Cognitive distortion 

Share definition Flag
03/02, 17:06 Gary Santino: Cognitive distortion= emotional reasoning = quickest reflexative naturally existing biological component of the brain/mind architecture. This means fewer calories are required for the open-ended possibility of cerebral/ intellectual reasoning to fully examine any analysis of a topic.
03/02, 17:09 Gary Santino: In turn, mental reflexes generate neural pathways for thought processes to travel along without the necessity to commit a fully integrated process, for energy conservation

Therefore, to distrust your frame of reference, in turn, you end up liberating those knee jerk decision making reactions, which take place because you are predominantly using emotional maps.
What do you think of President X, well I think he's useless because he did this to his family.

Examples of bad parenting skills being used against someone's ability to run a countrys affairs, is a classic piece of cognitive distortion, which can be utilised by a political opponent, within a lazy electorate, who have succumbed to personality politics, not the politics on of itself, because of the immediate dopamine reward the brain delivers for the quickest response possible, without engaging an extensive amount of calories.

murderhobo 

Share definition Flag
In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Whale 

Share definition Flag
In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
