Sure. They all stay. Very believable.
To our space alien visitors over at TikTok HQ, teenagers of the human species are active late at night, probably because it was easier for ancestors to sneak out to nookie in the bushes back when there were no streetlights and everyone worked their asses off just to find food and stay alive, so mom & dad were fast asleep.
It's hard work, writing run-on sentences.
It's how we made more humans. Or neanderthals, you natural hybrids.

Das Bild besteht aus zwei Panels. Im oberen Panel sieht man eine Steuerungseinheit mit zwei großen roten Knöpfen. Der linke Knopf ist mit der Aufschrift "gesichert Rechtsextreme von der Sitzung ausschließen" beschriftet, während der rechte Knopf "MdB Marcel Bauer (Die Linke) wegen Baskenmütze ausschließen" beschriftet ist. Eine Hand ist dabei, den rechten Knopf zu drücken. Im unteren Panel ist ein Mann mit roten Haaren und einem roten Hemd zu sehen, der sich die Stirn abwischt und erschöpft wirkt. Über ihm steht der Text "Andrea Lindholz (CSU)". Das Bild spielt auf eine politische Situation an, in der Andrea Lindholz zwischen zwei Entscheidungen steht, die sie mit großer Anspannung und Bedenken trifft.

A study just came out showing the majority of Americans can’t afford a minimal quality of life/basic cost of living.
The majority.
The richest country in the world is failing to provide for most of its citizens while the billionaires get richer.
Remember this the next time they talk about making America healthy again.
People need universal health care and basic income. Access to clean air and water. An end to food deserts and inequality.

The image depicts a person floating in space, facing away from the viewer, with Earth prominently displayed in the background. The Earth is shown in a stylized manner, with blue oceans and black landmasses, set against a starry black space. The person is wearing a red cape, white shorts, and boots, and is depicted in a dynamic pose, as if flying or gliding. A speech bubble next to the person reads "I LOVE YOU." The overall composition emphasizes the vastness of space and the Earth's curvature, with the person appearing small in comparison to the planet.
