Early 2010s 

The only good part of the 2010s, where things were still somewhat decent and everything was not ruined by politics, memes, political correctness and internet obsession.
I may not like the 2010s but the early 2010s were the only fun part about the decade, right before everything got so political and overly digital. Sure there was crappy media but there was still some great shows and movies that came out during that time.

I miss the early 2010s already, life was so much better back then. The late 2010s are so boring.

Early 2020s 

The years from 2020 to 2022. This era is known for being so-bad-you-wouldn't-understand. It was full of fires, COVID-19, wars and lots of good memes

These years weren't all trash though. We had cool games like Animal Crossing, FNF, Among Us and Doom. Also Biden became the president back in 2021.

The pandemic started on 2020 and quickly became a headache to most people and we entered a quarantine. TikTok became even more popular and with that society entered in its darkest age.

In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and that was pretty bad. Rn the pandemic is probably ending... right? RIGHT!?!?
- Bro, the early 2020s sucked! Let's go back to the 2010s!

- Are you kidding? It wasn't THAT bad! We got the three spidermen together! Also I'm sure the Mid-2020s are gonna be lit!

Early 2010's 

A time period spanning from 2010-2014, and in some cases, 2015. This era felt quite different from 2016 and beyond in terms of music, movies, the internet, video games, memes, creativity, and politics. Also, the amount of bs from people being significantly less common back then. Why social media did become more popular within around 2014 and definitely 2015, it wasn't as prominent as it is now.
I miss the early 2010's so much. I just can't stand all this crappy music and idiots online right now.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
