schadenfridge 

the pleasure derived from the unfortunate contents of another's refrigerator.
Jim's refrigerator contained nothing but fat free ranch dressing and expired milk. His dinner guests had a brief sense of schadenfridge at the expense of their otherwise well-prepared friend.

Schadenfriending 

Adding someone to your social media network just so you can enjoy the bad things that have happened or are happening to him or her.
"Do you remember the snotty girl who used to make fun of you? I heard through the grapevine that she had three kids by different guys and is currently dating another loser. I'm schadenfriending her today on Facebook so I can see her karmic smackdown."

schadenfriend

A friend who is obviously inferior to you in every way and you keep to lift your self esteem. Portmanteau of schadenfruede and friend.
I only hang out with him so I can feel better about myself. He is my schadenfriend.

Schadenfriday 

The day where you can finally laugh at another's misfortune and not be taken as a heartless bastard.

Han couldn't suppress his schadendroide as he saw Chewie carrying a basket full of C3P0 parts.

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.”
