I was fighting back by 13 lol. Can't hit me with items if I break said items.

I can barely remember it now but I'm pretty sure I punched my dad in the face one time when he was taunting me about my balled up fists.

I somehow had both an atypical and typical asian childhood.

In communist russia grandma is always telling you to eat food and giving you food, even after telling grandma you dont want food, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times within the span of a hour.

Then my mom would also constantly ask me if i want to eat, then give food without me wanting any / telling her im not hungry

When i was like 16 or 17, i think she asked me like 4 times in the span of an hour if i wanted to eat, and each time i told her i dont want to eat anything.

So what does she do? She makes chicken and gives me a bowl.

I took the bowl and furiously whipped the entire bowl of chicken across the kitchen. It was little baghdad, pieces of chicken everywhere. (Did not throw the actual bowl)

She looked at me, stunned, then stormed off crying, and did not talk to me for 2 weeks for the first time in my life.

Im laughing writing this

Did it work? Yup. She never asked twice, ever again.

Just had this conversation at work with a Caucasian co worker. He was beat with a wooden spoon, we told him about feather dusters.

He was confused about it. "But they're so fluffy."

"You're holding it the wrong way around," we told him. I was in my teens before I knew what the english words were for the feather duster, how they were typically used, and which end other people held them.

Did anyone enter the FIFA lottery for a chance to purchase tickets and have won? I haven't heard anything since the deadline to enter.

I'm convinced that unless you are paying big $$$ for the tickets (or that right to buy garbage), your chances of scoring some tickets for the local games is really about as good as winning the lottery.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the CanadaRed program expects a 1% chance of winning a ticket at the free tier, 3 - 5% at the $50 paid tier, and something higher still for the $150 tier?

Paying $150 just for the chance to buy a ticket? Fxxk that.

Same I knew nobody that won. Not getting my hopes up of getting anything on later chances. My only hope and a wishful one at that is we draw a shitty ass game at BC Place where people try to dump and I can get reasonably priced tickets on the secondary market of the sake of saying I went to the world cup. Its more for my son, he loves soccer and while I've always been disgusted at watching it either live or on TV I've taken him to quite a few games the last 2 years and we even went to one on our Japan trip recently which was the craziest game we've experienced atoposhere wise. So I've grown in my tolerance to watch and it would check off another memory we get to share.
