Martial Law

Something that will most likely never happen in the US, as it would be considered highly unconstitutional.

COVID-19 happened, and Martial Law was never declared.

The massive Floyd protests also happened and Martial Law was never (officially) declared.

Martial Law would probably only be used as a last resort, as there are many better alternatives in this day and age.
Semi-woke Individual: If Martial Law were to happen, America would be akin to North Korea, and all the working class citizens of America would have to take a stand.

Critical Race Theory

The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.

This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.

In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.

If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.

Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Critical Race Theory is a bunch of BS"
๐— ๐—ฒ: "No, it's not. Either you misunderstood the theory, or you haven't grasped the underlying philosophy behind it."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "I don't think I'd care enough to learn about it."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "If you don't wish to know more about it, that's fine, just admit you were wrong."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Okay SJW."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "Look man I'm only being pedantic. Call me a nerd, call me a know-it-all, but I ain't got nothing to do with SJWs. In fact I'll happily listen to critiques against this theory."

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!

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.

(this example is /s )

Sigma variant

The SARS-CoV-2 variant that comes after Omnicron.
Reporter: February 24, 2022 โ€” 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.
