Here's my best guess how it really unfolded, as we know Nick's personality disorder means Kayla won't confront him. But she will do shit like have others confront him for her or she'll come up with bullshit like "i have a hair appointment that day/the kids!/your father would love to go/etc" in order to get around Nick's defenses. This means she must have been doing that sort of shit for awhile, but this time it didn't work. Nick's not angry about her trying to get out of it, but because his fantasy of being the badass with a hot chick on his arm and being given the ass pats he's used to because of his streaming career didn't happen at the party. He expected to be showered with praise literally like a rock star. Or at minimum him and his wife being able to get in on some prime florida swinger action. The fact that Kayla or just reality cock blocked him led to him being angry at her, presumably for not putting out the vibes.
While all of that may be true, you forget its Nick. Nick will end up accidentally saying on stream "i have a good lawyer, Kayla won't be getting anything above the minimum" and reality will then warp itself so somehow Nick will lose all his assets and he'll be streaming with Ethan down in Mexico while she ends up with his entire trust fund and his grandparents donating millions to her to keep the kids up to their old standard of living. Also the kids are 5 and over, she just can put them in public school and she suddenly has 40 hours away from the kids she can hold down a job with, plus i'm sure the church would be able to provide her a job and funds to keep them going as well. The only reason she doesn't divorce him is presumably because Nick's sleep schedule and lack of memory means she could easily have a fling or do whatever else she wants and he wouldn't be the wiser, hell people already joke about the family massage time, for all we know thats literally true. We already know he can't deal with the nanny when it comes to her spending habits so Kayla could have an entirely separate life already and not know it
Say what you will about Dax, he really brought back his classic BPITU persona of the every man dealing with a nutter. Thats a reason his podcast pre-lolsuit was so good, he was learning how wacky the internet was but overall sweated the small stuff and raged about the stuff anyone could deal with like post-baseball game/concert traffic or feeling you're getting screwed out of money. Even his movie recommendation is Dax throwing out a life preserver, hoping Nick takes the bait and goes "yeah my life is a lot more like that guy's versus the pedo who gets rightfully murdered"
This is pretty much the "pro-life vs pro-choice" argument in a slightly different circumstance. Should a child have an alive father that would gladly let his friends molest them and is at minimum emotionally abusive and at maximum knowingly endangers the child vs a child who would only have the memories of the good times and wouldn't be able to learn how much of an asshole he truely was in life. There's plenty of women who were diddled that would have probably preferred the struggle of having a single parent over one that irrepairply fucked them up. Its like how William remembers Diana vs Harry. The older sibling remembers the personality disorder and the perversions whereas the younger only remembers the good times because they were too young to realize how fucked up their parent was.
It's not strictly about what literally happened in Nicki's life or in the movie, it's about the specific way his neuroses and delusions inform his obsession with it. Because he's a lazy nigger, he constantly bitches about anything that can even vaguely be interpreted as work. At the same time he's vain and hedonistic so he "has" to do these things he hates (even if it's as much of a joke as livestreaming 2 or 3 days a week as opposed to anything that'd actually qualify as a job, let alone hard labor) to pay for his whiskey, cars, vacations, sex toys, etc. Having something he can loosely call an "occupation" also allows him to keep up appearances with his parents, in-laws, or anyone else who asks him what he does for a living. Even with how laughably little he does he still feels burdened by any and all expectations or questions anyone has of him and relates to the Kevin Spacey character in that movie through this because he wants to tell his pesky wife, his ungrateful kids, and his faggot audience (who are currently a surrogate for a boss-like authority figure) to fuck off; to let him enjoy himself after all he's done for them. He sees the act of telling everyone to fuck off as the ultimate form of self-liberation because he feels like everyone's always telling him what to do and how to do it without paying attention to his needs or wants but thinks it's all ok because he knows where to draw the line and believes he's done so much for everyone they'll be fine regardless — because he's a lazy nigger who never grew up the Kevin Spacey character from that movie is his idol.
"Her husband in the corner smacking his willy."
We may have a Destiny's wife situation on our hands. One partner consistently placating while the other gets off on insulting and blaming the first for all of the relationship's problems. Will Nick learn from their mistakes and not cross obvious boundaries?
I had not considered before that Kayla might not want Nick to do trial streams because he would then have an excuse to drink the entire day. He was always passive aggressive, but literally screams at people with insults over imaginary or petty matters while drunk. It would be reasonable for her to fear it all being directed at her after a hard day of day drinking on livestream.
The more that I think on the pattern of events, the more that it begrudgingly makes sense.
Nick is totally the type of person who would live vicariously through a movie he saw and view everything through that sort of lens. If he saw something that sexually charged around the same time he was hitting puberty, it may have really affected him and probably explains a lot about his corrupted morality when it comes to sex. I'm so grossed out.
Driving instruction is very much a thing in the US, but it varies state to state. In my state you’re required to take a certain number of hours of classes on driving laws, signs, etc. and a minimum number of hours of practical training with an instructor (a certain number of which must be done at night). When I was in high school this was done through AAA or another driving school, whereas my parents had driver’s training as part of their high school education. You also have to have your permit for at least six months of practice before you can even take the test.
It's a lot more retarded than that. When initially prodded about his impending midlife crisis a couple of years ago, he reassured everyone that he knew it was coming and that he'd willingly lean into it. This wasn't a joke, he really meant it and what you see now is the result of it. If he does try to bang that young girl just like Kevin Spacey's character in his favorite movie, it won't be in pursuit of extending his life but probably in search of the cathartic "tragedy" he's craving to give his depressive booze and sex-drowned brain some external spark of meaning he can't find normally, whether it comes in the form of death or something similarly climactic like the destruction of his family or financial ruin. A mind that feels dead often seeks ritual self-immolation in an attempt at being reborn.
It's true, and it's pathetic, but this isn't exactly a new or unknown phenomenon. Just to give a few examples, Notes on the Balinese Cockfight by Clifford Geertz, Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy, and some of Joseph Campbell's works all discuss these sorts of concepts. Everything he's doing is a low-rent, kitschy, contemporary version of things that have been done to death in much more impressive ways thousands of years ago like everything else in the balldoverse.
I know I rated horrifying, but I genuinely would not be surprised if this is it. Nick probably
That is one interpretation of it, but it is not Nick's interpretation. He makes that abundantly clear in his conversation with Dick.
Exactly. PPP even said as much on the KC. He hit the nail on the head. Trying to figure out the writer's intent is a waste of fucking time.
Daxipad's shock at all of it, even at Nicki's level of abject alcoholism was the funniest part, yeah. Just goes to show that juju will never be more than a poseur in any of his pursuits. In the same vein that Maddox is the true 90s web 1.0 contrarian faggot comedian, Nicki Nightshade has become a degenerate alcoholic manchild of proportions Daxipad can only dream of in his wildest nightmares.
Exactly. Nick spoke of Lester with admiration — except for when he didn’t fuck the teenager, which Nick explained was Lester’s big mistake.
And would wear that like a badge of honor, no doubt at all.
Which means he’s probably already shipping higher-proof alcohol and more degenerate porn and sex toys to the Rekieta Estate. I’m sure when he and Marie shacked up with Nick and Kayla at the Playboy stripper pole AirBNB in Nashville, they didn’t while away the hours talking about the meaning of life and where to find the best insurance rates.
Not the first time Nick has made off-putting, concerning comments about sex with underaged and/or barely legal girls, either. Nick seems to have a fixation on the topic of sex with young girls. Guess that would in part explain his kinship with people like Vito and Drexel.
Too bad Balldoman will run out of money long before his creepy porn lawyer can include all the factual statements in this thread like "Nick Rekieta is an impotent alcoholic faggot who got AIDS from his endless lust for niggerdick" in a lolsuit. Maybe Nick can file it pro-se or have a chat over some whiskey with expert legal draftsman Patrick Tomlinson on how to craft the perfect filing to take down mean anonymous people on the Fruitfarms.
Juju already has his hoof of Nick's ass, so that intervention is not forthcoming.
How do you think Drexel gets in the house? Creepy Uncle Drex follows his daughter in when she goes to have a sleepover with Nick's daughters.
