When someone sends a picture that is vague enough that is only a spoiler if someone calls it one
“Hey delete that photo! It’s a spoiler!”
“Wait it is? I could have sworn we’ve this before”
“No it’s a spoiler for something later, trust me man this is the Spoiler paradox”

The Roman Mars Paradox is a thought experiment that illustrates an apparent paradox of experiencing Roman Mars in different forms of media. In the thought experiment, Roman Mars may be considered simultaneously both attractive and unattractive as a result of being linked to the event of viewing Roman Mars.
The Roman Mars Paradox can include both of these statements.
Roman Mars is so attractive, he makes my pussy wet!
I saw Roman Mars and it made my pussy dry-up like a saltine cracker.
A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.
A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?
B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.
A: wa?
B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.
A: losses?
B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.
A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.
B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.
When someone is both stupid and malicious and you can't tell which is the dominant factor driving a behavior.
The boss just assigned Dickhead McGee to my team and I can't decide if he did it because he doesn't know that it's a terrible idea, or he just hates me and wants to see me suffer. It's a real Hanlon's Paradox.
The Tillich-Walker paradox is a paradox that occurs when an individual has sufficient statistical knowledge to know the power necessary, or the requisite n sample size to draw meaningful conclusions about a sample pool of sexual partners, yet due precisely to this eggheaded knowledge they are unlikely to attract a sufficient number of mates to ever attain statistical significance in their own sample of sexual partners.
Oh man, Christian Tillich-Walker knows how many partners he needs, but he'll never be able to reach that number, I guess that's why they call it the Tillich-Walker paradox!
