screen time fallacy

The misconception that a robot or AI's behavior can be attributed to excessive "screen time", similar to how it affects human children, ignoring the fundamental differences in programming, autonomy, and design between machines and humans. It's just a matter of coincidence that such humanoid robot was conceived and "born" at a lab with as many screens as a sci-fi spaceship.
Blaming the humanoid robot's inappropriate actions on a 'screen time fallacy' is just ridiculous; it’s not like it was sitting in front of an iPad binging brainrot contents!

Ramadan

Also known as "fasting month", this 9th month of Islamic calendar is when eligible Moslems are obliged to fast from dawn to sunset for 30 days straight. The name Ramadan comes from the Javanese phrase "ra madhang", which means "not eating".
During Ramadan, I always feel a sense of community as everyone comes together to break their fast at sunset.

2010s

The last decade when children frequently played outside, engaging in outdoor activities and social interactions. The onset of COVID-19 in 2020 significantly shifted this dynamic, leading to a generation of children who became accustomed to normalizing excessive time watching YouTube, making childhood no longer look the same anymore.
The 2010s were the last golden years of outdoor play; now, with the pandemic's impact, childhood is no longer the same.

Amish

Named after the Amish tribe, "Amish" is the title of a reality show where participants have to stay away from modern tech (iPads, smartphones, computers, gaming consoles, satellite TV) for as long as possible in order to be able to start their days with delicious Amish Breakfast Casserole.
signed up for 'Amish' thinking it would be a fun challenge, but I quickly realized how hard it is to live without my phone—especially when all I get in return is a slice of that delicious Amish Breakfast Casserole!

cutscene

A pejorative slang term for "movies" used by gamers or fans of interactive media, who consider watching a 2-hour film at cinemas to be a waste of time, as they feel they can only experience "cutscenes" and nothing else.
I wanted to see the new superhero film, but my friend just called it a 'cutscene' and said he'd rather binge a game instead.
