Contrary to popular belief, the Unabomber was more of a domestic terrorist rather than a psychopath. As with all terrorists, his motive to kill was purely ideological. He was severely critical towards technological advancement and how—in a way—technology would corrupt society. It might've seemed like an absurd and irrational critique 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, but now in 2021 where nomophobia is a real thing, the Unabomber's critique isn't that far off (just minus the terrorizing part).
If the Unabomber didn't choose the unnecessarily violent path, he would've made a great point. Many theorists have talked about the paradox of technology, where technology has freed us, but yet at the same time has enslaved us.
It is recommended to read Neil Postman's "Technopoly: the surrender of culture to technology" to understand more about this paradox.
The Unabomber was an unhinged thinker whose ideas were woke, but whose actions were flawed.

When you hog up all the internet bandwidth from streaming all that 4K anal porn
*webpage takes a long time to load*
Dad (yells across bedroom): Son, are you choking the bandwidth again?
Son (yells back): Uhhh no..... what makes you think that?
Dad: Oh nothin', just a hunch...
The act of taking a huge stinky shit!
Bro: Hey where you going man?
Me: I'll be right with you, I have to go cast a vote for Trump.
What people in 2021 have chosen to say instead of the term "lover".
For example, if you're a hip-hop lover, you now say you're a "hip-hop enjoyer". Both choices of words mean the exact same thing, but in the end, lover is the more fitting choice in casual talk. Enjoyer sounds a bit too fetish-like.
The term enjoyer may come from the business sense in which consumers of products/services are known as "enjoyers" who "enjoy" their products/services. This also explains why some thrift shops choose to call used items as "previously enjoyed". Weird choice for a word that often conjures up sexual connotations... but hey, who am I to argue with the English lexicon.
Greg: I'm a cat enjoyer
Daphne: Wtf??
Greg: What? I love cats, they're cute adorable creatures.
Daphne: Oh ok, I thought you meant something else.
Greg: Er, no?
Daphne: Why not just say cat lover then. I would've understood you if you had led with that.
A vague phrase that apparently has lovey-dovey connotations. Flying sparks makes for a great screensaver or background to a music video w/ lyrics, but how it's supposed to allegorize love... I do not know. Recommended to say in a uwu voice.
Someone: sparks fly!!!
Someone else: spawwks fwwy!!!
1) The most boring brand of bread ever. They are so commonplace that even dollar stores sell them.
2) Something that you fail to notice in a public setting, simply because it is too commonplace.
3) An option that is always available but you always avoid because there is always something better.
1) I always consider the store's freshly baked bread first. If there's no bakery, then I'll settle with Dempster's I guess. But I'll never in my life buy wonderbread, mostly cus I never paid attention to it in the first place.
2) The mainstream music playing from the store's speakers is like wonderbread.
3) When shopping for 2L sodas, you're always going to consider the main brands first. The other no-name brands are just wonderbreads.
