Respiratory Syncitial Virus, otherwise known as the common cold, was literally not a big deal up until this year, but for some reason apparently large swathes of the population are seemingly exceedingly vulnerable to it this year.

Everyone is pretty fed up with Cousin Rick's bullshit so this might actually work. Thanks.

Me and my entire family is Jewish including him, and it offended him enough that he shut up about it for the rest of the night. I felt like I found a cheat code.

I can’t believe no one has posted a trip report yet. At least a couple of you must have been kicked out of Thanksgiving dinner by now.

I went on a walk with my partners Republican dad. i like pushing his buttons by earnestly agreeing on some topics, such as the purpose of corporations being to make as much profit as possible from the labor or its employees.

later he started on some rant about forest fires and how more forests need to burn and that houses near forests shouldn’t be insured. i suggested the growing population and housing crisis might lead to houses being built in unsafe places anyway. he took it from there to state the necessity of euthanasia to keep the world population under control, “especially old people.”

I asked him the cutoff age and he didn’t answer, just said “people who disagree with me should be euthanized” :cheers:

Sorry to hear about all your sadsack thanksgivings but I just made out like a bandit! Just immediately interrupted peepop's's prayer with a land acknowledgement. Showed all my nieces and nephews a few minutes of my legend of galactic heroes torrents before meemaw noticed. And then just sat in the living room like a boss waiting for any opponents foolish enough to be ensnared by my cspam tempered wits. I was basically this guy except I was winning thanksgiving arguments against my relatives all night:

but yeah hey sorry, your republican dad was really cold and he didn't hug you after your meltdown. Don't worry there's always next year.

Trip Report: my wife skipped her family video thingy, I appeared in her stead so our toddler can be on camera for the 3 hour webcam thingy. During this time she made reddit AItA and OffMyChest posts.

I had a nice 5 minute call on speakerphone with my mom and my baby giggled for her and that made me p happy.

Since last night wife has been following me around the house reading the responses. I ask her, less and less politely each time, to stop telling me about her posts. I thought I could endure any and all abuse she could hurl at me, but I now realize it is time to :sever:
