Respectfully, that's too early. More than six weeks of Christmas season is just too much.

If you can't handle the videos, don't watch them!

I don't plan to.

First Sunday of Advent, no sooner

I'm not. As soon as it is seasonally appropriate to do so I'll be blasting "The Man in the Santa Suit" on repeat.

As you relax, so do your sphincter muscles.

A one-day ban IS a warning.

Harsh? Yes.

Necessary? Often.

I encounter it no more often online than IRL. If anything, somewhat less.

Can't answer that, but I can tell you that lemmy lets you edit post titles.

The election results roll in and that's it.

well, okay, so:

U, V, and W are all descended from the same letter in Latin. V and W are the consonate versions of that ur-letter and U is the vowel version.

But W is much closer to the remaining vowel sound: We could spell "whiskey" as "uiskey" without really changing the pronuncuation, for example.

So despite the glyph, it's much closer to a U than a V; it's the U that saw glyphic differentiation even though it's V that saw phonic differentiation.
