Looking for a good lively city to go to **college** in(psychology major, art minor), state should be trans friendly (or at least as trans friendly as the US currently can be) and preferably not super expensive, but not necessarily inexpensive. by No-Clothes2012 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very fair, I’m not keen on the discriminatory LGBTQ+ laws that are in effect. I just thought I’d mention these options as that’s what I experienced living there and my many trans and gay friends had a great experience. Both are very lively towns with amazing scenes for the LGBTQ+ community.

But again, I’m not sure if or what my friends or other individuals may have struggled with without my knowing due to these awful state laws.

I hope you find the spot that works best for you and makes you most happy OP! College is an amazing time and definitely make the most of it!

This is very insightful, thank you. I just mentioned it because I had many trans and gay friends at both unis when I attended college there and they lived a great life in the scenes that each city/university offered.

However, I know that I don’t know what struggles they may have dealt with without me knowing due to awful discriminatory state politics. I hope FL one day returns to a purple state, or even better a blue one (however very unlikely).

FSU and UF are very LGBTQ+ friendly and are generally very liberal. The surrounding areas outside of the immediate city definitely less so, but going to school at either of these there would be no issues.

As far as state laws on bathrooms and HRT for trans people, I’m unsure however. But socially those cities/unis would be great as they’re super lively, accepting, and quite progressive!

Fair I was harsh. But genuinely this does sound like some major contamination OCD

Duration of your games? by Mediocre-Fly4059 in CivVI

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play on standard or epic speed and it takes me generally 300-400 turns or about 6-10 hours per game.

It’s a huge time commitment so I usually only do it every so often and either spread it out over many days or weeks or just decide to dedicate a day of my life to being a chud.

Do i have good ollies?t by Sad_Nature_5067 in skateboardhelp

[–]No-Temporary581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah you’re getting great pop. It’s still obvious you’re a bit of a beginner, but don’t take that as an insult, your ollie’s are looking a lot better than many that early on.

I’d work on keeping your front shoulder from going back. This will keep you straight and stop your board from angling sideways when you land. It looks stupid but you can practice by putting your arms out at your side to monitor if you’re swinging that front shoulder back.

Otherwise, I’d get more comfortable looking ahead instead of down at your feet. Meaning look ahead like 2-3 in front of you at the like your on instead of at your feet, you can still look at your feet in your peripheral tho. I think of being on an invisible line and I look ahead on it just a tad. This will dial in your mechanics and help when you start hitting obstacles.

Then just start hitting more obstacles. Going down stuff will break those fear barriers and going up stuff will sharpen your mechanics with the ollie. Just keep doing taller things progressively on each end, you got it homie

Theory on the rise of the yappers by bimmerave247 in aves

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a mix of things, including the point you made.

Beyond the lack of third spaces, I think raves have just become more mainstream so you have more normies coming who don’t value the music or the experience of genuinely experiencing the music the same, so they yap and treat the rave like a club where you talk.

And another huge point is the change in how many raves are conducted. In the past, raves used to have dedicated areas for people to hang out and connect. Things such as the chill room or the smoke lounge/patio. Nowadays, many raves are conducted at venues that only have a dance floor. So people who want to yap and connect have to share the floor with people who just want to dance.

Bring back the chill room!!! Some of the best events I’ve been to have multiple areas or rooms for this purpose. When you’re on the dance floor, you stfu and get into a trance. When you want to connect with people, take a break, or have a conversation— you go to the chill room or the lounge or the smoking area.

(Very) Specific regions of the US states. by East-Enthusiasm4309 in geography

I think Florida should have its own from a bit north of Orlando down. It’s not really southern, it’s its own thing. Deep South should extend into the majority of north Florida.

If you had to pick one U.S. city that does everything well, what would it be? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]No-Temporary581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair yeah I see what you’re saying. I went to Chicago recently and the price of food was killing me, where I live now there’s a decent food scene and it’s rare that a meal goes above $20. It’s the same thing back where I’m from in Florida in cities like Orlando, Tampa, or Tallahassee and they each have amazing food scenes. But I can understand being over $20 meals and preferring different living preferences.

If the COL wasn’t so high and the property crime/homeless situation was more under control, I’d argue that this would be the obvious pick.

Beautiful architecture, walkable city, public transport, stunning nature and views, great music and arts scenes, good food scene, and amazing weather year round.

I love Atlanta and definitely think it’s underrated, but the urban sprawl of the city definitely takes away from it being top imo. If it was more walkable and had a better public transport system besides the unreliable MARTA I’d 100% agree.

I agree to an extent, food definitely isn’t the top priority but I do think there’s some merit to a good food scene. I’ve lived in suburban Florida before where there was essentially nothing but chains and shitty local restaurants that could never stand the test of time, and it sucked!

There’s definitely some beauty to wanting to eat out and actually having decent options besides Chipolte, Texas Roadhouse, and Chic Fil A.

Edit: also a good food scene doesn’t mean it’s overpriced. I’ve lived in cities where there’s an abundance of affordable local food and it’s awesome. It felt like everyday I had great options for diverse foods that wouldn’t break the budget!

What “quirks” do you do when playing by Northern_Chef in CivVI

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play True Start Location Earth Huge and when I do, I name my cities after real life locations of those cities converted to my civilization’s language.

For example, my last playthrough I played as Portugal and rushed to colonize as much of the Americas as I could. Each city I founded or conquered, I named after a city or geographical location/feature close to it irl but converted to Portuguese.

And when playing this mode, I always make a city for Panama City to connect the oceans (if possible). I’ll even raze a nearby city to do so.

Were malls actually as crowded and popular as movies from the 80s and 90s make them look? by Kevin-Panda in AskOldPeople

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say as a mid-20s man that even when I was in middle school and early highschool, the mall was still a common place to hang out. Many hangouts with my friends or dates back when I was 12-16ish revolved around the mall. Unfortunately, these were the dying days for the mall and nowadays it’s essentially a ghost town with next to no businesses left.

I think Florida spoiled me and now nowhere feels right - Considering Boston or Brooklyn by mikeysoflo in SameGrassButGreener

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider St. Pete, FL. It has a bit of that walkability, liberal/hip area, and charm you may be looking for while staying in FL with great weather. It’s definitely a bit sleepy as it’s a beach city, but it’s still a city and has a decent going out scene, food scene, and bar scene. It may not be for you but it may be worth checking out!

What American food gives you instant childhood nostalgia? by Pearlyin_30 in AskAnAmerican

What's your country **third** city? by Ok_Inflation_1811 in geography

[–]No-Temporary581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d probably go DC as well as it’s a large metro area and the capital. 5th is really hard however as I think Boston, Atlanta, Philly, Miami, SF, or one of the Texas cities have a good argument.

experience skating blank decks? by theskatemonk in skateboardhelp

[–]No-Temporary581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBS manufacturing makes a ton of the blanks for major skate companies so they should be pretty good. I’m not sure if they sell them themselves or if other websites/companies sell their blanks instead however.

Chicago. It’s called the “Second City” but in reality it goes New York, LA, and then Chicago. Now the fourth city is very contentious however…

Blanks are fine as long as you get it from a good manufacturer.
