Conservative parent is sad his daughters aren't coming for thanksgiving after voting for Trump

It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics

It's really not. Politics determine your opinions and intentions regarding human rights and its violations. If my dad votes for Robodolf Mechahitler, he's not my dad anymore. Someone voting for Trump would likely betray their own daughter when Gilead rises. If they wouldn't, their vote is a contradiction to their character. I wouldn't take something like this lightly.

Players aged 15 to 21 make up the largest group of Minecraft’s player base at 43%. 

The remaining 21% consists of players between 22 to 30 years old, and 20.59% are users aged 61 to 80. 

You might be thinking of demographics from like 10 years ago, but those kids grew up dude. Kids are not the primary demographic.

Let your eyeballs pop out of your head, your tongue unfurl onto the floor, your heart beat through your chest and spring back inside, all while either howling, whistling, or going with the classic "YEAH, BABY!"

This has worked for me literally every single time.

It's an uncanny irony to me when I hear something like "not everything has to be about race" when, at least from the perspective of a non-white, everything in society really does have an unavoidable racial asterisk that we really wish wasn't there. Racism is a fixed worldwide phenomenon that we have no choice but to acknowledge at this point. It impacts everything.
