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.

Baldwin's gun paradox

Baldwin's gun paradox typically occurs when a specific and equal amount of responsibility is distributed to a number of individuals surpassing the sum of 1, usually as a form of repetitive fail-safe (ie verify that a gun is not loaded with real bullets before it is fired at someone or confirming that no one is standing in the industrial oven with a timed locked door before it is turned on), sometimes resulting in each successive person erroneously believing that the person prior to them made the proper verification which they are now themselves certifying without any actual verification from their part as required by their role. Any guilt resulting from a catastrophic failure of the entire verification chain will either be attributed to none of the individuals involved or exclusively to the lowest person on the totem pole.

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.

Temporal paradox

A temporal paradox, time paradox, or time travel paradox is a paradox, an apparent contradiction, or logical contradiction associated with the idea of time and time travel. In physics, temporal paradoxes fall into two broad groups: consistency paradoxes exemplified by the grandfather paradox; and causal loops."

"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"

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
