Bro I was born to Chinese parents too. I stopped seeing movies with my parents when I started going with my friends instead.

Idk what young people do these days, but in my day, aside from movies, we did things like:

• hang out at the mall
• ice skating
• laser tag
• get ice cream and walk around the pier
• bike riding
• board games (also LAN parties)
• hang out at the skate park (actually knowing how to skateboard is optional)

ETA bowling, but I don’t actually like it. It’s just that my friends went all the time so I did too.

The most recent movie I saw in theatres was Scream 7. It was a really good time, considering I generally prefer to watch movies at home. It’s an interesting experience being able to feed off the rest of the audiences emotions and reactions.

But at home I can go to the washroom whenever I want, I can announce to the room that

and I don’t have to sneak in snacks and drinks in an oversized purse while trying not to crinkle and clank.

Going to the movies was like a quintessential part of being a teen when I was growing up. And once we could drive, going to the drive-in was fun too. Load up your parents’ minivan with friends, chairs, and blankets, and go watch two or three movies back to back until the blankets are covered in dew at 2am. Replace “friends” with “partner”, and “watching movies” with “making out” as needed. Good times.

They are different tools, but fun fact, you can make curls or waves with a straightener depending on technique. A curling iron will only do curls.

This post always makes me smile and reminisce on my old '99 corolla with great fondness. I treated that thing like absolute shit and it’s probably still out there somewhere puttering around without a care in the world. It had almost 400k km on it when my parents donated it but it was in fine (if a bit rattling) condition.

It was succeeded by an '01 corolla which sadly is no longer with us due to a non-corolla driver plowing into its passenger side.

Hey man, happy lunar new year. Why don’t you make a habit of taking a walk in the park, since you felt good about it earlier? Try to do it regularly, it’s good for you to get out to a relaxing space. If you like dogs you should get a dog. It’ll make you get out even if you don’t want to, plus they’re adorable and give unconditional love.

I didn’t always get along with my mom growing up, but our relationship massively improved once I moved out. My sister butts heads with her way more than I ever did, and they’re much more similar people. I’m much more like my dad and we get along great. Can’t wait to see them this weekend. 🧋🧧🧨

My coworker once started a conversation by casually asking if I’d ever “done anything” with a cousin. Obviously the conversation ended with him revealing he’d fucked his cousin and me saying WTF progressively louder and louder for at least a minute. I work from home now.

I just don’t understand how this happened. Did no one else on the Australian team see her dance and be like ???

I saw the Australian guy’s dance and he at the very least knew what he was doing.

This is the best scary movie for people who don’t like scary movies.

We did ours early, simply because neither of us knew what to do for dinner the other day. We found this excellent Indian butcher that offered pre-marinated meats and it was amazing. Tandoori lamb chops and smoky chipotle chicken thighs 🤤

My husband sometimes refers to me as his ex girlfriend, and one time while out shopping I saw a shirt that said “best ex girlfriend”. I was so tempted to buy it but after some discussion, we decided it would only be funny to us and everyone else would just think I was a raging bitch.

As someone who types very fast, your technique sounds insane to me. It must really be something to behold in person when you’re in the groove.

Chinese soups of various kinds. Many of them are pretty brothy, which I guess isn’t what a lot of people are looking for in a soup, so they’re not super popular unless you’re used to them.

Some people whose first language doesn’t have gendered pronouns mix them up when they speak English.

I’m only sentimental about my childhood home, and my parents still live there so I can relive those fond memories whenever I want. The area around it has changed a lot though, and it makes me feel a bit wistful thinking of how it used to be. I guess this is how you realise you’re old.

No, but I’m an introvert like my dad. My sister and my mom do, they’re way more social. My closest cousin in age doesn’t talk to me, and I don’t talk to him, but we’re each other’s favourites and we’ve said as much in front of our other cousins.

Some of my aunts and uncles randomly showed up in my city and invited me out, so I showed them around a bit, and it was a nice time. I’m finding as I get older that I appreciate family more.

Ugly stick. 🇨🇦

Unfortunately, it means even less than Greedy Purple Turtle.

Gone Girl. I didn’t get very far because right off the hop I didn’t like her, so I certainly didn’t care why or how she went missing.
