policing
The act of telling people what they can and can't do, according to your own personal viewpoint. This mainly extends to interests, hobbies, things they enjoy. Used most often by social justice bloggers on the website Tumblr, often turning to mass hate on people whose interests do not fall within the strict guidelines of what these bloggers deem acceptable for the masses. There are blogs set up literally so people can anonymously say they enjoy these things without being attacked. I'm pretty sure totalitarian governments do exactly the same thing.
"You can't watch (insert any tv show here) because the main character is a white male and the show makes offensive jokes. You are the scum of the earth if you enjoy it."
"If you like (insert anything here) then unfollow me immediately, because you do not understand social justice and I will not be associated with you!"
"I really enjoy Family Guy, I think it makes good social comment and it makes me laugh-" "Get off Tumblr! You don't belong here, you piece of shit. Go kill yourself you sexist racist homophobic transphobic privileged fuck!"
"I'm not putting any of my interests on tumblr, there is always something "problematic" with them." "Policing social justice bloggers?" "Yeah."

George Floyd Justice in Policing Act
A policing reform bill drafted by Democrats in the United States Congress. The legislation aims to make it illegal for law-enforcement officers to attempt to apprehend criminals. This bill, named after a deceased career criminal who resisted lawful arrest, is labeled as the first step in Democrats, liberals, and progressives attempting to defund and eliminate police. Authors of the legislation hope to have a society with no accountability for crime, and high drug use, without repercussions. If signed into law, the bill will make it a felony for law-enforcement officers to attempt to apprehend, or defend against violent resistance, criminals who routinely victimize people of society.
When officers arrived at the robbery in progress at the liquor store, the criminal invoked the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, while holding the store clerk hostage and waving a stolen pistol around. Officers were forced to leave the scene and let the victim take care of himself.

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.

TLDU
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!
