Ye man, I live like right cross the street from Algodeia, which you probably know or have heard of if you do come here on occasion and know of our mighty fine food. I'm not even a gigantic fish fan most of the time but you can't really say no when it's as amazing as most of the stuff we have here. But yeah, it's quiet asides all the kids that come and stay loud until like 5am in the park just behind here; then again I shouldn't really complain as it doesn't directly affect me, lolheadphones.
Yea if it's people you don't know or simply have no interest in you shouldn't really be forced to socialize just because it's the "nice" thing to do this time a'year. Either they feel motivated to keep in contact or they don't, and if they don't one is to assume they don't really fancy a get-together just because it's new year's or Christmas or what have you, but then again that's a bit of a grey area anyway so there's no real way to pragmatically discuss it.
What I had in mind mostly was the "need" some people feel to go out for fancy dinners and lunches and pay way more than they should, but then again it can also be argued that at least they're spending their money on our local economy and not elsewhere (which isn't necessarily completely true with all these franchisings going about). Same goes for random clubbing and VIP-esque réveillon passes that aren't cheap, surely enough. And even if you make food at home some of it even ends up going to waste which is a pretty terrible thing to happen, though I guess with this crisis thingamagig people are way more careful with that sort of stuff nowadays.
Hey! Watch your mouth you bad little guy person horrible did you miss the memo about loving and tolerating everybody? Oh no hang on wrong thread my bad.
