I am choosing 8. Because it is absolutely frivolous as a super power, but Hella cool linguistically.
Alternatively, if you get a whole bunch of people to do it, you could have a Code Talkers situation.
So, maybe not frivolous.

I had Noro less then 2.5 weeks after having my appendix out. I still don't know how I didn't end up hospitalized again.

Folks, I am begging you to mask up again & wash your hands frequently because Flu A and norovirus are both REALLY bad right now. Norovirus will not be killed by hand sanitizer either, you must wash your hands with soap.

Friends, find a self care thing- a short yoga routine, doing a coloring page, screaming into a pillow, guided meditation. Whatever works. One thing. Then block some time in your day for it. Every single day for the foreseeable.
This is an ultra marathon, not a sprint.
Take care of yourselves.

A lot of people act like they don't know undocumented immigrants because they're ashamed to be associated with them, so saying they don't know any when questioned by ICE shouldn't be an issue.

President Biden said the pardons are not an "acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing" but rather protect individuals from "unjustified and politically motivated prosectutions."
