White people's Thanksgiving food is always hilarious. The one time I went to my wife's family for Thanksgiving it was like a damn National Geographic show, but instead of showing native tribes cameras and lighters for the first time, I was trying to explain why barely boiled french style green beans with no seasoning is not appropriate food to serve to human beings.
My cousin’s wife is from Zimabwe and his parents host our family Thanksgiving. One year, we were able to share our family feast (~40 people) with a big part of the local Zimbabwean community (which was very cool). But, some of my hippy-dippy girl cousins (hs and college) decided to dress like pilgrims (UNRELATED to Zimbabweans showing up). They wore bonnets (from their old American Girl dolls or something).

So long story short, some Zimbabweans in the Greater Cincinnati Area now believe that some family attend Thanksgiving in “Traditonal Dress.”

Jamal Murray sucks and is a selfish player. Jokic gonna murder his *** by NYE - BOOK IT.

China is functionally useless 99.9% of the time
but I absolutely worship. Explaining it to my 4YO girl was pretty neat. She's excited to inherit one day. My grandma's China cabinet and church pew are two things I'll put major cash into restoring and keeping current. I never got to meet her but I think of her every time I get something formal out to host. Mom still cries looking at it.

Bbdk is right re: dressing. Huge risk/reward. Our FARM TO TABLE old WKY family recipe just makes **** right #blessed. Put squash casserole in that same vein.

I hate cold weather but LOVE outerwear. Go figure.

Black people are mad that Fortnite stolt the "milly rock" dance, fyi, per local news. They had a lawyer on to explain nobody owns a dance. The creator of the "milly rock" was upset.

That Fortnite is a garbage *** game. Nintendo 64 had better games. All this great technology and kids are playing that trash. Sad.

If anyone takes the internet more seriously than Chase, I would like to meet them.

Actually, no I wouldn't, that person would then somehow be worse than Chase. Get a grip, Beaver Dam

I mean this is completely a dirty move, but the honk holding his shooting form for so long almost deserves an ***-whooping.

Well, maybe it's just that you're too stupid to understand hyperbole/joking? Idk, just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Add dk to the list of maroons.

- Not black, love Thanksgiving. Just to be clear. Just don't like really white people items for Thanksgiving. Starches, fats, and gravies are all that's necessary. If you're bringing out a cranberry kale salad or some other such nonsense then I don't like that Thanksgiving.

Well when 99% of your posts are garbage it’s tough to tell if you’re joking or not. Either way, certainly feels as though you’re taking the internet pretty seriously if you can’t handle a little ribbing.

Maybe try dying in a fire before you post next time.

It wasn't ribbing, you honestly thought I told off my in laws for making terrible sides. Which makes you an idiot. Just wanted to clear it up a little bit, was all.

If we start a conversation about how to grow your facial hair in order to look like an early 2000s pedophile, I'll loop you back in.

Thanksgiving randoms:
  • Mac n' Cheese is a trash dish; too filling and usually cold by the time it is served, plus it's typically already served at the other family occasions throughout the year.
  • Disposable plates are fine only if you are serving more than 12 adults, which is the typically how many people your standard China set will serve anyway.
  • Wine selection is often overlooked; a dry dry Riesling Gewurztraminer, while otherwise something I'd pass on, is delicious with turkey. But whatever varietal you choose, spend a buck or two for the bottles served with the dinner. Save the low-budget stuff for before or after dinner is served.
  • Going with a rolled-stuffed turkey breast (cranberry's, walnuts, herbs, spices) in addition to the regular bird. With proper presentation, I feel it adds a sophisticated look to the serving table, and it's a nice change of pace to the regular sliced, baked turkey.
  • Fried turkeys aren't worth the fire risk / expense of buying a turkey fryer for the one time a year you use it.
  • Dress it up a little; I hate it when some of the in-law cousins roll in with untucked shirts and tennis shoes. Jeans are fine, but dress shoes and a sweater with collared shirts are a good Thanksgiving look.
  • 50- to 60-something women do the dishes. Man of the house does the turkey carving. 20- to 30-something men do all the hauling tables and chairs from the basement. Everybody over 25 brings a dish / desert / beer / etc.

Going with the personal insults? :joy:

You definitely don’t take the internet too seriously. Not at all.

Correct. Personal insults in GYERO are only saved for when something is very serious. They rarely ever happen at all, tbh.

I forgot the most important one of all: Thanksgiving dinner should be served no earlier than 4 PM, and preferably 5:30.
No one is taking anything you say about thanksgiving serious after you threw mac n cheese under the bus. Maybe hold off until Christmas dinner with the next controversial food take
