"(The) Opposition Paradox" is a term credited to the philosopher C.M. Nutter for describing when people are unwilling to try new things that others recommend without a logical reason other than to simply provide opposition to the idea of trying something new.
Donna recommended her and Steve go to Chinese food for dinner. Steve opposed the idea even though he never tried Chinese food. Donna pushed and eventually Steve conceded and they had Chinese food for dinner. After trying the food Steve fell in love with Chinese food wonder why he opposed it and was never willing to try before. Therefore being a victim of the Opposition Paradox.

are you reading this? maybe it depends if there's editors, maybe if you never heard of a paradox you've never come here, but what about me? it all started with no u because I'm reading this is meaning that i am in the future, but its the present, and the few milliseconds that have passed are now the past, but how are we supposed to know what time is past, future, or present, times always moving, so there's no present but when the president won the past 5 years he made the world bad, but what if he hadeint win? would we still have covid? that's a good question but by reading this you've had info on what its like to be in an infinite paradox, because you are in one life's an infinite paradox because even if humans died off, the very existence of what we call life still moves, even if everything in the existence of everything's gone, it still moves, are you reading this? because you'd never know i I've never came here, its not going to end like a book, becuse you are reading everything you see are you reading?

The misconception that some actions of simping can be interpreted as no simping. Some actions are simping regardless if you do them or not. The action of holding a door for the female gender is clearly related to simping. However, by you revoking the action, the females simp-radar might catch the act by thinking "wow, he does not want me to know he likes me, that's why he wont hold the door for me". This however, requires the encounter of an intelligent female, which is very unlikely.

The decision faced when prompted with a low battery on a device such as a phone or ipod you wish to use later. Brought on by the fear that by going through the energy-consuming act of turning off the device you may actually use the last of the battery you are trying to conserve.
As Jenny needed her phone to call a cab later but had minimal battery left, she was faced with the Battery Conservation Paradox. Did she dare attempt to turn off her phone lest it die completely?
