NRDM - Never Reply Direct Messages 

Share definition Flag
NRDM is an abbreviation and or acronym used by cryptocurrency fanatics, fans, and DeFi users who have frequently made uncanny and clever observations, that sometimes the sacrificial lamb is one's own kind, when it comes to phishing links and scammers that target their foe through Direct Messages sent via Telegram or Discord Channels, or generally baiting their foe online.

The sacrifices of these sacrificial lambs, has resulted in the social phenomena The Distribution of Clever Abbreviations (DCAs or DoCAs) to help remember that, one should always be weary of suspicious Direct Messages that are sent to us online, especially when they are shrouded in the veil of unparalleled kindness or desires to be helpful, followed by a very odd link that should have otherwise screamed "NOOOO - Don't Click Me!! ( DCM ) --- if it were not for the HTML Link & the oddly familiar sense of safety given the impression of the link & underlining, bringing you quickly to the end of the road for your money, as it connects to a scammer or fraudsters server & database, and quickly sends them all your personal information & access codes, in the blink of an eye *Poof* all gone.

One must find ways to aMUSE one's self with these things, lest we never forget, all the sacrificial lambs of our time. Amen.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
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
