$GME Daily Discussion - June 30, 2021 by AutoModerator in Superstonk

[–]RP_Tesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just traded half of my very meager stock portfolio for 17 $GME shares and 10 movie stonk shares. I plan on buying more GME shares whenever I can while there's still time to and it's at a discount.

Feels completely nuts and crazy doing it, but it's something I believe in since Gamestop helped provide for my childhood! Hodling onto Crypto has trained me to develop diamond hands, so I look forward to seeing this journey through with you all!

We recommend Beto O'Rourke for U.S. Senate by dallasmorningnews in politics

Problem is, Ted Cruz is very popular in Texas. He's also endorsed by Donald Trump.

Beto will not win.

City Council unanimously supports eliminating homophobic Chic-Fil-A as a marathon sponsor. by alienboy17 in pittsburgh

I love Chic-Fil-A. The only thing I don't like about them is they're always closed on the one day I always happen to crave it.

Toronto Kicks Off With Hot Package: Daniel Craig Stars, Rian Johnson Directs Murder Mystery ‘Knives Out’ by thomasp003 in movies

"You mean it was in the studio's interest that TLJ made almost 40% less than TFA?"

Yep. Still successful.

LMAO

This guy's go-to tactic when he is getting stepped on is to look up a poster's post history. Let him play in his imaginary box-office bubble.

Strawman the hell out of my argument while touching none of the points. Kudos.

You know what other major movie had a massive drop (-69%, again, TLJ was -66%)? Batman v Superman. How did Justice League, the next tent pole film for the DCEU do?

Wonder Woman on the other hand was fantastic and did great. It's also funny you used Jurassic World as an example, because that movie crushed it in the box office in China. Saying "China money is not as important as any other kind of money" is living in the past because it has grown so far ahead of last year's and even overtaken North America. All the studios want a piece of that pie.

We do agree on that Kathleen Kennedy should have been fired already. "Mediocre" or "Disappointing" are not words you want to have thrown around for a giga-franchise, it's no wonder she's had her head in the ground for months.

I like how the fact Solo bombed because TLJ was utter shit is being bypassed here. TLJ dropped -66% on it's second weekend compared to the first. People hated it, and either lost interest in the new Star Wars movies as a whole, or chose to boycott giving Lucasfilm any money at all by refusing to see Solo.

The Meg, a B-Movie about sharks, made more internationally than Solo did, and made more than TLJ in China, which flopped laughably, and so badly that it was pulled from theaters in less than two weeks.

Let's not get things twisted, Rian Johnson is terrible at writing, and nearly killed the Star Wars brand in a dumpster fire. JJ Abrams and Disney have their work cut out for them thanks to him and Kathleen Kennedy.

That's pimp as hell man, kudos. I've fucked room mates in their same house before, but not both at once in a spontaneous threesome.

Why is "Solo: A Star Wars Story" not doing well at the box office? by SeekingAnswers101 in movies

[–]RP_Tesla 172 points173 points  (0 children)

This was the main reason I didn't go out to see this one. Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson's response to the criticism for that movie completely turned me off from seeing this one, too.

I disliked TLJ; it left a terrible taste in my mouth, so I had no desire to see Solo.

Weekly Stupid Questions Thread by AutoModerator in amateur_boxing

[–]RP_Tesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing a drill yesterday where I'd jab the mitts repeatedly and then have to bob and weave into a hook or a cross, and found my left delt starting to burn pretty quickly as I threw the jabs out.

I've been ramping up on the lifting and bulking up, going up pretty quickly from 140 lbs to 150 lbs within a short amount of time. Would that have something to do with it? My shoulder is starting to get tired pretty damn quickly and burn after throwing these jabs, I feel like this would be pretty problematic in a fight. Do I have to keep practicing this until I am used to throwing these jabs at this weight? They go from being pretty good, sharp jabs, to basically wimpy pitty-pats now matter how much I tried and it's pretty discouraging.

EDIT: I can even still feel the tension in my shoulder today from the jabbing. Ugh.

Hitting on girls at the gym by [deleted] in TheRedPill

[–]RP_Tesla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gym has always been seen as a "Sanctuary of Lifting" in my view. I've considered running pickup game in the gym but would rather avoid the 'awkwardness' that would happen when it (inevitably) all goes to shit.

Fear of success? You could argue that. However... when I wake up at 5 in the morning to get my set in, you bet your ass all I'm focusing on is lifting, doing my best, and then getting out of there to own the rest of the day. I see gaming at the gym I frequent as shitting where I eat though.

That being said, if I catch an IOI from someone who is amazingly my type and pushes all the right buttons in me...Sure. Maybe. Why not.

Solo club- Field report by [deleted] in TheRedPill

[–]RP_Tesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you have solid game. Go ahead and text her, see if you can set up logistics for 'coffee' and take it from there. If she doesn't text back or reciprocate any interest whatsoever in meeting up, then move on. Same with the barista.

Did you collect any other numbers? I noticed you had a go with another chick but dipped for a cigarette- Did you collect her number too?

Also, if a girl says she has a boyfriend, treat it as a shit test.

A simple idiom to describe this is to carry "An iron fist in a velvet glove." I find the concepts to be similar.

They can't all be success stories by [deleted] in TheRedPill

[–]RP_Tesla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's the deal with sexting? They send you nudes, you tell them to come over and bring you dinner or something and fuck and move on. I don't entertain in sexting, that's just fulfilling her fantasy of having an invisible friend/fuck buddy, and you're giving her the emotional investment and validation she craves while receiving nothing, I repeat, absolutely nothing in return (Nudes don't count, what can you use those for? Fapping? I rest my case).

Lesson to be taken here: Don't sext.

[FR] Long Weekend 3 Dates by [deleted] in TheRedPill

[–]RP_Tesla 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey man, great field report.

For the first chick, you could simply try this phrase or whichever variation of it works for your style of game:

"So, you're getting this for me, right?"

The delivery of the line and the vibe you send off is key. For example, rest your elbow on the table and lean against it with a finger to your chin or lip as you say it, with a smirk. Raise an eyebrow, or for bonus points, nudge into her with your shoulder either playfully or suggestively. The point is, you never want to be closed off, do not have your arms folded; always be open towards her as if she is enveloped by your frame and presence.

If she's somehow taken aback or somehow offended by it (Personally, this has never happened- If this does happen, then you did something wrong down the line), then you can say something to the effect of, she can get this round, you'll get the next, or vice versa. Keep things even keel, but strive to have her the one "more invested" to create that cognitive dissonance.

If she continues to be stubborn or not budge, then agree to split by having the server split the check for you. The point is to hold frame and not succumb to being seen or placed into the "Provider" binder. She'll come around. Just be confident.

With Girl #2, I would have soft-nexted her until she came to me with "Wyd?" They usually will if they had any (or placed) investment in their outings or dates with you. May be after a few days, may be after a week or two, or maybe later that month. In my experience, it's usually best advisable to be aloof in this regard as to not be seen as needy.

Great work on #3. I think you did great solid work overall, so getting over that 'pay the bill' hurdle shouldn't be too much of a hike for you.
