  • We could avoid this entirely, but the idiot Congress LIKES it. I don't think any other country has a debt ceiling like the US. Why? Well, because when another country's government (legislature, dictator, voodoo shaman) authorizes spending on something, they also authorize paying for it.

    But in the US, Congress says (to the executive branch) you can only collect 50 bajillion in taxes, no more, no less. Also, you have to spend 55 bajillion on these programs, no more, no less. Then the president says, "uh, okay, but I'll need to borrow 5 bajillion to do that because of math." In reply, Congress stamps its collective foot like a toddler and says "NO NO NO YOU HAVE TO ASK US FIRST! Why are you drowning this poor country in debt you spendthrift!"

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
