Diversity Shield

When something is bad, but critiquing said thing isn't possible due to the diverse actions or portrayals that occur within.
A: I was bingeing shows on Netflix during Corona and I watched a really bad one called Another Life.
B: What's so bad about it?
A: Pretty much everything. To make sure it wasn't me I went to watch some reviews and noticed that any of them that didn't like the show will get people talking about how diverse the cast is or that there's a female lead.
B: But the shows still shit?
A: Oh yeah, but you can't say shit since the makers used their Diversity Shield to divert any genuine critical debate.

driveism

"Driveism" can be understood as a form of discrimination or bias that involves prioritizing one storage drive over others based on arbitrary characteristics, similar to how racism prioritizes one race over others based on arbitrary traits like skin color or ethnicity.

In the context of computing, driveism could occur when an individual or organization prioritizes a certain storage drive over others for reasons that are not related to performance, capacity, or other objective measures. For example, a company might choose to use a certain brand of hard drive because they have a personal connection to the company or brand, rather than choosing the most reliable or cost-effective option.

This kind of driveism can have negative consequences, such as reduced performance, higher costs, or decreased reliability, if it leads to the selection of inferior or less suitable drives. It can also create an unfair advantage for certain companies or products, making it harder for newer or smaller players in the market to compete.

Overall, just as racism is an unjust and discriminatory practice that harms individuals and society, driveism can also be a harmful and unfair practice that can negatively impact the functioning of computer systems and the market for storage drives.
Despite the fact that there were more reliable and cost-effective options available, the IT manager's driveism led them to choose a certain brand of hard drive, causing slower performance and higher costs for the company.

Multi Diverse Personality MDP

Multi Diverse Personality unlike schizophrenia is the result of multitasking requirements in the present day age whereby one must have the ability to switch personalities based on the requirement to adapt to a particular environment.
John has such a multi diverse personality MDP in such that he can actually be an accountant one minute, then a sales person the next, but even more so he can type and text message on his phone at the same time. His girlfriend Jane can social network, analyze people, and text message also at the same time, making her a MDP also. Hence, their relationship is made in heaven. Adaptability is so important, they have mastered it as MDP's.
