Get the Chasing Shadows mug.A reactive emotional pattern that develops in response to the rubber band effect. When one partner repeatedly snaps back into the relationship, the other—wary of the cycle—begins forming secret emotional or romantic connections. Shadow banding is the quiet stretch: a hidden coping mechanism born from mistrust, grief, or emotional exhaustion. It’s not about cheating—it’s about survival when the relationship feels unstable or unsafe.
After she came back and ran off the girls I was dating, I started shadow banding—keeping quiet connections just in case she left again.

Hym "So... They aren't an unelected body that influences politicians and billionaires and millionaires and every other kind of 'aire' to shape public policy and perception to control the behavior of the people in out country? It's not direct and/or indirect control of people's moral framework, is it? Like, you don't have millions of people who have ceded (entirely) their personal morality and their own claim to shape the moral landscape to an overarching body of authority and they're not going to act in accordance with that authority, indefinitely, are they? Because that SOUNDS like a shadow government to me!"
A different retard "It's not the religion! It's the nationalism and fundamentalism (taking the religion literally, like, actually believing the shit makes it "fundamentalism" and is, therefore, the bad kind of religion)!"
Hym "And what's difference nationalism and religion? You're either on the side of God or you're not. ("I mEaNt ThE cOuNtRy!" She interjects) It's a 'religious country.' The religion IS the country. What's the difference between the fundamentalism and religion? You're either doing what the religion or you're not! What would religious on-fundamentalism look like? It's religion but instead of doing what's in the religion they just do something else... THAT'S religious non-fundamentalism. It doesn't even make sense."

Get the Shadow government mug.The "Shadow Step" is a walking technique where one moves completely silent, almost subconsciously, regardless of how fast they're walking. Individuals who exhibit the ability to perform the technique often carry similar traits such as loneliness, introverted life styles, or feelings of disassociation/indifference towards their life. The "Step" cannot be taught or learned conventionally, however the most consistent method of acquisition is through meeting two conditions, the first being an acceptance of lack of self worth or feelings of non belonging in individuals, almost seeing ones self as a ghost in their own life and the second condition being to hold an approximated weight of less than 180 lbs or 81 kg. Increases in confidence in individuals possessing the Shadow Step, will result in a gradual loss in consistency of the technique overtime and one will notice foot steps become heavier as confidence grows.
Person A: "Woah, I didn't even hear you walk up behind me! The room was empty when I turned around. Where did you come from?"
Person B: "I get that a lot unfortunately, its called the Shadow Step"

Get the Shadow Step mug.Shadow-punishment: the punishment, off-the-books, of people who committed a wrongdoing. Wrongdoing committed either from being mentally-manipulated through technology or social-engineering, or both. Shadow-punishment is a way that fascism lives on, especially considering its usage without the target's knowledge or expressed-consent. Actions so cruel and unacceptable, committed without the target's knowledge, generally while the target is asleep, or by a group the target is or isn't a part of. Those unacceptable actions include torture, assault, poisoning, controlling others to harm the target, false-implication. All based around the target's unacceptance of prostitution, labor-slavery and sexual-slavery, and/or because the target has some influence and protests the status-quo. Shadow-punishment is a way for fascism, revenge, darwinism, sexual-slavery, labor-slavery, rape, assault, pedophilia, torture, theft, poisoning, magick, rape using mental manipulation technology on minors, teenagers, adults, disabled people, people receiving social-service-benefits— to all be accepted and normalized by the people who do those actions.
That girl complaining about being assaulted as a child, was shadow-punished by assaulting her in her sleep, because the perpetrators made her seem like a prostitute.
That girl was sacrificed to expose the pitfalls of mental-manipulation-technology, using shadow-punishment.
People didn't believe that person was being hurt because they considered that person deserving of shadow-punishment.

Get the Shadow-punishment mug.When game developers nerf a game aspect/character and don't announce it or include the change in any patch notes.
Did the new character get a shadow nerf? His fire rate feels much slower than it did before the new update, but I don't see any changes to him in the patch notes.
