Symptoms may include:

-Immediate boredom during films

-Feeling like all movies are "the same"

-Extreme mental restlessness or zoning out

-Strong preference for interactive or highly stimulating media (like games or animation-heavy content)

passive income

Income that requires minimal effort to maintain, allowing you to earn money while you focus on other activities, like sleeping or hanging out with friends. Often associated with investments, online content, or businesses that generate revenue without constant involvement.
My Youtube upload for the MP3-CD titled 'I Was Too Young To Watch Threadpool' hit 433 views within its first 18 hours? It feels like "passive income", where the number of views continuously increases whilst I sleep, go to college, do college assignments, hang out with friends, travel, etc. etc

Corporate Passive Aggressive

A dialect of Corporate Jargon intended to convey rude messages in a “professional” manner.
Examples of Corporate Passive Aggressive:

As per my previous email: Did you not read what I sent you?

Walk me through your thought process on this one: What were you thinking, you fool?

I’ve received feedback from your coworkers: Nobody likes you

This was identified early on as a possible outcome: I told you so

For future reference: How do you not already know this?

I’ve CC’d in your manager: You wanna say that shit in front of Steve?

We’ve decided to separate your employment: you’re fired
