What should MTG give up for Lent?

She claims to be a good Christian. Lent started last week with Ash Wednesday. It is customary for Christians to give up something for Lent because it is a period for self reflection, self sacrifice, and spiritual growth.

It used to be that only Roman Catholics gave up something for Lent, but Protestant denominations have also started doing this, including getting ashes on Ash Wednesday.

So, what should MTG give up?

I suggest she give up harassing and screaming at people whose politics are different from hers. Think she could last from now until Easter without harassing people?
