Parasource

A source of information that is not considered reliable by mainstream academic or journalistic standards but is trusted within a specific subculture, community, or alternative epistemology. Examples include oral traditions, channeled texts, leaked documents with no provenance, anonymous whistleblowers, or social media influencers. Parasources are often dismissed as “not a real source” in formal debates. However, their users argue that mainstream sources are biased and that parasources provide hidden truths. The term is used critically to call out dubious references: “That’s not a source; it’s a parasource – a blog with no editorial oversight.” In some contexts, “parasource” is reclaimed by marginalized groups who reject institutional gatekeeping.
Example: “He cited a Telegram channel as evidence. She said: ‘That’s a parasource – no author, no verification, no accountability. I can’t accept it.’ He replied: ‘Mainstream media is also biased. Parasources are the only way to get uncensored information.’”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
