I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I find it funny how some people think this is a made up holiday by companies to make money. No it was made up by St Valentine's or whatever. Hallmark and other companies make the cards and the candy and other items for money.

It's commercialised bullshit though now. It's nothing more than a profit gap filler for the period after Christmas and before Easter. I only played along with such bullshit for courtesy when I had someone and, what a waste of money that turned out to be.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

It never was celebrated here, but, companies really work hard to get it popular here. And slowly they are succeeding.
I still keep forgetting about Valentines day. Makes the surprise even bigger.

Sounds like the same thing happening here, but with Halloween instead, thankfully its being an failure so far.

Bah, humbug, or whatever the equivalent phrase is for Valentine's day.  The only Valentine's day card I ever got was a pity-card from my sister.

Ýup, they are trying to push Halloween here too.
And Santa is being pushed here too. They are not succeeding that much with Halloween yet. But Christmas is getting more and more a present celebration, kind of silly, because they are not cutting back on St Nic on December 5th.

Advertising does work.
