hope gap

the gap between being concerned about the changing climate and doing something about it.

And our research has shown there is a hope gap. Even people who are most alarmed at climate change don’t know what the solutions are. Many people feel scared and frustrated and impotent. Which is patently wrong. It’s solvable. - Anthony Leiserowitz

hope

To bring up a major topic with a lot of emotional stigma and then blow it off and not say any more once the opposite person(s) become invested in said topic; to imply that you know more, but hold back information like a bitch

Girl: So, I was with the guys and one of them totally thinks you're hot.
Girl 2: Really? WHO?
Girl: Don't freak out, it's no big deal. You wouldn't be interested anyways.
Girl 2: Wtf, why even bring it up if you're not going to tell me? You CANNOT hope me on this.
Girl: ~ doesn't text back ~

Beacon of Hope

Unless he's got a fat cock!

Hym "Then he's just more evidence I'm right! Just goes to show how far the fat cock will carry you. Create A.I. literally? Nothing! Have a fat cock? Fuck all the actresses!"

Destiny "Et's probably both nebulous and his personality bro! Becuase everything is nebulous and internal locus of control bro!"

Hym "You... You get the fuck out of here... I have something for your 'internal locus of control Peterson sphere bullshit..... Ok.. So, your 'beacon of hope' is likely nothing more than a fat-cocked poll-vault. This idiot using his fat-cock to launch himself to greater and greater heights."

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

The industry that is in Mobile, Louisiana, or Florida in September for the hurricanes and in the Midwest in the spring for the tornados. They're not even around long enough to give a fuck about anybody, if another hurricane hit a few weeks later in the Bahamas, they'd already be in the Bahamas with a new story, a new group of people they care so much about, and a new fundraising and rescue effort underway.

The grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry is not on your side, they are not your friend. They are just the people that control your supply chain (they have all the power) if you end up fucked. They are the same people that control the weapons, military, government, industry, and first responders.
