Well, my quasi-random thoughts for the weekend, holidays edition.
1) Secret Santa - I always get some fucking stupid useless gift. I wish people wouldn't have such shitty cost limits to things so that people could actually buy worthwhile stuff instead of stupid shit. And also, it's called Secret Santa for a reason, it's a fucking secret. Stop trying to figure out who bought what.
2) Christmas gift giving. Kind of hysterical that we celebrate Christ through pure commercialism, like in point one. And of course, the commercialism is hardly charitable but instead giving to friends and family who tend to not be needy. And basically people give as much as they get, so in effect, it's really the equivalent of people just spending money on themselves, but we do this whole family and friend charade to make it seem like we are kind and generous people by this tradition. Of course, this is a pretty common thought, but then in War Room poster mode, I started asking myself what the fuck would be the Islamic equivalent of Christmas? where the festivity is 180 degrees from the teaching. Is there a Ramadan where people get drunk out of their mind, and wolf down copious amounts of bacon?
3) This will be the worst year for shipping delays ever. The sheer volume of things being purchased online versus in store is off the charts, plus delivery systems have to deal with covid precautions and issues too. And ..... people will bitch and complain about this when trying to celebrate the life and teachings of Jesus. WWJD about all the RINOs out there?
