Bad Moderator

A bad moderator is a moderator who spend his time abusing his powers instead of doing any good.

Saying stuff like he's above the rules and complaining when people leave after he goes against them.

Have you heard of Ascensiam? He's a really bad moderator.

gherbo mode

Only the blackest of the black use this word. Also, only if you are a top recruit for either football or basketball you can use this term. It is typically defined as going beast mode or straight savage.

Next season my attitude is in full gherbo mode, real talk.

Waiting Mode

When you have something to do in a couple of hours and so your brain can't focus on anything else until that event happens.

I have work at 3pm today and so my brain is going to be on waiting mode until work starts.

Taipei Mode

A mode you can find yourself in before age 30 when you are drifting around with a girlfriend or boyfriend and she or he is your primary companion every waking hour of the day. Usually a fun and enjoyable mode; can be destructive if in this mode for too long for no great reason. Most couples enter it when traveling by bus, train, plane together, staying in hotels together, visiting family together, road tripping together (this can overlap with “On the Road Mode”). Usually when you’re doing “autofiction” type activities with a companion, characterized by sharing the experience in a mostly positive manner. Doing drugs not necessary to enter this mode. Usually noticed after reading “Taipei” by Tao Lin.

Kinda went Taipei Mode with my gf last summer. We flew to Ireland and stayed in a hotel. Then we flew back but red-eyed from New York to Florida right away. Her family’s in Florida. Then we went to LA and crashed with our friends for a couple weeks, kinda doing nothing. Then we flew back to New York together and took the train up to visit my parents in Beacon.

It was pretty fun when me and my wife used to go Taipei mode, but you can only really feel that mode before you’re married.

Bar Model Method

Singapore’s beloved problem-solving aphrodisiac, which can generate and induce mathematical desire in oft-unmotivated or math-anxious students, teachers, and parents—a brain-friendly means to instilling motivation and passion in them to becoming a confident problem solver.

Thanks to the bar model method, millions of homeschoolers outside the “fine” city with the death penalty could testify to the aha! moments they’d experienced time and time again, compared to their peers who’re too shy to experiment with the visualization strategy.
