the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma 

One of the greatest qoutes from the wisest mind of our generation. Other qoutes by him include "Who you calling Pinhead!" and "FINLAAAAAND!!!!". Genius.
Patrick- You may be an open book Spongebob, but I am a bit more complicated than that. The Inner Machinations of my mind are an enigma. (thought bubble appears showing the milk following down as the downfall of society, and how it screwed itself over by the fact that the milk fell by itself. The cloth resembles the high class of society, which carries the milk (society) and gets corrupted by the milk. The enigma is what caused the milk to fall in the first place? This some deep shit patrick)

machiavelli 

Awesome dude who lived in Italy a loong time ago. His best known book is "The Prince", which contains political tips for rulers. Some of his ideas from this book (and maybe a few from "The Discourses") as far as I can remember:

-The Prince must be ruthless.
-Effectiveness > good/bad.
-Power should be acquired, not hereditary.
-People are moral because others are watching. Political morality is lying and killing. Politicians must learn how NOT to be good.
-Be feared; cruelty is a part of the state. But remember that the best fortress that exists is to avoid being hated by the people. Three ways to avoid being hated: Don't be erratic. Don't be a coward, FIGHT. And don't do anything for no reason.
-Concept of seeming vs being: The Prince, while seeming human, must learn how to be a beast. Like a fox (cunning and tricky) or a lion (powerful).
-And my personal favorite, he talks about these two dudes named Agathocles the Sicilian and Oliverotto of Fermo who both held meetings/banquets with leaders and important people and killed them all and took over as ruler. Point is, the elite can be killed, they're not important. The people are important.
-Choose the people around you wisely. Ass kissers prevent you from seeing the truth cause they're always like "yes, you're awesome" to everything.
-For a strong society, you must assume that everyone has the potential to be evil and make laws accordingly. People act good only when forced, laws exist where desire is.

Machiavellian

Someone who is extremely good at manipulating and deceiving people for their own selfish gain. Examples of Machiavellians include, but are not limited to: IRS scammers, sugar daddys, e-girls, e-prostitutes, black hat hackers, Donald Trump, your girlfriend (potentially), sketchy sellers on Aliexpress, and that guy down the street who claims he is homeless.

If you are a Machiavellian, please do take note that machiavellianism begets machiavellianism. Research has shown that people who have been psychologically manipulated are more likely to manipulate others.
Dude 1: So I heard you bought some custom videos from this e-girl on Reddit, how'd that go for you?
Dude 2: Extremely bad. I thought she was legit and everything, she even showed me a screenshot of the video, but once I had paid her she never replied back.
Dude 1: Damn dude, I mean I wouldn't have trusted some random internet girl in the first place. The online sex market is filled with Machiavellians, y'know?

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
