Do you know why news articles keep saying "𝙓, 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙏𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧" instead of just X, even though everybody already knows its name change by now? I'll tell you why, because it's just one damn letter! Semantically, X could be anything given this is literally its meaning in both math and linguistics. It's so utterly vague that journalists have to mention twitter just in case any lesser-informed individuals get confused. What was the elongated muskrat even thinking?
Also, whoever is botting tens of thousands of dislikes to the newest "X" definitions needs to get a life lmao.

BBC news: in a statement posted to X formerly Twitter, it said the protest was part of efforts to integrate food into the general social security system.

Money that the (US) government hands out to its citizens during desperate times, not because they care about you, but because they're afraid you won't be spending enough money to boost the economy during this period.
Interesting fact: the "stimulus" in stimulus check isn't used in the psychological or physiological sense. Rather, it is referring to the economics concept of stimulating the economy (i.e. encouraging the transaction of commodities).
The fact that the name itself is in reference to the economy rather than you, the citizen, shows the shallowness behind it all.

Stimulus checks are a way of saying that the government cares, but not in the way that you'd imagine it.
The Canadian equivalent of a stimulus check is called CERB/CRB, which stands for 'Canada Emergency Response Benefit' and 'Canada Recovery Benefit', respectively. It has—from the very start—been giving out $2000 checks every month per individual. At least the Canadian name has a better ring to it.

Black is the only nail polish color that both genders like to wear.
Girls wear black nail polish because it's such a bold and incredibly sexy color. Guys (cis) wear it mostly as a fashion trend statement (e.g. social media fad) or to symbolize that they are affiliated with a certain cultural movement (e.g. goth, emo). Only some guys wear it without any externally-motivated reasons.
There is also a noticeable difference in HOW each gender wears it. Guys (cis) often do it hastily. They have no intention to fill the polish in completely, and prefer it chipped. Most would opt for matte black. This is likely to distance themselves from actually partaking in a feminine hobby, or to follow the trend. Thus for guys, it is only a means to an end. When girls wear it though, it will look unironically gorgeous and catches people's eyes. Most will get it done professionally, or do it themselves with unprecedented perfection. Girls will take the extra mile to use a base coat, and put a top coat over the black polish to make it nice and glossy. Girls also like their nails long and shaped. They'd look—as you'd expect—feminine.
Guys rocking black nails isn't anything new or remarkable, but it would take some real balls (i.e. devotion) to paint them in a sincere impeccable fashion as a girl would.

The little orange traffic cone that could.
Created in 2001 by VideoLAN, a non-profit organization, VLC is probably one of the best programs to ever exist and never fails to deliver. Because of its wide support for all types of media files and codecs, it is always reliable no matter what you throw at it. It offers much snappier performance than the default video player on Windows, especially for high-bitrate files. And the best part is that it's free and open-source.
VLC is like a long-time friend that you can always trust and depend on. Long live VLC.

VLC media player is the most wholesome software ever. Every time I see that orange traffic cone pop up after the video ends, I feel right at home.
