I'd rather have a second Halloween than Valentine's Day! Replace the worst holiday with a copy of the best! :laugh:

Where does the assumption that it's for the singletons come from?

 

Do you complain that you're not a mother on mothers day? ;)

Hmm you are right, while I complain about mass consumption, I for one, welcome low prices when they happen for whatever reason  /doublestandards

No, but I have a mother that I can celebrate with on Mother's Day. Two godfathers I can celebrate on Father's Day (plus I myself am a godfather). On Halloween I can give out candy or go out with the kids in the family. On Independence Day I go to fireworks. There's a way I can enjoy pretty much every significant holiday, even if it's just sleeping in. But on V-Day the emphasis is on being in a relationship, a status I've rarely had.

 

And I'm far from the only person, of either gender, who feels this way.

 

So yeah, V-Day is not only annoying, it leaves me depressed by focusing a blazing spotlight on my lack of relationship. If I had to choose a holiday to excise from the calendar, I'd remove Valentine's Day, with no regret whatsoever.

Except you don't just ignore it, you indulge in self-pity it seems.

 

Here's a hint: If you're not part of the day - then it's just not for you.  Not everything is about you and that's fine.  Get over it.

my brother has being with his wife for 10 years and they never celebrated valentines day.    it is not just single people who think the holiday is way too commercial.

I've been with my wife for over 15 years, and she hates flowers, so all she ever cared to have were chocolates! (obviously!)

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
