It is a lie. Reject false happiness. Enjoy the community of helping your fellow worker.

I mean a lot of hexbear, and Lemmy in general, is like that. Just shitting on other people’s happiness over the most trivial of things, bringing out 500 reasons why thing sucks. And it’s done in a hypocritical manner too, if you were to apply their own logic to things they liked and criticise it, they’d get really angry or give you that fake “I don’t care” attitude that everyone can see through. This happens with every discussion about “treats” on hexbear in particular.

My first thought was “It’s never too early for Halloween”. I can understand hating early Christmas decorations, because Christmas is an all-out capitalist fuckfest with irritating jingles. But who hates Halloween?

mister_flibble ,

Honestly it’s probably in part BECAUSE OF the damn early Christmas decorations that Halloween stuff has been expanding earlier into the fall/summer. Because by mid October you have to wade through a sea of holly jolly bullshit to get to it. Anyone with an issue with the early Halloween stuff, go take it up with Christmas for trying to annex October and not staying on their fucking side of the 31st.

usernamesaredifficul ,

people like christmas and november sucks. Christmas has expanded because everyone wanted it to. Halloween sucks as a holiday and frankly October would be better if it was Christmas

Halloween sucks as a holiday

I’ve never seen such a bad opinion from a Hexbear user.

usernamesaredifficul ,

it’s just a bit underwhelming. Kids knock on your door and you watch a scary movie. You don’t even get a day off and it’s not an all day thing it’s just early night

TheLepidopterists ,
@TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net avatar

Yeah but you get to dress your kid up as a velociraptor or a ghost buster or something and then interact with people who live near you in a friendly way which doesn’t exist outside of Halloween in this atomized hellscape. Plus it’s way more than one day, I’m putting giant spiders all over my place for at least a month. The webs are hell to take down so I might even leave em up through November out of laziness lol

usernamesaredifficul ,

that is true I just wish we culturally made more of a thing of it. If we are to treat it seriously as a holiday it should involve days off work and events

I guess this is one of those YMMW situations. I’m sure Halloween can be fun and cool in America but outside of America it really sucks.

Where I’m from Halloween was not a thing until ten or fifteen years ago when toy stores decided they wanted to use the opportunity to market ugly plastic decorations and shitty costumes. There’s none of the cultural background that gives celebrations like this meaning and it all feels fake, like people are pretending to be Americans rather than taking part in a genuine celebration.

Celebrating Halloween as a non-American also has a tiresome aspect of cultural imperialism in it. Adopting stuff from other cultures is fine but why does it have to be stuff from burgerland every single time? Why can’t we do Dias de los muertos or Chinese New year instead?

TheLepidopterists ,
@TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net avatar

Ah, yeah, I should say my opinion is entirely based around my experience as an American. It’s pretty deeply ingrained here- I mean imagine telling an American that they have to tolerate children running around at 9pm in the dark, they can’t drive their cars around because the streets are clogged with those children and furthermore, they need to stock up on candy because they will be giving it away to the kids.

And there is a culture tradition of vandalizing the homes of people who are stingy about the candy.

If it were new here it’d never even catch on, just like public libraries.

robot_dog_with_gun ,

yeah, new wrecker just dropped

mister_flibble ,

I mean you’re entitled to your opinion but surely this whole thread is evidence to the fact that people also enjoy Halloween. Halloween extending earlier doesn’t really affect anything, there’s not much in the way of holidays in September or hell, even August. Nobody is gonna claim pumpkins and candy are ruining Labor Day. Whereas beyond a certain point, Christmas starts to steamroll other holidays like some sort of tinsel covered Akira. I don’t think it’s unfair to want to enjoy Halloween on it’s own without being inundated with Mariah Carey.

Also we gotta put the line somewhere before it just invades the whole bloody year. You’ve got most of two freaking months already.

fuck christmas it’s a waste of fucking time

Yee Avocado is expensive for a reason. Takes an absurd amount of water to grow.

Tenthrow ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Requiring a lot of water to grow something isn’t inherently problematic. The issues only come in when wealthy landowners steal drinking water during drought conditions to grow things. When it comes down to brass tacks, the cartels are more of an issue with avocado production (and actually one of the bigger reasons they are expensive).

All that to say, it doesn’t really matter in the end. If you enjoy your avocados and can afford them, have at it. We’re all doomed to be crushed under the cloven hooves of our billionaire gods anyway.

Nowhere near as bad as meat and dairy. So you’re vegan, right? Otherwise saying this would be hypocritical.

@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s possible for two things to be bad

MrScottyTay ,

But if you still eat meat and die on the hill of avocados being bad for the planet then you’re a hypocrite. If you truly believe both things can be bad then practice what you preach brother

Sotuanduso ,

Actually, stealing is bad, so I can get away with murdering as many people as I want because at least I’m not a thief.

Maeve ,

Circle of life?

theneverfox ,

Avocados also tend to be grown in places where water is less available… If we all became vegetarians tomorrow, avocados would still be a big problem

Vinny_93 ,

Well I’m pointing out that I was responding to something actually mentioned in the post

BlinkerFluid ,
@BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one avatar

If I don’t eat beef, there’s not much incentive to create better alternatives so that I don’t.

max ,

Lmao are you unironically saying you’re doing the right thing eating beef because you’re creating incentive to make you stop eating beef?

BlinkerFluid ,
@BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one avatar

That’s the joke.

Every time you eat an avocado, a baby seal dies.
