    Never have I ever been to a modern sporting event. Football, soccer (or other football to some of you folks), hockey, baseball, whatever.

    I’ve been to things which some would argue are sports like jousting, but never a basic sport event.

    Never have I ever eaten a hamburger/cheeseburger/steak

    I purposely don’t because it’s an interesting talking point for breaking ice.

    Never have I ever lived alone. Only with my family, then on the street (less alone than you might imagine) then with friends, then with lots of friends, then a few friends, and then my own family.

    Damn, I scrolled through comments upvoting interesting comments and only after that did I find out that I was supposed to use downvotes as a part of the game. And there I was confused why there’s ao much downvotes. Lol

    Never have I ever read the rules of this game.

    I’ve never had a close family member or friend die. I have siblings, they have families. Both my grandparents on one side are alive, the other two died when I was an infant. I have dozens of cousins that are all in good health. Closest thing was my spouse’s grandpa. I’ve been phenominally lucky.

      Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

      Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

      But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

        That’s awful :( I genuinely can’t imagine how painful that is.

        I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been, and that it’s only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I’m going out to visit soon. I tell myself “Someday in the near future, I’ll wish I could come back to today.”

      Same here, it would be impossible since middle schools don’t exist where I’m from

        Yeah I wasn’t sure how to word it because I know that different places have different naming mechanisms. But from 6-18 years old I was homeschooled. There was a co-op or two where I technically did classes with others, and I did a year of Cyber school before it was cool but most of my education came from me self-teaching from textbooks and “curriculum”.

        In the first grades when teachers asked my class to order words based on the first letter, i either managed to figure out which letters came sooner in the order based on previous answers, guessed randomly or got lucky and didnt get chosen(its also been a while since then and i dont remember, i only remember that once that i was hoping i wouldnt be picked while looking at the previous exercises and planning out what random guesses i would say for the order i wasnt sure about)

        After that, the only other time i needed to know the order of the alphabet was for an IQ test which was required to be diagnosed with Aspenger Syndrome, where i just randomly guessed

        I also managed to not learn left/right for years, which caused more problems, but i managed to learn it thanks to the english political compass(every time i need to know which direction is left/right, i have to think of an image of the political compass to figure out which direction is right, translate that in my native language, check if the direction i needed was right and if not, i know its the opposite direction. I also dont know how to directly translate between left in both languages, but knowing that its the opposite right. I know right because of its second meaning that is present in both languages

          Left and right I have to think about, but North, South, East and West I can always find. I learned to read before learning the alphabet, but learned it with the song.

          That’s fascinating how you learned all the letters but never put them into an ordinal system. Definitely presents an alternate thinking mechanism than I think most people use. Must have been very tough on you in school as most schools don’t handle people who think differently very well.

          The left/right thing is probably much more common. I think it’s interesting how you use the political compass as your visual reference. I for a long time couldn’t remember which political party was left or right, but found I was very good at just ‘knowing’ left and right, as well as the cardinal directions n/s/e/w. My friend who was horrible at telling left from right would hold up both hands and extend his index and thumb. Whichever hand formed an “L” was his left hand and he used that all the time.

              I’d say most people would learn the alphabet and the order together. The order (and song) is a helpful mnemonic to learn the letters faster.

        One of the last things my dad said to me before he died was I’m proud of you son. He made a point to say it at least once a year just to make sure that I knew.

      I’m not your dad, but I’m proud of you. The absolute least I know about you is you don’t mind admitting pain, so I’m proud of you. 🫂
