    Oooh, I was going to let this this conversation slide but you’ve actually just nailed it right it the heart of the issue.

    That’s EXACTLY what it is! FUCK! I HATE music that tells me what to feel and I HATE being told to buy shit. I want to have holidays, I really do. I love my family and I love not being at work. It’s just kind of hard to enjoy it knowing it’s all at the cost of our health and prosperity.

    Don’t even get me started on the mathematical theory of manipulative music. There’s a whole equation for how many times you can repeat the hook of a song to make sure it makes the top 40 charts in the US

    RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

      Genuinely Christmas would be so good if we had a rule that presents were abolished the minute you became an adult. I love Christmas but I genuinely hate the wanky consumerism associated with it, and the stress of Christmas shopping. It’s just a bunch of manipulative bullshit to get your wallet out for Bezos.

      Let’s just get drunk and stuff ourselves with turkey, bollocks to consumerism.

        You have no idea how happy this would make me. I suck at gift giving on the designated days, I just want to do it when it’s not expected.

        But designated days for drinking together? Sign me up. You’re invited for Christmas btw
