Look at those cultures celebrating something they hold important for no other reason that it brings them joy and a sense of community, idiots.
Like sure it’s been co-opted and commercialized but this attitude of ‘axshually celebrating new years is stupid for these logical reasons’ is really tiresome. Especially in a community that’s supposed to lift people and cultures up not make fun of them for what makes them happy.
I need lemmy to be able to sense when I’m already cranky and just disable my ability to comment on a 12hr cooldown.
The thing these groats need to recognise is that humans will take any excuse for a party (even if it’s not theirs) and it’s great fun. Miserable cusses.
We throw an annual flannel party in fall because we found a plaid shirt for our dog.
Fantastic. Let me know the date so i may make this an international event
Well, personally, I didn’t choose to celebrate this planet arbitrarily. I chose it because I live there.
You’re telling me Scotty doesn’t like an occasion to drink?
He’s pissed he had to wait for Kirk’s speech to finish
Now that I can believe. “SHUT UP ABOUT FREEDOM, YE OLD WINDBAG! I WANT FREEDOM TO DRINK SOME SCOTCH!”
Well, they’re all humans from Earth, so it makes sense that they’d continue to observe their own traditional celebrations. I’m sure the Klingons also have their own holidays, tied to their own calendar, and I don’t see any problem with that. Same for every other group.
Was this actually a New Year’s Day thing or was it just a wrap party thing?
