Wingman's reward

When you get to hook up with the friend of the girl that your mate is going for, because you and the girl friend are stuck with each other and there's not much else to do.

It's not a great reward but better than going home empty handed.

Note that it's not a wingmans' reward if you're actually into the girl. That's tag teaming and not wingmanning.

I wingmanned Kyle last night and collected a half decent wingman's reward.

intermittent variable rewards

On social media platforms like YouTube, this term commonly abbreviated as IVRs refer to engagement metrics, such as likes, comments and subscriptions. For creators, this type of engagement can lead to more dopamine in the brain, resulting in a rush of pleasure and validation for their work.

The way his subscriber count kept climbing was all thanks to those intermittent variable rewards; every notification felt like a little win!

Rewards

I used to hate rewards programs but this one is alright.

Iam "Yo! Let's go! 9 bucks in my rewards today! Where did that come from? Nice!"

Hym "It's it sad that the only opportunities some people are presented in life are whether or not they want to continue to suffer at the hands of others? The only rewards a timely death?

Iam "What? Yeah... I mean, I guess... Why? That's not like you..."

Hym "WRONG! It's hilarious! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Iam "Ok... That's what I would expect."

Hym "It was a little forced but, hey, you know what I'm all about"

Rewarding someone for something inherent

Oh? Is that what causes it? Because Simon Baron-Cohen said it was abuse and neglect. And his field of expertise is personality disorders and YOUR is... What? Alcoholism? Substance abuse? You're a REAL expert in that aren't you?

Hym "Rewarding someone for something inherent like selecting for fat cock? Nonono not that. Just the 'Lucifarian intellect.' Which literally translates to 'You're more intelligent than me but you won't adopt the axioms of my belief system, therefore, you are bad.' This is just more of you using your degree to MAKE SHIT UP so the you can push the message you want to push. Which is lying. You're lying."

Rewardism

The belief or attitude of treating things like love, loyalty, or self-worth as rewards or trophies to be earned, achieved, or owned — especially in a possessive or materialistic way. Rewardism often leads to a toxic mindset where emotional connections are measured like accomplishments, rather than genuine feelings.

She said he finally ‘deserves’ her now that she’s beautiful — that’s rewardism. Love isn’t a trophy, it’s a bond.

Make the most of the Sun’s last few days in your sign to get what you are working on to a level where it cannot be undone by anyone at a later date. If you focus on finishing what you have already started the rewards could be spectacular.

old people's self-reward

A slang term for extra (hours of recreational) screen time that seniors can easily have as a form of self-reward; whilst children, teenagers, and younger adults are subject to more stringent behavior requirements to obtain the same duration of extra screen time due to the presence of third-party authority (parents, teachers, institutions, and employers)

It's wild how my grandparents can rack up hours of screen time as some kind of old people's self-reward, while I have to jump through hoops just to watch an extra episode!
