When someone lives to excess and has nothing but expanding dollar signs/becoming powerful (in real estate or new development, for example) on their mind, but also wants to wrap their tentacles around conservation efforts and humanitarian causes (such as social justice, income equality, sustainable energy, and a bunch of other issues they don't even hold sacred) to cover their tracks (and get credited for positive things) in case anybody questions (or stands up to) them.
The dorky bubbly girl claming to be a humanitarian and conservationist was one of the main reasons a lot of trees were missing, but she was too busy poking fun at other people's double standards to notice her own. She thought that humans were too responsible for global warming because she thought everyone else was trying to dominate or control the world's resources to the extent (excesses) that she was. She was arrogant enough to believe humans caused the last ice age, and that they were the sole reason for global warming, and the worst thing about somebody like her was that she didn't know it, she only saw arrogance in other people, which is the worst kind of arrogance, complete and total narcissism (the kind of narcissism that also only sees narcissism in others). The planet wasn't going to miss her when she was no longer a part of it and it's problems, but she would never see that either, because she had convinced the planet and the people living on it that they somehow needed her.

Get the Standard Microwave Cooking Time (SMCT)mug. In Finance, a higher standard deviation means the returns are more spread out, but a lower standard deviation means the returns are more consistent or stable.
"Last year, Stock A had a standard deviation of 10%, which means its price fluctuated by about 10% from the average return"

Get the Standard Deviationmug. A female playing all sides, especially the males, is celebrated in music and other media, but a guy playing all sides is someone everyone is trying to take into custody.
Females quick to try and pick at everyone else's double standards don't usually see their own for what they are.

Get the Double standardmug. International Standard Business Time is a "time zone" that does not change based on location. This time is the same throughout the planet. If it is 10:00 IBST in Moscow, it is also 10:00 IBST in Texas. IBST allows international companies to sync with each other. It is most commonly seen in the 24hr format- I.e. 00:00 is midnight. IBST is the same as GMT, but as earlier stated, is recognized globally and does not depend on location.
We've set a meeting with all the GMs via Skype conference for July 11th at 1300 International Business Standard Time (IBST).
