People call Florida crazy, but try living somewhere where the sky is gray for six months straight and nobody owns a boat or knows how to throw a cast net.
That sounds like ACTUAL purgatory. π’
I was born in Tampa, but half the kids I grew up playing in the swamps and on the beaches with werenβt. And honestly? Nobody cared.
Thereβs the birth certificate definition of a native Floridian, and then thereβs the rule everyone actually lives by: if you moved here in a car seat, you count.
If you donβt remember living anywhere else, if your entire K through 12 routine happened in the humidity, and if your childhood summer memories are equal parts mosquito bites, hurricane days, and learning to swim before you could fully walk β youβre a native.
At a certain point, itβs not about where the hospital was. Itβs about spending every formative year of your life sweating through the exact same summer and never knowing any different.
Hope this helps clarify... ππ»
@Rothmus Alcohol alone is linked to tens of thousands of deaths a year and stays legal. If risk level were really the deciding factor here, the list of banned substances would look very different.
ICE agents up at the crack of dawn raiding an entire construction site in Vedra Beach, Florida.
The early agent gets the Juan.
These raids go great with a cup of βοΈ.
Popped into Amnesia this evening ahead of the RESISTANCE Opening Party. Easily one of my favourite events over the years. Iβve been to a few RESISTANCE shows at Ultra Miami too, and they always bring serious energy.

Watching the #Gators spring game back, top-150 early enrollee KJ Ford had arguably the best defensive performance on the day.
I think Ford is going to see the field plenty for Florida as a true freshman in 2026.
Impact beyond the game πͺ

@solomonprice_x i've realized this issue has a lot more layers than most people think. Understanding the science behind the debate is worth the time, regardless of where you stand
