Magic-Button Syndrome

The delusion that editing images, design works, creating designs, or creating digital paintings and illustrations is a simple task that only takes a few minutes or with the push of the button.

This delusion is brought on by a combination of the inclusion of computer software and hardware into art and design worlds, as well has having minimal-to-zero understanding of the technical processes required to achieve the desired results.
Pam: I need you to make it look like I'm sitting next to Chewbacca on a roller coaster! That shouldn't take you long, right?

Tim: Actually it'll take me at least a few hours...

Pam: What do you mean!? It should only take you a few minutes! Aren't you going to just Photoshop it!?

Tim: Pam, you have what we call "Magic-Button Syndrome"...

epic movie syndrome

After watching an epic movie or TV series, or playing an epic video game, the feeling of depression or dissatisfaction with one's real life in comparison to the awesomeness of what one saw/lived on screen, i.e. "my life can never be that awesome oh god." Epic, in this case, meaning circumstances that lead the protagonist to save the world or live life in a way that nobody could remotely approach in reality.

Usually lasts 1-5 days after the conclusion of said epic movie/series/game.
"How fucking amazing would it be if I could get really ripped and fight crime like Batman....oh god damn it, it's basically impossible. I'm going to spend the next 30 years in a cubicle trying to get the office that's slightly bigger than a cubicle. My life is so fucking boring and background and I'll never realize my dreams. I have such a severe case of epic movie syndrome that I might as well kill myself."

Ardern Derangement Syndrome

A term used to describe a mentality a minority of New Zealand citizens suffer from, (often National voters and the antivax), in which they blame their day to day problems on the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Usually problems that have no relation to Ardern’s actions or personal views.

They also frequently spout their opinion that she runs the worst government ever, despite the fact that the economy is in good shape, unemployment and child poverty is down, minimum wages were boosted above inflation, and healthcare continues to receive more funding than ever before. - While previous governments had all the same perceived failures without any of these successes.

Those that suffer from Ardern Derangement Syndrome may be seen at public stores turning over copies of Woman’s Weekly and books featuring Jacinda Ardern. Or met at a limited number of family gatherings where a single individual will spend the entire day talking about how bad Jacinda is, that they ruin the day for everyone around them by spouting political nonsense rather than enjoying time with family.
Jane: Awful weather we’re having today, isn’t it?

Carl: It’s all Cindy Ardern’s fault! She’s using a weather controlling machine to personally ruin our day, my day specifically. Worst government ever!

David: Jane, don’t bother talking to Carl, he has Ardern Derangement Syndrome and cannot be helped. Everything will revert back to Jacinda. He told me it was personally the Prime Minister’s fault his neighbour's dog shat on his lawn too.

Primary Overplay Syndrome

When a band/artist is played on the radio so much that that song/artist becomes hated, even if it/they are actually pretty good. I swear, overplay is not the artist's fault, just those crappy DJs that can't get their hands on anything better to play. Victims include:
Nickelback
Creed
Hinder
Slipknot
3Oh!3
Radio-only listener: Man, I fucking hate Nickelback!
Me: Don't say that! Nickelback is an awesome band. Many people like just suffer from Primary Overplay Syndrome.
