It was actually yesterday, funnily enough.

Did you unupvote yourself?

EDIT: We've both been upvoted. It's ruined!

I did indeed. Unlike Reddit, unupvoting myself on Lemmy actually seems to stick, which I'm rather happy about.

OP is Canadian and we celebrate in October. And October Thanksgiving makes the most sense because we actually do have pumpkins and squash and harvest and all that happening, and guarantees you eight long weeks before seeing your conservative relatives at Christmas. I don't know how the Americans stomach if at the end of November.

You guys have it on a Monday. That's strange and scary to us.

Whatever. We get two days off. Thursday and Friday. We win the long weekend war. You win... having national healthcare and promoting equality? Fuck.
