It’s a pagan celebration co opted by the church to expand the influence of Christianity.
December 25th is not even the correct day to celebrate the birth of Christ. That’s other pagan holidays being co opted to fuel conversion of “Savages”.
Yule is not a Christian celebration yet it has been supplanted by Christianity.
Some reading on the practice.
Explain Christmas Trees then

Gentle-dom’d? Alright that’s a new one for me.
Hard disagree. These other things being varied are different in one very very important way.
Science is metric. Even in America it’s not controversial to use metric in science, it’s mostly required.
And we have come to understand the world in so much amazing detail, as well as the universe at large because we can understand each other when we need to explain the knowledge we are unlocking with science
If we all have that common base we have proven that we are much much much more capable when we do. So the metric system IS the better choice because it’s what we use when we NEED to be using the same frame of references.
If we can remove the burden of having to relearn basic units of measurement when you have an interest in higher learning, why the hell would you want to waste time having to learn that as an adult?
Anyway that’s my argument for metric being clearly a better direction. Because it’s what built the modern world and is one of the few things that humanity got right(even if there are still hilariously ridiculous things inside it to poke fun at!)
That’s my argument anyway, I do hope I have convinced you though I dont expect to. And I think it’s really more of a matter of when are we just going adopt it and give those that come after us that benefit
But a classic 12" ruler is 30 cm.
Half of that is 6" or 15cm
Half again is 3". Or 7.5"
Then realize visualizing didn’t need to be accurate because it never will be anyway and go from there.
An inch is about 2.5 cm if you need a quick and dirty reference.
Converting by halfs was my go to.
Interesting. Didn’t know it meant that but I can see it now…
I’m taking about what a documentary said “hardtack biscuits” that was popular on the old wooden sailing ships.
They even went through a recipe and tried to recreate them. Holy jaw breakers batman
Some sailor that was like for the love of God can I please have ateast one. Biscuit that isn’t cooked 7 times. Just cook it once please!
Reminds me of an old co worker who couldn’t fathom why his gf got so horny whenever he was sweaty
I’ve responded to and had Stamets comment on some of my posts. Don’t know anything about Violet
You aren’t the first person, but can you please define your abbreviations no one who needs to read your post knows at all what GCC
For those who don’t know
Careful with that “we” there.
Where do you think we are right now?
Uhh I traveled to san Fransisco and there was an Uber booth in mall I was getting some necessities for. The booth dude was like hey come earn some money. I’m not from here , no worries that doesn’t matter, ok well I don’t have a car. That’s fine we can get you sorted on that, it’s a great way to make I little extra money.
No dude I’m not interested.
If you change your mind come back
Thanks for sharing
Thanks a new friend just published his first book. I’ll let him know about that site
If nothing else you are a testament that those asshats are not necessary. And that is valuable on its own regardless of its benefit to you.
You can offer assistance to anyone else on how to buy without using Amazon because there are places and people who may not know how. (If the opportunity presents itself or you choose to create said opportunity)
And you can feel better about your contribution to the economy more than you otherwise might.
It’s not a thing that may go noticed, but it still might be all the difference in the world in the worst moment of your life. You could have been worse than you otherwise chose to be and from my perspective and yours, it’s a fact that you could have been less than you are now.
Keep up the good work, perhaps your story will inspire someone who DOES change the world. Now or in a 100 years. Who can say?
And I want to personally thank you for your choice in this matter. I appreciate you for it. Hugs
I eat cheese on its own as a snack regularly. I never eat bread on its own without at least butter on it.
It’s enjoyable to eat cheese on its own so there is no problem here. And I would also have just put the extra cheese on the last piece of bread but it wouldn’t annoy me in anyway. The bread I would just toss unless I was actually hungry, but I’ve been eating cheese and bread all day so I’m not likely to be hungry
Bread is not good for many birds to eat.
This is a silly premise to begin with, but to answer it having an extra piece of bread left is the less desirable option
