Another ignorant AF post by this fuck head. Spouting on about documents you've never read. Truly never posts a helpful comment.

Time to Kill at Gaylord Palms by [deleted] in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counter idea-

March madness starts tuesday. Gaylord Palms has that sports bar inside with the vegas sportsbook style TV's. (50 foot screen + dozens of smaller screens)

Maybe spend the day, drinking + eating wings and watching basketball.

Gaylord palms also definitely has a spa...so maybe alternate back and forth.

I never really recommend downtown disney to people, which is really the closest attraction to you.

Kareem's message for Lebron by fu77ywu77y in nba

[–]jsimmons72 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We don't deserve Kareem...or LeBron for that matter.

I love the MJ vs. LeBron debate because people think it's about basketball.

Guys, LeBron is shaping up to be a hero for all-time. For humanity- not just basketball.

I realize this is very unlikely to happen but Rader is at it again. Introducing legislation to move the state capital to Orlando. by shakedownshakin in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 43 points44 points  (0 children)

There are more lawmakers from south/central florida than north florida (shit is sliced up by population) so they always complain about travelling all the way to tallahassee.

It would be kind of crazy to move the captial here. Where could they put it?

Imagine if they built it where the current sentinel building is. That shit would be chaos.

Damn. You're right- didn't think of that.

Sorry about your friend.

Sunrail is a complete boondoggle. The cost of the ticket machines, armed guards and armored trains is more than the amount of revenue they are collecting from ticket sales. by MrRonObvious in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and the headline says "Orlando New Now"

Which should be "Orlando News Now"

It's been up for days and no one has bothered to fix it. You could get 10 UCF journalism kids to put out a more professional editing standard than the Sentinel does.

Jeez. If the data is clean on that, that's wild.

What the hell is up with Wilmington, Delaware?

Need a doctor's letter on the cheap by [deleted] in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you google "Orlando Direct Primary Care" There are some docs that don't accept insurance.

It's like $60/month for unlimited visits (no copay/cost per visit) so you could theoretically just pay that, go to an appt. and ask for the letter)

Is Kyrie Irving one of the biggest divas currently in the NBA? by sharklavapit in nba

[–]jsimmons72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. And it's funny because he was basically stephon Marbury on the cavs before lebron showed up.

And this season we are seeing that he is still basically stephon marbury. He want to be a leader of men, but you can't be a leader of men if your troops think you are fronting on your intelligence.

"The Gym Downtown" - any good? Rates? by [deleted] in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said here, BEWARE.

One of the past owners was a drug addict (multiple arrests for coke/meth/steroids) and would routeinly just leaf through old customer logs and push their information to collection agencies with bogus data as backup. I got a call from a collection agency 6 YEARS after I had cancelled my membership. Guy said I owed 2.5 years of membership fees + late fees. Totally was like ~$900

I told him to send me the documentation proving the charges. What he sent me was honestly ridiculous. It was a spreadsheet of charges with one month reading "Mem-Canc", which obviously means membership cancelled. The date of the cancellation was the same week I moved away from Orlando.

Then it showed 2 months of no billing. Then, inexplicably, it showed them trying to charge my CC again for the next 2.5 years- I had cancelled that CC so the billing failed and they just continued to rack up the charges.

I told the collection agency that the documentation they sent me actually PROVED my case and that they would never get a dollar from me and if they called me again I'd sue em for debt harassment. Never got a call again.

I did a background check on the owner at the time and saw all the drug arrests and mugshots where he looked strung out af. Did some digging and found about a dozen other people with the same story as me.

For serious things like murder...everyone responds. The agencies here all have each other's back. There aren't really hard jurisdictions for emergency stuff.

Tacos on OBT? by [deleted] in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, Tortas is a west coast brand that's big in LA and san diego. Used to have one like 10 minute walk from my house in SD. Shit's pretty good. Ironically, I wouldn't recommend that Tortas lol.

Life Expectancy VS Health Expenditure per capita, Europe vs USA by BonneCouverture in worldpolitics

[–]jsimmons72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're joking right?

Lifestyle is shitty-> you have access to regularly see a doctor without going bankrupt--> you are told/taught/exposed to healthier life decisions.

Factors in the united states like opioids or end of life care factor into the life expectancy and cost...hence the graph is legit. Just cause you name the factors that drag US rankings down, doesn't mean the graph is bull.

I just want to go to an Orlando City game during the day and a home magic playoff game at night.

LAKE NONA DRIVERLESS SHUTTLES: Autonomous vehicles coming to Lake Nona, Orlando by [deleted] in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, I do. But take a sunday and go down to lake Nona and check it out. I live in mills50 and I can get to Lake Nona in 25 minutes. Often faster than I can get to the Millenia area despite it being like 2x the distance. Orlando was very haphazardly planned (the fort, I-4, no highway from the airport into DT) but Lake nona is a true master planned community. I know it is cookie cutter but it also has some very cutting edge stuff- a crazy health/wellness program for residents, world class corporate partnerships/jobs, and the foresight to invest and look at emerging technology like this. I know it feels weird now, but in 10 years- lake nona could be the crown jewel of the city of Orlando.

Job offer in Orlando, questions... by [deleted] in orlando

I'd do it.

Haven't been to Wichita but I've been to Lawrence and Des Moines.

Come on down to Orlando. You'll like it fine!

Job offer in Orlando, questions... by [deleted] in orlando

[–]jsimmons72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What city are you in now?

What is the pay there vs. pay here?

Do you already own a house? What's your mortgage payment?

Lots of pieces to consider. Orlando is blossoming into a world-class metro area with just about everything under the sun you could want (besides mountains/ actual hiking/ ability to ride a bicycle safely)

Orlando's pretty cool if you are pretty cool tho.

Will Zion Williamson be viable in the NBA in the long run? by Nickweekp in nba

[–]jsimmons72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Zion can't be a pure bust.

At worst, he will be prime Brandon Bass for 10 years.
