The Bahummiest of Humbugs

I'll never understand what all the fascination is with one day that was arbitrarily chosen to be significant.

Don't hand me those lines about it being a time to show "good will" and "appreciation" for your fellow man. If people truly believed those ideals were important they wouldn't need to adhere to a schedule to be reminded to extend that gratitude, nor would it lead to the near-riots at limited time sales. Nothing says "Peace on Earth" quite like elbowing someone else out of the way so you can grab the last product off the shelf for yourself.

It's all a marketing ploy.

Believe me, I should know... I wonder what the sales figures look like this year.

I hate to give you the bad news, but capitalism or no capitalism you'd still find people exploiting one another for personal gain. It's not the system, it's humans in general.

.. And people accuse me of having a chip on my shoulder. Sounds like you have enough underlying issues to give some lucky therapist job security for the duration of their life.

[Now there's a thought, though he doesn't give her the satisfaction of openly agreeing with the statement. If people just used the occasion to look up to him and his accomplishments he definitely wouldn't be complaining. As much]

I don't really care why Christmas matters to others, which I thought was obvious but clearly you're too thick to grasp that.

(Humans are a mess and there's a reason the Hell she's from suffers from overpopulation issues.)

I need a therapist, says the guy who's apparently too cool and too busy hating his dad to celebrate any holiday. The hilarious part is this reads way too sincerely to be a shitpost. Do you get any nosebleeds being so high up on your pedestal?

This is exactly the kind of post that would make it to Reddit's front page and not deserve the attention. I don't even need to read the other responses to know you're simultaneously dick waving and writing off everyone else's opinions as meaningless.

[No argument here]

That hatred is warranted, but he no longer holds any influence over my life. You've probably met him in hell and never even realized it.

[.. Because that's where he belongs. Let's just hope he didn't back up his consciousness on any other virtual reality systems...]

The hazards of being brilliant and successful, there's always someone waiting to try and tear you down while they seethe with envy for everything you possess.

You could write an entry yourself, you know.. if you're so starved for attention.
