In Scandinavia we never stopped calling the holiday by it's pagan name - jul.

We've been told for a thousand years now that it's somehow supposed to refer to the birth of Christ, but the celebration is older than Christianity and nobody knows for sure the origin of it's name. As far as me and my family is concerned, it's a pagan holiday.

Happy to celebrate with my Christian friends though, there's nothing wrong with being inclusive.

God jul!

Thanks - here's a direct link to the conversation, for anyone interested.

There's brutaldon, but it requires you to sign in unfortunately.

I was one of those pedantic assholes arguing that one shouldn't use the term genocide too quickly, as you could have pretty fucking awful crimes against humanity without meeting the definition of genocide.

But yeah, at this point the line has been crossed a long time ago. It's genocide.

To be fair to the israelis, pregnant ladies are the two for one discounts of bulldozing people to death.

Slow cooked pork ribs with boiled potatoes and sour cabbage. It's a tradition to the point of pretty much being mandated by law at this point.

Nothing short of heroic - too many people in a similar situation find themselves saying that it's awful what's happening, but there's nothing they can do about it.

Well, it turns out there is. Inspiring as hell.

Does someone know if anyone maintains a list of companies or organizations where this kind of bullshit has gone down, with link to sources? Could be useful to keep track.

I can't believe how quickly we went from pretending we thought murdering civilians was a bad thing to concluding it's merely a matter of killing the right civilians.

There's a lot of less resourceful russian men who fled to escape the draft as well, generally to countries in Western Asia rather than in Europe. But they had better reasons to leave then most.

Been listening to this lately, loving it. Always keeps it entertaining, stays true to the discipline, and I'm always learning a lot.

Is this basically the people acting out the lyrics of Johnny Cash's Cry! Cry! Cry!?

It seems like a reasonable stance, but I'm just confused by how often you could possibly have people forecasting your downfall. I mean, unless you're secretly a leader of a country currently engaged in war crimes or something.

In my experience it's not so much about putting a limit as it is about avoiding takers and finding other givers. But one has to be careful not to be used. :)

I appreciate your point, but you should really consider emphasizing the point of your comment using bold text. It would make it easier to read.

It's celebrity news and he's unharmed. I feel like the jokes are appropriate enough.

Could very well be a random crazy rich person.

At my old job they were singing Hallelujah at an event because someone had required more secular holiday music.

Which.. I mean.. yeah.

Love the song though. Best song ever written about faith, God, and sex in juxtaposition.

Not necessarily more strict, but joining the Union would open the waters for European fisheries which is politically unpopular.

It's not. He wants to create a social media that exploits its users without being accused of monopolistic behaviour.

Also searching for #sup in Mastodon has been a good way to find information about developments. Not so necessary now that there's an official account I guess. :)

I think it's beautiful! Places it geographically and culturally (north, cold), the colours are nice, and the shapes are simple yet original.
