It's a Festivus for the rest of us.
Gather round the pole!
The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances:
I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about them.
@vgr is locked, so I cannot QT his Festivus pole. I saved the image.
For @vgr
How dare you be locked on Festivus! You're throwing a wrench in the works here!
For my Ex:
You remain a terrible parent to our children.
You still haven't refinanced the house. (In progress, I know, but still!)
For my current client:
After your previous shop dropped you, after several people quit, how have you not realized you're the problem here?
I'm glad our contrast is ending soon. Maybe you'll bother to get someone who actually cares about the product you're allegedly developing.
For my elder son:
Your utter unwillingness to actually do your school work will dog you for years. I wish you would bite the bullet of doing it now rather than the bullet of flunking.
Perhaps losing your sports eligibility will be a wakeup call?
For my brother in-law:
Your bizarre behavior has caused a split in the family. Now I need to decide if I'm going to invite my brother or my sister to an event, and that is terrible.
Fuck you.
For @elonmusk:
I have no idea what you're trying to do here. Is there no plan?
For the fediverse:
Leave it you you clowns to make an even worse environment than Twitter.
The fediblock campaigning to get instances defederated is truly gross and mostly serves as an object lesson in how shitty people can be.
For my mother:
I wish you weren't such a god damned disaster.
For my brother:
I understand that you feel like you need to prioritize your nuclear family, but I really wish you would help more with mom. Especially since you are the one who drove the push in the first place.
For my father:
Moving to Florida in the first place was a bad idea. Rebuilding there after the hurricane is worse.
For Congress:
I wish you would do your job instead of handing it off to the Supreme Court, the Executive, or Administrative Law.
For Twitter:
There used to be a way to untag people. Will VGR and Elon get notified on this entire thread? Who knows?
For The Android Spell Checker:
Please stop marking the last word in every sentence as misspelled because of the adjacent period. It's very frustrating.
For Glowfic:
You're wasting a bunch of my time and then the threads are all "on hiatus" and nothing is ever finished.
For http://moa.party:
Why did you stop mirroring this thread halfway through? Your behavior is kind of inscrutable.
Also, I wish you could distinguish between QTs and links to tweets.
For my younger son:
You need to learn to understand that the system has predictable responses to certain actions, and not take those actions.
You also need to be your own advocate to fix the problems that are affecting you.
