CyborgSage00x0 06/20/23 2:45:50 PM #45:	My answer is kinda "other" - I didn't get it off this year, but certainly will next year. I'm a film union worker, and if the DGA votes to approve the recent deal, it will be a union holiday for those members...which means it will be a union holiday for all film workers, since studios aren't going to pay holiday rates to the most expensive film crew members. So no, but it will be. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:974285634] in Do you get...

That seems weird, NYE is the day everyone celebrates the new year Most of us are done with work by 5PM, plenty of time to get ready and go out before midnight. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain <cite>Dikitain posted [p:974287562] in Do you get...

Ozmose 06/20/23 4:42:04 PM #47:	We celebrate things all wrong in this country. You can get a day off work every year to commemorate mythical events that probably never even happened, but they won't give you one to go vote. Thousands of people got maimed and murdered to liberate people from concentration camps and they give them a day, but suck a few dicks and they'll dedicate a whole month to you. Logic. --- Most people are other people.

Dawg 06/20/23 4:56:34 PM #48:	Pride month and black history month and so on are definitely about sucking dicks and having a certain skin color and not about a history of having to fight oppression These "whole months" come with zero actual days off from work btw, or am I just not sucking enough dicks?

That last sentence strongly sounds like homophobia, vis a vis Pride Month (which isn't a holiday). So, false equivalency on top of that. As far as getting off work (and paid for it, too, horay unions), I don't really care the reason as to why, but there's plenty that are more offensive or stupid to go after (like President's Day...the fuck?). ReturnOfFa posted... You seem to have something on your mind, because I can assure you that that isn't how the majority of people view these months. Pretty sure the vast majority of people see it as acknowledging/celebrating those classes of people, especially due to the historical (and on-going) oppression of them. I would suggest hanging less around the Fox News types if you honestly think Pride is about celebrating dick sucking. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:974288789] in Do you get...
