Terms to talk about (Rizz Remix)

In the olden times of this blog, I used to go through new terms from the Internet and make fun of them.  I stopped doing it because blogs change and evolve.  However, I got bored and decided to dig this old corpse up again.  Some of the terms I looked up come from Google’s AI, while others come from the Urban Dictionary.  Just like old times.  

Doomscrolling: Doomscrolling is the act of spending too much time reading negative news or other content online that makes you feel sad, anxious, or angry. It can be harmful to your mental health.

In the past, I used to do a lot of Doomscrolling, but I don’t do it as much.  When things are too gloomy, I just go elsewhere on the Internet.  I move on.  As I have gotten older, I tend not to waste my time with harsh depressing news.  I didn’t Doomscroll the news about Trump and I simply will just move on with my life. I do more Pornscrolling…

Chillax:  "Chillax" is a slang term that means to relax or calm down. It's a combination of the words "chill" and "relax". Here are some examples of "chilax" in a sentence:

I hate this word.  I can’t stand it, but it is a proper term today.  It is a hipster term.  

Rizz:  “Rizz” is a slang term that describes someone's ability to attract people, often romantically or sexually. It can be used as a noun or a verb, for example, “to rizz up” means to attract, seduce, or chat up someone.

Rizz is the one word that perplexes me the most.  I kept hearing about it until I asked some 20-somethings.  So, it comes from the word charisma.  Are we so lazy that we can't even say the “Char” at the beginning of a word?  Is there a shortage of syllables for young people that they must chop it down to four letters?  I thought my generation was into adding “Z”s to words.  The more rizz you have the more ladies you can get.  I, for one, have NO rizz.  Never will.  

Echo Bunker: An "echo bunker" refers to an extremely isolated echo chamber, where information and viewpoints that contradict the dominant opinion within the group are completely blocked out, making it impossible for any opposing truths to penetrate or be considered, essentially creating a completely sealed off space for a single perspective.

This is what the Internet has become.  Think of Twitter where people block away one that has a different opinion than yours.  Discord is another site just like it. Discord might be worse.    

Jim Rauch has passed on.

Jim was one of those legendary TCAP predators. He worked for the University of Cincinnati. He was into music and liked to talk a lot—I mean, he loved to talk!  Jim had a lot of history and honors, but he threw it all away.  

When you watch his two-hour integration, he experiences a wide range of emotions and stories. The arrest happened in Highland Heights, Kentucky, near the Cincinnati border. Chris Hansen never interviewed him, though the cameras caught him being handcuffed. Remember that Jim rolled around Ohio and Kentucky drunk, looking for the decoy. He said and showed some nasty things to the decoy, too.  

Jim was an angry blowhard who thought he was smarter than the detectives interviewing him.  However, he dug his grave by talking to the cops without a lawyer.  The entire interview is an amusing journey through his life.  Due to most of his police footage being released, he became an Internet legend.  There are prank calls and analysts of this guy out there.  Since he was a boomer, he wasn’t aware of his Internet fame.  We know this because Jim had someone called his house and talked to him.  

He succumbed to his long-term illnesses and passed away in October. He’s brought many laughs, but time has passed, and I can’t feel bad for him.
