I'm Angry. I can no longer go to one of my pinterest boards and see recommendations for said board and add them super easily by clicking a plus button. In one step. NO. I have to pin it the same way I would on my home page, plus it does this weird refresh thing where it sends me to the same spot near the top every time I pin something, and most of the time it won't even recommend the board in question when I try to pin something. Then what's the fucking point?? I could just scroll on my home page with much less of a hassle. Is this incredibly petty and unhealthy to be this upset about? Yes but I'm emotionally dead and need to feel something and I only knew about this for like three days and then they took it away

i want to learn but i also refuse to watch seinfeld

The barebones of it is that, in the context of the show, it's like an anti-consumerism Christmas that takes place on the 23rd. There's no gifts and there's no tree, just an aluminium pole, and also the Feats of Strength and the Airing of Grievances.
The context in the show is that Frank Constanza got so fed up with the commercialization of Christmas after being knocked to the ground while fighting someone over the last doll when George was a kid, but in real life it was a holiday celebrated by the writer's family.
We don't really do it seriously, but my mom and I always watch The Strike and eat some bagels and use the time to wrap stocking stuffers and gifts for my dad.

It doesn't feel like Christmas to me either, but that might be because of those two points plus it's warm outside. Not summer hot, but not exactly cold. There's no snow. That's not normal for my area.

We have a bit of snow (for the first time in years) but most of it's old by now.

@croccin-champagne

reasons why christmas doesn't feel right

~depression

~capitalism is at an all time high

~we're practically living in a dystopian world

~haven't gone to fun christmas parties

@evastardust groupRRAAAARRL

~Christmas break just feels like round 2 or 3 of quarantine

Exactly, yeah. There's not the Christmas-y stuff we'd usually do and so it just feels like a week of nothing, especially since I have a huge piece of homework for AP Lang

@evastardust groupRRAAAARRL

Apparently tonight will be the coldest night of the year, I'm inside with all of the windows closed and can still hear the wind, and tomorrow's high is 13. Merry fucking Christmas.

@Mojack group

I’m a little more in the mood now that I’ve decorated our tree
But I can’t help but feel sad that we’re not having the big family gathering we usually do
I know why my family gathering is small this year, I just feel sad

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

this year’s Christmas feels a little better than last years, mostly cause last year was still practically summer lol
but it’s still not gonna be the same, especially now that so many family members have moved all over the place

People who keep going out without masks need to stop acting like it's everyone else's fault and some big tragedy for them that we're still in a pandemic because the next bitch without a mask that says "it's so sad that we were robbed of 2020 :((" is getting stabbed with her own pink stiletto heel and turned into a christmas ornament.

I saw an article a while ago and I started thinking about it again randomly, so. If you don't care if your barber is a trump supporter, whatever, but don't compare that to people not wanting to eat at chick fil a because they're homophobic. Your barber probably isn't directly funneling loads of money from his business into "the trump fund of traumatizing people into being a trump supporter" and if he would give money to trump, it would be his own money and not from the business's profits, and in all likelihood, your barber changes every time you go because several people work there and most of the time the owner isn't cutting your hair if they even ever have. Which was not the case with chick fil a. And no one is saying "you can't eat at chick fil a" or "if you eat at chick fil a you're a terrible person", and we all know that not eating somewhere isnt going to damage their business, so there's no reason to write an article called "in defense of eating at chick fil a" and every point you made was irrelevant and self righteous
