Corporatized 

A state of being absorbed into a structured, profit-driven system of daily routines and responsibilities — such as the 9-to-5 job, scheduled gym visits, bill payments, and consumer habits — under the guise of a “normal” life. It reflects a lifestyle shaped and sustained by corporate and economic systems that prioritize productivity and control over individual purpose or freedom. To be corporatized is to unconsciously participate in a cycle that enriches those at the top, while fear of instability or failure discourages deviation from the system.
“The corporatized structure of modern society discourages risk-taking and self-exploration, conditioning individuals to equate stability with routine compliance rather than personal fulfillment.”

“He didn’t realize how corporatized his life had become until he took a week off — no alarms, no meetings, no rush hour — and felt, for the first time in years, actually human.”

cor-po-ra-tize -
kawr-per-uh-tahyz, -pruh-tahyz–verb (used with object), -tized, -tiz-ing.

1. To aid or enable or encourage the dying of the light.

2. The buying and or acquiring of a wonderful, naturally occurring idea, event, or concept (hangout, rock band local bar & grill) that appeals to a certain group of people, and most likely has acquired some notoriety; then sterilizing the life and soul out of said idea until it can be digested by the masses. Thus aiding in both programming and maintaining the illusion of freedom enjoyed by the clones and worker bee’s we’ve all become.
"Why can't I have my burger cooked medium?" said the confused clone, "well sir we can corporatize that burger for you, for your own safety and because the lawyers told us we had to, either way sir your getting it well done" the server explains while trying to smile like the lady at the DMV did.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
