Indiana Deer Strangler

It’s where she’s about to orgasm, but then she looks at you like a deer in head lights, so you hit her with your car.

RIP Casey, heard she had a good time hitting that Indiana Deer Strangler!

green bubble struggle

A reflection of Apple's anti-competitive practices. By disallowing iMessage on Android, Apple deliberately creates interoperability problems, notably including broken group chats when users attempt to communicate using a mixed set of operating systems.

In a 2013 internal email, Apple software chief Craig Federighi wrote: “I am concerned iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove an obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.”

Apple's refusal to participate in an open standards process has broken many of our group chats. It's been a real green bubble struggle.

Green bubble struggle

The bane of Crapple-worshipping sheep everywhere - who just love to whine about it, and selfishly expect others to waste way too much of their hard-earned money on overpriced iShit built by literal slaves in Foxconn's factories, instead of simply using a different chat app like a courteous human being - because of Crapple's abusive vendor lock-in policies, which are designed specifically to lead teenage users to bully anyone who isn't rich or gullible enough to buy a Crapple device.

Crapple Fanboi: "Ugh, I can't be friends with anyone who has an Android... otherwise I'd have to deal with the green bubble struggle..."

Sane Person: "Why not use another chat app so phone brands don't determine who your friends are?"

Crapple Fanboi: "... I don't wanna. If someone uses an Android, they're not worth being friends with."

Sane Person: "Wow. What a prick."

Would definitely struggle in historics

Used to comedy effect to describe the fastest of drivers. When describing the most elite pedallers of motorsport. Adding irony of someone so naturally talented losing to motorsport cheats.

Joey was absolutely on it in the wet conditions at the Formula Ford Festival; he would definitely struggle in historics

Science Power Struggle

The often-hidden political and economic battle over who controls the direction, funding, and narrative of scientific research. This is the dark underbelly of pure inquiry: tenured professors blocking rival theories, corporate funders shaping study outcomes, governments weaponizing research for prestige, and publishers charging outrageous fees. It's the realization that the "marketplace of ideas" is a rigged game with gatekeepers, investors, and propaganda.

Example: "His groundbreaking paper on a cheap battery was buried because of the science power struggle. A senior reviewer with ties to a lithium-ion company sat on it for a year, then recommended rejection based on a minor methodology quibble. Truth doesn't win; it needs a lobbyist."

Science Paradigms Struggle

The messy, often brutal process described by Thomas Kuhn where an old scientific paradigm (like Newtonian physics) is challenged by too many anomalies, leading to a crisis and eventual revolution, installing a new paradigm (like Einsteinian relativity). The struggle isn't just about data; it's about power, reputation, and worldview. Old-guard professors die, textbooks are rewritten, and what was heresy becomes dogma until the next crisis.

Example: "The conference on consciousness was a full-blown science paradigms struggle. The neuroscientists waved fMRI scans, the quantum biologists talked about orchestrated reductions, and the panpsychists quoted ancient philosophy. It was less a debate and more a three-way intellectual cage match with a cash bar." Science Paradigms Struggle

Science Paradigm Struggle

The messy, often brutal intellectual civil war that erupts when a new scientific theory (like plate tectonics, relativity, or germ theory) challenges the established, dominant paradigm. It's not a polite debate over data; it's a fight for the soul of a field, where careers, reputations, and entire worldviews are at stake. Old-guard professors who built their lives on the old model dig in, journals reject radical papers, and the new idea is mocked—until the evidence becomes undeniable, the old guard dies off, and textbooks are rewritten. It's the painful, essential process by which science, an inherently conservative institution, is forced to evolve.

Example: "The conference on consciousness was a full-blown Science Paradigm Struggle. The neuroscientists, armed with fMRI scans, defended their materialist model like a fortress. The quantum biologists, talking about 'orchestrated objective reduction,' were the besieging army. The panpsychists were the weird partisans in the hills, shouting that everyone was wrong. It was less a symposium and more a three-way academic knife fight over who gets to own the future of the mind."
