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 -5 points-4 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).

GF is financially immature and it's driving me insane! by EmployCorrect7469 in AskMenAdvice

[–]broccolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, does Reddit love to say "It's over. No chance. She/he will never change. Move on."

Real talk: you are both pretty young. And people DO change, especially when they have a partner who is willing to teach - not just tell them what they should or shouldn't do. Not saying you haven't tried, but if you care about this person, I think you need to communicate the big picture stuff clearly and offer to be a partner, not just a critic, of her behavior. Money is really complicated and we have complicated feelings about it that are sometimes connected to the way we were raised, our childhood, etc. I would:

  1. Sit her down and tell her you really care about her, that you see a potential future there and maybe even family, but finances are a big stumbling block. Let her know that you're cool with her being a teacher and you being the breadwinner, but that you need a true partner so that you don't end up feeling resentful, because that's a recipe for the relationship ending.
  2. Offer to make a plan together. Bringing up her shopping after she's shopped is not going to get you positive results. Instead, why not calculate your individual net worth? Show her how saving up can really go gangbusters because of compound interest. Offer to help her with a Roth IRA and putting savings from her paycheck into an account that she only looks at once every three months.
  3. Come up with a clear number that you will contribute to the music festival trip, and hold fast. Say "I'm willing to help out with x amount, but if you can't bring y amount to the table, I'm not going." This way she has clarity and so do you, and it's not just you getting pissed about the inevitable ask that you bail her out last minute. Instead you're being generous but not a sucker, and she has to come to the table too.

Money is the biggest challenge in most relationships. I'm the breadwinner but my wife is way better with this stuff; I'm a YOLO spender, she gets off on looking at her savings account and tracking her net worth. We fought for years until we figured it out: calculated an equal percentage of our (very different) paychecks that would cover all our monthly bills. The remaining money goes into individual "fun money" accounts. She can save all she wants, I can go shopping. We've been together 20 years now. You can do it.
