I don't know if you knew this, but gen Z’s aren’t interested in being mainstream. They embrace diversity and desire to be different, unique, and the first to find the new trend. Being tech savvy, they are experts at using the internet as a tool to research and treasure hunt. Endless amounts of information provide endless opportunities, leading to an especially creative and entrepreneurial generation.

like who was the dipshit who decided to start this whole thing with one of the last letters in the alphabet

also generational poo poo is stupid because all it really affects are marketers who want kids to grow up to have a relationship with loving, toilet paper or something

They should have started at gen Z, then we'd have gen # for millennials and gen ? or something for gen z.

The mongooses. That's a good name for a generation.

Also, I've been teaching them for a while. It is frightening how they can't unplug from technology, even for a little while. It's amazing to see the lengths they go through to hide the fact they are on their phones.

What's up, 8th grade teachin' buddy. Provide a couple power strips and some chargers of various type (though I request they bring their own). They'll plug in and not touch their phones again for 80 minutes.

some of them. my maternal grandpa is pretty cool. he hates Ronald Reagan because Reagan fired him in the 80s since he was part of the air traffic controller strike. he once told me that I can marry whoever I want, as long as they aren't Republican.

he also collects a lot of Three Stooges merchandise and it's neat.
