Vanced

A 3rd party YouTube app you use to get all YouTube Premium features for free. It was discontinued officially on March 2022 for legal reasons. Launched initially as a root-based "YouTube hack" for Android devices in 2017, Vanced has seen a massive cult following over the years. Thankfully, many alternatives and replicas of Vanced now exist, the most notable and popular one being ReVanced. Fair warning though, the community surrounding ReVanced seems quite like a circlejerk and is hostile to anyone that doesn't put the project nor its devs on a pedestal.
For Android users there are many ways to get Re-Vanced, which can be a bit confusing (I certainly was). To my knowledge there are only three ways:

▸ First way is to install both ReVanced and MicroG from an apk. You will then be able to use ReVanced as a separate app.
▸ Second way is only for rooted Android devices, which is a magisk module that modifies the existing YouTube app into ReVanced (the "YouTube hack").
▸ A third way—which is what most would recommend—is ReVanced manager. It's sorta like a combination of the first two methods. Within the manager you can either choose to install ReVanced as a separate app, or modify the existing YouTube app for root-privileged users.

Tl;dr 1st is quick and dirty. 2nd is most convenient for rooted users. 3rd is official and has the best of both worlds.

First two are obtained from an unofficial website called revanced.io, the 3rd is obtained from official GitHub.

I did the 2nd way because I was rooted and didn't care for a separate YT or manager app. Don't listen to anyone who says not to try the unofficial site and its methods, they work perfectly. Enough of that "mAlwArE" fearmongering BS. And to be fair, revanced.io is probably the most 'official' unofficial site out there for ReVanced. I would be cautious of other sites though.

Sigma variant

The SARS-CoV-2 variant that comes after Omnicron.
Reporter: February 24, 2022 — experts have detected sightings of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant in the outskirts of Bangkok. They are naming it the Sigma variant because it sounds more cooler than Rho or Tau.

iPhone 12

If the iPhone 5S (2013) and the iPhone 11 (2019) had a baby, their baby would be the iPhone 12. There is nothing amazing nor abominable to say about the 12. The usual caveats are present (e.g. higher price), but the sharp and squared-off sides is quite a nice refreshing design choice in my opinion.

Oh, and this is the first iPhone to feature magsafe charging which, more importantly, means that your iPhone is magnetic and you can stick it onto any magnetic surface. Why? Because magnets, man!
Can your iPhone do this? *takes X-ray photo with the OnePlus 8 Pro*
No, but it can do this *sticks iPhone 12 onto a giant magnet*
Oh shit, that is kinda cool tbh.

CRTC

Canada's own version of a dictatorship. The CRTC dictates what every Canadian can or cannot do/watch on the internet. In recent years, I've heard they are even making efforts to filter out content that isn't "Canadian" enough. Basically, the CRTC is the oppressor and the average Canadian citizen is the oppressed.
Friend 1: Hey have you watched the newest season of Insert American TV show here?
Friend 2: No I can't because of the goddamn CRTC!
