Slack Separation Anxiety

The anxious feeling you get when you should be working and online but are in fact not actively working, namely that someone might be trying to reach you via Slack and you will be unable to respond to them or provide what they need in that moment. Which, of course, will immediately get you fired.

Common symptoms: Ghost phone vibration, thinking you heard a slack ping, etc

I have Slack Separation Anxiety so I don't stray too far from my laptop during the day.

Cordial separation theory

Coined by YouTuber and content creator JaySoullz this is the theory that after you stop talking to a girl or guy, whether it be due to an argument or disagreement, you don’t leave on a really bad note. U keep it cordial, don’t yell back or argue, and you can later spin the block when you’re doing even better in life and the options she had are starting to weign. She will have forgotten the feelings that made her willing to stop talking to you in the first place, and by then you will have multiple other girls to immediately take her spot if she acts up again.

“Yelling and arguing with a female completely goes against CST(cordial separation theory)”
“If you’re following CST, you know you have to keep it calm at all times”

Seven separate sections of safety

There are seven separate sections of safety:
1. Have an escape plan
2. Have equipment for every circumstance

3. Watch for people throwing things at you
4. Watch for anything that can and probably will hurt you
5. Accidents are prohibited

6. Be careful beware of safety

7. Accept that you are probably in danger at any and every given moment

Remember the seven separate sections of safety.

Separation by Rupture Fallacy

The rhetorical move of pretending that capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism are separate phenomena with no meaningful connection, despite overwhelming historical evidence that they evolved together, supported each other, and continue to intertwine. This fallacy argues that sure, colonialism was bad, but that's over now, and capitalism is a different thing, and imperialism is something other countries do. It's like separating a cake into "flour," "sugar," and "eggs" after it's been baked and insisting they were never really connected. Separation by rupture allows people to enjoy the benefits of systems built on exploitation while claiming moral distance from the exploitation itself.

Separation by Rupture Fallacy Example: "The historian explained how British colonialism enabled the Industrial Revolution through resource extraction and forced markets. The commenter responded with separation by rupture: 'Colonialism was bad, but capitalism is just free markets! They're totally different!' The historian sighed, pointed at the cotton in their shirt, the tea in their cup, and the rubber in their shoes—all products of that 'rupture'—and wondered if history class had been canceled."
