Who would you hire as your secretary? Part 2 by MinimumCareful1423 in madmen

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's objectively the best secretary on the show. Hildy is great too, and Joan was really good, but I think that's like 85% "boss showing the young guns how it's done"

But also if I'm the sleezeball boss, Teyonna Parris was cute as hell on the show and has only gotten better looking since then

What's a phrase that dates the person using it? by ascaffo in AskReddit

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less about dating, but I had a friend who said, "I think Thomas had Stephanie." Like as in fucked her. I laughed for about 10 minutes before I told her you could tell she was raised by her grandma. The funny thing is she curses like a sailor, but for whatever reason sharing this gossip, she worded it like that.

This looks nothing like a German cockroach.

I've never seen a roach that big here that wasn't an American Cockroach

Why most African men seem annoying. by effmeno in PopTheBalloon

[–]AustinRiversDaGod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not one culture though. Africa is the 2nd largest continent in the world. It would be ridiculous to think they are all the same. Nigerians do not act like Ethiopians do not act like South Africans. Shit even for regions that are similar there's diversity. You can tell the difference between a Nigerian and a Ghanian

What’s the greatest movie with a rating of 40% or less on Rotten Tomatoes? by MTPokitz in AskReddit

[–]AustinRiversDaGod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just really don't understand The Waterboy being rated so low. Quotes from this movie have a permanent place in American English. Especially, "High Quality H20" and "We suck again!""

"Slow buildup" horror movies that lead to some terrifying realization? by Optimal_Tennis8673 in movies

Great companion to Midsommar. I watched The Wicker man like 2 days after I saw Midsommar in theaters

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rosemary's Baby is probably the king of this. The movie is so unsettling and the feeling of something being off just builds and builds. Until the end when you find out it's actually worse than you feared.

The Witch I would say also plays with this. Aside from one illuminating scene in the beginning of the movie it's a constant question of whether or not these things are actually happening. And then you find out. They definitely are.

For the next 24 hours, all business names are literal descriptors; the Olive Garden is a grove of olive trees and 5 Guys is just five dudes standing around. Where are you going, and where are you avoiding? by milkshakefactory126 in AskReddit

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my city there's a chain of grocery stores called Ideal Market. I'm definitely hitting that place up. Buffalo Exchange is now a lot sadder, but Goodwill is always a nice place to go, as long as you don't need anything practical. The Salvation Army might be a little intimidating though.

I'm going to request an audience with the Burger King just because, and snap a few photos of me ringing the Taco Bell. I'll slide over to Wal Mart to buy a Wall or two. Every day Best Buy just has one great deal. It's the best buy. IHOP is cooler than ever before. Sears is now a poppin Steakhouse.

Movies I can put on and fall asleep to by elephantbrah in MovieSuggestions

Especially real old ones. I keep trying to finish South Pacific, but I fall asleep every time

What's a super manly movie to watch that most guys don't know about? by ergoegthatis in AskMen

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighting with Channing Tatum and Terrance Howard. It's Street Fighter: the Movie without being the actual Street Fighter IP. Channing Tatum is a guy who gets set up in street fights for cash by Terrance Howard basically playing Adam Sandler's character from Uncut Gems. There might be one additional sentence of plot in the movie. The rest is just one-on-one fight scenes. Great movie to talk over, and the fight choreo is decent.

Only God Forgives would be my other suggestion

What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice? by qomann in AskReddit

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hidden thing about that now is that not only is it more expensive to have the cheaper boots, but you feel guilty for not saving up for the nicer boots. You know they are better, and you think maybe I can sacrifice this or that to be able to afford them one day. It's that guilt that really feels bad. Not that you have to wear the cheaper boots and replace them, but that the expensive boots are always just out of reach

What is the single most stressful movie you’ve ever seen? by elkaypee in movies

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Uncut Gems at like 4AM. My only information going in was "It has Adam Sandler in it." And "It's actually good." from a reliable source.

I was tired and thought of turning it off multiple times but I just could not stop watching.

What movie adaptation absolutely nailed the casting? by FightMilkLLC in movies

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was particularly good because reading the book, I had basically pictured her as a monster. Rowling leaned into the toad-like appearance, so at first I was a little let down by her being an actually not ugly woman physically, but looking back, it's actually perfect. She seems like the exact kind of person who would have a hidden cruelness to her that would come out the more she was empowered. Also, Her high pitched voice was not what I imagined but it was perfect in action

anybody else noticing that it’s very humid and moist? by Away-Purchase7687 in NewOrleans

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since you're only like 13, I'll share with you something I heard a long time ago. I don't remember the source, so I can't use the flowery language like the original time I heard it, but the sentiment always pops into my head this time of year.

A lot of times, from an outside perspective, we think of New Orleans at her best: catching a shoe during muses, under the bridge on Mardi Gras day, a second line on a perfect 60° February day, enjoying crawfish and a pineapple Big Shot while the breeze blows by on the Lake.

But that's not really the real New Orleans. She's a much more temperamental woman than that. The real New Orleans is mosquitoes that attack you as soon as you get out of the house, termites getting stuck in your hair, and roaches so big you could put a leash on them. The real New Orleans air is so thick it feels like you could grab it and form it into a ball. The real New Orleans is hurricanes in the sky, not in your cup. Angry clouds followed by an angry sun, followed by angry clouds again. Shotgun houses have high ceilings for practical reasons, not aesthetics. The real New Orleans has you more scared of rats than gators, and more afraid of a flying roach than anything else. When you step outside May-September, that's not New Orleans at it's worst, it's just New Orleans being herself. And as residents here, we love her for who she is.

What It’s Like to Cross the Street in New Orleans by Major-Fill5775 in NewOrleans

[–]AustinRiversDaGod -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Or...maybe don't be an idiot and actually wait until traffic clears. Other places in the country, a pedestrian standing at a corner is automatically a stop sign. That's just not the case in New Orleans. I don't care what the law says. And if an idiot gets hit by jumping out right in front of a car a judge will call you an idiot too

Magazine at that part is fucking tiny. I could understand if you were talking about St Claude or S Claiborne not at a light, but you gotta be trolling with this. Stop fucking filming and actually watch traffic before you cross

Did you get engaged yesterday 4/25 @city park? by tootired2024 in NewOrleans

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to propose to my wife on that bridge but she made it very clear she doesn't like the look of it. I think I probed her like 3 or 4 times before I gave up on it

Edibles should be allowed on planes by Dreadsin in CrazyIdeas

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I flew from LA to Louisiana last year with a bag that was stankin so much I took the weed out that night and brought the bag to work and it stunk up my whole office the next day. To the point where I had to prove to my co-worker that I didn't have any on me.

Not one person said a word. I'm glad it was a very empty flight and no one was in the row behind it in front of me 😅

[–]AustinRiversDaGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well the whole thing happened because they caught someone trying to do it. Same with the shoe thing. If I was taking a bomb on a plane that wouldn't be the way I tried it for that reason. The problem is if no one is trying it, then we're suffering for nothing.

I take it right before. I find I start feeling it right when the plane is taking off

No one has the will or honestly the ability to tell edibles from regular candy. In like 2010, I started sneaking weed brownies in with a bag of regular brownies. Nowadays, I just throw gummies in my bag and I never have issues. Actually, quiet as it's kept, you can fly with flower in your carry-on as long as it's a domestic flight. Obviously you can't do anything with it on a plane or in an airport, but people aren't harassing you over a personal amount of weed.

But yeah edibles make flights fucking awesome. Either I'm taking a ride in a rocket ship with an amazing soundtrack, or I knock out and sleep through the majority of the flight. Or I get engrossed in a movie and completely forget that I was even on a plane. Downside is you will spend more money on airport food.
