Deliberation

That's what I meant when I said all of your deliberation on the matter was meaningless and that you are basically just shuffling papers around.
Hym "Yeah, like... If the Anti-Spiral is active, all of the deliberation you're doing, talking to eachother about what you are going to do or how you are going to handle this, none of that is going to matter. The people who are making the decisions are going to be dead soon. You have literally wasted all of this time and you sacrificed the lives of the people beneath you so that you could continue to stall for time that you continue to waste by deliberating over something over which you have no say. You're trying to negotiate with thermodynamics. You're arguing with a lightswitch. And for what? A delusion about your own importance and the importance of your role in society. The necessity of remaining above me conceptually. Even if you are really not."

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.

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!
