Validation
Nooooo he validates your religion in a way that you are all too stupid to do yourselves and he controls men by telling them they have a duty to serve you and your piece of shit families in a way that never requires you to reciprocate.
Hym “ I’m pretty sure it just the validation you get from being on “the good team” when in reality you don’t give a shit about anyone who didn’t let you fuck them (which is just validation) or come out of you. That’s all it is. You want yourselves to be validated and your ideological enemies to be disenfranchised. Which makes youuuuuuu...... Just like the leftists! ‘No BuT i’M tHe GoOd OnE!” No. You’re not. You’re the ‘exactly the same as your enemies’ one. That’s the one you are.”

Glippy
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.
Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
