some family members are blessing god for thanksgiving, while i'm thanking china for being the only major country on earth that doesn't submit to and isn't influenced by any religious ideology, nor count on the religious base for the construction of political legitimacy and popularity

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.

Set clear boundaries and expectations before the holiday. Sometimes people just don't know what topics are on or off limits, and most of the time, the people who love you probably don't want to make you anxious, sad, or angry during the few times they get to see you per year.

That's a good idea. This year I'm only discussing the Taliban owning us in a war.

You gotta find something everybody can have a light laugh at, like my family is in NY so I'll probably say "did you all remember to vote for CUOMO??" because he wasn't on the ballot, because of sex crimes, so everyone will know I'm just kidding

I knew some folks that had leftist parents, grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere in the olympic peninsula and raised by hardcore wobblies. The hustle and bustle of the big city wasn't for them and now they live on a remote island in southern Alaska

Thanksgiving or turkey day as I like to call it is just around the corner. I thought it'd be good to get a thread going where we can all share advice for arguing with our family members.

Every time someone disagrees with you strip off an item of clothing. Every time. Once naked if they continue to argue with you proceed to stand up and loudly jerk off into their food. Really use your lungs with the grunting. Accuse them of being close minded and immature. If they either leave or bodily throw you outside then proudly exclaim your victory and intellectual superiority.

does anyone have parents/family who are very bad at cooking but insist on cooking anyway and nobody has the heart to tell them? my family has always been good at cooking food but it's such a common media trope I wonder how often it actually happens with real people. that seems worse than any politics poo poo.

It's very common because most people's cooking sucks rear end and it's a social taboo to say anything negative. So everyone is like "Oh this is sooooo good Karen hahaha. I didn't know you were a chef hahahah."

the rule is if you cook something really good and get compliments you can Start poo poo

Alternatively host Thanksgiving and cook for everyone. That way if anyone says anything you don’t like you can just take their plate of food away.
