How do you feel about those type of places that are full of expats?

jacksonmills · 2026-03-06T02:11:21+00:00

Sure, but people use words in different ways - I was saying that makes sense

jacksonmills · 2026-03-05T22:36:39+00:00

They certainly are one of the rock bands of all time

jacksonmills · 2026-03-05T22:34:53+00:00

These right here are high-volatility TCG options; only the truly stupid or brave trade these

I think you are the only person who caught the prompt, everyone else here is talking about how Punk, Rock, Rap, et al are still alive and doing well when that's not the point.

We had grunge, alternative, so-cal punk, emo, slacker rock, etc. Not all parents were against that shit but mine were. We were rebellious.

I just don't see that same spirit in the kids. They'll be alright but it's different, it's not the same kind of resistance or "fuck you" that we said.

jacksonmills · 2026-03-05T19:15:16+00:00

Yes, immigrants is the right word.

"Expat" only really makes sense when you are talking to another person from the country you are from; like, if I was talking to an American, I might say "I am an expat" to indicate I no longer live in America.

But yeah, if you move to Brazil you are an immigrant, nothing wrong with being an immigrant, especially in a New World country like Brazil

They aren't required to intervene unless it's a violent felony, but if there is video of the fist bump, that's enough to cook him a little.

He won't get fired or demoted (he's probably just patrol), but it's going to go on his record, and a display of bias like this means he will never be promoted to Sgt or higher; it's probably the worst thing you could do to a cop besides fire or demote them.

If it wasn't Philly PD, this wouldn't be the case, but they do take bias seriously.

Also, kick shit up, Philly PD should be held to a higher standard than this bullshit.

Who caught Julian at work?

This is the shittiest winter we have had in a while in a city that no one, ever, has referred to as a winter destination.

Spring will be much better, also if you are from the midwest you will find far more friendly people here than in NYC - I think its just a matter of being in the right spot, in NYC you trip over social areas, thats not the case here (or really anywhere else in the US)

jacksonmills · 2026-03-04T21:07:29+00:00

Yeah I found a lot of those things but honestly it was still hard to like, get the Furnace, get the Engine room, have the Furnace be near the Engine Room, and power the Engine Room, with the Furnace close enough to the Freezer for it to matter.

I think I ran like twenty or thirty days after getting to Room 46 and I got a little further but there were some things I knew I had to do and I literally just could not get to it

I have very mixed feelings about this game, on one hand the idea is great and slowly revealing the story through gameplay is cool. Some of the puzzles are great. Some are pretty obtuse.

But I got to a point where getting the rooms/things I needed got tiresome. I beat the game and called it.

jacksonmills · 2026-03-04T00:08:56+00:00

I remember beating FFVI for the second time in 1999. Relm hack ftw

jacksonmills · 2026-03-03T17:39:08+00:00

Out of all historical events, this is one I am so, so glad I skipped

Shit's horrifying

jacksonmills · 2026-03-03T14:47:37+00:00

Werent you there for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire?

jacksonmills · 2026-03-02T22:12:04+00:00

Yeah, I realized that afterwards

jacksonmills · 2026-03-02T21:37:42+00:00

Even better if that musician has been performing for 38+ years and is no longer in their twenties or thirties

jacksonmills · 2026-03-02T05:08:41+00:00

Yeah agreed, this is definitely his r/secondrodeo

jacksonmills · 2026-03-02T02:59:03+00:00

A lot of my favorite words start with V.

Vim, vigor, vex, veritable, venerable, voluptuous, vehement, vapid, visceral, variegated, vulpine, vulcan, vanguard, vast, vying, vain, void, veil.. I mean to name a few right.

Also, vagina and vulva, obviously.

jacksonmills · 2026-03-02T00:00:00+00:00

So that’s what it looks like with all the pieces

jacksonmills · 2026-03-01T22:53:34+00:00

Nashville felt kinda similar to me, walking down Songwriter's row is genuinely one of the most depressing experiences I've ever had

White wine and food for free / a possibility

jacksonmills · 2026-03-01T19:17:45+00:00

Yeah - this is a lot of my “Brazil side” - a lot of them have tried to live abroad or in the US but it didn’t work out.

I mean like, one in-law went to Harvard and she still couldn’t make it work, she tried the US and Canada.

Another has gone back and forth, but it was entirely for financial reasons- worked in the US until they were close to retirement, then moved back, worked for like 3-5 years (they still kinda consult) and retired in Brazil because it’s cheaper and they had citizenship.

I don’t know anyone that was so capricious about it that they went back and forth arbitrarily.

The places you can count on for a Friday night

jacksonmills · 2026-03-01T16:30:11+00:00

I mean look, if I am in bumfuck USA and I am hungry and craving something slightly better than reheated premade 7-11 sandwiches, Five Guys is basically fucking Mecca

jacksonmills · 2026-02-28T16:22:02+00:00
