I'm staying out of the USA completely for the "holiday" season.
Wow! No vacations, no gifts and no special meals! Sounds like the holidays would be a fucking BLAST with you! lol!
Only if you let it. It’s what you make it. Focus on love and good times together and you won’t go far wrong.
Avoiding consumerism and living a simple life sound great until you have to actually do them.
It adds a lot of unnecessary pressure to what should be happy times I think
Pretty sure it ruins lots of things, like my faith in humanity.
Lol was a good take till you started talking about global warming😂
Global warming exists wether you like it or not, it isn’t up for debate. The scientific consensus is here and I doubt you’re smarter than people who have been studying our changing climate for years
It does exist but it is 100% natural. There are always patterns where it is hotter then a lot colder going way back
I’m sorry my friend, but you do not understand climate science. Of course some levels of climate change are perfect fine but our overuse of non renewable resources is putting co2 and other gases in the atmosphere which warns the earth. When these levels of gas go into the atmosphere at rates faster than the earth can replenish itself that is where the problems start
Weird cause it's colder now then it was 50 million years ago😂 its not ann issue. Is completely normal. Its following the trend that is climate
Did you not pass science? This is called the greenhouse effect and most people are taught about this. Again, if the world was colder now like you claim why the fuck are our ice caps in ant Attica melting?
That permafrost is holding in a bunch of disease too and The melting ice is going to displace millions in coastline cities once rising sea levels happen if we don’t try our best to fight climate change as a whole

Because there was a period with no ice caps then then there were ice caps and now we are going into the no ice caps area again
Its science patters
Yo imma follow because you’re so cool.
Capitalism ruins everything.
Most businesses are bread and butter on Christmas month they may make 80% of their years bussiness
It's ruined a lot more than Christmas.
No, Christianity ruined it.
Has cancel culture ruined us? Yes
Nothing I said had anything to do with cancel culture, I plan on doing a my take debunking cancel culture though. Because fundamentally I don’t believe it exists, do you know how many celebrities have done the most deplorable shit and still have a fan base? I can name several
A toxic evil subculture existing doesn't detract from cancel culture existing.
There are evil evil people who abuse there power because there elites or elitist pawns but that doenst mean we can have democrat elite control opposition control the social justice narrative and we just ruin everybody life if there accused of rape or say something that doesn't follow the controlled opposition narrative
@WilliamPamer446 why are you refuting a position I haven’t even taken and getting way off topic spouting nonsense
Idc if u didn’t mention cancel culture. I mentioned it. Cancel culture IS a problem
@JohnK123 that response wasn’t even for you
im not buddy im just saying my opinion and it does make sense i juss explained it poorly
@doopayo yes it was to me because u talked about cancel culture when I brought it up
I wasn't trying to go off on you Doopayo juss haring my take. And maybe cancel culture, with its greed and jealousy and rage and lust for power and revenge, makes consumer culture even worse
It does not work well under Communism either.
and how would you know
Because I know people that lived in Communist Russia and practicing religion was not allowed. Look, at 15, I guess you think you know everything, I just has an exchange with a 37 year old guy trying to tell me that he is the ultimate authority on morality and just about everything else. I have been both 15 and 37 and if you learn one thing from anything I say, in my case, I never stop learning and I have an open mind. Try that for a week and see how it fits.
If you have an open mind have you read the red book of communism?
Christmas is a racket. I hate it.
Christmas is supposed to be Christ centered.
Christ wouldn’t be a fan of the ecological impact of overconsumption and materialism
yes by a long way...
Nope it’s helped
Nope.
