The art of "pulling a jeremy" is when party a does not want to participate in any previously planned activities but instead of relaying the message of cancellation party a (the canceler) gives party b (the cancelee) a maybe, causing excruciating pain to party b and immobilizing them indefinitely.

Friend 2: ehh idk bro, maybe i can go but i just stepped on glass earlier and my mom just got home, but ill let you know..
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.”
