Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Can you say Merry Christmas or is that oppressive in the states?
I left the states and started traveling before that became a thing, and I noticed when I visited years later that everyone said happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas.
What's the general culture rule on that now?
Do I say Merry Christmas and then the other person just says happy whatever their holiday is?
It's only a thing in the fever dreams of conservatives. People just say whatever and it's fine.
What's funny is I still say Merry Christmas out if pure habit, which would probably make one of these Christofascists happy until they see my actual lifestyle, music, etc.
I say Merry Christmas and I am not even Christian, and I've said it to non-Christians too haha. I had no idea it could be a controversial thing to do.
