Someone, middle aged, who changes their blog/chat/screen/etc... names, for no other reason other than, they are suffering Midlife Crisis, offline, which has spilled into their online world. I was studying this, AND, knowing this guy from chatting with him for years, I have determined (and coined a new phrase in doing so,) that dude is suffering from COMC (Chatroom Online Midlife Crisis.)
Just now, I was chatting in the room with someone I have spoken to for about 4-5 years, who is pretty much a f'ing jerk, and someone was asking him why did he change his screen name, again (since he didn't lose it to terms of service violations.) I was studying this, AND, knowing this guy from chatting with him for years, I have determined (and coined a new phrase in doing so,) that dude is suffering from Chatroom Online Midlife Crisis (COMC)

The cable tv channel marketed to women showing one insipid movie after another about a woman who finds herself in a compromising or dangerous situation that she barely escapes, and could have avoided altogether had she just used her head.
Hey, lets watch some washed up sitcom actresses on the Women in Crisis Channel!

Two completely opposite phases for a middle-aged person (40-50), usually a divorced man. Opposite phases can appear identical to those who do not know the man in question.
Mid-Life Crisis vs. Mid-Life XTC (ecstasy)
Mid-Life Crisis: Divorced Middle-Aged man buys a Corvette Convertible to attract foxy young Gold-Diggers.
Mid-Life XTC: Poor divorced middle-aged man ends up with a hot young sweetheart who later buys him a Corvette Convertible.

In the opening days of February 2010, a person or persons unknown started a stupid new trend on facebook and myspace that swept through like an avalanche. Countless people posted the following status: "Go to urbandictionary.com, type in your first name, copy and paste this in your status and the first entry for your name under comments."
This resulted in a huge influx of traffic on UD, which bogged down the site and crashed it a few times, because everyone thought it was so cool to post a glowing definition of their first name, which was submitted by some asswipe years ago. Of course, none of these lame first name definitions should have been approved in the first place, as per the UD guidelines which so many people ignore.
And yet, the worst was not over. After this, countless people began submitting first name definitions, which fell into two categories: glowing definitions of oneself or a friend, or slanderous definitions of an enemy. It was up to the editors to ensure the future of UD....
Oh man, I remember staying up all night during the Great FB/MS Laming of UD Crisis of 2010, rejecting as many lame-ass self-serving first name definitions as I could. It seemed like they would never end. I only wish we could remove all the ones from years ago, but most have too many votes and are thus "too popular" to be nominated for removal.
Dumbass: OMG!!! This is soooo awesome! UD says I'm a wonderful, sexy, intelligent person! That's great, but I think I'll submit and even better and more specific one! And then a mean one about the girl that pushed me at recess today!
UD Editor: I'll reject them all. Please stop contributing to the Great FB/MS Laming of UD Crisis of 2010.
Dumbass: Noooo!!! I'm shallow and weak and I need this self-esteem boost!

Essentially a mid-life crisis, but scaled down in a single work day, where everything is going wrong.
Real life example (for context I work at a restaurant)
Me: "We are out of napkins, the silverware is empty, and a tiny child is running around in the buffet area with no parent to be found. I am having a mid-shift crisis right now."
A form of quarter or midlife crisis that occurs when the subject comes to the startling realization that cryptocurrency and NFTs are not the end all solution to their problems they thought they were.
“Have you heard from Andy lately?”
“Not since he started going through his crypto life crisis after NFT sales dropped 92%”
“92%? What an abysmal failure and scam.”
“Exactly.”
An energy crisis is the noticeable price increase of energy resources. It usually refers to the shortage of oil. It can also refer to a shortage of electricity or other natural resources.
Barack Obama is working with the E.E.R.E. to help soften the blow of the energy crisis.

More terrifying that terrorists: the energy crisis.
