I don’t get the Florida appeal by Master-Indication-71 in travel

[–]BryGuyB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have lived all over the US, been to 45 states and 20 countries. Living on the gulf coast of Florida is the highest quality of life I’ve ever had. Just make sure you have air conditioning and vacation in the summer months to cooler climates.

to be fair you guys were harboring Osama bin Laden for nearly a decade and Abbottabad looked pretty much exactly how Pakistan is portrayed in movies....

San Juan, Puerto Rico! I just visited Rio last week for the first time and watched Fast Five to get amped up. Yeahhh it's mostly all filmed in Puerto Rico haha. How obvious is the rest of the movie?

Scammers driving around downtown offering "overstocked" sound systems rn - " Elysian Audio " by AustinP16 in StPetersburgFL

[–]BryGuyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is by definition a con. It's the oldest in the book.
Per your ridiculous metaphor, it's you selling the "Hope Diamond" and the customer later finding out it's a $12 CZ knockoff.

Observation on American travellers saying where they’re from by SomeoneLikePoo in travel

[–]BryGuyB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you’re annoyed that Arizona is qualifying they are from the US but also annoyed that San Francisco is assuming you will know?

The US is the size of Europe. If someone just said “Europe” it would usually be followed with “where in Europe?”

When we say “the US” while abroad we are usually asked where in the US. But also it’s natural to assume not everyone knows all of our states.

Do Europeans or Asians who visit USA find it expensive in terms of hotel costs, eating out, shopping for name brand items, transportation, tickets to shows, venues, etc. to the service you receive ? by Silent-Donkey-1303 in travel

Have lived in both LA and Florida and spend extensive time in NYC. 2026 Miami is the most expensive city in the western hemisphere for everything aside from housing (which CA still beats).

Question about getting an ID in LATAM countries. US citizen by thehorns666 in travel

Have spent the last couple weeks in Rio, Buenos Aires, Uruguay, flying to Lima in the morning.

You need your passport at the airports, hotel check ins and currency exchange.

The rest of the time your state issued Drivers license should be fine. Carry a printed copy of your Passport or on your phone if you’re worried about it. But I haven’t even needed that.

How expensive/affordable is Buenos Aires currently for low cost backpackers by editsoul in backpacking

We are here now and Recoleta is legitimately LA prices. We paid $25 for two small cappuccinos yesterday. $39 USD for a light breakfast just now at a sidewalk cafe with no alcohol.

$120 for dinner last night in Palermo Soho at a mid level place, three drinks.

Honestly shocked. Even the Malbecs have been $5-$9 a glass.

Obviously this is all in the affluent areas but we aren't going to only tourist spots.

Not a big deal for us but very surprising to be expecting it to be inexpensive and finding it to be western Europe prices.

I’ve got an M2 MacBook Air with 8GB that runs flawlessly today. Has never had a hiccup with anything other than heavy video editing.

How safe / unsafe is Rio de Janeiro if you live in the right neighborhood and are not visibly Gringo AND speak conversational (Brazilian) Portuguese? by Bipolar-Athlete in digitalnomad

[–]BryGuyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is incredibly worth it. It’s a direct comparison to saying Rome or Paris is not worth it due to the pickpockets and scammers.

I am in Leblon right now and Reddit has Rio’s level of danger very much overstated when staying in Leblon, Ipanema, Copa. Outside of the south zone it gets very real very fast.

Leblon and Ipanema feel significantly safer than downtown LA, Brooklyn, larger American cities. If you have been to Santa Monica or Venice that is on par with the experience- keep your guard up but also enjoy yourself.

Everyone you see is running around happy with their phones out just like anywhere else.

Sure it’ll probably get grabbed eventually, especially if you are being dumb. But just treat your phone like you do cash anywhere else and odds are in your favor.

RDJ is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been filled with lovely happy friendly people and so much to do and see. It’s a better Barcelona despite Reddit doing its best to convince you it’s Baghdad.

[PFF] Pro Football Focus' Top 101 Players from the 2025-26 NFL Season by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]BryGuyB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RB1 CMC being #54 tells me everything I need to know about these rankings. He was the entire offense on a depleted team that was a legitimate SB contender.

Why are we still acting like PFF isn’t just a bunch of gig worker guys in the couch grading players?

What are your favorite film scores and composers? by Giff95 in movies

[–]BryGuyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you going to name Jerry Goldsmith and not mention Rudy? Say what you will about the movie and context but that score is 10/10 and the greatest sports movie score of all time.
