Bruh i actually always wondered where tf the tunnel snakes got their jackets from
The Vault 101 experiment was actually âwhat happens to a group of isolated human beings if we put a bunch of really cool matching leather jackets at the back of vault storage. Would that be cool or what?â
Welp.... it's been quite a bit hasn't it, finally gonna probably start posting again so yay I've been dealing with life and stuff lol so yeah. But I will be getting back to my usual fallout new Vegas content so there you go.
Also I went to new Orleans and absolutely it would be an amazing setting for a future fallout title.
I donât even think Christmas shouldnât be all over the public space like it is. Clearly it does make a lot of people happy and I lowkey I actually kind of like it too! (Sort of. But I also donât.) So, continue covering your town square or wherever with trees and lights, Iâm not saying not to. What I *am* asking for is:
- Acknowledge that Christmas is not a universal holiday and that some people either feel negatively about it or just donât celebrate it. Stop being offended by this.
- Stop forcing people to participate. Donât make your Jewish employees wear Christmas outfits, donât make schoolkids be part of Christmas plays, etc.
- Stop pushing back when Jews are honest with you about how they feel about it.
- Stop deflecting to talk about how Christmas traditions are actually pagan in origin. We know, and also itâs fully irrelevant to our issues with Christmas.
- Recognize things from other cultures. Or at very least donât *prevent* members of other cultures from expressing them. If your employee wants to put up a menorah, let them. If your coworker wants to add a Chanukah decoration to your office donât take it down when theyâre not looking because it âmesses up the Christmas spiritâ or whatever.
- Recognize things from different cultures at other times of the year too. Let your Jewish students and employees take days off for the fall holidays. Maybe even consider merchandise or decorations for those holidays too!
- Stop with the double standards. You donât get to say that a menorah is religious and a Christmas tree isnât. Either both of them are or neither of them are. A menorah actually is a ritual object but a) plenty of secular Jews use them and b) I donât think most Christians know that, they just think of Judaism (and therefore Jewish culture) as âa religionâ and Christian culture as normal. When people claim to object to Chanukah (the holiday most widely â and often exclusively â celebrated by secular Jews) because itâs âreligious,â theyâre actually objecting because itâs non-normative.
- Listen when someone is telling you about their experiences with and thoughts about hegemonic culture. Donât argue that actually itâs fine becaude Christmas is secular or pagan or whatever. Trust people about the experiences theyâve had and how things impact them.
