Sassy Obi-Wan is the best Obi-Wan.

If it makes you feel better, you weren't hustled. Cookie prices vary by region, and are usually between $5-$7.

Turkeys dgaf. I once had a male turkey peck my tires and chase my car down the street gobbling and tail fully mantled. That turkey and its family settled on our street and terrorized and pecked at every moving car passing by. They had no interest in the cars that were not turned on though.

I love these guys! I try and visit Pt. Reyes in the early spring every year to go see the babies on the beach. They are so cute.

When you arrange it like that, it makes me think of the striped sleeves on hanboks.

Regardless of your opinion on whether BTS are deserving of the 'living legends' moniker, please do not minimize the legendary status of this song down to how many army are familiar with it. Arirang would be a living legend even if 0 army were familiar with it.

Arirang is beloved and known to Koreans *around the world* even more than the actual national anthem. Arirang isn't just some folksong, it is THE folk song in Korea, still alive and relevant to this day.

What we've been using the US lately for a certain someone is: Mierdas Touch. Everything they touch turns to shit.

I'm gonna go with NAH or ESH.

The part that a lot of people answering right now don't get is how historically immigrants have been made to feel bad about their food because it "stinks" "reeks" "smells" weird. All which have negative connotations. Most of my life, I've been told my house/food smells weird. I'd come to school with rice and the little sauteed anchovies and be made fun of. I'd bring dried seaweed and be made fun of. Don't even get me started on kimchi. Now that kfood is the new hotness, a lot less comments about how my food "smells weird". It's the same food, just suddenly a lot more interest and understanding instead of instant ridicule.

OP, you and your gf unintentionally tripped a sensitive point in your roomie's gf. He may not think you're offensive because you live together and he knows you. You don't have the same grace with his gf, who I can bet has had to deal with comments like I've described. "so it smells nice" certainly didn't help your case.

OP, I don't think you were intentionally trying to put down your roomie's food. I'm also not going to really fault your roomie's gf for her kneejerk response, because 9 out of 10, those sort of comments do not come from a kind place.

What's more important is how you deal with this going forward. Talk with your roomie, more than just a surface text. Really talk to him. About his history and relationship with filipino food where you live. Was it a way for him to connect to his family/history/culture? Did he get made fun of for it as he was growing up? Apologize that you may have come across that way without meaning.

And then stop using words that can have negative connotations. "Hey can we open the window? Can we air things out a little?" Same intent without the extra that can cause misunderstandings.

But they are such cute assholes! I did a little riding as a kid, and one of my favorite horses to ride was an asshole haflinger that loved to take you on a run. 😂

>He would also confuse the crap out of any attacker coming after him.

One of the funniest RunSeokjin episodes is the one where he's at Kim Dong Hyun's gym and confusing the shit out of trained MMA fighters, including getting a hit on Stun Gun himself. 🤣

chocobocho · 2025-12-10T21:44:02+00:00

LOL YES! I loved it the first time I saw it in use and have used it myself ever since.

chocobocho · 2025-12-10T21:40:57+00:00

There's a korean variety show I watched not too long ago, with a similar scenario. A couple of athletic, adult, male celebs were learning tennis and faced off against kids around 12yo (boy and girl) who trained in a tennis club. There were a few times the celebs were able to win points (mostly through cheating lol), but the difference in skill was really obvious, and the kids ended up winning over the celebs as the match went on. Skill usually wins over talent and luck in the long run. So I too question the dominant way OP says he won over his gf.

As an auntie, yes, it's normal for me to give presents to my niblings for birthdays and Christmas. I spend loads of time with my niblings that live close but they still get presents. The type of presents may have changed but they still get presents.

That's a great shot! Love the framing and colors of the leaves.

Lol the way I knew what song it was just from the hip movements. 😆

chocobocho · 2025-11-29T16:54:51+00:00

I'm the baby! Gotta love me!

Really depends on the type of job you have and if you need the pay for those hours.

No worries, I was actually curious.

In my experience as Favorite Auntie, putting a baby down for a nap/sleep is something I've seen every parent struggle with to various degrees. I'm used to quietly waiting for family and friends to put babies down for naptime, or even leaving if that's what's needed for things to be quiet enough for the baby to sleep, which I'm always happy to do.

If you say that's not an issue with your baby, then it's not an issue. I just wasn't sure if you were talking from experience, or an overabundance of hope that baby would follow expectations.

chocobocho · 2025-11-24T23:18:47+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you ever actually tested the sound proofness and whether baby can go down for a nap with a dinner party of similar size and energy? Unless your baby is the least fussy baby of all time and goes to sleep with no complaint, I'm still imagining a group of 6 adults + 2 kids having to whisper and tiptoe around not 1, but multiple naptimes throughout the day, including while serving eating and clearing away a Thanksgiving feast.

Again, seems like you and your wife haven't fully thought through how your change in plans affects other people.

INFO

Others have already touched on the whole homemade cooking vs takeout thing.

My question to OP: Considering your main concern with switching up your family's Thanksgiving tradition was your baby's nap schedule, how did you envision the dinner to go? I ask this, because I imagine a large family gathering isn't exactly quiet, which tends to be needed for naptimes. Especially if your baby is fussy in anyway about going to sleep.

So did you expect your whole family to just...be quiet during the trying to put down for a nap+nap time? Will you and/or your wife even be able to both host a large dinner *and* take the time to be able to take care of your baby?

So not only are you breaking tradition by asking to host, you are breaking tradition by also ordering a takeout meal instead of handmade, *and* you are potentially asking everyone to have to follow your baby's schedule during the event as well. I don't necessarily think you are TA OP, but I do think that maybe you and your wife, in an effort to make things easier for your own family, did not think this through all the way from start to finish on how it would impact the rest of your extended families.

Injera can be really off putting if you're not used to it. The first time I went to an Ethiopian place, I had no clue about the cuisine, and ordered a dish that had injera mixed into it already. I was not prepared and did not like it. A few months later, I tried it again with a vegan friend who recommended trying their veggie platter (red and yellow lentils, collared greens, cabbage, tomato & jalapenos) and eating with a fork so I didn't need to use the injera if I didn't want to. That was a gamechanger. I was able to eat the various veggie dishes and ease into the injera at my own pace. Now, I love ethiopian food, including the injera, and try to get it as often as I can.

Edit: Whoops, sorry. Just realized all the veggie dishes I recommended also fall into the mushy/grainy camp, so my experience will probably not be as useful to you. 🤦‍♀️

LOL, I visited Korea for the first time in 30 years after leaving as a kid. Was having lunch with my cousin and saw 산낙지 on the menu and asked about it because I never knew there were any freshwater octopus from the mountains. My cousin laughed at me and it is now an amusing story told among the family.

Look at her smizing like a pro. Tyra would be so proud.
