The woman who doesn’t come to your wedding because she has more important things to do, yet expects you to pay for half of her wedding and will upend the entire family unless she gets her way. She is usually supported by your mother-in-law who somehow always takes her side in every possible argument.
Your sister-in-law thinks she’s entitled to you paying for half her wedding yet she has the audacity to not even come to your wedding.

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.

The time preceding a major shitty phase in ones life. You don’t think much of it in the moment, but once you’re past it and you’ve entered the bad phase of life, the before times come back to haunt you, angry that you weren’t grateful for them. You get this intense feeling of despair, you’d do ANYTHING to go back to the before times. But that’s the thing, once they’re gone, you can only move forward.

The year I optimistically hope will end the shit show that we've had since 9/11. The most toxic generation of kids is graduating high school in 2020, so it should be getting better. I hope 2021 will start off a generation of peace and prosperity that future generations will cherish, just like us millennials cherish the 90's.

The treaty that was signed in 1920 which decided the fate of the now collapsing Ottoman Empire’s territories. It partitioned Anatolia between European colonial spheres of influence, newly created countries for ethnic minorities, and what remained of the fallen-from-glory Ottoman Empire. Was partially nullified by the Treaty of Lusanne later on, but generally succeeded in bringing down the Ottoman Empire and creating a modern and secular Turkish state.
The Treaty Of Sevres was the final treaty signed in regards to hostilities from the First World War, arguably bringing it to an end.
