possible-contingent dichotomy

A successor to the dichotomy of causation and correlation that expresses the positive-normative dichotomy in terms of time itself.

The possible-contingent dichotomy argues that there are only two categories of observation: possible and acausal.

Time emerges to become the only contingency; making it the foundation of acausality.

contingency anxiety

Fear of being ill- or under-prepared for a situation.

Dude, why are you packing three bottles of Astroglide for a weekend with Clarice?

It's contingency anxiety! What if a bottle cracks? What if it spills? Can't risk it! Gotta have back up...

contingency present

A present purchased in the case a present was purchased for you. The receipt is saved, so that upon not receiving a present you can recoup your money.

I think my sister got me a present this year, so I bought a contingency present just in case.

Post-Mortem, Contingent Nihilist

Weak, Alex. Weak sauce. Pretty soon you're going to be doing your videos in spastically-colored suits and accusing your audience of not knowing what they mean when they say words.

Hym "Wouldn't I be a Post-Mortem, Contingent Nihilist? I mean, I've been pretty explicit. And I've infected Jordan Peterson with it. Now he's haunted by the idea that no matter what he does, immediately after his death his kids will have terrible misfortune. At the moment of his death he can assume that the rest of time will occur. His loved ones effectively die with him. And now, in his insane desperation, he's trying to collude with the government to make earth hell for 'the wrong type of person' to poison the well with his own rotting corpse."

Contingency Contract

A game mode in Arknights that only big-brain players can pass. In Contingency Contract (or shorten as CC), there will be a lot of buff and debuff selection, each will have its own difficulty, accumulating to a score called Contingency Level (a.k.a Risk). Each CC season will last 2 weeks. During the first week, the highest risk you can achieve is Risk 26 (Most of the time Risk 18), in week 2 it is 32

Player 1: Hey, have you seen that video where 777Ucky passed Contingency Contract season 6 Risk 18 with only 2 operators?
Player 2: What the heck? I can only pass Risk 5 with 13 operators! How can he do that?

Contingent

I don't believe that. I think what people are trying to do is link me to that retard in such a way that...

Hym "How I'm perceived is contingent upon how I spoke about the retard as a form of karmic retribution. You're not directing the rhetoric at me because it's concordant with truth. Your saying about me because you want there to be some form of retribution for someone you have more sympathy for than me. That's why we get all of the asymmetrical motivational policing. You'd be quick to say that I'm motivated by attention seeking or profit motives or fame but I can just as easily point the spotlight to your motivations or claim that you're projecting. It isn't productive and what I would or have posited is likely more consistent with truth than the claim that I did THIS so that everyone would love me and throw money and women at me and carry me around on a Xerxes throne."
