Christmas gifts for adults is generally a waste and a source of needless stress. If someone needs help thats another matter, but otherwise no more Christmas gifts past 18.

Get gifts for people you love as you can, don't go outside of your means and don't stress, just enjoy the act of doing things for your pals and lovers

Giving gifts was always the best part of Christmas. Getting stuff you vaguely do/don't need just comes with it.

Ah yes, Finns, the nation who literally literally have a Yule Month, are notorious for hibernating all through Yule.

Serious answer: Tove Jansson was Finnish-Swedish and they have December instead of Yule Month. Sucks to be them :shrug:

They call it Yule Month because Yule be sleepin’ for a month if you’re Finnish.

I've never had any of that weird gross ammonia licorice. I don't like normal licorice so maybe that stuff is so bad it wraps back around to good.

It's ammonium chloride, not ammonia.

Is that like how bears technically don't hibernate, they just sleep through winter?

Also, could you ask the rest of the Finns to pick up their game? I wanted to post a Spurdo Moomintroll here, but couldn't find one. Is there a rule that you can't combine them?

Stimulants were never my thing, but getting drunk and doing a few lines of coke to stay awake and keep partying can be fun. I never liked doing coke on it's own though. Just never felt the same or as fun when it wasn't mixed with several hours of drinking.

Being around a bunch of coked up people sober is near unbearable though.

Drugs are all generally pretty fun? I haven't taken heroin so I can't say but everything else I've ever taken has been at least a good time.

Cocaine definitely makes you an rear end in a top hat and being around coked up people sober is extremely obnoxious

I dont know how people get through life without smoking weed at least every weekend.

I had a lot of fun the one time i took mdma but i felt awful for a few days after.

Alcohol is bafflingly popular to me, I've always got severe hangovers though, it must be loving awful to be an alcoholic but I just don't get how anyone manages it.

Changing almost all of the forums UI to not be rude anymore after Lowtax sold the site was an insanely lame move. I recoil in disgust every time I see "You don't have any new private messages....yet."

On the flip side I can’t imagine not drinking every weekend but don’t understand why people like weed! Really makes ya think.

People like weed because it makes them falsely believe they're not the most boring people anyone who knows them knows.

They manage it by continuing to drink.

I've given up booze because I dont actually find it fun. I'd like to smoke weed more because it agrees with me but I've never actually made any connections that I could buy it from. I'm not very cool, it appears. I definitely need something, I can't do the whole "wasteland of reality" bit.

I liked MDMA when I tried that and cheap Speed was okay, but the comedowns gave me Lovecraftian scale dread.

coke was a huge disappointment

I'll stick with the stuff that grows out of the ground. Hopefully some day before I'm dead I'll be able to just grow my own weed and mushrooms. Everyone should eat some mushrooms a couple times a year. I am also one of those guys who gets hella bad hangovers, and drunks annoy the poo poo out of me, so booze is out.

I can't even imagine thinking stoners are annoying but liking drunks. If that's the case you're hosed in the head imo

Don't do all of those at once. That guy is weird and he really wants to tell you about the Machine Aliens that run the Universal Plane of Everlasting Light.

I think ketamine is the most positive and wonderful experience I have had in my life. I wouldn't recommend people try it out and I don't understand why you'd choose to do it for fun.

I got 4 pairs of woolly socks, they are stacking up, send help. Not all this year but acquiring them at much faster pace than they wear out.

Big Joulu tradition in southern Finland is complaining about how there is no snow yet on Christmas, and this looks like a good year for that. Just dark and wet, or covered in ice depending on the day. :finland:
