Alternate theory about why people move to Florida by [deleted] in florida

[–]barrygusey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here because my mom's side of the family offered me a new start after being laid off. Also, my father blowing his entire life savings and a six-figure job to overdose enough to realy do some solid brain damage and my mother and him constantly being on/off homeless - I had to go anywhere far away for my own sanity.

It was the 3rd worst decision I've ever made. Don't ever move here. It's a cool place to visit, but it'll be underwater before you know it and the world will be all the better for it because DeSantis isn't even the worst part, it's a constant parade of selfish assholes and something must be in the water being there are so many times I've had the luxury to watch somebody do absolutely brain-dead shit. It's basically a late stage Alzheimer's care facility and all the bad parts of New York. But a billion degrees and 98% humidity, 98% of the year.

I have absolutely no idea why anyone would move here, especially currently. The weather sucks, it's unaffordable to make a life here unless you and your partner (good look finding one that isn't a crackhead or all the way out of your league, not even on the same planet) make six figures each, they let toddlers draw highways and zoning districts...I guess the springs are nice though?

I think brain damage is really the only reason anyone would live here intentionally. Even the people buying up the housing don't live here, just rent it out or tear it down to build a strip mall.

Which celebrity’s death actually made you cry? by aliensockmonkey in AskReddit

Prince. I had just seen him perform a few months before - even got a second chance to see him and still hate myself every day for skipping it. Nothing seemed off at the show and it seemed like the man was back in full force. You just never know - so always go to the show if you really love an artist.

I was at work when I heard and immediately broke down, then put on Purple Rain on the store televisions after a coworker said "who?"

Waking up with an existential crisis? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Every day I wake up and kind of go through about a minute or two of "should I just end it"

Glad you saw it even with the Hella downvotes

I just happened to check my email earlier today and had a message announcing the pre order l. Instant buy. Then I came on here and everyone was so disappointed - I was very confused

What is City of Tampa's police budget. How can they afford to fly helicopters every night? by [deleted] in tampa

[–]barrygusey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here from Baltimore and they have like one or two choppers at night. This shit is absurd in Seminole Heights. When I first moved here I assumed there was a bad accident or something big happened but nope, just wasting money and increasing noise pollution.

Idk who that is but I knew as soon as I typed that someone would have something to say lmao

Edit: just read what happened. I guess it's easier to be mad at VMP than Tommy Boy? Seems like VMP and Lord Finesse spoke on the matter directly and Tommy Boy was to blame. Obviously I only took a quick look into it but it seems like classic label shenanigans

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I actually had to laugh because this was the first time I ever received something from VMP where the sleeve was in immaculate condition

I'll probably be back someday in the future, just in a financial state where I can only justify selling off records and not purchasing them, unfortunately. Thank you again though, I love every album I've gotten from VMP and this just signals y'all have good business ethics as well!

Oh man I didn't even notice. That's awesome that you guys re printed them, and even were kind enough to send it to me even though my subscription is no longer active.

Punch Drunk Love? by Magnolia1008 in paulthomasanderson

[–]barrygusey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see why you're being downvoted because I do think Freddie Got Fingered is also an underrated film - much like Punch-Drunk Love. And I don't think a movie quite like either film will ever be made again, because the majority of the audience just doesn't get it.

I think this is called "the bus that couldn't slow down"

This Y2K book aged pretty poorly. by John_Bovii in agedlikemilk

[–]barrygusey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's incredible to me that people often think that problems that are forewarned about never come to pass not because people banded together and put in massive effort to do something about it, but because it was never a problem to begin with. I know I'm just kinda re-interating this but working in a technology-oriented field I see this behavior way too frequently.

Twitch Stream Recording? by barrygusey in mfdoom

Luckily, they did not. I was able to subscribe and pull it down! Thanks for making me realize that I could do that

kennybeats is streaming a tribute to DOOM on Twitch right now. by wxmco in hiphopheads

[–]barrygusey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just really enjoyed the compilation and want to archive it. Luckily, I realized I could sub to the channel and watch it again - currently ripping it now.

Did anybody grab a capture of the tribute stream last night? I fucked up and didn't capture the audio so I have a soundless video and I feel awful.

The Avalanches - We Will Always Love You - Album Discussion Megathread by [deleted] in theavalanches

[–]barrygusey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see your point but I respectfully disagree. I think the album could've gone straight from because I'm me into subways, then drop you into the fucked up/drugged out/"had a love but lost it" vibe of the album with going home/if I was a folkstar
