    Well it's not like anyone has concrete reasons for celebrating Halloween, and St. Patrick's Day is just an excuse to get drunk.

    At least Hallowe'en has some calendar significance: It's the midpoint between the equinox and the solstice.

    On that note, I wonder why we don't celebrate some form Lughnasadh or Imbolc anymore...

    Although you kinda do if you live here.
    Both of those are kind of foreign to my culture, but we *do* celebrate a harvest festival annually.

    i guess Thanksgiving is in some ways similar, although it's later in the year?

    I mean that we kind of celebrate Candlemas in Pennsylvania, in our own special way.

    I think the Mennonites and the like also celebrate Lammas, which is basically Anglo-German Lughnasadh, but that's pretty niche. Hallowe'en and May Day are the only two widely celebrated ancient mid-season fertility festivals that I can think of.

    oh, Groundhog Day

    somehow i forgot that was an actual thing
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    but no i meant over here we do celebrate a harvest festival, which is literally just called Harvest Festival

    Yeah. Punxsutawney Phil is our version of pardoning the turkey, really. And keeping away the accursed winterdemons with our hexing.

    You need something to counteract kids burning leaves as tributes to them in order to ensure snow days.

    I can't think of any weird Ohio holiday traditions off the top of my head

    Except that Columbus celebrates the Fourth of July on July 3rd and has trick-or-treat, which we call beggars night, one or two days before Halloween, driving Naney crazy.

    When I was in fifth grade I got my English class to bow before a sacred snowflake I had inscribed on the chalkboard in order to beseech said awful snow demons. The teacher was highly amused.

    Spoiler: HH will have HTTPS support soon, where by "soon" I mean "when Lee gets some free time to set it up"

    I wish my computer would boot up faster

    What do you mean by HTTPS support?

    What do you mean by HTTPS support?

    Until now, we didn't have an SSL certificate, so you're only able to view the site unencrypted.

    Lee got approved for the letsencrypt.org beta, so once he gets a few things set up, you'll be able to view the site over a secure connection.

    Ohhhh!

    kill living beings
    not so much "unencrypted" as "unsigned"

    so you don't technically know you're on HH. you could be posting on a shadow forum set up by Belgian hackers, on which they are posing as your friends and attempting to seduce you in character to get your credit card numbers.

    but that will be fixed.
