Merry Christmas HN

• EddieCPU 7y ago
  Yes, Christmas is the day when Christians everywhere gather together to celebrate the birthday of Santa Clause.
  • qorrect 7y ago
    And his brother the Easter Bunny, little known fact, both born on Christmas Day.
• OlivierLi 7y ago
  Joyeux Noël :D
  • EddieCPU 7y ago
    > Joyeux Noël :D Seeing as I was born on Christmas Day, I got only the one present, which I figured as cheating. My parents said the one present would have to do :]
    • BrandoElFollito 7y ago

  Happy Saturnalia! Remember to treat the help well, don't party too hard during the festivities, and respect the trees! Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and may whichever deity or demiurge you deem worthy of worship shower you and yours with blessings in the days to come! And 2020, give us a break. Please.

  Merry Christmas HN! Let us come together for the day, regardless of our intellectual stances and tribal identities. Let the Linux nerds break bread with the Mac hipsters. May the Haskell devs write bindings for JS libraries. And the VC dreamers shake the hands of the determined bootstrappers. Peace amongst nerds, for a single day. Merry Christmas.
  • giardini 7y ago
    randomsearch says> "Merry Christmas HN! Let us come together for the day, regardless of our intellectual stances and tribal identities."(1) The impeachment is over, The results are well known. The will of the people has clearly been shown. Let’s forget all our quarrels and show all our deeds, we'll give the President all the help that he needs. Let’s all get together let bitterness pass; I’ll hug your elephant, and you'll kiss my ass! (1)I'm pretty conservative really but I can laugh at myself. As a boy I first read this poem, or an approximation thereof, posted on my Democrat uncle's (physical) bulletin board only for my Republican father to stumble upon. It always has made me laugh heartily upon rereading. So to my Uncle, my Father, all Democrats, Republicans and all Others, a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy New Year, Kwanzaa, or whatever holiday bless you and may a good New Year lie ahead for you all!

  • daxorid 7y ago
    Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard of such a phenomenon. What aspect of the holidays is rough for some? edit: This is a legitimate question, in case it wasn't obvious. edit 2: Got it, no questions allowed. Apologies.
    • henkslaaf 7y ago
      People who lost someone, people who are separated from their loved ones, people who are introvert but must act sociable, people who are depressed but must act chipper or else be asked questions, people who are alone but see all other people getting together for parties, people that hate their families but cannot escape the obligatory gathering, people who are poor but feel pressure to give gifts and have a lavish meal. The list is endless.

  I'd like to take this occasion to thank Matt Mireles (mattmireles) for hosting a Thanksgiving gathering a few years ago when I was traveling solo in SF. It really makes a difference when you're with people on the holiday season. I hope I can pay it forward one day.

  In case you were curious what the fuss was all about, here's a short explanation of Christianity. From the Greek Platonic tradition [1], there was a belief in an ineffable Oneness that is the origin and nature of all things. Allegorically, this was treated as a person, like Zeus, but recognized to be fundamentally transcendental and ineffable pure — the One. The Logos was the emanation from the One; it was the son of god, so to speak, that crafted all material reality. Logos is typically translated as "word", like "in the beginning was the word", but that minimizes the concept of logos. Importantly, Jesus was understood to be the incarnation of the Logos in human form; "the word made flesh.". [2] That was the dominant philosophical idea in Christian theology until the year 400, when Pope Theophilus of Alexandria had to deal with rioting monks who demanded an anthropomorphic God. He ended up killing the 10,000 monks who believed in an incorporeal God. [3] So, enjoy your christmas: the celebration of the day when the logos became incarnate!

    Merry Christmas! During my first job, my boss introduced me to HN. I doubt I would've found it so soon otherwise, as the only other person that knew about it before I mentioned it is someone I only met this year. My first boss was a great guy to work with and I'm grateful he told me about it. Even though I learned a lot from him professionally, the impact of that one-time five-minute conversation about the site might have added up to more over the years.
