bitterandtwisted posted:It's also depressing. You're hounded with relentless Christmas cheer for months by every source of advertising and then there's an almost audible sound of an axe coming down and Christmas is instantly over and every shopfront and TV ad is covered in red and white Sale, Sale, Sale posters. People can only keep up the illusion that they actually like each other for so long.

I like black friday because its a chance for the economically disadvantaged like myself to obtain luxuries that are typically unattainable during the rest of the year

I like it because commercialism is good and you all should buy things for your friends and loved ones.

My students keep showing me this: https://youtu.be/WCpKhCyqmFE It's not that it isn't kinda of funny, I'm just sick of it and its casual homophobia.

Am I missing the joke? I didn't think it was that funny, just kind of...perplexing. I'd rather hear an annoying Christmas carol right now than see another self-aggrandizing "viral" video of someone sitting in their car and weepily patting themselves on the back because they bought a homeless person a meal or something. I can't figure out how to put the video here, but in one of the ones I''m talking about, "Jesus" told her not to buy a guy fried chicken because he needs "protein for his backpack," so she buys him some protein bars and--miracle of miracles!!--the woman behind her just HAPPENED to hear Jesus tell her he wants fried chicken. So the homeless guy gets a hot meal for once, "viral" lady gets to feel good about herself, and then continue ignoring philanthropy of any kind until next year. Just. loving help people. Do it because they need it and you can, not for likes. And it's going to be loving colder in January. Do it then too. Also stop talking to Jesus in public, or you might end up committed.
