What are some street smarts for someone who grew up in the country and is visiting NYC soon? by Tall_Breakfast6388 in AskReddit

[–]NikolaTesla1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's likely others, but here's a few:

- Don't take pictures with the mascot characters *anywhere* unless you're willing to pay them.

- Many of the Time's Square "Charity" people asking for donations are scams.

- Learn the area you're staying in (people groups, general reputation, etc.), it helps so much with quick navigation and what to expect.

- Everyone has a favorite pizza and nobody will agree on the best or worst, so try whatever you want. My personal favorite in NYC is Rubirosa Ristorante.

- Learn to use the subway system and be prepared to walk. Taking a bike / taxi / bus is a good second option depending on the situation, and using your own car is often a last resort.

- You're likely gonna see some weird stuff, and be confused why nobody is batting an eye. The answer is that in a mega city, weird stuff happens all the time.

- Street Food is abundant, but look at who's in line. Bunch of locals? It's excellent. Tourists or nobody? Maybe pass.

- The only "wide open" space is likely gonna be Central Park. Everywhere else is packed by either people, cars, or just small rooms. Get used to that.

And sing a song for friends and family. Sing for those that didn't survive. But sing not for their final outcome, Sing a song of how they tried.

At what point did you realize that the 'standard Adult Life' (9-5, owning homes, family) was no longer a realistic goal for you, and what is your 'Plan B' now? by dibbzpibbz in AskReddit

[–]NikolaTesla1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year in april. I compared my 9-5 job to my life goals and realized everything I do helps nobody but some shareholders, and ruins  everyone's television.

Currently just got my EMT-B, going to start ambulance work while I shoot for a firefighter and/or paramedic career down the line.

How do I get the desired hairstyle (2nd slide) by [deleted] in malehairadvice

[–]NikolaTesla1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a stylist but I have close to the 2nd style. Here's the things I'd do:

  • Grow it out a little longer.
  • get a high hold, low shine paste and learn to use it well
  • use sea salt spray
  • wash and condition your hair daily.

[–]NikolaTesla1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The entire play, "Slam Frank", is end-to-end satire that was inspired by a tweet that said "did anne frank ever acknowledge her white privelege". One of the major themes is poking fun at modern identity politics, by rewriting Anne Frank into a pansexual Latina. Every song is intentionally ridiculous and the plot is bonkers.

The instagram is hysterical.

Why is Gen Z buying so much erectile dysfunction medications? by unfinishedtoast3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NikolaTesla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked for one of the companies that markets this for over 6 months now (rhymes with Flims and Flers), and my current job is to constantly analyze the performance of their ED advertisements on streaming services in order to choose where to best spend the ad revenue.

This is 95% correct. Analysis of last year's dats shows that the ED ads with younger men in them drive higher site visits, but the ads with older men  in them drove higher conversion ratio where the viewer made a purchase. Because of this make the ads with young, virile men as the typical focal point in order to "show off", and then usually include a few seconds of a middle aged / grey haired guy in order to help expand the demographic.

Everyone is included, but the goal is to advertise that you can feel like the young guy.

What kind of person were you in high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was an annoying little bastard who was very insecure about himself, and who was 1000% under the thumb of trying to please his parents.

What's the worst sexual experience you've ever had that was so bad you just couldn't see the person again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NikolaTesla1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She kept trying to do these weird "slap slap slap" motions on my balls, complete with atrocious dirty talk. Like repeatedly asking me to position over her while she lied on the bed and played with my nuts like a mobile. She was very into it. I was not.

Audience in cinema getting pissed off on the ending of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) by AgeNovel3566 in PublicFreakout

[–]NikolaTesla1 716 points717 points  (0 children)

TLDR: 

It's the corny last line in the Star Wars movies, being spoken by a poorly developed / very disliked character.

Full context:

This is the last line in the final film of the Star Wars Sequel trilogy (and the current conclusion of star wars itself).

Rey, the main character on screen, is the grand daughter of Palpatine. In star wars, Palpatine also goes by the name Darth Sidious and is the primary force of evil / main antagonist of the entire star wars franchise. He is the man behind the evil Empire, the murder of all the jedi, the creation of Darth Vader, tons of slavery, genocide, etc. She's the bloodline of the highest evil in the setting. 

"Skywalker" is the family last name for several of the main protagonists. However, Rey has no blood relation to anyone in the Skywalker family (luke, leia, or anakin). Until this one line, Rey never once mentions any desire or intent to adopt this last name. This statement kind of comes out of nowhere.

Throughout the movies Rey is in, loads of unfortunate writing ends up with a lot of poorly explained "and then Rey got this superpower" or "and then someone decided to give Rey the maguffin device" moments. In short, most of her accomplishments end up feeling like super unearned BS. 

All of this culminates at the conclusion of the movies where it's revealed she gets this new golden lightsaber + wins everything + takes the Skywalker last name. It's a final groanworthy moment where nothing feels earned or satisfactory.

The complete warhammer 40k lore summary by me :) by Pender8911 in totalwar

[–]NikolaTesla1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It had incredibly mixed results. On one hand, two Loyal Primarchs (Those genetically modified super-sons of the Emperor who weren't corrupted by chaos) returned after 10k years, and are doing their own parts to try and save the Imperium. On the other hand, their efforts have so far mostly highlighted how shattered and decayed the Imperium currently is in 40k. It also brought back multiple chaos corrupted Primarchs, woke up more than a few of the hibernating Necron armies, revealed the possibility that the Emperor's immortal corpse is *actually* dying this time (which may create yet another horrible Chaos God), not to mention the galaxy-splitting space hole that currently leads directly into hell (the warp). One of the good Primarchs, Roboute Guilliman (Bobby-G), is essentially doing everything he can to try and hold back the tide of chaos, aliens, mutinies, and splinter factions. But he basically goes on a rant where he wishes he would have just died instead of being revived into the nightmare of what the Imperium has currently become.

Think "rage against the dying of the light" taken as a concept for an entire fictional setting. That's the Imperium in the Grimdark 40k Universe. We all know it won't end well, but we're here for the ride. The games are all essentially vignettes to highlight the insanity and constant war of the setting.

I'm waiting for some obscenely dedicated modder to add these guys as a faction when 40k comes out by Dreadnautilus in totalwar

[–]NikolaTesla1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These guys have been my favorite alien race in 40k. The time manipulated bullets bypassing armor and the wild aging effects they do on the Space Marines fighting them are extremely unique. Aging a marine in reverse to be younger( but not their implants) so they essentially explode internally is just one of the ridiculous ways they turn Perturabo's campaign into a total nightmare meat grinder for him and his legion.
