Asking for a friend It may be that your friend is one of those people that constantly gets banned while working up to a perma-ban because they simply can't walk away.

It has nothing to do with feelings, it is about a consistent standard. Do you really think it makes sense that someone gets banned and the reason given for the ban is something the author never said? I have asked for clarification but so far…crickets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did find it funny that several conservatives I know are simultaneously posting Christmas displays saying "Let's Go Brandon!" and saying "you know, it just doesn't feel like Christmas to me this year for some reason." Spending your Christmas vacation saying "fuck you" will do that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuletide is a time for eating, drinking and procreation; "Christmas" is just the lame attempt to insinuate the 'baby Jesus' into a perfectly good Pagan festival. To the extent the Christian Scriptures are accurate, Jesus was born in the spring anyway. Actually, Festivus has greater merit than the festival of overspending and adoration. FWIW, I think many people are breathing a sigh of relief at being spared the stress of getting together with their dysfunctional families. Bah, humbug!

Due to the fact that my wife is going to be spending all weekend working three 12 hour night shifts helping to keep vaccine refusers breathing in ICU we celebrated the "season" already. Turkey and presents were on Wednesday the 22nd. There were no manger scenes involved. We missed the Solstice, the true reason for the season by one day.
