Pulling a Delly

Pulling a Delly is when you drink your problems away and do lines of coke all day.

Evidence-Saturation Delay

The cognitive phenomenon where the presentation of overwhelming evidence actually slows down decision-making and judgment rather than accelerating it. When faced with too much evidence, the mind freezes—unable to process, prioritize, or conclude. This delay is paradoxical: more information should lead to faster, better decisions, but beyond a certain point, it leads to paralysis. Evidence-saturation delay is why juries can deadlock after weeks of testimony, why consumers can't choose among 50 similar products, and why debates about complex issues never end despite mountains of data. The cure is not more evidence but better filtering, which is why experts are valuable: they know what to ignore. The rest of us just drown.
Example: "She spent three weeks researching which laptop to buy, reading reviews, comparing specs, watching videos. Evidence-saturation delay had struck: the more she learned, the less she could decide. She finally bought the one her friend recommended, which she could have done in five minutes. The evidence hadn't helped; it had paralyzed."

The Marajuana Ten Second Brain Delay

The delay that comes from being way too high. The reason you laugh after everyone else has gotten a joke, fail to grab a railing in time, raise your hands after you've been punched and redirect your aim only after you've peed on the floor.
(end of joke)...to get to the other side!

(crowd laughs)
(you look blankly at the teller)

"Noooooo waaaaaay....the OTHER SIDE....HAHAHAHAHAH!"

I don't see how this isn't intended to do explicitly that.
Hym "I mean, if the lawyers need to sign as a guarantee that the filing isn't being used to Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation then why am I being harassed? Why is me getting paid being unnecessarily delayed? And I don't really care about the cost of litigation but I did have to sit here with fluid in my brain for months. It's still there! Less now. I don't feel like my cognition is impaired as much. But I can still hear it slamming against the back of my ear drum... So, you're saying they can't do it but they're doing it. Exactly what this is intended to do. Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation. And avoid having to bring me my money."

This is it, the moment when you've reaches the insanity of boredom to the point that YOU are the boredom. You've already typed all of the existing keys on your keyboard, but you're still bored, so you type all of the existing keys on your keyboard... backwards. You've already destroyed the definition of boredom. Now get back to work you lazy piece of sh*t
