Discussion-Based Assessment

A hellish quiz found in virtual schools, typically held over Zoom, where you meet with your teacher and they ask you questions about what you learned in the current module. Known for causing panic attacks and pre-DBA anxiety. They are even worse if you have a teacher that is very awkward with students.

Person 1: "Hey, did you hear what happened to Adriana yesterday?"
Person 2: "No, what happened?"
Person 1: "She killed herself because she didn't want to do her Biology discussion-based assessment."

Discussion Pollution

A person entering a, usually controversial, discussion with the most surface-level, stereotype-based, and hyperbolic arguments possible. Their take then becomes the easy go-to meme response that spreads, resulting in a form of Flanderization for the discussion as a whole, cutting any nuance or complexity to the discourse and adding undeserved importance to it.

Some of the more prevalent examples of this are in discussions of Fermi's paradox, where the go to is, "Aliens don't talk to us because we're stupid," despite how much it's implying about the aliens in question. And arguments about America not using the metric system, with the reason often being, "Americans are too stupid and lazy to understand it," forcing a stereotype and ignoring any actual reasons the US hasn't switched over.
Since these arguments are often done for quick validation, they often have little to no research backing them either due to overconfidence of being right, or an unconscious fear of having to think complexly.

commenter 1: omfg why don't Americans just switch to metric already, why are they too dumb to do government.
commenter 2: You could leave and google how states' rights work, fucking discussion pollution.

drunken discussion

This is what occurs during practice when everyone but your section is outside and you've exhausted every ounce of motivation to practice in you. Does not actually include drunken members, or alcohol for that matter.

*Everyone else but section leaves*

Mike: Okay, let's practice!

*five minutes later*

Mike: Okay, time for a drunken discussion!

Everyone else: It's about time!

Pro-Ana Support and Discussion Chatzy

A chatroom for Pro Anorexia discussion, but the admin is non-existent and the mods are TERRIBLE! A wasteland of a place.

Hey! Have you seen Blah (mod) on Pro-Ana Support and Discussion Chatzy recently?

You mean the 40 year old pervert who preys on young, thin girls? Nope! He’s probably busy drinking. Only ED he has is erectile dysfunction.
