@wowaname @matrix Everything's kind of fake and superficial. At some point you just stop worrying about it and just go ahead and enjoy things.

@ArdanianRight @matrix i enjoy things, if they are authentic and meaningful

@wowaname @ArdanianRight @matrix and happy holidays is definitely an attempt to further sterilise the period for maximum commercial applicability

@kline @ArdanianRight @matrix i dont really care one way or another. people take down their lights the very next day and act like christmas never happened. and where i am now, im putting up with the same exact shitty, noisy, obnoxious neighbours that i was putting up with last week.

that's what i mean by it being fake.

@wowaname @kline @ArdanianRight @matrix lights-all-year master race

@kline @matrix being yelled at between christmas and new year's by my grandparents, not one year, but several years, and @ArdanianRight is telling me i should just suck it up and fake it and act like im having fun. it doesnt matter if i call it christmas or "the holidays" when either way i have consistently had bad experiences.

@ArdanianRight @kline @matrix hopefully next year goes well but for now it's a big joke that someone is telling me to enjoy something that i cannot

@ArdanianRight @kline @matrix trying to enjoy something that's fake is equivalent to feigning enjoyment, to me.

@ArdanianRight @kline @matrix i'd love to be festive today but i cannot put my heart into it

@wowaname @kline @matrix Do you not enjoy your family at all?
