Good for A but bad for B

The expression which debunks saying that something is "fortunate" or "unfortunate", because they do not specify who benefits or looses as a consequence of an event or outcome.

"Fortunate" and "unfortunate" are now debunked and archaic words. They are being replaced by "good for but bad for".

Because saying that a thing is " fortunate " or " unfortunate " does not specify who benefits and who looses. Thus, it's best to, for example, say, " It's good for A but bad for B that ____________________ ( a specific thing happenend ) " .

salaried slave

A funny way to call an employee.

Slave owners figured out that they can exploit human beings more profitably by tricking them and enslaving them covertly. The trick works like this. Employers post a help wanted ad, interview candidates and hire the ones they see will be more productive. They pay each employee a salary. By hiring a worker employers, some of who are in reality slave masters, have shifted the burden of maintaining a slave from themselves to the employee because now the employee is the one who must obtain his or her own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. That is what salaries are for, and that's why some 'Help Wanted' ads should really be called 'Slave Wanted' ads, some employees a 'salaried slave,' and some employers 'slave masters.'

error-free

Error-free is a way to live, work, and play by doing what is necessary to not commit any errors.

Though one cannot always determine immediately after executing a specific action whether it was a success, a failure, or an error, time usually answers that question. Living error-free demands greater concentration and skill, is advantageous and well worth it.

100% attraction

The way a person feels when they see and/or hear and/or touch someone who they realize they feel 100% attracted to.

Though I even felt sexually attracted to a woman I met at work last Friday, it was not a 100% attraction. That type makes one feel as if a magnet is pulling you.
