    Juneteenth is a US holiday, what you are doing?

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    To be fair, Tanooki is some white guy who’s never had security eyeball him while he’s gone shopping, or had to fear for his life whenever he’s been pulled over by the police. He’s never known people staring at him in his neighborhood with glares that communicated that he didn’t belong. He never had someone assume he was dumb or a criminal just from looking at him.

    So of course he’s going to casually dismiss anything that recognizes and brings attention to discrimination to peoples who have endured real hardship, because he can’t handle the fact that someone besides him is ever the victim.

    Haha we get it, your lame racism joke didn’t land. You can’t be bothered to crack open a book or do a simple google search. Nobody cares that you’re over “specialized” holidays. They aren’t for you.

    The tricky thing was when it became a federal holiday.   It had some way short run-up (like a week's notice maybe?) in 2021 so there was confusion when the banks and post offices were suddenly closed that year.

    That’s the crazy part. I work for the Postal Service and I didn’t get it off the first year because their attitude was that they couldn’t shut down the mail on 3-days’ notice.

    Never said it was.  I'm just saying it was changed at this time is all.  When I said set someone off, I just don't consider it a holiday but another day of the week just like all the other random stuff you need to google to find out what holiday of the day it is these days.  Cheeseburger day, national donut day, national cheesy socks day, alien abduction day, etc.

    Are you seriously equating a holiday commemorating the announcement of the end of slavery to slaves in the Confederacy to cheeseburger day? What the hell is wrong with you?

    Outside of that, get a beater and apply one of those industry retail annoyances with the lock, key, and steel cable attachment to the table and to the handheld itself.

    I prefer to imagine there’s just some big guy in a suit standing behind you while you play, holding a baseball bat, saying: “Is youze playin the one with the toitles? Daz a good game but you don take capiche?”

    Ok that’s a lot to unpack there for a post in LRG, so I’m just going to be brief.

    Please don’t leave. Please be a Dragon Quest fan, especially wherever it relates to the Dragon Warrior games.

    Please defend yourself when you feel someone isn’t actually engaging your conversation and is just saying what they want to say, but please do be civil even if you don’t like them. Especially if you don’t like them.
