There’s an art to the gift that can be regifted. It must be generic enough that the (second) giver could regive it to pretty much anyone, but not so plain that it’s clearly been regifted.

I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year. I’m Asatru (Neo-Norse pagan, not the racist ones) My hubby’s family is some flavor of fairly tolerant Christian. but it will be interesting to see their reaction when I dedicate the feast to Odin.

Yet another example of why Wars > Trek, always and forever.

I’m sorry and I don’t wish to disparage your fellow country folk but the U.S. really needs to get it’s education system in order.

Fuck off you precious little Kiwi cunts, I got no time for your shit.

I believe my conservative, upper middle class Scot in-laws have probably never had a swear word pass their lips - to the extent my mother-in-law told my kids that they mustn’t EVER use the word “fart” as it was very vulgar. She told them to use the term “windy pop” instead. I told my sons (going to the regular old…
