Hym "The thread needs to be pulled taught and we need to reel it in. I am completely willing to make exceptions for you and I have shown that but that is not me not being my identity, it's me making exceptions for, you know, other me. The clear pronoun and intersubjetivity confusion is making it this way harder than it needs to be and the nightmare mode part is the peripheral elements of my existence and not you (Me you and not THAT you) artificially inflating the difficulty like the thing I said about CPU turning the block function on and off in a manner that is inconsistent with how people would actually block."

Hey Rule #1 no exceptions.

Murphy's Law of Exceptions 

"You can follow an 'unpopular' method or procedure 'till da cows come home' and nothing unusual will ever happen to 'justify' or 'vindicate' your unorthodox actions (and you'll likely get continually criticized by others for your chosen behavior), but then the ONE TIME when you eventually 'cave' and actually DO happen to follow the 'standard' or 'acceptable' protocol, THAT'S the solitary 'rogue occasion' when disaster will happen to strike --- something really bad will happen that would not have occurred if you had simply continued to follow your own 'pet' procedure that had seemed better/safer to begin with!"
My "super-long-term-driving-experienced" aunt had gotten fed up with my "back-seat driver" attempts to be helpful by telling her about vehicles that I'd see moving around fairly near our position when we'd be travelling someplace in her car, and so she had eventually asked me to just keep quiet and let here handle the driving herself. Well, of course, within a day or two, Murphy's Law of Exceptions decided to turn and bite me in da butt --- due to a view-obstructing sidewalk-mounted ad-sign, my aunt didn't notice an approaching car, but I did... naturally, that was the ONE TIME that I **didn't** tell her about it because she'd specifically asked me to keep my trap shut on instances like that, and so I'd ASSUMED (there's that word again!) that she'd observed the vehicle bearing down on the intersection. Well, as you might expect, we crashed, and there were multiple injuries in the other car! Can't win...!

Friends with exceptions 

When friends make an exception from a normally “friendly relationship” to a “friends with benefits” like relationship for a limited period of time. They both consent that it will only last for that period of time, and afterwards they go back to being normal friends.

American Exceptionalism

A tool used to keep people satisfied with not knowing how much they are being fucked over.
"America is the greatest nation in the world. It's perfect and nothing needs fixing. It literally can't improve! I already have the best possible lot in life."
--American one lost paycheck away from homelessness

"American Exceptionalism is the best! I can pay my workers poverty wages, and they won't even do anything about it because they don't know any other way of living! Let's make sure things stay that way."
--American Billionaire

buttock exception 

The act of excepting or excluding the buttock(s) from legal definitions of battery or criminal sexual conduct.

See, 609.3451 CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT IN THE FIFTH DEGREE "For purposes of this section, "sexual contact" has the meaning given in section 609.341, subdivision 11, paragraph (a), clauses (i), (iv), and (v), but does not include the intentional touching of the clothing covering the immediate area of the buttocks."
Senator Al Franken is not guilty of criminal sexual conduct when he grabs ass because "the immediate area of the buttocks" is excepted by definition in the relevant criminal statute..you know...the buttock exception. He's just a a dirty old creep.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
