Happy socially enforced consumerism day everyone!

So you're saying just 364 but not the 25th?
-
Who here is stopping you from having fun?
-
well this year is a leap year so that would make it 366 days. so it could be 365 days except for the 25th of December

Ahh i see. This is another good learning moment for you. Have you heard of the term colloquialism before? Essentially, a colloquialism is used in or characteristic of familiar and informal conversation.
People typically use the term "shill" non-literally or sarcastically in casual conversation to criticize someone who passionately supports a cause, even if there’s no secret agenda. A good example is the way people use the word "literally" today. The word "literally" means 'word for word' or 'not figuratively'. However, most people use it today to intensify or dramatize their statements e.g I was so hungry, I literally had to eat the whole fridge. You can see that "literally" is used figuratively here
So that was my intention when using the word "shill". Call it hyperbolic or rhetorical if you will.

I imagine huffing their own farts this much must catch them a buzz, at least.

Oh I'm all sorts of mentally ill and this whole holiday is draining on my soul and bank account. I guess different people have different experiences of life huh

Lol you tried
-
Well, if so, I hope it makes you feel marginally better to shit on other people's experiences. Cheers.
-
I don't think I did any shitting on anyone here, I tend to do that in the toilet
-
Everyone is free to enjoy the holidays, working retail kind of sucked the life out of it for me personally.
-
I'm sorry but tge fact that we can't even say "Fuck Christmas" is part of the problem. toxic positivity is baked into the holiday. it adds pressure to an already dark time
historically the holiday was about banding together through the darkest part of winter, so you are definitely speaking from a place of tradition, but...
we're allowed to feel differently from the culturally accepted way of thinking about this holiday, even if we all enjoy it. fuck christmas.

Ok cop hater

Hot take
Yes it is a Christian holiday and is part of the Christian faith
-
Naah, it's Pagan. Christians just hijacked it to make it socially acceptable in old Rome.
-
Finally a traditional way to deal with that annoying stepmom.
-
so bored of this joke now
-
Lemmy is the equivalent of you annoying cousin going through a Che Guevara phase: they're going to spend the most of the holiday mumbling into their chin about "commercialization" and "exploitation, but you're nonetheless happy they're here.
