Topic: Happy Thanksgiving!
So here in America we do this thing where we set aside a day to pretend we're not slavering consumers always wanting more MORE MORE. It lasts exactly one day before we immediately turn every retail outlet into Thunderdome trying to snag up shit we don't need because it's on sale.
Anyway, on this day we're encouraged to express our gratitude for the good things in our life, and I wanted to take the opportunity to be thankful for you guys, the DIF community. I've been around the internet block a few times and been a member of a number of online communities, and this one is really something special.
It's fun, welcoming, thought-provoking, and respectful, able to have disagreements, even strong ones, without flaming -- with a small handful of exceptions over the years in which, it should be noted, the common factor was me. The fact our "unpopular opinions" thread devolved into gifs rather than flames honestly says something to me about the community we have here. I'm proud to be a part of it and glad that all of you are, too.
