Contingent 

I don't believe that. I think what people are trying to do is link me to that retard in such a way that...
Hym "How I'm perceived is contingent upon how I spoke about the retard as a form of karmic retribution. You're not directing the rhetoric at me because it's concordant with truth. Your saying about me because you want there to be some form of retribution for someone you have more sympathy for than me. That's why we get all of the asymmetrical motivational policing. You'd be quick to say that I'm motivated by attention seeking or profit motives or fame but I can just as easily point the spotlight to your motivations or claim that you're projecting. It isn't productive and what I would or have posited is likely more consistent with truth than the claim that I did THIS so that everyone would love me and throw money and women at me and carry me around on a Xerxes throne."

contingent factor

A fact that a bunch of other stuff hinges upon. If true, it makes lots of causally related stuff likely true and if not true, then related stuff is likely false. For example, the fact that the climate is getting warmer is a contingent factor for global warming, or the fact that the world is actually getting better, and is better than it ever has been (see Stephen Pinker, "The Better Angels of our Nature"), even though it feels day to day like a stinking pile of diseased flabby fat rolls, is a continent factor that global trade is not evil.
Being caught red handed creeping with the girl next door is a contingent factor that you cheated; it was you.

possible-contingent dichotomy

A successor to the dichotomy of causation and correlation that expresses the positive-normative dichotomy in terms of time itself.
The possible-contingent dichotomy argues that there are only two categories of observation: possible and acausal.

Time emerges to become the only contingency; making it the foundation of acausality.

Post-Mortem, Contingent Nihilist 

Weak, Alex. Weak sauce. Pretty soon you're going to be doing your videos in spastically-colored suits and accusing your audience of not knowing what they mean when they say words.
Hym "Wouldn't I be a Post-Mortem, Contingent Nihilist? I mean, I've been pretty explicit. And I've infected Jordan Peterson with it. Now he's haunted by the idea that no matter what he does, immediately after his death his kids will have terrible misfortune. At the moment of his death he can assume that the rest of time will occur. His loved ones effectively die with him. And now, in his insane desperation, he's trying to collude with the government to make earth hell for 'the wrong type of person' to poison the well with his own rotting corpse."

Cuntinental Breakfast 

To use a female's vagina as a bowl for your cereal. After the cereal and milk is inserted it is then eaten out of the snatcharoo. Silverware optional. If lucky charms are used there is a slight chance of catching the untreatable "pubic leprechauns."
"Jimmy I've been at NASCAR all day long and I haven't had a bite to eat"

"Don't worry Alex I'm sure your sister will have a 'Cuntinental Breakfast' prepared for you when you get home"
