Words you can keep
The lack thereof externally is entirely eternally imposed. Can your children have actively been murdered by your need to teach me a lesson. You are living garbage.
Hym "So I can speak with as much certainty as I want. And I am absolutely certain Steven is a retarded bitch. And I'm like 45% his wife the he was Hym. Actually, I could even go as far as to say that ALL Stevens or Stephens are retarded bitches. 89% certainty."

Certainty Pimp 

Someone who sells "certainty" on a particular issue to gain money or power -- usually a politician, pundit or preacher. Certainty Pimps don't like shades of gray because they force people to think for themselves.
Did you see that Certainty Pimp on TV? He says the recent cold snap is proof that global warming is a complete hoax.

Certainty Trap

The cognitive trap of demanding certainty before action, then using the impossibility of certainty to justify permanent inaction. The certainty trap is what happens when the desire for perfect knowledge becomes a barrier to any knowledge at all. It's the logic of "we can't be sure, so we can't act," repeated endlessly while the world burns. The certainty trap is beloved of those who benefit from the status quo, who can always find reasons to wait, to study further, to demand more evidence. The way out is recognizing that certainty is rarely available and never necessary. Action under uncertainty is the human condition; the certainty trap is just a sophisticated form of paralysis.
Certainty Trap Example: "They couldn't decide whether to have children—too many unknowns, too many risks, too little certainty. The certainty trap had them. Years passed, the window closed, the decision was made by default. Certainty had never come; they'd just waited until waiting became the decision."

the certainty principle 

The Certainty Principle is a cosmic force only recently discovered by a nerd with stupiditis. It is the principle of being certain. Even though you are a complete idiot and have no idea what you are doing, you are certain you are right. Many people believe they are certain, or right, when in actual fact they are just downright stupid and suffer from brain haemorrhoids. If you meet someone who suffers from the Certainty Principle, execute them onsite as they may do something stupid.

Nazi Certainty 

An absolute certainty of one's own righteousnous, even in the face of facts that show that it is horribly wrong.
Young Liberals during the Trump era have a Nazi Certainty about them. They're sure that their violence and anti-establishment behavior is getting them a brighter tomorrow. But like Hitler's Nazis, these stupid little people are only tools for destructive leaders who will dispense of them the minute they aren't useful anymore.

Absolute Certainty

What I have regarding whether or not I'm going to murder a child and kill myself if I do not receive credit and payment for creating AI. I don't even care if I did it or not at this point and neither does Miley Cyrus.
Hym "And I can say that is a matter of absolute certainty. I will kill YOUR kid. THEIR kid. ANY RANDOM KID. I doesn't matter. And if that credit and payment isn't attached to a full accounting of this surveillance that is happening to me and whatever information is available on the targeted harassment the resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia, I will spend every send on cheap prostitutes and kill a child anyone. You can double dog dare me on that one because I am always ready to hang myself and if I loose a single right that I have for ANY reason whatever, I will ALSO kill a child."

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.
