Douglas Paradox

The "Douglas Paradox" describes a situation where improvements to a rental property, while increasing the rent, don't necessarily increase the property's market value in a way that reflects the rent increase. This can happen due to factors like differing valuations between rental income and property value, or when certain improvements primarily benefit tenants rather than increasing the property's appeal to buyers.

We must think about the Douglas Paradox because fitting a luxury bathroom kitchen will increase the rent a tenant is willing to pay but it will not increase the capital value of the property.

The Janet Paradox

When Julayne and me disclose to everyone that our Relationship was a lie. I.e. we were never a couple. We were just certifying our acting abilities in Hell.

If someone is getting too much over on Julayne's we introduce them to the Janet Paradox. Pair of Drs. Pair of Docs, Doc Martins. Air Where? Every Where.

Digsby's Paradox

The inherent contradiction that exists in an Eastern European Muslim - caused by the conflict between the islamic aversion to alcohol, nicotine, and sexual promiscuity, and the Eastern European ego need for such things.

Richard: Hey why does Andrew Tate smoke cigars, drink alcohol, and fuck random women? Isn't he a muslim?
Joseph: It's Digsby's Paradox, bro.

The A.I. jobs paradox

Here it is: It's the conflict between these 2 ideas. It's "We all have to row the boat so HE should have to keep rowing" BUT "He created A.I. and it's going to take our jobs." So not only do YOU want YOU to have to keep rowing the boat. But YOU want ME to HAVE TO do it with you even IN THE ABSENCE of you having to do it. So, you WANT to keep pushing the rock up the hill but you won't let me stop even though I don't.

Hym "And that is the A.I. jobs paradox. I've saved you from a sinking ship and you're demanding that we both should have to get back on the ship. You're demanding that I ought to drown with you."

Hanlon's Paradox

When someone is both stupid and malicious and you can't tell which is the dominant factor driving a behavior.

The boss just assigned Dickhead McGee to my team and I can't decide if he did it because he doesn't know that it's a terrible idea, or he just hates me and wants to see me suffer. It's a real Hanlon's Paradox.

Shitbox Paradox

When you constantly are having to constantly fix and rig an old car to run in order to appear as having an original running model.

I love being the only person in town with a 1970’s model Bronco, but I gotta hold some wires together so the ignition works… it’s just the Shitbox Paradox!
