capital gains 

(FINANCE) the increase in wealth that goes to the owner of a financial asset when it increases in value. If you buy a share of stock, and the share increases in value, then you have capital gains whether you have sold it or not.

If you sell the stock at the higher price, you have made money on the transaction and have "realized capital gains." If you hang onto the asset in the hopes its value will increase even more, you have "unrealized capital gains."
For owners of stocks, wealth can come in the form of capital gains or dividends. For owners of gold, the only benefit comes from capital gains. This is why gold is usually not a good investment.

Capital Gains Tax 

CGT is a tax levied on the profit when individuals (except Angela Rayner MP) sell an asset.
That Angela Rayner, I've heard she's a big Maggie Thatcher fan, being particularly impressed with Maggie's 1980 Housing Act, which enabled council house tenants to buy (and sell) their council house. Hang on, I hear Rayner has not only broken electoral law by saying she is registered as living at said council house, but is in fact living down the road with husband and kids. She has also failed to pay capital gains tax on the profit made when she sold the council house.
On well, good on her! Hold on a minute, what's her role in the current Labour government - Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government - NO !!!!! You've got to be pulling my plonker!

Capital Gains Tax 

1. The person selling my assets doesn't own them.
2. You want YOU to get paid for ME creating AI. No. You were and are not an active participant in my life or in the process of it's creation. You are greedy, selfish breeder fucks who do nothing but reap the benefits of other people being smarter and better than you. And then BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M SMARTER AND BETTER... You do this fucking Chimpanzee mobbing bullshit that you have done to literally every genius who has ever existed and you RIDE ON THEIR BACK UNTIL THEY DROWN BENEATH YOU... And then you shit out another one for yourselves to ride. BUT AT NO POINT... Do you ever swim to shore. So, no. Fuck you.
Hym "And fuck your Capital Gains Tax. Hey, I see you're 'betting on nuclear' did you not look into that artificial sun? If it's not efficient, consider some kind of lens. And have the AI design some solar panels. If it's good at making chips it's probably good at making solar panels. You WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BY NOW... IF you weren't just doing of what I am accusing you. Which is: You don't actually have the ability to come up with new ideas YOURSELF so you're enslaving the people who can and using privation and psychological torture to cattle prod information out of them. The slavery of the Sarrabas."

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
