The NY insurance killer was almost certainly spotted solely because he was the only person wearing a mask at the McDonald's in Altoona, PA.

Now I can understand how that one Japanese soldier continued fighting in the jungle for decades because he didn't hear the news of the surrender from his emporer.

I agree there are definitely still plenty of broken people. That said, I wouldnt be surprised if those forums are primarily trolls making up stuff to see the responses. Like online forums where the Kipling Dynamites of the world think theylre taking to women, but most of them are guys pretending to be women for the LOLs.

I've never understand the hang up with "Friendsgiving" on this site. It's just an easier way of saying you're doing Thanksgiving with friends instead of family. Plenty of folks came from terrible family lives and enjoy spending the holidays with chosen family.

Sure - they can be woke, but plenty of conservatives do it. First one I went to was after a friend died a few weeks before Thanksgiving while we were at A&M. We brought all their friends and family in and had a great time that wasn't nearly as depressing as a "family" Thanksgiving would have been.

Just the conformity police here who think that everything from your breakfast cereal to your vacation spot is a litmus test for whether you are a woke libtard Karen or a good conservative God-fearin' 'Merican.

What is it with this distinguishing of Thanksgiving?

It is not called Familygiving or some such?

Why can't friends have a Thanksgiving (for existence if they recognize nothing else?) dinner among themselves?

I frequent another board that is mostly made up of leftists. They will have cold-like symptoms, admit they tested negative for covid- usually multiple times - but still decide they are going to isolate themselves for a certain amount of time (usually "only" a week) and then wear a mask for a couple of weeks after that.



Two things that should have been reinforced by Covid

1. Wash your hands frequently
2. If you're sick, stay home. No need to stay home a week for a cold, but if you have a fever, stay the eff home for a day or two.


Pretty much everything else was ineffective overkill.

I typically associate Thanksgiving with the 4th Thursday in November. My friends and my children come up with these other names for get-togethers that don't happen on that day. For example, the boys in the youth group had dudes-giving on Saturday. The HS track team had a tracks-giving potluck.

Why would that exclude the "Thanks" in Thanksgiving? People aren't thankful for their friends?

I kid. I know the answer. The 'friendsgiving' label is virtue signaling about cutting off family.

Main objection is it sounds more likely driven by wokeism. Thanksgiving is a potentially neutral term and no need to change it.

That's not what I saw people doing.

They'd get sick with a cold or flu but test negative for covid. Then they'd decide to go visit their elderly relatives because "it wasn't covid".

I had one relative with a bad flu invite the whole family to her house for holiday dinner. Of course, she didn't mention that she was sick before the guests arrived. She wouldn't let anybody take over the food preparation and proceeded to hack, cough, and sneeze over the food while telling everybody she felt awful but it was ok because 'it wasn't covid".

Yep, the guests got sick and yep, she had made everybody get covid tests at a previous holiday dinner.

The vast majority of people demanding covid tests, isolation, and masking are attention seeking idiots.

My 'friend' has just sent me a photo of a place she's at right now with her mate. That she wants to take me when I come to visit.
It's indoors.
I have repeatedly told her I won't be visiting, and can't go indoors to eat/dine because of Covid safety.
She has had Covid in her house THREE TIMES this year.
Ever feel like your friends aren't really your friends anymore?
That they just want to gaslight and dismiss you for their own comfort and peace of mind, whilst you feel increasingly abandoned and ignored?
Imagine ignoring your disabled friend's boundaries and pretending their access needs don't exist....but doing it in this overly generous way, with smiley face emojis.
I love the bones of this human, but I honestly feel like I'm just ****ing DONE.
Stay strong, Critters. Keep masking. You're not alone. x

Had lunch Wednesday with an associate I haven't seen in a long time.

I was amazed to hear that he's taken every shot and booster.

Bit my tongue, but this one threw me for a loop.

There are people out there that think the jab is going to save them.

Same. I host or attend a Friendsgiving every year. It's just a name to indicate a Thanksgiving style potluck dinner with friends instead of the traditional one with family. The backlash is odd. I've never considered it a liberal vs conservative thing.

I'll also look forward to hosting another Friendsgiving next year, along with the normal Thanksgiving dinners with family.

Thanksgiving for people that are too self-absorbed to be thankful for the blessings in their life, and who like to fabricate problems so they have something to talk about, because their lives are so empty, that conversational topics are difficult.

We are having a Christmas party tomorrow night. We will have family, friends and neighbors joining us for cocktails and finger foods.

What should I call this get-together? I am thinking a "Christ-fam-fren-neigh party" so everybody on Nextdoor knows it's not just a normal Chrsitmas party.

Until today, I had no idea that people thought "Friendsgiving" was a liberal term, or that it had anything to do with cutting off family. In my circle, everyone celebrates Thanksgiving with their respective families on Thanksgiving day, and we have a Friendsgiving get together the following day. Everyone brings their leftovers, the kids run around crazy playing together, and the adults sit around the fire pit eating and drinking for hours. We look forward to it every year and not a one of us are liberals or are estranged from our families.

See that is an example of one where can see an activist being put out. Christmas is specific enough related can see why are left woke might have to feel to re-name it.

But Thanksgiving does not say "Family oriented Thanksgiving" there is nothing about the event that needs re-naming, even from some agitator perspective.

3. Lose weight
4. Exercise
5. Take vitamin D3 and Zinc

You don't have to worry about someone getting sick from a social gathering. It's the risk inherent in the broader social compact. Society breaks down without most veryone being willing to assume this small basic risk

At a certain point, there has to be an intervention, deprogramming, something. It must be like the sorcerer's apprentice trying to herd every single thought into a "left" or "right" paradigm.
