big tech

Refers to large technology companies that have significant impact and even control over elements of our daily lives. Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft. Also Youtube(owned by Google) Netflix, Whatsapp (owned by Facebook), PayPal, Twitter, Spotify and Tencent. Big tech is watching you and selling your data to advertisers. They control what you see and hear online and can sensor anything they don't agree with. They filter search engine results to cater to their agendas and ideals. They want you sign up to their monthly subscriptions and use their payment services. They want you to have a digital ID (ID2020) so they can track your every move, medical history and social credit score (Black Mirror - Nose Dive) etc. The only way to escape big tech is to go off-grid.

Person 1: Big Tech will take over the world.
Person 2: It already has.

balearia

A condition you get when you go to the Balearic islands. It can also surface as an intense desire to go to the Balearic Islands. Symptoms include re-evaluation of ones life purpose, loss of ones identity and in some cases perceived heightened spirituality and spiritual awareness. Those diagnosed with balearia may not return from the Balearic islands until the condition is cured. Chronic balearia can last for decades, and has been known to make close friends or family to disappear from daily life without explanation.

Causes are relatively unknown, but MDMA, 127bpm and a care-free lifestyle have been suggested.

Hey bruv what happened to Harry? Haven't seen him since the lads trip we did after school.
He got balearia mate, he's still in Ibiza.

rain guilt

Some Australians are experiencing rain guilt over getting rain when other areas have not received any. They are careful not to celebrate their rain in case they make others jealous.

I need to see a psychologist as I am experiencing rain guilt. It has really added to my stress over the drought.
