Imagine making a big fuss about a pair of pronouns. It's a gender-neutral reference to the third-person singular, and that's all there is to it. Some people may say "his/her" instead of "their" as that's what they're used to, just like how some people may choose to say "buy" instead of "purchase". And that's A-okay.
And to be fair, this is mostly used in more formal speech or text, such as an essay or a legislative document. Obviously you're not gonna say this in casual dialogue (again, no problems if you choose to do so).
Me: ChatGPT, can you help me make an example of "his/her" used in a sentence?
ChatGPT: Certainly! Here's an example of "his/her" used in a sentence:
"In the course syllabus, it says that each student should bring his/her own textbook to the class."
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.

When you drop an objectâoften something smallâon the floor and you try to pick it up using sound cues, but it happens to be in the opposite location of what you've initially predicted.
Jim was busy writing his essay until he accidentally dropped his pencil on the floor. Without looking directly, he bent down towards his 5 o'clock because that's where he thought he had heard the pencil drop, but turns out that the pencil fell to his 12 o'clock. Jim just had a echomislocation.

Something that was once heavily talked (and criticized) about around 2013-2015 but quickly dwindled from the public's eye after that.
Almost nobody remembers Google Glass anymore, that is unless you randomly happen to stumble upon it by chance and all the memories start flushing back. And if you do remember, Google Glass was honestly quite ahead of its time. It really feels more like a futuristic tech you'd expect to see today than back in 2013.
Hell, now that I think about it, Google Glass is a MUCH more better and useful concept than Zuckerberg's lousy Metaverse.
I read some of the definitions of 'glasshole'; yes, privacy would be a central problem to the Glass, however to be quite frank, to think you can identify some random girl and instantly pull up their FB is pure science-fiction. Perhaps a bit more feasible now, but def not possible back in 2013. Today, the concern is still privacy, but it's on the other end of the horseshoe; not for the privacy of others but of yourself. Zuckerberg's Metaverse (and the entirety of Facebook) is a FAR more heinous offense to privacy than Google Glass.
But overall, the pros of the Google Glass heavily overshadows the con(cern)s. I would LOVE to have an HUD with me at all times, where I can see the time and weather. I honestly hope Google Glass can make a comeback in the 2020s. Just note that if Google made a new one, it would prove far more capable of these privacy-breaking features as todays silicon chips are over 500% faster.
Kevin: Hey remember back when Google had that cool futuristic glasses, forgot what it's called
Eric: The Google Glass??
Kevin: Yeeee
Eric: Holy shit that was such a long time ago, I literally forgot about its existence until now.

Millennial: Hey remember Google Glass?
Zoomer: Google what?
Millennial: Never mind, you're too young to remember...
Throwing a massive tantrum to the point of both physical and mental exhaustion of the tantrum-er.
Most commonly seen in kids under the age of 9. Can also happen to adults who have anger issues (which could be quite devastating).
When little Johnny came out of his room to find his parents gone, he started to weep and cry. When their parents shortly came back, little Johnny was furious in tears and started screaming and wailing at them with all his might. Soon after 10 minutes he was so tired from all the screaming that he felt dizzy and collapsed onto the floor. Little Johnny just had an outrage fatigue.

A thought-terminating cliché used to quell any critical thinking that may be used to expose someone's immoral/irresponsible/sordid actions and behaviours.
While there are occasions where this phrase is justified, most often than not it's used unjustifiably.
JUSTIFIED USE:
"So are you two sleeping together??"
"I'm sorry but that's none of your business"
UNJUSTIFIED USE:
*father verbally abuses their children on the bus*
Bystander: Excuse me but you should really treat your kids better
Father: Mate that's none of your business! Piss off!
UNJUSTIFIED USE:
Person 1: You shouldn't be smoking here, it's a smoke-free zone
Person 2: None of your business man

An act that gives you power over your life. It should be permitted at all costs.
Me: I wanna be like the other kids
Her: Being yourself is the best you can be
