What "Minecraft: Bedrock Edition" used to be called for mobile devices. The PE stands for Pocket Edition, which honestly sounds like a much more applicable name than Bedrock. Thus, I will keep referring it to Pocket Edition.
Back then, Pocket Edition was basically a Lite version of Minecraft meant for on-the-go experiences. It was more for killing time (e.g. waiting for bus) than for actually getting invested in the game. Today however, the transition from PE to Bedrock Edition has basically turned the mobile game into full-fledged Minecraft (with some limitations of course).

Contrary to popular belief, the Unabomber was more of a domestic terrorist rather than a psychopath. As with all terrorists, his motive to kill was purely ideological. He was severely critical towards technological advancement and how—in a way—technology would corrupt society. It might've seemed like an absurd and irrational critique 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, but now in 2021 where nomophobia is a real thing, the Unabomber's critique isn't that far off (just minus the terrorizing part).
If the Unabomber didn't choose the unnecessarily violent path, he would've made a great point. Many theorists have talked about the paradox of technology, where technology has freed us, but yet at the same time has enslaved us.
It is recommended to read Neil Postman's "Technopoly: the surrender of culture to technology" to understand more about this paradox.

When somebody on the internet writes in a langauge (mainly non-Latin) that they absolutely know nothing about. It is either garbled nonsense or something understandable translated via Google translate, but mostly the former.

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.

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.

Me: Nah, that's stupid. I just thought it would be nice to try it out.
Emily: Suuuuure
Me: Like, I'm not even joking. I even bought a gel top coat and a nail buffer! Honestly, chipped nails are so overrated. I want some of that professional salon-quality nails, you know what I'm sayin'?
Emily: Ooooo, well send me send some pics when you have them done!

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.
