It's difficult to guess what you're trying to convey here. Are you saying that you don't care if you represent yourself in a way that makes people around you assume the worst? Or you are racist/sexist and proud of it?

I didn't say I don't know what it means. I asked YOU what it means to YOU. The way I use it, it means "alert to injustice in society, especially racism". But I suspect a lot of people on a certain political team use it

If the judge believes you: "Okay! Sucks for the cops." If the judge does not believe you: "That's contempt. You can sit in jail until you decide to remember." A better two words would be "hidden volume".

Okay, but what if a person sincerely does not want to participate in a medical trial? But then when he sees the dollar figure, he thinks "well, shit, I hate doing this, but I can't afford to turn that much money down." Same

Small world. I did this on behalf of BlirpIt for UVM back in 2009 or so. We had trackers on each bus, and they would report location on a certain interval, or whenever the speed changed by a certain threshold from the speed at last report
