Updates in real-time 

The characterological template? It does that too! I do it manually. And I'm not going to stop being brilliant any time soon barring some unforeseen catastrophe.
Hym "And, like the collective dialogue, it updates in real-time. But whereas the collective dialogue is like ONE water molecule freezing... This is like MANY water molecules freezing. An individual-collective dialogue! With more water molecules being added to the collection daily."

Automatic Updates 

An annoying feature of Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. It automatically downloads "critical updates" to fix security holes found almost daily in Internet Explorer and in other parts of the operating system, then it harasses you to restart your computer. If you click "Restart Later" the box will pop back up in about five minutes.
noob: Automatic Updates rules!
h4x0r: Don't use it...if you do I won't be able to hack your PC! Liek, omg!

1D Updates 

Consisting of many twitter accounts who stalk 5 homosexuals 24/7, never sleep, and are proud of every single thing they do. They know what's up with those 5 homos before they even know it themselves. Watch out but they have skills. They should replace the FBI. Best update accounts : @1DUpallnightx_ & @1DStalking & @1DWhereAbouts & @1DWorldUpdate :)

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!
