This usually refers to the process of extracting any purchased digital media content—whether it's a movie from a DVD, or your favorite album from a CD—onto your computer hard drive. While it may look like a simple task, sometimes the process can be quite complicated due to reasons such as incompatible file types and/or the media file is protected by the Digital Rights Management. The extracted digital content can then either be:
1) Used only for personal conveniences. For example, you bought a CD of your favorite album, but you also want to listen to it on your smartphone. This is totally okay.
OR
2) Shared onto the interwebz so that other people can access the content without buying it. It is usually uploaded on peer-to-peer file sharing/bittorrent tracker sites such as The Pirate Bay. This is pretty much illegal.
Ripping should not be confused with pirating, as pirating refers to downloading content that has been already ripped by someone else.

1) Damn I just bought Ed Sheeran's X album at Walmart today and I'm totally hooked!!! Later tonight I'm thinking of ripping it to my computer and then onto my phone so I can listen to it on the go.
2) Fuck that $200 eTextbook just made me broke, but at least now I can rip it and upload my copy of the textbook on TPB so that others won't have to endure my pain!

Get the Gluck gluckmug. Something that's very interesting to read about as a Wiki or Buzzfeed article, but incredibly boring to learn/study as a school course.
Ironically, Tim procrastinated for his greek history exam by reading Wiki articles on the Italian Renaissance.

Get the Type 2mug. Uwu envy is essentially the same concept as Freud's penis envy, but applied to modern society's fixation with cuteness. Individuals experiencing uwu envy may harbor a sense of inferiority, where they subconsciously (or consciously) covet others who effortlessly exude the cute and innocent aesthetic of 'uwu.' It may initially manifest as a state of being intimidated or even a feeling of resentment towards those who fit the uwu aesthetic, often due to feeling out of the loop or disconnected from popular internet culture and the trends associated with it.
Unlike penis envy though, uwu envy is very easy to overcome. Overcoming one's uwu envy may involve a strong desire to assimilate the physical attributes, mannerisms, or online presence associated with cuteness, and may drive individuals to engage in attention-seeking behavior or adopt an infantile or anime-influenced aesthetic as a means of validation. More often than not, this typically involves changing your profile pic to a cute anime girl and using cute phrases and emojis such as ':3' and 'rawr'. Those with uwu envy are indistinguishable from those who genuinely co-opt uwu culture, the only difference being that, deep down, individuals with uwu envy do it as a sort of psychological compensatory mechanism.
Uwu envy is the troubling reflection of a young generation that prioritizes surface-level appearances over genuine self-acceptance, self-expression and emotional maturity, perpetuating a shallow aesthetics-based culture.

EXAMPLE 1:
Person A: I noticed that Sarah changed her profile picture to a cute anime girl and is always using 'uwu' in her messages. It's like she's trying so hard to be cute all the time.
Person B: Yeah, she's got a serious case of uwu envy.

EXAMPLE 2: Me. I have uwu envy.

Get the Uwu envymug. Tf is with all these stupid ass definitions. Cmon y'all let's be real here, bok choy is a vegetable, a type of Chinese cabbage to be precise. When translated from Cantonese, it literally means "white vegetable".
It is not just endemic to China, but to the rest of Southeast Asia. You will find it in many Chinese dishes as well as Korean dishes. And it is in fact quite delicious (light to the palate) and far less odorous compared to ordinary cabbage, brussel sprouts, and even broccoli.
Technically the only right definition here is from IkEe, just minus the lame shit he said afterwards. And Un Jong Kim over there is just trolling real hard.

Sarah: Oh okay
Alice: So what're you having for dinner tonight?
Sarah: Just thinking about whipping up some Caesar salad with roasted brussel sprouts
Alice: Ugh I hate brussel sprouts. Do you actually enjoy eating them though, especially roasted?
Sarah: Eh it's alright
Alice: Girl what you need is bok choy. It's much less bitter-tasting than brussel sprouts and has absolutely no nasty smell to it. It's very light and crispy, perfect for a salad.
Sarah: Boy choy? Never heard of it.
Alice: ... you serious? Man I need to take you to the Chinese supermarket!
Sarah: Hahaha okay, I will definitely buy some when I'm at the supermarket tomorrow.

Get the Bok choymug. Something that I suffer with all the time every day of my life, and it friggin sucks. Basically your nose sinuses are so stuffed to the point that the snot "drips" down to your throat, and it makes you gag. Not really a big deal if it happens infrequently, but chronic post nasal drip is literally hell.
Me: Hey guys how's it g— *gags loudly on snot*
Them: Woah you okay there dude?
Me: Oh dw it's nothing, just my typical post nasal drip.
