Probably fine that centrists regularly reverse-engineer the politics of Starship Troopers without the satire.

Fashion in the early 2000s was so bad that I didn't realize I was dysphoric. I just thought I had common sense.

If you ever find yourself creating a fantasy species and building their society based around specific biological evolutionary characteristics, remind yourself that humans are the ultimate pursuit predator and yet we have developed a society built around sitting or standing around in small rooms

I mean, thank goodness, but why? The Gregorian calendar is even named after a pope. It's not like he was thinking, "If I made the secular year start on Christmas, it would make all those people I consider below me/outright evil feel left out."

Hey.

Since Christmas is supposed to be the birthday of Jesus, and the Gregorian calendar counts years in an AD/BC system starting from the birth of Jesus...why doesn't New Years Day coincide with Christmas?
