you must construct additional pylons 

This is possibly the most annoying phrase in the real-time-strategy game Starcraft.

The basic objective of Starcraft is to make a big army to destroy your opponent, however you have this army-size limit known as 'supply' that can only be increased by building a specific building, and for the alien faction 'protoss', that building is the pylon. So every 2-4 soldiers you build, you most build another pylon to sustain them. If you forget, a voice says "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS", and at that point, you realise that you can't build any more guys until you send a worker to build the pylon, and then wait for the pylon to finish. Then, 4 soldiers later, you will have to build ANOTHER one.

What makes this phrase especially annoying is how often the guy says it if you forget to build them, because soldiers of the protoss race take up so much supply, and their pylons provide such little supply.

human constructs 

Ideas made up and carried out by humans for purpose of clarification, that actually don't exist.

Money is a human construct because it is given value, and without its given value it wouldn't be worth anything.

Human Constructs make up man things...

constructive criticism 

Fortunately, there are several excellent methods for giving constructive criticism that are unlikely to trigger bad feelings. Since requests go a much longer way toward achieving cooperation than snide remarks, put-downs and negative declarations, the first method of constructive criticism is to request a specific change in the future instead of pointing out something negative in the present.

A technique of constructive criticism is called the "sandwich method" in which one sandwiches the meat of a criticism between two positive comments.

Hence, instead of saying "You did a lousy job writing this report," using the sandwich method one could say "You did a great job on the introduction, but the middle section and conclusion seem a little weak. With a bit more work, I'm sure you can tighten it up into a really good report."

It's also important to keep in mind that how you say things matters as much as what you say. If you want to deliver constructive criticism skillfully it's helpful to practice using "I-statements" rather than "You-statements”

destructive criticism.

To summarize:

Try the "sandwich method" as much as possible.

Practice requesting positive change in the future instead of complaining about current behavior.

Deliver your messages in the form of I-statements rather than You-statements.

Finally, keep in mind that giving criticism is a skill that, like all skills, can be mastered through learning and practice.

“what do you think about constructive criticism?
“I think it’s good as long as you don’t be harsh”
“I agree!”

Kirk Construct

A situation presented for the express purpose of discussion intended to highlight flaws in the idea and evolve it while exposing the moral values of the individuals involved.

The parameters of said argument constantly evolve and change with the will of the originator, thus creating an ever fluctuating topic.

"What would you do if ten naked lesbian vampires came into your room and wanted to rape you?"

"I'd leave."

"No, you can't, the door is locked."

"I'd jump out the window."

"That's sealed shut."

"Die happy."
