I discovered a few carpenter ants in my abode and immediately waged war against them. I shall prevail and reclaim my territory.

Is this like moments of bad luck, or unfortunate "gifts", or things that make you say "oh ahh I could burn this and accelerate climate change"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yeah any of that.

Because Christmas Day is supposed to be a magical flawless wonderful day full of joyous gifts and love,

But sometimes shit happens.

I was the one putting the coal in the stocking this year and gifted someone a rock. It was a gag gift in a set of actual gifts, and it was on theme, but still. Gave somebody a rock for Christmas.

Ahaha! NOW I understand what you meant by "I could burn this and accelerate climate change"
