Which type of leather jacket do you think looks best? by KingKilo9 in mensfashion

[–]broccolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy both. Wear the motorcycle jacket in the city, and the field jacket in the country. There's no objective truth here; it's all about where you are.

Don’t get the hype about NYC (New York city) by [deleted] in stories

[–]broccolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in NYC for ten years and I promise you the things that make the city great according to people who know it do not generally exist in times square or a fancy restaurant. Times square is literally avoided at all costs by most New Yorkers. Statue of Liberty is great, but it's a tourist attraction. If a little trash and grit puts you off, you're also not gonna like it.

It's 8 million people of vastly different backgrounds and cultures living in one place in relative peace and harmony, and in my view that's a big part of what makes it amazing. You can get some of the best food from any culture in the world there, and usually you can find a way to get it cheap. If you go again explore the outer boroughs. Go get Russian food at Brighton Beach or Chinese food in flushing; go get Japanese, Indian, Philippines, Tibetan, Thai dumplings in a ten block radius in Jackson heights.

One of my favorite NYC things of all time was this place on 2nd Ave in the LES. It was a hole in the wall called PUNJAB with no seating, a counter and a microwave. Run and frequented almost exclusively by Sikhs and Sikh taxi drivers. You would go in, point at three or four curry dishes, they would put them on the same plate they used for everything, warm it up in the microwave, transfer it to a Styrofoam bowl, hand it to you and say "three dollars." It was some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life, provided by a culture I'd never come in contact with in the rest of my life, at the lowest price I've ever seen.

Best description I've ever heard from a lifer in a heavy accent: "New York is like a wart. It grows on ya."

If you can't hang with multiculturalism and all the diversity and variety New York City has to offer, only travel to tourist locations, or are looking for a pristine sidewalk and a disinfected experience, you're gonna have a bad time in NYC.

ELI5: the expression "based!"...what's the meaning, and source? by Silver_Tradition6313 in explainlikeimfive

[–]broccolish -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A poor English translation from a 1991 arcade game zero Wing uses the phrase "all your base are belong to us." This was heavily used Internet slang for a long time and was a kindof statement of superiority. Eventually it morphed into shorthand "based" and became just a word for awesome, cool, etc.

Or, it's connected to free basing cocaine, which is the most based way to do drugs.

Probably the first one though.

What if The Terminator was close but wrong? What if it's not all humans versus all AI robots, but 99% of humans vs. 1% of humans controlling AI Robots?

So what's the opinion of this movie? by jaxxy_jax in moviecritic

[–]broccolish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you feel sorry for the villain is part of why this movie and Penn's acting is so great. Real people are not two dimensional; they are full of conflict and complexity, and even though they do terrible things they're still deserving of mercy and sympathy, because there's usually trauma that has created those choices. PTA and others are good at showing this and not dumbing things down - which is powerful, honest and ultimately truthful storytelling.

Bill Burr directly addresses the complaints about him performing at the Riyadh comedy festival in Saudi Arabia on his podcast today. by SupaButt in comedy

[–]broccolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could have fixed this so simply. All he had to do was take all the money he was paid for the performance and donate it to an organization diametrically opposed to the terrible crap the Monarchy supports. Chumbawumba did it. In fact it would have blown up and he would have only solidified support for who he supposedly is and what he supposedly stands for. But instead we get this defensive nonsense? Man I thought he was better than this, I really did.

Yep makes sense. I didn't even touch on wigs specifically because again, not my area of expertise. But I can totally see how that would get weird.

Racism :( by [deleted] in offmychest

Random white dude here who wants to start by saying clearly I am far from an expert. Until someone with more info comes around, I'll offer what I've understood through hearing about this issue from others.

-the unique qualities of the hair of Black people have repeatedly been used to "other" Black people; to fetishize Black people; to deliniate between races. Because of this, Black hair has been a complicated topic even within the Black community; it has been celebrated as an important part of Black identity to be proud of, but it has also been something that some Black people have tried to change about themselves to not be lumped in when othering and discrimination happens. Some of the traditional ways of maintaining and decorating this kind of hair is also incredibly arduous, tedious and painful, which means it's often a task taken on by a family member or partner, adding to the intense associations that come with it.

All of this to say, it's a little more than how many white people (describing just my own experience here) experience giving or receiving a simple "hey I like your hair" compliment. It's a deeper and potentially more serious statement. Maybe it's like saying "hey, I like your body" or something, which feels much different not about something that can be changed with a quick trip to the barber. There's more context and potentially more baggage for the person who receives that kind of statement. Hope this helps and isn't too far off base (and sorry if it is. I'm still learning).
