The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

I Can’t Help Myself -- EBM
I just can’t help but like the Earth-Bound Misfit and the things she says.
Avatars
”The officers and directors of the corporation do the time. It won't matter if they knew anything about it or not. They don't get a criminal record out of it, nothing has to be proven against them, as individuals. They are the stand-ins for the corporation, the avatars, and if the corporation does the crime, the avatars will do the time. “
Don’t forget, she’s a lawyer. I’m not. But I can’t help but believe that corporate power just increased greatly with the decision rendered in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. And I thought that corporations already had too much power.
