      Oddly enough, my go-to place for Chinese food is closed today. I was wanting some teriyaki chicken, but instead I’m going to have reheated pizza…

    There is an independent green grocer run by a Muslim near my parents place and you can always tell who the local racist boomers are because they will

    A. Complain the shop is closed on Muslim holidays and
    B. Complain that the store is open on Christmas while buying last minute things because they are the only place open.

    I live in a city of ~4 million. I love how quiet the city is today.

    Going to go ride my bike and enjoy the utter lack of people trying to murder me with their rolling death machines.

      Oh that’s brilliant, didn’t even think of the fact. It is ridiculously warm so I think I will go out on my bike too.

    why turn down a chance for good food and celebration?
    Just join them, who cares whats the reason for the holiday. it’s not like all the people who celebrate christmas are even remotely christian.

      There’s nobody for me to join, the only family that are not horrible manipulative monsters are beyond my means of travel, currently it’s just me and the dog so there’s really no point in making an elaborate dinner for myself. So today is just me being bored and alone till friends become available again.

      I don’t not celebrate it because Christian or whatever. I don’t celebrate it because there’s nobody to celebrate it with

    This was how the “chineese food and movies” tradition started. The Christians dominated American towns, while the next two groups (Jewish and Buddhist) did not celebrate Christmas. So the Jews would go to Chinese restaurants and the Asians would go the the Jewish owned movie theaters. Thus beginning a new several decades long American tradition for any non Christian of getting chineese food and going to the movies.

    Woah, was she always wearing yellow early on or was this just for this episode? I’m so used to seeing her in command red.

      Mariner was briefly promoted to lieutenant as a means to reign in her behavior. Didn’t take.

    It’s weird to see people still argue even more should shut down and literally no one should work today…

    To lots of people it’s just a normal Wednesday (it’s dude’s day my dudes).

    Especially if they needed to use up personal days to celebrate other holidays
