DiscussionDo you participate in exchanging gifts for Christmas?
For the past few years I've mostly opted out of Christmas gift exchange. I've observed that the adults in my life usually purchase things they want on their own, while the children have so much already that whatever I give them barely seems to register (if it's even acknowledged! Kids these days...).
I started feeling like I needed to buy things just for the sake of giving a gift. Not a fun feeling. Now I prefer to give baked goods and cards if I want to give something tangible. Otherwise I like to do an experience with people around the holidays, like a nice dinner out or hosting a get together. Especially for friends and family who live far away, I'd rather spend money on visiting them and treating them when we're together than scrambling to give a Christmas gift that's likely just going to collect dust.
I still decorate my house and indulge in the festiveness of the season but as far as gifting...eh. I'm not into giving or receiving anymore, at least not material goods. If you had told kid me that I'd turn into this kind of adult, I would never have believed you🤣
Just curious how others are approaching the season.🎄
I'm glad to see someone else watched this episode. Notice she pulled her kids out of private school. No where is safe, even if you have money!
I like Megyn. I know she's somewhat of a darling of the right, but she gives no quarter with this foolishness.
This was a pretty great interview. Really wish she had gone harder on the trans kid issue, Bill has been dancing around the woke genderists all season and it's starting to seem suspicious. His final monologue for "New Rules" this episode was great and perfectly applies to the stupid gender bullshit, so I really don't understand why he won't call it out!
He's made dumb comments about transgender stuff in the past, such as presenting "bathroom bills" as being based upon "imaginary concerns," and mocking the idea of predatory males taking advantage of pro-genderism policies. Not really a fan of Steven Crowder, but he actually did a pretty good response to Bill's poo-pooing of a guest talking about people saying that men can menstruate. He refused to take it seriously, and Steven proved that not only are people saying this, but that companies are saying this.
I wish Bill had the guts to go there. Maybe he relies too much on his interns to tell him what the hot topics are now?
I've wondered what's up with him too. Usually there are no sacred cows if he thinks something is laughable, and this seems like just the sort of thing that he would find ridiculous. He's probably been told.
At the same time I'm not surprised he doesn't think much of the bathroom bills. I mean, I used to think that way too - who would go through the trouble? Well, I know better now!
I remember Bill rolling his eyes in a New Rules segment about TRAs canceling The Vagina Monologs
I remember he had Eddie Izzard on before he’d come out as trans and Bill kept being up the subject of him wearing women’s clothes and kind of mocking him. And I think after the heat he received from that episode he reeled it in. I’m sure if he had Eddie on now he’d be treating him like a proper lady to pander to the woketivists he claims to resent.
