Someone who is descended from more than one race. All people are to some extent (5-10%) but this refers to people who aren’t more than 75% descended from a single race. Hispanic and Latino people are all descended of mixed Amerindian, African, and European ancestors.
Some multiracial terms
Mulatto: Mix of black and white (considered offensive by some)
Mestizo: A Hispanic person of mixed Native American and European blood
Métis: A non Hispanic person of mixed Native American and European blood
Hapa: A person of mixed Asian and European blood
Zambo: A person of mixed African and Native American blood
Pardo: Someone of mixed African, Native American, and European blood
Euronesian: someone of mixed European and Pacific Islander blood

Everyone says, but very few actually do.
It's basically a polite way of telling someone that what they're going through sucks but it's not your problem
Now, if you ACTUALLY keep the person in your thoughts and prayers, AND make at least some effort to help them, then you're using this phrase with meaning. But most people use this phrase to politely say they don't give a damn about what you're going through.
The Correct Usage:
Jake: My Mom died.
Dan: Thoughts and Prayers for you guys
Jake: Dude is that really all you can give me?
Dan: No, I actually mean it, we can talk about it whenever you want and I'm always here for you. I had something similar happen a while ago.
Wrong Usage
Jake: My Mom Died
Dan: Thoughts and Prayers
Jake: Is that all you've got to help?
Dan: Yeah, I'm going through some tough crap too, my Instagram account got locked
The Minecraft song that, for some reason, gives me an incredible feeling of Nostalgia to the “before time”, AKA, the time before 2020 and everything going stupidly wrong. I remember the days when I could actually enjoy a normal life. How I wish I enjoyed it more. Now we got this shit. Fuck 2020.
Mice on Venus is by far my favorite Minecraft song.
Someone who doesn't understand how vaccines work and refuse to educate themselves.
Vaxidiot #1: VACCINATIONS SECRETLY INJECT YOU WITH AUTISM
Smart Person: No, Vaxidiot, autism involves a chemical imbalance in the brain, it is not an injectable disease
Vaxidiot #2: I'M SO SCARED TO CATCH COVID IM GONNA LOCK MYSELF IN THE CLOSET AND CRY
Smart Person: But didn't you get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Vaxidiot #2: Yes but I'M SCARED AHHH
Smart Person: Calm yourself, you're vaccinated and protected, do you seriously not understand how vaccines work?
Proof that hell on earth exists
In-laws are a nasty side effect of marriage
One who lets sensitivity, going with the crowd, and utopian thinking get in the way of common sense. Democrats are the worst of two evils. They believe in socialism, cracking down on free speech with hate speech laws, recognizing the ridiculous and unscientific concept of third genders, and refuse to recognize that unborn children are still children
A democrat is someone who values what other democrats say more than the truth.
When a prisoner is sentenced to spend the rest of their life in prison. A very useless sentence, because once a prisoner gets it, they might as well have the death penalty. Either way they're going to die in prison. There are three types of life sentences.
Life With Parole:
When the prisoner gets sentenced to life, but is eligible for parole release after a certain number of years (usually 25 years). This is the most common sentence, as it ensures the prisoner will have an incentive to behave in prison, and it allows them back into society on strict monitoring. It's not a guarantee, to earn parole, you must behave very well in prison and show that you're worthy of being released.
Life Without Parole:
Life Imprisonment with no parole eligibility. If you get this, you're spending the rest of your days behind bars no matter what, unless you get the governor of your state to grant you clemency. This is hard to do, and the fact that you're likely a murderer isn't going to earn you much sympathy. But, if you truly can convince the governor you've changed, it might be worth a shot.
Practical Life Sentence
Any sentence that is longer than the prisoner will likely live. Generally, sentences higher than 75 years in prison fit this category, as even a young adult likely won't live to see their release date. These are handed out usually when a person has many crimes stacked against them, with no single one worthy of a life sentence, but adding up to like 100 years.
Two US states have Abolished Life Imprisonment.
Alaska, which still hands out the practical life sentence of 99 years in prison
Connecticut, which has lowered its maximum prison term from life to 25 years.
Also, some states have abolished life without parole, but still hand out life sentences with parole eligibility. These are:
Rhode Island
New York
Illinois
Washington
