What's my best feature?

Like your literate and intelligent about politics and life and hos to be happy and stuff which is good things to know about yknow

Good point that it is part of our culture. Culturally we are a Christian country after all. And of bank holidays I only think that Constitution Day (June 6th) isn't religiously founded. (Although I'm not sure whether New Years day is religiously founded; I think it is though.) Of the top of my head there's: New Years Day, Thursday before Easter (the day before Good Friday; no idea what it's English name is), Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Second Easter Day, the Great Prayer Day (4th Friday after Easter; you eat special buns the night before), Ascension Day (the day Christ went to heaven), Pentecost Sunday, Second Pentecost Day (think it's called Whit Monday or something like that in English), Constitution Day, Christmas Day, Second Christmas Day. I might have missed one or two, but that's about what we have. As you can see our holidays are firmly rooted in Christianity. And there's many traditions connected with the various dates. For instance Pentecost Saturday (the day before Pentecost Sunday) is a very popular day to get married. Many families have reunions around Easter and special ales are released for Easter. And other things.

Strange. I thought those evangelicals were super religious. And how can somebody not know about things like advent and pentecost? Those are really well known dates after all. *mind blown*
Also to see whether I remember correctly from Christianity class (yes, that's a thing) in primary education and religion in high school then wasn't pentecost when the disciples of Christ got together and laid the groundwork for Christianity and essentially split from Judaism?
(And Christianity class is a politically hot potato. It forbids the teaching of any religion, but the state religion until confirmation and the far left wing really wants to change that. The far right is really against that change and most people don't care. It came to be in the early 1970s when it replaced the old religious classes which were actively missioning for Christianity. In religion in high school you have to spend considerable time on Christianity. And then you must take at least two other major religions. We did Islam and Judaism. And then we had more time and did Buddhism too. Ethics also has to be part of religion in high school.)

You're great too.

Thx wagon your danishness is wonderful to see

 

[Cliges]

Intelligent and happy about stuff.

Also "hos".

I...suppose that's a nice compliment.

Is this more drunk posting?

They go about it in their own way. Some of them might observe these things or not, but it's not typically at the forefront of their practice.

Thursday before Easter (the day before Good Friday; no idea what it's English name is)

Maundy Thursday.

Yes, though though some might make a case that Judaism itself underwent later changes consequent to the destruction of the Second Temple during the First Jewish War and the rise of Talmudism in the coming centuries, so that both sides split in different directions.

It’s Hearth’s Warming Eve in Equestria, and everyone is celebrating the magic of friendship that brought together the three pony tribes millennia ago. However, not all is well. Evil changelings have infiltrated Ponyville during the celebrations, taking the form of pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies! Even worse, every night they plan to drain the love of one innocent pony! All is not lost however, for Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, has created a spell to detect changelings in the night.

I have claimed my spot in Valhalla

And as I understood it he wanted to meet me to avoid loosing said little grip on reality.

Huh?

Unless you have some knowledge I'm not aware of, you wouldn't be the person I'd recommend to someone who is loosing their grip on reality. By implying that he would specifically want to meet you and that with you he would keep his grip, you have to either be professional at it or be very skilled.

Least bad feature? There's a Volvo parked in your family's yard.


The Wagonpost on the previous page made me really tired.

Just skip'em.

A better way of phrasing that would be to say that the late Cliges Sr once had a Volvo for going about the property itself and no one ever got around to doing something with it.

I need some relationship advice.

Someone on this forum just sent an unsolicited winky face (like so: ) to me in a private message. What does that mean? Do they want to hook up?

Will do, will update asap.

They wrote back "no homo".

Not sure how to interpret this. Do they want to hook up but keep it a one-time thing? Or is this a straight rejection?

I'm so confused.
