I can't believe Nick of all people is joking am0lestinground about that.

Spelling and grammar guru Nick Rekieta is non-practicing in both his degrees it would seem.

Nick starts Sober January and suddenly all his crazy Friday commitments and pan-family chiro appointments suddenly clear to make a cameo with Eric Hunley for the first time in a year.

I prefer to think of this January for Balldoman as, "Desperately trying to reverse the inevitable downward trend of his dying 'media empire'." Because we know he hasn't stopped drinking, just from the kitchen counter.

Writing is something you get good at by writing (and reading a ton). That’s one reason why those who majored in creative writing or journalism are instantly looked down upon by those who are successful in the creative industry. Someone who wants to be a writer would be better off saving their tuition money, rolling their sleeves up and getting to work.

Funny enough, one of the guest Nick wants on is Larry Correria and he is a huge advocate for this and a but of an example himself. He is fun follow on Twitter (when not talking Trump in election years) and he dunks on leftist idiots all the time.

I find his commentary and experience on the publishing house scene fascinating.

Not even joking.

Oh, I believe you.

They really are that stupid.

I'm sure that in addition to deflecting from his laziness and incompetence, he also wanted to incite hatred against Monty.

I posted that. It was hilarious. The group there have a few dozen brainchild between them. I think the term is 'white trash' or 'wiggas'?

The annoying part about his creative writing degree is how inept he is with conveying information. The number of times he defaults back to "it's so WEIRD" to describe things outside his control (i.e.; the culture of the Internet), "it's so FUNNY" to describe things which sexually excite him in an unconventional manner, pointless rambles that no one can connect with (buy a cinnamon roll and jerk off in the family bathroom twice), and then he even admitted he waited to get monetization on Twitter because he thought he'd have to write newsletters and that was a deal-breaker.

Why would this skilled writer be turned off by directly making money through their writing?

If you want to see how worthless a journalism degree or a creative writing degree is in terms of acquiring writing prowess, look at Nick and his pedophile buddy Vito. Nick's biggest successes have been livestreaming improvised monologues, unscripted interviews, and informal debate panels. Vito's big "journalism" has been bringing weapons to a rally, pretending to vape bath water, and agitating retarded Netflix employees. The results speak for themselves. When they do attempt to write, it's a disaster (Nick's stand-up, Vito's "great American novel").

His communication skills are horrible. Granted, most are. I'm autistic. I know.

Typically you hire people to do things you are poor at, and that is where Nick really mucked up.

Nick was always a cult of personality, and that is only sustainable at a certain level. He needed to take things seriously and treat it like a business. If *he* didn't want to do the business, he needed to hire someone to do it for him.

Like all cults, as goes the leader, so goes the cult...

There’s just nothing creative about him. I suspect he realized this and thought creativity could be learned in a classroom. Which is about the level of knowledge I’d expect from a teenager choosing a major.

But it’s not like his parents expected him to ever earn a living, what with being a trust fund kid, so I doubt they pulled him aside and told him he was being retarded. They may have been too busy partying and traveling to notice.

His taste in anime and film are at that 14 year-old level. I would wager his writing assignments were horrible miscreations of sex, violence, and edgy content.

Remember, his plan before his marriage was to finish his last 2 years at uni in Austin while living with his sister, then do grad school so he could keep being a student and party.

I doubt Nick was the big 'party' type or popular enough (that might be my own experience projected), but the motivation was certainly not education.

Say what you like about his writing, and I haven't read him personally, so I have no direct opinion, but he definitely has the skills to make a living writing even in a publishing environment that is completely hostile to his personal politics to the point he's been corruptly frozen out of any major awards and even being published by the "major" SF publishers.

If wokeshit had been the norm during SF's Golden Age (as opposed to what you might call Roddenberry liberalism), writers like Heinlein and many of the greats of the time would have been denounced as Nazis and fascists (well more than they were already).

I mean seriously, look at this bullshit from Wikipedo: "The fourth Monster Hunter International novel, Monster Hunter Legion, received 17 fewer nominations than the least-nominated finalist for the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novel." And there are no less than four citations for this completely uninteresting, uninformative and unencyclopedic factoid. Who else would get a line like this in their grudgingly slapped together Wikipedo article?

 

[Gorton Colu]

@Himedall All-seeing Waifu Agreed Correia has been a grinder as an author and small retail business owner. His books are evidences that constant writing and revision can improve one's skills overtime. Iterative improvement is not something Rekieta understands at all and is something that only weird people do in his view. It's baffling why he wants to associate with people who make him look so bad in comparison.

Spoiler: Writing careers 101

Practicing is just one element of becoming a successful writer, though. Unless you have a rich network of existing connections (read: are a nepo baby), someone who wants to make a living as a writer has to hustle like hell to make valuable contacts who can introduce you to editors and agents. That in itself can be a full-time occupation.

There are some excellent writing workshops that can range from cake walk to intense bootcamp-style: drafting then revising the same piece every day, getting daily feedback from the workshop facilitator and other attendees, and continuing until you have a finished essay/poem/whatever. Some of these are focused on producing work that will actually sell.

A person who wants to make a living as a creative writer can also take certain private classes with leading editors in major media centers like NY and London where they give guidance on how to pitch specific top-tier outlets, what kind of content commissioning editors are most interested in and what they’ll never buy, etc. But that’s not teaching writing: It’s marketing.

TL;DR Nick doesn’t like work so he went to college for a bullshit major instead.

This is absolutely true. The biggest thing people overlook about the entertainment industry as a whole is how nepotistic and incestuous it is. A lot of actors come from families of actors, a lot of writers are children of writers, etc. The new york times bestseller list in particular and the mechanics of how it actually works reveal just how big a grift the whole industry is, sadly enough.

It's always more risky to introduce total strangers to a sex trafficking ring than people who you've had a chance to groom into it...

Balldoman has done at least one interview with Larry before it was a good interview and I've been meaning to read his Saga of the Forgotten Warrior series

Agreed. The 60-80's have their own strangeness and characters in entertainment that went largely overlooked.

He is also a family man. He seems to have put in the genuine time, effort, and commitment to make a good life for himself and family. He seems genuine.

Honest question: I don’t drink alcohol, but… Is it normal for non alkies to have so many liquor bottles in their kitchen?

(Like if you had a little bar in your living room that’s another matter, but the kitchen?!)

My friends are social drinkers so may have a bottle of wine or two, but this much booze seems… Like a lot!

I cook with liquor more than I drink (I prefer whiskey) but I have maybe... oh, 3 bottles of wine? They're usually in a cupboard or fridge, even if they're unopened. I think only my whiskey is out and that's because the bottle looks cool to me.

Granted, I don't know much about Jeremy or Gary, but seeing Drinker about to meet up with Eric July and other people on his side tells me he's kind of quietly washed his hands of Nick and the rest of his cabal. As someone who does watch his Open Bar show he strikes me as the type of person who stays far the hell away from drama in his own sphere (probably for the best since he has the biggest viewer base out of all of them by far, almost two million subs), and Nick's name at this point is poison anyone sane enough would nope out on, so I'm not surprised he doesn't seem to want to touch the balldo with a ten-foot pole. That, and like July he's also working on his own creative endeavors, and the last thing he needs is for idiots like Nick, Dax and Vito to start shit with him. For what it's worth, though, Drinker probably also pulls July aside privately to tell him to keep it drama-free if he ever decides to have him on, too.

As for Camelot, sure he's Nick's Gator or what have you but I haven't seen him super invested in the Eric July situation. If Drinker ever decides "fuck it, this guy's a retard, I'm not inviting him to come on any more streams" I don't think it'll have anything to do with it.

Pictured: someone still totally not mad at the being called a non practicing lawyer.

Hey, remember when Ty Beard thought he could notarize over the phone?

Jesus fucking christ, still fucking trying to joke about it.

Nicky, if he was a competent lawyer, he would advise Riley, Juju and everyother "parodying" chucklefucks to lawyer up or stop doing those clippaverse, ripoffverse stuff etc etc or file a dispute if they are so brave and want to ruin July. once its approved Eric can take them all to the cleaners, though most likely they arent even worth jack shit

remember, "parody" is not an automatic defense of trademark/copyright violation

 

[Swole McPole]

What are cooking in Guinness? Genuinely curious.

Steak and ale pie.

They're all much of a muchness. Different chefs attempt to make it 'their own' by putting some unconventional shite in the mix. It claims to be 'Gordon Ramsay's' but as far as I can tell, it's just a standard steak and guinness pie.

If I haven't got shallots, I'll substitute an onion or two, Sometimes I'll chop in a couple of carrots or a stick of celery. Garlic is optional. Nobody used garlic in Ireland prior to the 1990's, I'm sure. My wife insists it's better if I make the filling a day in advance.

Steak and Guinness Pie:

Serves 4 - 6, depending on how much meat you like. Six moderate servings, four big ones.

The filling for this pie is cooked long and slow, tenderising the beef and allowing the flavour of the Guinness to permeate it.

750g cheap cut of stewing steak, I use shin myself. Needs cooking slow, but when that connective tissue dissolves it makes a fantastically unctuous gravy. But any stewing/braising cut of steak is fine. Skirt is also good.
4 tbsp plain flour
Freshly ground salt and pepper
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato purée
500ml Guinness
350g shallots, peeled
Few sprigs of thyme
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, peeled
500g pastry. I like shortcrust but puff is great as well.
1 egg yolk mixed with
1 tbsp water

1 Dice the beef into 2.5cm cubes. Place the flour in a medium-sized bowl and season well with salt and pepper. Roll the beef in the flour to coat.
2 Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the beef until golden brown in colour. Add the tomato purée and cook for 1 minute, stirring well. Then pour in the Guinness and add the shallot, thyme, bay leaf and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 2½ hours or until the meat is tender. It might take three hours or longer. Depends on the meat you use -- different cuts take different lengths of time. You don't want tough chewy steak in a pie. I like it when it's gone really soft. Other people like a chewier consistency. When you're done, remove the bay leaf and discard.
3 Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
4 Transfer the meat to a 20cm pie dish 5-7cm deep.
5 Roll out the pastry and cover the pie. Scrunch the pastry to the edge of the dish and trim around the edge, leaving 1-2cm overhanging. Brush the top with the egg.
6 Transfer to a baking tray and place in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes and serve immediately

The annoying part about his creative writing degree is how inept he is with conveying information. The number of times he defaults back to "it's so WEIRD" to describe things outside his control (i.e.; the culture of the Internet), "it's so FUNNY" to describe things which sexually excite him in an unconventional manner

The amount of times he repeatedly says these two phrases reminds me of someone very close to me; her vocabulary started to halt and dwindle down to just a few nouns and verbs in very simple sentences. It was almost Tourette’s like. Turns out Alzheimer’s was starting to rear its head.

In no way am I inferring that about Nick, but it definitely shows that his brain’s got leakages. I’m sure they’re tics indicating what you described (control and sexual excitement), but his overall delivery is clearly impaired.

 

[Strix454]

To be completely fair to Nick, I've talked to a fair number of lawyers over the years, and they've all said that if you're going for that J.D., your undergraduate degree is kinda irrelevant. Aside from the fact you have to have one. You could get it in underwater basket weaving, if you want.

That is true to a point in terms of admission to law schools that are not very good and if your only ambition is to get "a" J.D. But its best to understand that these days law school for the bulk of people who are doing it is a fast track to unemployment and debt.

Two of the various keys to potential success in the law are (a) admission to the top tier schools and (b) having some specific extra knowledge or skill that you can bring to the table. Undergraduate technical degrees and languages can really matter in finding good employment. And if you have a useless degree from a not good college, the path to any top law school is going to be a difficult one.

[Not Who You Think]

Null did a segment on MATI today on troons, noting how preoccupied they were with themselves and their compulsion to tell stories about people flirting with or catcalling them. Here's a clip:

Null's observations apply to Nick about how gross it is (even the mention of a gay bar, a longtime hotspot for Nick and Kayla). Given that Nick derives much of his ego from perceived sexual attention (real or imagined) Nick's troon-arc continues to become ever more plausible.

For clarity, I'm not trying to make Null's troon segment all about Nick. I just think there is a natural overlap between the way Nick expresses himself and the narcissism of the trans community.
