In what world is your comment noteworthy enough for a bump, when it’s a mindless rant aimed at a mod? In the time you spent yelling at a mod you could have bought someone flowers or chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Go cool your head a bit.

It's just a DAY, and no, calling someone bad traits for doing certain things is calling them subhuman.

No thanks, too many red flags. I choose to choose without being held back by fictional abusers. I don't owe god anything, so I'll take my chances with people I care about. Besides, maybe satan's actually cool. The bible's written from a biased perspective and all the cool music's in hell, after all.

No, it isn't. And its a day many of us choose to set aside to celebrate something, because we don't have infinite attention spans to devote to recognizing everything all the time (spoiler alert, you're in the same boat here).

I had a huge family dinner on Valentine's Day, we had barbecue chicken and caldereta, and I enjoyed that day, thank you.

Then leave the bashers alone, just get off the Internet for that day or if you have to use it, then avoid big sites where everyone has a vast range of opinions of that day, just anything to not have your Valentine's Day ruined

Lockdown is being slowly lifted where I am, so it was entirely legal to have the dinner.

Do you think I'm threatened by that? Because I used to be engaged to an anti-Valentines Day person.

A lot of the commercialization surrounding it has also amplified the pre-existing idea of the relationship being one-way with one person giving and another person receiving instead of it being reciprocal, although that's a larger issue which transcends the holiday itself.



I prefer making a gift to give to someone I appreciate anyway.
