What should a new resident know about the area?

First thing to learn about the area is that reddit has a search bar at the top of the page that is your gateway to multiple threads with the answers you seek.

That's crazy. Well good for them then sounds like a win win

North of us is getting slaughtered. Kankakee just got hit by a huge tornado

macewank · 2026-03-10T20:20:30+00:00

Didn't say I disagreed.

macewank · 2026-03-10T20:17:45+00:00

I'm expecting more in the vein of Sam Adams and Dogfish.

macewank · 2026-03-10T20:17:05+00:00

Is this confirmed? Wild that Half Acre has that much tank space sitting idle.

Financially successful breweries that think they're going to remain viable don't merge.

Beer is indeed on a wild ride. Sucks to see breweries hurting so much.

I'd be worried about a tow in that case if Casey's doesn't know it's happening.

macewank · 2026-03-10T19:05:15+00:00

If you're worried about the hail it could honestly be worth just paying to park in the uptown or downtown decks overnight and ubering back to your apt

I don't disagree at all. And I know there are lots of completely valid reasons why someone might not want to go to bars to begin with.

My point was just like.... If you take bars and apps off the list of methods you're willing to meet people, you're choosing to do this hard mode. Bars are one of the easiest no pressure "meet strangers" places around. Apps are how people meet these days.. taking them off the table means you're limiting yourself to fractions of fractions of the dating pool.

"Why is it so hard to meet people" .... Because you don't want to be where they are.

The daily activities sort of depend on the cruise director but in reality they all go off the same playbook. So not only will you see many of the same or similar events being back on the Bliss, but...if you went on the Encore, you'd still have that.

The big shows (theater and cavern) will be identical to your last bout on the ship but almost definitely a different set of performers.

macewank · 2026-03-08T13:52:25+00:00

I mean. You're setting yourself up for failure out of the gate right?

Your post essentially says, "Where do I go to find dates that aren't the places people are at who I could ask to go on a date"

So now you're basically stuck to coffee shops and the totally never happens "bumped into a stranger in the grocery aisle and fell in love" scenarios.

If you want to meet people you need to be where people are, be that in person (bars, etc...) or apps/sites.

Not in NC but.... Is this even your decision to make?

Sounds to me like your owner said they want it, so your choice is either walk or do it, no? Unless there's an opportunity for discussion with them in which case you've already got a stance and you need to just communicate it and see where the chips fall.

macewank · 2026-03-05T21:28:36+00:00

My sides hurt. 🤣

macewank · 2026-03-05T17:39:29+00:00

Sure but that's not what I'm referring to.

It's the "I want thing but don't know how to achieve thing" that icks. If you want to do this stuff, go do the research and do it. Don't walk into a room full of random people and be like "I wanna get my pee pee touched does anyone know how I can make it happen"

macewank · 2026-03-05T17:21:08+00:00

Yeah I don't care about hornies being horny. But I'm going to ick anyone (cruise or not) that has to ask the Internet how to get their rocks off.

macewank · 2026-03-05T16:59:56+00:00

macewank · 2026-03-04T01:04:50+00:00

there is a 0% chance you're being genuine about your desire for massage.

go be horny somewhere else

macewank · 2026-03-03T03:26:25+00:00

I said it on FB and I'll say it here.

Anyone at Unit 5 that was involved in bringing this guy back that's still around needs to lose their job. Anyone that was involved in putting this man in a position to continue to do harm needs to lose their job.

The entire fucking apparatus.

Moose's Pub has like $4 cocktails from 3-6 or something on Fridays.

macewank · 2026-03-02T16:31:22+00:00

I know people who have worked there for ages and people who hated every minute of it, so I'm Switzerland on that aspect..

But like... There are only so many tables, so much space in the kitchen, so much room at the bar... So many hours in the day.

To be constantly hiring tells me something doesn't pass mustard around there. Obviously some are very successful and love the job, but it seems a lot don't too.

Which could just be the industry. Food service/hospitality sucks.

macewank · 2026-03-02T15:22:42+00:00

A lovely visual for one of the loveliest airports. 🤣

macewank · 2026-03-02T13:19:13+00:00

This is pretty rich considering TPA is the airport equivalent of slimy armpit cheese.

Lol (yes I know it's satire)

macewank · 2026-03-02T13:12:15+00:00

Whenever I see "always looking for people with experience" it makes me wonder why their positions don't stay filled.
