    I’m gonna do the “please take one” bowl this year and pretend I’m not home. I’ll start with an empty bowl, so the kids will think that some asshole came before them and took all the candy.

      Lucky, nobody trick or treats at my neighborhood. I set up bowl with cool flickering lantern lights and decorations, and not a single trick or treater came by :( I only know because I had a doorbell camera set up and all I saw was a group of kids who were presumably walking back home from the other neighborhoods, and they were all just laughing at the music I had playing on loop (spooky scary skeletons) and man, it hurt me so much that I never celebrated since.

      I was told they all do Trunk or Treating or go to the rich neighborhoods nowadays. It really is depressing Halloween isn’t as big as when I grew up. I dont understand it. As a kid we’d go to every neighborhood to maximize our candy profits. I just miss it :(

    But the Razorblades!

    It’s amazing how our childrens safety is entirely dependent on buying individually wrapped candies mass produced by a major corporation. Probably just a coincidence.

    Ready for the war on Christmas this year? I’m sure with an extra dose of scary Muslims. I heard the Muslim brotherhood is trying to trans your kids and also oppress woman, but also want them to have as many abortions as possible.

    Sorry. The candy prices get me ranting about capitalism and rascism. They are unfortunately related.

      … ok I know you’re joking, but do Muslims like or respect trans people? All the ones I know have been homophobic for sure and the few I know who I’ve talked to about trans people seem to be the same there. Like they’ll be nice to people’s faces every time and a few even say they “think people should be allowed to be gay,” until you bring up gay marriage which of course is “between a man and a woman” (and in the case of the literal people I’m thinking of, still arranged marriages for their kids in 2026, in America) or some nonsense because let’s be real they’re Book III of the Abrahamic trilogy so they believe a lot of the same things as the one Abrahamic religion we’re allowed to criticize freely.
