Agreed, lifting your pen for every letter is a faster, more efficient way to write

lol as if someone is lifting the pen above the paper like at the end of a signature for each letter, which is what your phrasing evokes. It's not like moving a hand from the keyboard to the mouse.

I forgot cursive since being forced to learn it in 3rd or 4th grade "because you'll need it for later grade levels," and I've never had trouble taking notes in high school nor college.

You don't even need it for the "do not print" part of the SAT, they just want you to write fast and connect some letters to show your "natural" handwriting, so really if you don't normally write in cursive but did for that SAT statement then you were technically misrepresenting yourself. But obviously they don't tell you what it's for and implicitly encourage most students to lie about their handwriting because the College Board is replete with money-grubbing jackasses.

Tattooing and piercing has been done for centuries.

The term "body modification" has been around since at least 1996, coined by a man born in 1941. It was the subtitle of the second edition of his 1987 book.

They may look like assholes, but you're blaming the wrong generation.

Whoever came up with it is a colossal retard rear end in a top hat anyway.

You aren't connecting with ancient cultures or whatever by scribbling garbage on your skin or putting stupid loving holes in yourself. They looked like poo poo and you look like poo poo.

There is a certain class of person who insist on being super edgy and unique during their peak youth from 17-23, usually by all doing exactly the same thing.

"The thing" changes every 5-7 years, with last seasons "thing" mocked mercilessly, and 2-3 season's ago's thingses become "retro" which means current young people start dressing that way/ listening to that music/getting that tattoo etc again only they do it all wrong

NOBODY grows up anymore though so you have 45 year olds and 25 year olds and high school students all trying to outdo each other and it all feeds on itself

Education costs would be a lot lower if the government didn't back the loans. People could actually go to college for the sake of learning and not be buried in huge amounts of debt.

Wut? It was the millenials that begged to get Big Bank out of student loans and we complied by making direct loans. Make up your minds.
