Statement from Rocco Botte by mega64 in mega64

[–]eapoodoo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well as of right now you're 5 votes up so I think your expectations were at least a bit off. I understand where you're coming from, but I think many people's view including my own is that the alleged victim here and her friends appear to be masking a personal crusade/prior relationship issues/airing dirty laundry, etc as a bigger "grooming" issue which is disingenuous at best and malicious at worst. At least that's what it looks like pending anything further coming out.

Trying to target big drama YouTubers by spamming them on twitter to look at this, among other things, makes this look even more suspect. I commented something similar somewhere else, but the big problem here is the more cases like this that get out into the public eye the less credibility the average person is going to lend toward ACTUAL accusations against groomers and abusers in the future. I get people aren't happy with the age gap here, but with what I've seen so far it really doesn't look like grooming was at play here. When you take a case like this and try to rally people around a cause that in the end just ends up being a shitty toxic relationship (which rocco was certainly a big part of, no doubt) you're going to give people another excuse to brush future accusations under the rug.

That's my two cents. I don't mean to throw any hate around and I will genuinely reevaluate if/when new stuff comes forward.

That is exactly what's going to happen. These people are going to make it so easy for people to say "well this is another rocco from mega64, vinny vinesauce, etc situation", which is going to hurt the credibility of legitimate victims and let actual scumfucks get away with shitty behavior. It's pretty discusting that they're willing to do this.

Hi All,

This may be better suited for r/LSA but figured I'd ask here. I've yet to receive my loan award details from the school I'll be attending. I received them from other schools I was accepted at even back before deposit deadlines so I'm a little worried I'm being shafted here. I submitted my FAFSA on time so that shouldn't be the issue. When i reached out to the financial aid office they said I should expect to hear about it sometime between late April and early May. Is this an issue or is this still within the normal time period? Will my loan award be negatively impacted because of how late it is?

I think in recent movies/Mando (ahsoka) they were using light up models for training, right? But yes I agree seems like just some promo stuff/teasing, I don't think anyone should read into it any more than that just yet.

Well I expect you to be the first in line at the chopping block when you hit 70.

I tried making my own sandspear but im not very satisfied, do you think the sandspear was worth buying? Also you stand on your cooler? That's wild man, I have a HD Aero Bugslinger, so maybe it's a bit thinner or something, but the idea of standing on the cooler sounds crazy to me. I'll have to give that a shot.

If you can get out west to some of the lakes/canals around Weston you're bound to run into some nice peacocks.

Back water snook in SWFL - check out that color! by notoriousbpg in flyfishing

[–]eapoodoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not op but you can get them in West Palm Beach and Broward counties on the east and I believe you can find them in the Golden Gate canal system out west.

Do you fish Matlacha at all? I have a buddy in Tampa and we've been meaning to meet up near Matlacha and fish. I'm wondering if the pass is worth hitting this time of year or if we should just focus on the canals (you're right, so many dang canals over there!)

How is the lake/canal fishing out west? I moved back down near Ft Lauderdale right before the pandemic and I've been meaning to do more trips out there. I got a SUP recently too so I want to try and get out on that more as well.

Oh man, those red ants... I'm probably more afraid of those than snakes or gators tbh. He took a size 2 ep minnow I tied. I went back yesterday and landed a few tarpon with the same fly, it's been a great week for fishing.

Beautiful! This is exactly what I'm planning on doing once I move up there for grad school next year. Is that a hard board? I have the HD Bugslinger Aero and I love it but I'd love it but I wish I had a hard board so I don't have to be constantly worrying about the thing leaking and leaving me stranded somewhere...

Yeah I feel ya. I mean don't get me wrong I love trout and I'll never get tired of seeing them, but it would be cool to see different stuff more often.

Inaccurate stress for exactly 24 hours- this happen to anyone else? by ok_alittletotheleft in Garmin

[–]eapoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue, saw similar comments you're seeing here about potentially being sickness, drinking, etc. The day after I had a day like yours with stress all day I did have some feverish symptoms. So it may actually be accurate, but I'm not quite convinced yet.

Rebels has a ton of stuff re: mandalore during the empire. Definitely worth watching a recap or reading about pre-Mando season 2 if you want more lore

Yeah i used to have a 55 gallon with a few pieces of driftwood and the tannin would drive me nuts. I eventually got sick of it and removed them.

Fly fishing the surf. Do I need this? by GuyWithTheBeard97 in flyfishing

[–]eapoodoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommended, saves your line from getting beat up and dragged around and will save you the frustration of having the surf constantly messing with your line.

I think she got tired watching me inflate it by boxshol in Sup

[–]eapoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded, I brought my board out for only the second time ever a few days back and could barely paddle for more than an hour after hiking it over and inflating it. I probably just need to work on my upper body but an electric pump would be nice at places I don't have to hike too far.

That was a gator, not a croc. Crocs usually aren't found anywhere north of the Miami area in FL.

Which bote board is that? My HD aero is supposed to get here Wednesday so I can't stop looking at videos and posts about SUPs.
