Lent

Might have to give up Sherdog for the month...

<{ohyeah}>

Never know what these leftist fuckin mods are gonna do.

Steady on, old chap! No need to take things to extremes - can't you just spend some time nailed to a cross with a crown of thorns on your head* and call it even?


*Or, "a Tuesday" as Mel Gibson calls it. ;)
 
Nope. My mom’s side of the family is Catholic, but my dad’s side isn’t so we weren’t raised Catholic. If I decide to give up things for discipline reasons or whatever, I do it for that reason or some kind of betterment, not a religious ritual.

Uhhh the point of it IS self-discipline/betterment lmao

Yes, obviously. I meant I do it solely of my own volition and choosing, rather than “oh it’s March again, time for Lent, what am I gonna give up this time” sort of thing where it’s a ritualistic obligation that’s put on me.
And Lent obviously has a religious aspect as well, which my choosing to give something up or change something would not necessarily have.
 
I married into a gaggle of Filipinos and eat non-meat stuffs with them on Fridays during Lent just to maintain my standing in the tribe.

You must deal with them cooking a lot of smelly fish. Do they hit you up for money?
 
The good old days of no meat Friday and giving things up.

In hindsight growing up Catholic did help with some self discipline things when I was a little shit.
 
Whiskey and pork. Maybe nicotine too but I have some stressful days coming in the next few weeks so not entirely sure. I’ll see in the morning
 
Not religious but I gave up drinking a few months ago, just too old to be an alcoholic. Got to work on my diet next.
 
I’m not sure what to give up. My kids go to catholic school so if they come home from school tomorrow and declare they’re giving anything up then I’ll maybe do it with them.
 
I'm pretty anti-catholic so there's a good chance I'd add a vice for the next month just out of spite.
 
Fap, baked goods, and/or caffeine.

We'll see how tomorrow goes.
