I was wondering why I know that brand, we have a coffee machine from them. Its very average

The christmas holidays just feel very forced and in your face. Also the music is terrible



Also also the only reason it can even compete with the obejctively best holiday Halloween is because it bribes everyone with extra days off and presents

I have nothing against Christmas songs as long as they aren't trying to be "sexy" (so basically the same as how I feel about Halloween costumes, I guess :'p)—which obviously the overplayed songs aren't, just weird specific kitsch choices I hear in the grocery store really.

But I sympathize with everyone who dislikes the songs. They are, after all, quite unavoidable.

I think Christmas gets to bribe everyone just because it's the local stand-in for "winter solstice screw it there's no daylight and everything's vold let's just party for two weeks festival" which is a kind of everyone-far-enough-from-the-equator-has-a-version thing.

That is a lovely video, by the way XD

Im not gonna lie to you. If you dont already have emergency rations set up since covid. You should do it now. 

A lot of the stuff we eat is frozen and shipped for months meaning weve been doing fine with that. 

But so many harvests got destroyed this year that I expect its gonna get ugly soon. 

And people are probably gonna start panic buying again at some point. 

Well I suppose its not guaranteed to happen, but you should be prepared.

Cynically, I don't expect that to translate to there being no food but to food being expensive (and possibly various particular desirable items being out of stock, but that's no death sentence). Which means I'll be fine. The less-fortunate will be in trouble. So, I hope it doesn't come to that too much more than it already has—but I won't be hoarding high density food with a long shelf like we did at the beginning of the pandemic, when it seemed at least faintly possible we would have to deal with either major supply chain collapses, or the realities of quarantine. (Thankfully we merely had congested and overworked supply-chains!)

almost the New Year! Yay!
