL OF THE FAT COCKS! THAT'S NOT IT!"

Hym "If they are getting an abortion because they DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE CHILD OF THE GUY THEY FUCKED WILLINGLY... And abortion leads to the dissolution of relationships more often than not... Then women are engaging in selective reproduction. They're literally doing the thing you think is repugnant BUT IT'S WOMEN so they get a pass. Let's just exempt them for all the laws. That's what you real want. Not laws or rules for women and then men just do whatever without ever getting anything in return."
