Pulling an Anthony

In the Guatemalan English-speaking community, "pulling an Anthony" means that you've just entered an ill-advised long-distance relationship with a traveller that you barely know, but that you have an extremely strong connection to, and then you make long term plans to meet each other in different countries while not really setting in stone any actual relationship goals.

The term's named after a young man who's made a habit of doing this over the past couple of years.

"Hey, Juan. What have you been up to?"
"Well, I've been pulling an Anthony..."
"Oh, dang. What's her name and when are you leaving?"

Grindset

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.”
