Paradox

a statement that may seem nonsensical at first but, when examined, begins to make sense
I must fully accept myself before I can change. This is an example of a paradox.

Gammon Paradox

Someone that wants to keep their sovereignty yet rejects that very same sovereignty.

This occurs primarily when a Gammon that voted for a hard Brexit to get their sovereignty back, has a fit due to the law of the land (sovereignty) going against their wishes.

Or, when the act of a proroguement was deemed by a Gammon that it was not used for 'particular purpose' (i.e. Brexit), yet the Gammon insists the 'particular purpose' was affected by the deemed illegality of said proroguement.
"This is a prime example of a Gammon Paradox, as he insists the supreme court is the bad ones in all this, but the courts are part of our sovereign state."

Douglas Paradox

The "Douglas Paradox" describes a situation where improvements to a rental property, while increasing the rent, don't necessarily increase the property's market value in a way that reflects the rent increase. This can happen due to factors like differing valuations between rental income and property value, or when certain improvements primarily benefit tenants rather than increasing the property's appeal to buyers.
We must think about the Douglas Paradox because fitting a luxury bathroom kitchen will increase the rent a tenant is willing to pay but it will not increase the capital value of the property.

Xala Paradox

Xala somehow has every unit in the game, while also not having any units at all. The second that he is conscious of the unit the wave function collapses to materialize it.
"Hey have you seen TrueWhale's new drafts?" "Yeah man I think he's just going back to the original style with his 'new' LDs" "Oh man he must have the Xala Paradox"

Poster Paradox

The never-ending cycle of NBA players being dunked on. Everyone has turned someone into a poster and everyone has been made a poster.
Giannis has been dunked on and has dunked on someone. Therefore that is a poster paradox.

Paradox

a paradox is powerful....
● he would rather have you know the truth and hate me or tolerate it than sooth you with lies
● dont judge a book by its cover: you cant judge him by merely looking at him or conversations we have, until you get close will you know who he is
● he has flaws just as he is beautiful: he tries his best to be a good person, be true to his heart and yours
● he is clingy: he loves who he care about and he shows it ways both weird and not
● he is sarcastic: he creates dry jokes and sex related jokes to keep conversations

● He is himself: he doesn't fake it, he doesnt pretend, he tries
He is many things, he is such a paradox
