    Yes. I mean, just because your stupid neighbour celebrates their birthday, it doesn’t mean you would stop celebrating your birthday just to be different.

        How are they pointless if they bring people joy? I know there are exceptions but I’m pretty sure people generally really like birthdays…

              Well, maybe he means that you should celebrate actual achievements instead of dates that just happen every year. The YouTube video he linked didn’t tell to completely stop celebrating birthdays. Just limit it to a total of 20 birthdays for most people (you get more if you live really old).

                What if you’re working the same 9-5 job five days a week and it pays you well and you’re happy yet you don’t have any new achievements

            Have we really gotten to the point of being demeaning to people simply because they celebrate their fucking birthday?
