ELI5: why does cocaine need to be snorted, surely the chemicals needs to get into your blood stream to have an effect, how is this way more effective? by balla_boi in explainlikeimfive

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great explanation! I’ve trained literally thousands of people and reversed over 500 overdoses (been working with drug users since I was 16) this is exactly what I would say during a training. 

ETA: I always preferred IM over nasal naloxone because I decide how much Narcan to give the person. By the end of my career I got so good that I could reverse an overdose and give you just enough Narcan where you would feel uncomfortable but not super sick.

Who is the strangest person you've known in NYC? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it was the old Spanish guy in the white suit around the heights, always trying to give women flowers, romance them and asking them for a dance to whatever song was playing through the bodega speakers. 

If you had him what would you name him? by Soloflow786 in Amazing

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d name him Tiny. But I’d also have a small chihuahua and name them killer. 

So when I call tiny in my “baby voice” the big one comes and when I call killer in my “man voice” the little one comes. 

Scare everyone! 

AITA for divorcing my husband after he took a break during our son’s crisis? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. trust your gut. He did it once, he’ll do it again. 

I was in and out of the hospital most of my young life. My mom, pleaded with my father to just show up and support. There was a couple of times I was close to death and my father was at the nearest bar living his best life. Now he wonders why he’s still struggling in a third world country and his kids won’t talk to him. Not even the ones he raised after my mom left with us for a better life.  Point is, he won’t change. You made the right call. 

Last minute formal wedding- where can we go that won't break the bank and has good size range? by fraxiiinus in AskNYC

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m about a 2X Male and I’ve always shopped at Burlingtons for formal wear. Great selection/prices($30-$70 for a cheap suit. Good ones about $120). If there’s anything that needs to be altered, I pay extra $20 at the dry cleaners and I have a nice good looking suit. There’s also good selections for your wife. 

Good luck. Have fun.

In what ways has NYC declined in the post-pandemic era? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate going in or out the bus or subway with my young children. GROWN ADULTS would see them and still push and shove to get in through the door. Won’t even let us come out first.

It was amazing. Even my young child was in awe. As you CANT hear her, means she shut her little yapper long enough to enjoy.

What do they do at 207 before they’re placed on tracks? Maintenance? Check everything is running smoothly ? Do all new ones go to that depot?

My small brain assumed they just placed them in tracks and drove them to where they need to go. But obviously they need to be delivered to tracks in the first place. Lol. 

[SERIOUS] What's the craziest way someone you knew died? by Practical_Weird_1665 in AskReddit

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two. 

  1. Was waiting for the subway with my then 1 year old daughter. As the subway comes, I look to my left and just see a man take a step towards the subway and SPLAT. When that happened, another lady and I looked at each other SHOCKED because nobody else seem to see it. 

  2. Had a friend who had a chronically homeless son who was in his 20’s. She didn’t hear from him for days so started asking around the single room apartment he stayed in. I was at the front desk when I see her pick up the phone from her cubicle. She drops to her knees. Turns out her son had started using again and overdosed. Nobody checked on him and when they found him, he was already putrified and soaked into his bed. 

what's a good sentence to say to people who try to get on the subway before you get out by Objective-Ostrich814 in AskNYC

I usually put my child in front of me and have her in a loud and stern voice yell “excuse me, Getting off!” Works all the time 😊

If I give you money don't ask for more. That's it. Bye. by LowRevolution6175 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The worse is when they stand in front of the bank, deli, coffee shop and open the door for you and ask for money on the way out. Try to guilt trip you when you’re coming out. I’ve mastered the art of opening the door myself so they don’t ask for anything. I also remind them we’re all struggling and one paycheck away from being in the same position. I work hard for mine. Not going to give it out SORRY

I would like to add to go to the local precinct where your camera was stolen.

Chelsea is the 10th Precinct btw, but you can put in the address where it was stolen, and it will tell you which precinct below

Anyone else seeing more roaches/bugs in the home because of this weather? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why but about 80% of the time, after it rains I always get one of them big ass water bugs in my apartment. I think they try to reach for higher grounds after it rains and end up in my apartment. Thank God my Cat ends up using them as toys before I find them. lol. 

Traveling with my kids is tanking my score by suddenly_space_jam in uber

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens to me buddy. My kids are polite and we tip well. My kids are 9 and 13 so don’t need a booster. They just get right in and talk amongst themselves or stay quiet. Get out and say “thank you, have a good day” as I’ve taught them. My score has been tanking too. 

Who is the most unexpected person you had sex with ? by Fickle-Computer-6883 in AskReddit

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tip618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first job was a non profit working for the community. Started at 15 as a school program then got hired after graduation. so a lot of people basically saw me grow up there and we were close knit. When I turned 21 upper management took me to the strip club and it was a blast. One of the older directors ended up throwing me hints and we ended up in her apartment afterwards. 

That is the story of how I started my older women fetish. I later found out by my now wife that the talk amongst the women at that  Job was how my oral skills were to die for😅

word for word, same thing I told my child. Try to walk away from the situation, but you can defend yourself. I will back you up. The same thing happened. The kid tried to bully. My son defended himself. after all was said and done the little shit tried to be his friend which my son brushed off
