"Somedays I just like being alive. I don't want to dwell on the future or take comfort in past memories."
"Yeah. Just being alive is sweet. Helps clear the mind."

1) A general term for audio gear from Chinese brands. Nowadays it mainly refers to in-ear monitors (IEMs, earphones) made by Chinese brands. They range from being very cost-effective to being very upmarket.
2) An addictive potent drug that starts out cheap but gets ridiculously expensive to achieve that same 'high' again.

These definitions are so bipolar. It's not either/or.
No, the israeli army isn't a terrorist like al Qaeda, but it had a controversial track record. One of their most heinous involvements was with the 1982 Lebanese Civil War, which sided with the Lebanese Front, aka the scums who did the Sabra and Shatila Massacre. However, this stuff is from more than 20 years ago and does not apply today.

What people in 2021 have chosen to say instead of the term "lover".
For example, if you're a hip-hop lover, you now say you're a "hip-hop enjoyer". Both choices of words mean the exact same thing, but in the end, lover is the more fitting choice in casual talk. Enjoyer sounds a bit too fetish-like.
The term enjoyer may come from the business sense in which consumers of products/services are known as "enjoyers" who "enjoy" their products/services. This also explains why some thrift shops choose to call used items as "previously enjoyed". Weird choice for a word that often conjures up sexual connotations... but hey, who am I to argue with the English lexicon.

Greg: I'm a cat enjoyer
Daphne: Wtf??
Greg: What? I love cats, they're cute adorable creatures.
Daphne: Oh ok, I thought you meant something else.
Greg: Er, no?
Daphne: Why not just say cat lover then. I would've understood you if you had led with that.

A very good Russian torrenting site for software and games. It is way better than TPB and most other popular english torrenting sites. Not many people from outside Russia will know about rutracker, but the ones who do (and now) know are in for a gem.
It has an extensive catalogue of quality torrents (more than TPB), reliable 24/7 seeders, a large user-backed contributor base, and is always up-to-date with the latest software/games. The torrenting site is also very long-running too, dating back to the early-2000s. I gotta hand it to the Russians, they really do provide the good stuff.

Lyon: Hey dude where can I find "XYZ" software for free?
Tony: Have you tried looking at torrents?
Lyon: Yeah I tried searching on TPB and found nothing but scam torrents. I tried other torrenting sites and also nothing.
Tony: Oh you're looking in the wrong places, you won't find much on TPB, especially new stuff.
Lyon: Then where?
Tony: Try rutracker.org, you'll have to translate it though
Lyon: WTF, this site has literally everything! How did I not discover this earlier....
Tony: You're welcome 😉

A meme-y phrase that was extremely popular back around 2012 due to its versatility. Modern usage is more or less the same, but it is now commonly replaced with the newer phrase "that feeling when".
