I've found that as an Older Millennial, I actually relate to Gen Z quite a bit and get along with them well. It's Gen Alpha that I never have any idea what the hell they're talking about.

L8er sk8ers!

I don't think this is the original album cover. I remember that Weird Al was on the CD I had.

My 18-year-old has a couple of health issues, and I'm just dreading the day it starts to get worse. Sending love for you and Bear!

The song that the sailors sang in the original B&W is stuck in my head to this day. "Ohhhh, we've got this notion that we'd quite like to sail the ocean..."

When I'm feeling too happy, I wonder how long it would be before someone found me dead. I live alone and work remotely, so my boss and coworkers might be confused or annoyed if I didn't login to work for days, but probably wouldn't call the police or anyone for a while. I have group chats with friends and call family, but not really on a regular schedule, so not responding for 3-4 days wouldn't be weird. I just hope my cat would find food or eat my corpse to survive.

They do have courses, but there's also a lot of good quizzes to evaluate your critical thinking skills at ClearerThinking.org

Did they? This was probably after the Tobias almost kills himself out of depression but then accepts his hawk body arc, so I can't imagine why they thought it was okay to try and traumatize him again.

Oh yeah, it was a mix of body horror, the brutalities of war, the unconscionable weight of leadership, and happy fun time seagull antics.

The time limit was 2 hours or you got stuck. And that happened in the first book to emphasize "kids, this is real."

Oh god I think this is from the Animorphs book where they have to fight another human, not their typical alien enemies. They gave David morphing powers, but he turned/was evil, and so Rachel has to trap him as a rat and leave him out onto some abandoned island or some shit. Those books were brutal.

I don't like porn. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

No, the sign creates a drug-free zone. So if you even try to get near the school with drugs, an invisible forcefield stops you. Please ignore those teens smoking weed behind the school; they're obviously hallucinations.
