Irreversible 

Controversial French flick released in 2002, directed by Gaspar Noe. Won the "Bronze Horse" award at the Stockholm Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Also one of the most difficult movies to watch, due to a 9-minute rape scene and a guy getting his face caved in with a fire-extinguisher to some really creepy-ass music.

More than 200 people walked out of Irreversible at Cannes, mostly due to its lengthy rape scene.

irreversible consequence 

A consequence that cannot be reversed.
Some consequences are evitable, such as preventing or reducing the extent of an injury by wearing a seat-belt, or preventing a pregnancy by using a condom.

However, other consequences are inevitable, such as being disliked after saying something offensive.

And an irreversible consequence is one no one can go back in time and prevent from taking place because the action which produced it was executed.

The only way to prevent any type of consequence is by not executing an action (known to produce certain types of consequences).

Nonetheless, not doing anything might also generate some type of foreseeable or unforeseeable consequence.

Irreversible 

Something of which, once it has occured, cannot be changed nor undone.

Irrespensible 

One who is irresponsible with their spending and will blow cash impulsively.
Kambell: "you've been buying a lot of random shit recently"

Darbee: "I know! I need to stop being so irrespensible"
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
