Paradigm Mechanic

Someonr who can't change and entire system, process or worldview, but knows how to tweak it so it's less vile and ficked up.

There's no way we can defeat capitalism, just by ourselves, in the next few months but as paradigm mechanics, we can fuck it up enough to improve it for a lot of people.

paranickel

One-half of a paradidgem.

It takes twenty paranickels --- or ten paradimes --- to make a paradollar. Da concept --- and da math --- is very simple, so don't make a bleepin' PARADOX about it, or you might need a "pair o' docs" --- or at least a pair o' MEDICS in a milder-case scenario --- to handle said meltdown.

Paranight

A paranight is when an abnormality occurs during the night, typically hearing things, seeing things, or abnormal events occurring during the night.

Last night was a total paranight, I kept hearing whispers in the hallway, and my bedroom lights flickered on and off by themselves!

Parasitic Link

Documents that have unwanted and un-needed links that make it tough to edit or save in the cloud. Almost a guarantee the finance team have meddled...

This excel sheet is full of parasitic links, I'm giving it the booster shoot and sending back for cleaning

Paranime

Animation created outside Japan that deliberately adopts the visual style, storytelling methods, or production sensibilities of anime, but has no direct roots in Japanese studios, creators, or source material.
Examples: Canon Busters, Castlevania, Devil may cry (Netflix series), Lord of Mysteries

In short:
Anime’s twin that grew up outside Japan.

Personal note:
Coined as a universal term to clearly separate anime (Japanese animation) from anime-inspired works made in other countries. “Paranime” comes from para- (parallel) + anime, meaning it runs alongside anime without being the same.

Friend: “Bro, Castlevania is the best anime ever.”
Me: “It can’t, because it’s not even an anime—it’s paranime.”
