A prudent, sensible, and wise life-enabling decision to remain single, remain a first class citizen, enjoy relatively high degrees of personal freedom, prosperity, and self-determination, and avoid a very expensive, dangerous, hostile, abusive, deeply exploitive, oppressive, and life-crushing enslaving marriage and the unjustly deeply anti-male legal system in the likely, arbitrary, possibly unpredictable, and life-crippling divorce.
Bachelorism means retaining your full civil rights and first class citizenship, personal dignity and self-respect. Bachelorism means never being in fear or experiencing the actual or the constant threat of emotional and physical abuse and arbitary and unjust arrest, homelessness, imprisonment, ruin, and indentured servitude at your wife's sole discretion (regardless of your kind character or behavior) without legal protection, recourse, or respect; it also means complete self-determination, freedom to enjoy your life as you wish on your own terms, and generally greater opportunity and personal prosperity in life. Bachelorism is the clear freedom from the exploitation and sacrificing of a used, disposable man's life for the unilateral entertainment and profit an ever-expectant, hateful, greedy, self-indulgent, entitlement- and luxury-obsessed and sneeringly and derisively nonrecripricatory, ulterior, incipidly disrespecting vicious wife. To men, marrying women in the current social, cultural, and legal environment is unhealthy, oppressive, and physically, psychologically, and legally dangerous. Bachelorism is relatively freedom-ensuring, sane, safe, and financially, legally, and personally healthy. Bachelorism is to respect yourself and retain your human rights.

A usually fully functional almost-Apple Macintosh computer rebuilt from various dead-Mac pull-out and commodity PC parts to avoid Apple's high prices for similar Apple-sourced but functionally identical parts. A cousin somewhat to the Hackintosh.
Jim got a bunch of Apple and non-Apple parts from some dead Macs, PCs, and his own workbench and cobbled together a little FrankenMac. Not quite as pretty but it works fine.

A psychological state more than a geographic state of a person: a belief in a community's or culture's superiority, correctness, or specialness compared to other communities or cultures. Inspired by positive-minded well-meaning groupthink, increasing homogeniety over time, isolation-induced ignorance of other cultures or communities, fear of the unknown or being outnumbered (and a desire to compensate for their smallness amid the world), and lack of conflict with/lack of destruction by other communities (improving relative progress and social harmony and giving some creedence to their feelings of superiority).

The "Beach Ball of Death". On a modern Apple Macintosh, the spinning "beachball" graphic which replaces the mouse pointer when hovering over a window whose program has stopped responding. Somewhat analogous to the "BSOD" (Blue Screen of Death) on Windows-based computers. Usually BBOD applies when the entire Macintosh is so overburdened or one key program is so hopelessly hung up that rebooting is faster than waiting for the Mac to sort itself out.
I got the BBOD on my Mac when I had about fifty programs up and Firefox got obsessed with a seemingly bottomless web page.
