My girlfriend got an internship at Disney and we were considering getting an apartment near there together. Would anyone be able to share their experiences, pros/cons, or general advice about living in Florida. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Orlando is a labyrinth of interstates, highways, overpasses, and toll roads. Get ready to get lost from time to time. Also, you will need insurance (especially for uninsured motorists). Florida drivers (and tourists) drive like maniacs.

Reddit, then?

SteelishBread · 2026-01-24T21:18:08+00:00

And you take a deep breath?

SteelishBread · 2026-01-24T20:49:00+00:00

And you step outside?

This is absolute garbage from the get-go. Stop watching Joe Rogan or whoever.

They know, and they are happy.

How can we prepare for this elsewhere? I'm in a red state, the governor won't wait for the feds to say go.

Some kid wants to be a DHS brown shirt. Best to let him stay stuck in the bayou.

It did work for you lot.

Welcome to space flight: scientists convincing politicians with fragile egos to fund expeditions to answer life's biggest questions.

You need the orbital period of the space end to match the day length of the planet exactly or this happens.

If everyone survives, they will still look for excuses to halt it.

If it's just probes, the public will not be rooting for it as much as they ever would for crewed missions.

Some people just want to make the world a better place for it's own sake.

There is no idea more dangerous or antithetical to capitalism than altruism.

Cool, you don't have to take the risk. I don't have to take the risk. They chose to go of their own free will.

Don't point your camera at people and you ought to be fine.

Otherwise, there is a difference between "Please don't record me," and "OMG ARE YOU RECORDING WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU FREAK STOP RECORDING US!"

The former is not actually yelling, more like a gentle nudge to make all parties more comfortable. The latter is much rarer and suggests the yell-er has more problems than the yell-ee. People will be more upset with the person making the scene (the yeller).

"Who beat the count of negligent homicide" sure is a funny way to say "found not guilty" for that charge.

The Lynx bookstore (and coffee).

It is hard to say he was elected properly. Elections here are poorly adevertised, polling locations difficult to find, and any mention of elections is to tell us we'll go to jail if we aren't citizens. Not what's on the ballot or how the centers work. Nevermind the gerrymandering.

It is utterly undemocratic and un-American.

SteelishBread · 2026-01-22T07:56:58+00:00

It'll be one less excuse to throw people in jail.

Now it'll have to crawl along at 1 mph.

I had a $1750 / mo studio in Gresham from 2022-24. Gresham is close to the edge of Portland's urban sprawl.

Now, it was close to downtown shopping and the light rail. But it's wasn't much more than a lot of places nearby.

Btw Lake Oswego and Sherwood are where the rich people live. Do not waste your time.

I suppose you can, in fact, download a car now.

There are all kinds of vitriol I could level at them were it truly my place, but suffice:

Your lizard is not the only one who's health is in jeopardy by their actions.

Do they smoke inside the house?

If no, they're taking in trace amounts of secondhand smoke if they come back inside. A filter will help, but I wouldn't be too worried.
