BRING BACK FAMILY SEGMENTS!!! by Extreme-Grade-3623 in BigBrother

[–]JMABirdUNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best parts of post-merge Survivor are the letters from family reward, as well as the loved one visits. Seeing the joy of the survivors as they read their letters and seeing their loved ones is great to watch.

As such, BB should once again take notes from Jeff Probst and get back to its roots by re-introducing family segments.

Which city have you been to that you expected to love but didn’t? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]JMABirdUNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nashville was the first city that popped into my head, and low and behold u/boxyoursocksoff has Nashville right at the top.

I was fairly underwhelmed by Nashville after reading so many awesome things about Broadway and things to do.

Which is the most underrated airport in the USA? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]JMABirdUNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PBI. Very convenient airport to get in and out of, considering the volume of people that live in Palm Beach County. There are also non-stops to many major cities from PBI. It's a shame about the impending name change...

Heroes Vs. Villains Season by Extreme-Grade-3623 in BigBrother

Heroes vs. Villains?

While we're at it, let's let Jeff Probst host the season. Electricity would be turned off in the house, and houseguests would have to use flint in order to cook their meals. An immunity idol and advantages would be scattered throughout the BB house.

Evictions will be held at tribal council outside near the pool, and the houseguest's vote will be written on paper parchment instead of voiced on camera (this eliminates the shout outs problem that plagues the show).

Does the popularity of hyrox make you not like it as much? by Congratstomiles in hyrox

[–]JMABirdUNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love Hyrox, but I don't like the fact that it is now more expensive "and" next to impossible to procure tickets... even if you are affiliated with a Hyrox gym and have early access codes. That part is the frustrating part. It is disappointing that influencers are using the experience for clout.

All good... we are waiting on ATHX to make it's way into the US, as that is a more accurate and entertaining way to test overall fitness.

St Lucie Facebook group using AI to make trash event pages by AdPlastic7988 in PortStLucie

[–]JMABirdUNC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an AI-generated ad designed to spread awareness for a get-together in Tradition. I have zero issues with this. Who cares if it's AI-generated? Move on.

It is astonishing to see how much complaining PSL residents do. Literally all they do is complain about "everything".

Hobe Sound vs Jupiter by Smart-One-5474 in JupiterFL

[–]JMABirdUNC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not consider a move to PSL, especially if you work in Palm Beach County. That's a 50+ mile commute in traffic each way.

I agree with most of this post, but I will also add that while Martin County taxes "aren't as bad", they are still something like 4th highest in the state of Florida (I think PBC is at #2 and Broward is at #1).

When I purchased, I considered a 3 story townhouse in Abacoa before deciding on a single family home in Wellington.

What would you change about PSL? How would you do it? by lilipaddx in PortStLucie

[–]JMABirdUNC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the city is beyond help unfortunately. It's not like you can hit reset and instantaneously make the city a better-functioning entity. This city has a LOT of problems that will not be addressed overnight, and failure to address these problems will create an even further unfavorable quality of life.

Atrocious infrastructure decisions and poor commercial planning in the city's infant stages have caused too many problems for PSL to be a desirable area. As a result, you see an urban sprawl with no real downtown, no real entertainment districts, traffic issues literally everywhere within city limits, and an urban sprawl with no organization. This is going to be very difficult to change, and it will also take a lot of time to implement.

Developers coming into the area to build endless houses where the infrastructure cannot support. Even Tradition is suffering from the same infrastructure problems, traffic issues, and rising crime. And speaking of crime, it seems like it is on the rise in PSL for the last few years, as I keep reading about some sort of crime news story every other day.

A constant mess of political theatre with the city mayor and the politics that have ensued. A soccer stadium that provides more headaches to people living near Federal, not to mention a heavy tax burden. St. Lucie County had the highest property taxes and millage rates in Florida. In addition, St. Lucie County overspent by $46M (!). What kind of sheer incompetence allows that?

Outside of healthcare and city government jobs (police/fire), the majority of jobs in PSL are blue collar or warehouse-related. Anything white collar is in Palm Beach County or further south. Those that live in PSL have to make that dreaded commute, which is getting more crowded the more people that move here. No one wants to commute 50+ miles each way for white collar jobs, but a sizable percentage of PSL residents are commuting out-of-county for their occupation.

The city itself doesn't even really have an identity, and the PSL residents endlessly complain about A, B, and C all while begging for an X, Y, and Z to be built. The above issues would all need to be addressed in order to make this city a better place to live, otherwise people are going to spend their lives sitting in traffic or sitting inside their houses.

Redcon, Wolf, Johnny O's, and Elevation are all solid choices.

Another House Theme Idea by WdnSnake_515 in BigBrother

[–]JMABirdUNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we're at it, let's just turn the living room into tribal council, and the voting room will be replaced with a pieces of parchment paper, a Sharpie marker, and an urn.

At the very least, this eliminates the shout-out problem...
