sponsored content

Ads that have adapted to adblockers, and became "real" stories about saving 15 percent or more on car insurance. Also the 265th episode of South Park.

I just want to watch the news, but then I'm looking at an ad. I try to click the x, but it turns out its a link for the top ten worst celebrity plastic surgeries ever. So as I'm looking through it I get another ad leading to a slideshow on money making hacks even though it isn't even a hack, leading me to another ad, but I just want to know about the presidential campaign, but when I try to go back it turns out its a link to some sponsored content about Geico. And then the cycle repeats.

sponsored content

Snonym for advertisement or click-bait. Also called "promoted content", to trick the people who *finally* figured out sponsored content also means "bullshit follows".

It's usually some picture completely out of context for the advert, just there to draw your attention to the fraudlent, errr, sponsored content. These spurious pictures used to bounce around in their frames, before the Geneva Convention outlawed those mechanisms (and HTML flash tags) as crimes against humanity.

Underneath each spurious photo will be a partial headline designed to create a curiosity or "intellectual" itch that needs to scratched. For instance, "Doctors recommend that all parents of three headed babies do this..". Sometimes these lies, err, partial headlines are keyed to you location, in order to astonish you that something "important" is happening nearby. For instance "If you live near Ulan Bator, your mortgage could be paid...". Sponsored content usually appears in groups of four to six turds, or frames, at the end of an article. Nowadays, a real story may lurk in the fecal matter, to try to fool you into clicking on one of the nearby stools.

1) Never click on sponsored content; it can summon the devil, or something even more evil from Taboola!

2) "Sponsored content" is related to "useful" as "Jussie Smollett" is to "truthful".

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

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?"

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.”
