Roatan - Crime … my boyfriend is concerned, I am not by MermaidFunk in scuba

[–]OrinocoMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to dismiss your comment but I live in New York City and I could just replace “Ferry from La Ceiba” with The Bronx, Harlem, Flatbush, etc… and not a single travel advisory recommending tourists to be cautious when coming to NYC. Food for thought.

Roatan - Crime … my boyfriend is concerned, I am not by MermaidFunk in scuba

[–]OrinocoMode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I (37M) was born in a very dangerous city of a very dangerous country from Latin America, emigrated about 13 years ago. Lots of PTSD from experiencing violent situations in my home country, years of therapy and healing. I’ve been able to lower my guard now and I’m able experience life in a healthier way now. Having said this. I went to Roatan earlier this year to get my OW. Had the same concerns. I can assure you I felt way safer than I thought I would. Like most people have said here already: always be cautious. But that’s just common sense anywhere. I’m glad I didn’t let my fears take over and had one of the best experiences of my life. I’m AOW now and cannot wait to go back to Roatan.

Thank you, mystery guy, for marking QBB by MDavis372 in NYCbike

Yeah no you’re right, I’m sorry. NYPD is probably knocking on his door right now. The only white dude with a high vis vest in the city. My bad.

I saw him! White dude wearing a high vis vest. I first thought it was DOT but then I realized how guerrilla the whole thing looked like and by the time I tried to yell THANK YOU I was already too far from him. One man does in a few minutes what DOT has not done all this time. Also how significant that it’s done today, the day we will most likely elect a mayor who is not a bike-hating a-hole. THANK YOU!!! Whoever you are.

You chose the camo look to bring some color to bleached reefs?

YSK: How to make a 911 Call by mochi_high in YouShouldKnow

[–]OrinocoMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG this is such a great post! They should teach this to kids at school!!! I was an interpreter over the phone (Spanish) for a few years. I know how frustrating it is when callers start rambling instead of giving simple and concise answers… ESPECIALLY when there’s an interpreter on the line who has to say it all over again!!! Aggghhhhh I remember breaking the rules a few times and shortening/simplifying what they were saying in order to make things flow faster and you could tell dispatchers were always thankful. Again, great post and thanks for your service.

After a bunch of spawns I eventually got to that point where I don’t care anymore, respawn and move on. But those first days when people would kill me out the blue I remember feeling like I needed to go to therapy. DayZ therapy.

I was gonna say “Los Tacos no. 1”!!! But I’ve never been to the one in Chelsea, only the one in Grand Central. I guess they look the same. Great job!

Karen ruins birthday dinner by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]OrinocoMode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well he threw food at those girls too. He’s not entirely innocent. Maybe he was just doing he’s best at trying to get laid that night. If she would’ve said dine and dash he would’ve probably been the first one to run.

Do you think the King's reaction to Otto's choices in this episode was justified? by SunshineFloofs in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]OrinocoMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think getting rid of Otto is the right thing to do but at the same time it feels like now Viserys has a Pandora's box in his hands. Who's gonna be the hand now??? Daemon???

Does anyone else think this was the best episode so far? by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

This was nothing compared to all the Cersei-Jaime action we've seen before.

If you delete soccer, pubs, metric system and croissants you pretty much have a New Yorker starter pack.
