  • Xmas was commandeered by christians but we have been celebrating Winter solstice for a lot longer than there has been christians on this planet. (same goes for most other ‘christian’ holidays)

    I don’t celebrate the birth of any fictional character, but I still celebrate the holidays in general, they mean different things to different people and there’s nothing wrong with that. It should be about spending time with your loved ones and showing your appreciation. It should be to find a little bit of peace and relaxation this world with those you love, and taking a break before starting out on a new year with new problems and challenges.












  • For most people I’ve talked to it’s usually the “It’s the only way to keep up with (friends family etc)” excuse.

    Facebook absolutely sucks. I deleted my account in 2019 but I do understand where people are coming from… It was once a decent(ish) place when I joined around 2007/8, but it’s just not worth the bullshit anymore.

    Would be nice if there is ever an alternative to come along (pref open source) that everyone can agree on that isn’t so shitty, but I doubt that’ll happen unless fb burns to the ground first.

    I feel this. All my cats love attention but I recently dragged home 5 stray kittens… they’re a bit shy and will come up for treats and cheese, but are not terribly impressed with the petting yet.

    I’m sure before long they’ll be spoiled little dorks like the rest of them and love their scritches.
