A very primal and potent form of instinctive behavioral learning. This is innate in humans and animals of all kind (including fish, worms, etc). Classical conditioning forms the reason and basis for all unhealthy addictions and fetishes.
In an Orwellian type of situation, one could theoretically take over the world if they could classical condition their citizens (in fact, megacorporations are already doing it right now via advertisements).

The teacher played the exact same song every time we took a quiz. I now hate that song thanks to classical conditioning.
Even though I ate dinner, I started craving for a burger after watching a Wendy's commercial, all thanks to classical conditioning.
After seeing all these hot bikini girls in a beer commercial, brad suddenly felt the desire to crack open a cold one, all thanks to classical conditioning.
You could very well get turned on by a fire hydrant all thanks to classical conditioning.

Get the Classical Conditioning mug.An absolute dogshit of a president, and that's a fact. Go read literally every definition here to see why this dude was a real phony and scumbag. Those who keep writing good definitions of him will keep on being downvoted indefinitely.
Ronald Reagan the type of dude who would promote decadent consumerism and large-scale industrialism (à la laissez faire) while downplaying serious issues such as climate change, the income gap, and social equity and welfare in general. A reagan society would be a dystopian one where the middle-class and the lower-class live in atrociously different environments.
He is that type of villain in a dystopian movie who appears to be outwardly friendly and good-hearted towards his citizens but in reality he is a cunning deceitful SOB who takes advantage of them.

Get the Ronald Reagan mug.A tax you need to pay every month just to use emotes from other servers. Of course there are many other perks to Nitro, but realistically most people like me are just paying for the emotes. Pretty lame, but what can we do?

Get the Discord Nitro mug.Basically just another term for friends with benefits, where the relationship only consists of fucking and nothing else.

Get the Free radical mug.You people have it all wrong! The lesser-known definition/concept of ideology (favored by Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Hall etc.) is less about a "visible set of beliefs" and more about the internalization of how one perceives and interacts with their reality. Though somewhat indirectly related, it generally has nothing to do with politics and economic policies.
Ideology is everything under the hood, everything you take for granted without consciously realizing it. Therefore, it would be safe to say that language is an ideology, since it follows a set of grammatical rules that we have to take for granted in order to communicate.
It would also be safe to say that love is an ideology, as loving someone does not take any conscious reasoning. Love is so deep-seated in us that we treat love as an unstoppable force, and not as simply as chemical fluctuations in the brain and body.
Really, anything could be seen as an ideology if we start deconstructing the very foundations of reality.

Me, an intellectual: Man... thinking back, university were the good days, really learned a lot there.
Typical hate-mongering political zealot: Yeah... good days when you were indoctrinated with leftist ideology garbage!
Me, an intellectual: Heh, ideology. You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

Get the Ideology mug.Wet And Messy is type of sexual kink & fetish that has been around for quite a while (a while in my POV is two decades).
Basically the premise is that some people find it erotic when girls cover themselves or play with certain substances that have satisfying tactile properties. For me, it's anything with a thick, viscous or slimy consistency, such as honey, liquid soap or detergent, simulated mucus, nuru gel, or slime itself. This kink is most (in)famous for using food substances, but this is entirely optional (I much prefer non-food substances, with the exception being confectionary stuff like syrup or whipped cream).
This kink can be depicted with or without any additional sexual acts being performed. I personally find it really erotic when the performer wallows and slides around in the substance on a flat surface.
This kink can also be performed by yourself, which I've been doing ever since I discovered it, and it really gets me off.

My journey with Wet And Messy began as a pre-teen when I realized that watching girls sliding around in fucktons of shampoo or laundry detergent was a massive turn on.
