Anti-maskers are the new anti-vaxxers. They are a new, more resilient breed of stupid that comes in swarms.
Anti-maskers are atypical in that they hold the deluded belief that wearing masks during a global pandemic are somehow an infringement on their "individual freedoms".
This is like saying there is a school shooter on the loose, and everybody in the school is forced to remain silent and hidden, but one student does not remain silent for the sole reason that it is infringing on their freedom of speech. It doesn't take a wise guy to see the ridiculousness in this way of thinking.
As with anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, scientologists, climate change naysayers, etc etc, anti-maskers often resort to twisted logic, cherry picking, confirmation bias, belief perseverance, egocentric bias, and any other bias/fallacy to curb their cognitive dissonance and defend their faulty reasoning.
They do not get that mask wearing isn't just about protecting oneself, but about protecting others. Therefore in order to flatten the curve, everybody must cooperate.
Hopefully natural selection will get the best of them.

News on City TV: Hundreds of protesters gathered downtown for most of the afternoon on Saturday, calling for an end to the COVID-19 lockdown measures. The group of anti-maskers were carrying signs and shouting slogans, and caused traffic slow downs. Calling themselves ‘freedom fighters’, they say they are defending their constitutional rights and freedoms.

While the rationale behind manspreading is perfectly valid, to single this problem onto men is just plain ridiculous. This has nothing to do with gender, it's simply a matter of public etiquette. If a girl spreads her legs out while the bus is jam packed with people, people would be pretty pissed too.
Do not listen to any feminist suggestions. Instead, every man and human should simply stick to this guide:
1) When the bus/metro capacity is under 25%, spread your legs as you so desire
2) When the bus/metro capacity is 25-75%, generally spreading is fine as people have other seats to choose from
3) When the bus/metro capacity is over 75%, it's best to play it safe and tuck your legs because people will likely want to sit in the adjacent seat

Me: You know what misses me off so much? When people leg spread on the bus. There was this guy who freakin' blocked two seats with his legs on the bus. Like, I ain't gonna complain about that if the bus was half empty, but the bus was full and there was an old lady who wanted to sit down but the guy was too busy on his phone to notice her.
Her: Don't you mean manspreading?
Me: No, I mean leg spreading.

In layman's terms, self-actualization is when you have reaped the maximum potential out of your personal talents, abilities, creativities and ambitions. Self-actualization only happens when all your lower primal needs have been met (e.g. physiological needs, emotional needs).
While self-actualization initially paints a pretty picture inside your head, do not be fooled as the journey is actually quite excruciating. In order to become fully self-actualized you'd have to push yourself to the limits. You'd have to devote yourself solely towards your ambitions and talents, no slacking or fun and games. The world's biggest entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs were 100% self-actualized, but boy they were under a lot of stress and often overworked to the core.
In summary, self-actualization is a very good thing, but it's not for the weak-minded.

Me in first year psych: *after learning about the concept* Wow I want to achieve self-actualization!!!
Me in my fourth year: *suddenly realizes that self-actualization takes hard work and pure dedication* Ehh I think I'll just live a chill life

Wam could mean anything, but the definition I was looking for is the abbreviation for the sexual kink known as "Wet And Messy". Apparently it's been around for quite a while (a while in my POV is two decades).
Basically the premise is that some people (me) find it erotic when girls cover themselves or play with certain substances that have satisfying tactile properties. For me, it's anything with a thick, viscous and slimy consistency, such as honey, simulated mucus, nuru gel, or slime itself. This kink is most (in)famous for using food substances, but this is entirely optional (I prefer non-food substances, with the exception being confectionary stuff like syrup or whipped cream).
This kink can be depicted with or without any additional sexual acts being performed. I personally find it really erotic when the performer wallows and slides around in the substance on a flat surface.

My journey with WAM began as a pre-teen when I realized that watching girls sliding around in fucktons of shampoo or laundry detergent was a massive turn on

A large tablet that wants to become a laptop but fails to do so. iPad Pros are mainly targeted towards the creative folks that like to draw. It's great for creativity and entertainment purposes, and while it's not a bad device to do work on, it still cannot rival laptops for sheer productivity (even in 2021). You might as well just get a Microsoft Surface or any 2-in-1 windows laptop instead.
John made the right choice and went for the Microsoft Surface Pro instead of an iPad Pro for his productivity needs.
