VLC Media Player
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.

Refutation of the Idealized
Basically any concrete aspect of reality which shatters the personal idealized image of a future scenario or occurrence, often one that is highly meaningful to the individual.
You see... while our minds often think in abstract simplistic ways, reality is often chaotic, abrupt, arbitrary, and outright disagrees with our ideals, thereby 'refuting' the idealized. Other times, reality can make your ideals seem hypocritical. It can be quite a sad and disappointing realization. It sometimes makes you want to lock yourself inside your own world even more, only to subject yourself to reality when needed or when you feel competent or wise enough.

An example of a 'refutation of the idealized' would be the idealized picture of a romantic relationship you've always dreamed about in your mind ever since you were a kid. This picture is then refuted later in your adult life when relationships gradually (or abruptly) show itself in a manner so complex and chaotic that your visionary mind simply cannot handle. This might make you want to give up relationships altogether. (remember this is just one example)
Of course, the solution is to gain wisdom and rewire our minds towards the principles of realism and cognitive-behavioral approaches, but we may not always be ready for this yet. We may never feel like we are. This self change will eventually come naturally; it should never come abruptly, as you might risk becoming a cynic and/or grow a machiavellian complex.
A reasonable dose of idealized quirky thinking is always healthy. Heck, even a couple spoonfuls more is good; it is what makes you ultimately you. Let realism guide you through life, but don't let it ever rule you.

Bixby
1) An incompetent excuse for a voice assistant that doesn't stand a chance to Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri.
It is the successor to Samsung's previous voice assistant, S-voice, which was even worse.
2) An annoying kid in drama/theatre class who always volunteers to take on a leading role but absolutely sucks at it.

Bixby: I call dibs on being Juliet!
Webster: Hey bro maybe you should let Alexa have this one, she seems more fitting for it. Maybe you can do one of the minor roles?

Cellulite
Ok I know cellulite is a natural thing that occurs in all women even the thin ones, but man tbh it's a bit off-putting. I don't wanna body shame, but if I had a say, I personally would prefer a girl to cover that using a cream or concealer or smth, anything to hide it. Of course totally up to the girl and I respect their body and wouldn't want to. Sorry.
Me: Tbh im not really into the girl you showed me. Her cellulite is a bit off-putting, no offense.
Tyler: Dude, you realize how shallow that sounds right?
Me: Yea I know, sorry. I'm not like opposed to it or anything, but if imma be 100% truthful I don't like the look of it. Of course I will respect any girl regardless and won't ever complain about it. That would be a shitty thing to do and I would never want a girl to think something is wrong with them
Tyler: Fucking simp.
