I admit I'm a little confused right now because I don't see anything in common between Christmas and the Lunar New Year.(Except they all seem to be in winter.)

Yep. That's the joke. Long story cut short, people were sick so we had to wait... until Chinese New Year.

I have a burning question: what is your favourite gender neutral and informal greeting for a group of people?

Mine is "friends and foes" which can lead to some fun conversations, but I also think "sentient balls of stardust" is also adorable.

I'm posing a new amendment to the RRS, wherein I am moving to create a fourth Councillor term during the year by reducing term lengths from four months to three months. I feel this will help keep a Councillors from getting burned out, and keep the Regional Council, itself, more active. This proposal is currently in the drafting stage.

If anyone has any feedback on it, you can post it on our forum: https://forum.calref.ca/index.php?topic=234

I say y’all, people, or everyone. It’s boring but I don’t get any opportunities to say something funny or unique. I do love funky email sign offs though. Not in a professional context obviously, but my favorite is hakuna matata. Otherwise I just say thanks.

I love funky email sign offs. My favourite one is sending "Happy 4th of July" ascii art when I don't celebrate the 4th of July.

Bold of you to assume I greet groups of people.

But probably in an informal setting, ‘overgrown foetuses’ (foeti?). In a professional setting, ‘overgrown foetuses who are probably going to get me fired for speaking inappropriately in a professional setting’

I make myself laugh sometimes.

"Theydies and gentlethems" has to be my favourite for comedic usage, although I default to "y'all" because I be'ieve in its grammatical benefits

Theydies and gentlethems is funny as a full phrase, but I had a friend once who liked to say "ladies and theydies" and that specific iteration made me want to shrivel up into the ground.

Hello, this is Alski of TIBOE of 10000 Islands!

I recently saw a Frostland puppet spamming all over NS to approve the proposal. Honestly, their region should be banned because I found out that this is a plot to condemn you guys by launching a proposal using puppets. Also their region is filled with 8000+ puppets and openly expressing themselves as fascist. The Pacific Army should get over there and start occupying that region. I hope that the proposal will never reach quorum

I got a scary telegram that told me to say that tangerines are the best and also hail all tangerines and while I wholeheartedly do not feel like this is true because tangerines have annoying sticky strings, I'll contribute to this conversation that some people feel very positively about tangerines. I don't know what's going on with those people, but they do exist, apparently. And for reasons yet unknown to me, they needed me to convey this message to you.
