First off, for those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday, please accept our best wishes for a safe and happy holiday. For those who are struggling themselves (or who have friends or family who are), please accept our sincere and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

For those who are not in the US, please be aware that Thursday is a national holiday. Further, it is traditional for most people, where possible, to also take off Friday, too. This allows for an extended period of time: Thursday through Sunday, inclusive.

Our editorial staff has been happy to provide stories for the community's discussion. There is much that happens behind the scenes. I am taking this opportunity to publicly thank all of them for their hard work and their sacrifices of time and energy.

I am encouraging the editorial staff to take a break during this holiday period. Therefore, we will be on a reduced, weekend schedule from Thursday through Sunday (UTC), inclusive. We will continue to check in during this period... we thank you in advance for continuing to send in your story submissions.

Again, please accept our genuine best wishes for a safe and happy holiday!

    > Scandinavia military spending does not abide by NATO agreements. That's a treaty violation.

    Sheesh. Given that the vast majority of Scandinavia isn't even in fucking NATO, of course they don't abide by NATO agreements, and there's no treaty to violate.

    Dear Americans, please learn some geography before making comments about other parts of the world. Clue: if you can't point to it on a map, you have no right to be even discussing it.

    > The left has put the USA on a path ...

    Thank you for confirming the "more rightwing ~ more stupid" stereotype, you may have wanted to annoy your so-called "left" (which aren't - learn some political history too), but in so doing, you've virtually patted them on the back by letting them feel more clever than you.

    That's an impossible standard. You do realize that many 'Muricans can't even find 'Murica on a map? If you spent an hour or two, helping the average American to find his way around on a globe, you would totally fuck him up by removing the globe from it's bracket, and reinserting the globe upside down. :^|

      If my test would shut ignorant Americans up *completely*, then it's even more efficacious than I first thought.
