sin rigs

Let me guess, it comes in 50 shades of grey

It's what you get when you put at least half a dozen traditional festivities, customs and good old commercialisation and put them in the blender.

Just celebrating Yule or the Winter Solstice.

Originally Christmas celebrations were 12 days. It's still accepted to keep an decorations up until the 12th day, so that means you can start taking things down on Epiphany

No need for /s because that's exactly how it works.

"If you hate the right people and say the right things, you are Good People, and Good People can't do no wrong. If you're not one of the Good People, you can do no right. Laws and rationalizations are there to punish those that are not Good People."

Funny how this is a Twitter post as half of all satellites orbiting earth (5581 out of 11300) are owned by Musk.

And at worst send death threats if somebody else posts things not to their liking, because freeze peach.

"Won't somebody think if the children?"

A new priest has to replace another priest who recently retired. As he's taking confession, the woman on the other side says she sinned because she performed a blowjob. The priest had no idea of the correct penance for this. Just then a young acolyte passes so he leans out of his chair and asks the boy: "how much do they give around here for a blowjob?" The boy promptly answers: "One snicker bar, sir."

Yeah, that's the kinda stuff going around in the 80s.

"Make aristocracy great again" seems to sum it up.

It'll postpone the inevitable for another few years, but there'll be another autocrat soon enough. Have enough people with bad jobs and in debt up to their eyeballs, and some minority scapegoating wannabe dictator will appear eager for the job.
