An Eve-Online related term.
A reminder to not get too worked up about the game.
It goes along with the game "chase the ball": AKA soccer.
Soccer can be a serious sport. But when you put a bunch of 3 year-olds on the field, the parents of said 3 year-olds often need reminding of what those kids are really playing.
Even when dealing with profession levels, it is still just a game of "chase the ball". Maybe if people used that term more often there would be less violence and rioting in connection with the sport.
The term "internet spaceships" serves as a simple reality check, that this is only a game, and people should not be building their lives entirely around something so trivial.

Someone said "internet spaceships are more important than life and death to you" and I said "Listen, it's more important than that"

Get the Internet Spaceships mug.The term 'intellectually juvenile' politely describes someone who is unintelligent, unwise or just not the 'sharpest knife in the drawer'.
The term 'intellectually juvenile' applies to a person, or group of people, who are not as developed in their thinking as they should be for their age, education, experience, geographical location, social environment, etc.
Background: Most of the people who are constantly calling other people 'stupid' are well known to be 'not-so-bright-themselves', and thus the word 'stupid' has lost its credibility and power as a descriptive term. The word 'stupid' is overused, low brow and passé.

Ex.
Jim: Glenn! Did you just call me stupid !?!
Glenn: No, Jim. However, I most certainly implied that you are 'intellectually juvenile'. (said while smiling and in a nice tone)
-
Jim: OK! I thought you were calling me stupid, and, I was about to get very upset. Sorry.
Glenn: That's OK Jim. Most 'intellectually juvenile' people are blissfully unaware when a person calls them out on their errors, nonsense and lies, and they are generally oblivious when a sentient uses accurate, basic and descriptive words to describe 'intellectually juvenile' people to themselves.

An Internet Badass is similar to the Internet Gangsta.
They are someone who uses the internet so they can appear tough, they are often seen getting in pointless Nerd Wars, they tend to threaten somebody with physical violence, saying things like "I'll kick your ass!" When in reality, they are the kid in your class that sits at their desk quietly and reads Naruto comics.
The sad thing is, this is the only life for some people, they can't pull it off in reality, so they think they can get some "Internet Respect" by cussing at people on Myspace, Youtube comments, or a forum, they think by doing this, people think of them as a Badass.

Get the Internet Badass mug.Everyone's favorite type of atheist . You know the ones who use sites such as YouTube , Twitter , Facebook , UD . etc to call Christians retarded for believing in a " delusion " /"imaginary friend " and blame ALL of the worlds problems on god . I've seen some nice atheists too on these sites but that's VERY rare . And the sad part is some atheists will always be on videos debating religion . Hell , the video can be called" rattlesnake bites" and someone will say " This dude died cause of a rattlesnake there IS no god. " . and that leads to NUMEROUS comments debating religion. SMH! I don't hate atheist people. I just hate it when they shove their views down are throats. (I know some Christians do this to so don't whine and thumbs down this definition.)
To all Internet Atheists :Don't worry about what religion we choose there are LARGER problems you should worry about instead of bashing god on youtube and saying the bible promotes tyranny/hatred yet some of the atheists I've seen have nasty/haughty attitudes.

Get the pseudo-intellectual mug.A person or rather, the personality of a person, who likes to expose what people hides. One that carefully manages to analyze every meaning of someone's existence, exposing everything about him or her. It is composed with the words "Intellect" and "rape", this is because an intellectual rapist "rapes your mind", uncovering everything you have wether you like it or not.
In the Japanese visual novel "Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Chiru: Episode 5" we can find Furudo Erika as a perfect example as an Intellectual Rapist. She likes to solve riddle, meddle into other's affair and exposes everything they hide, not really caring about the effect this will have.
Normally, detectives fall in this category as they search for the truth, again exposing what others want to hide. For example, we can find even Sherlock Holmes as an intellectual rapist.
