Jennifer Dean told 10 Tampa Bay: "It's crazy. My kids walk by there all the time. So it's really scary. I've seen four or five-feet gators but nothing that big."

That's the Florida attitude. "Don't bother me about a hurricane until it's at least a 3" and "Don't bother me about an alligator until it's at least 10 feet."

Here in Southern California, I unironically dismiss any Earthquake lower than a 4.0 as not worth posting on the news (especially not with the common "did you feel it?" tag that a lot of the clickbait posts use. No. I didn't. If I did, I thought it was a truck rolling by outside.).

A fundraising page has been set up for Ms Peckham by her family, who said the woman was living in a homeless camp near the wooded area at the time of her death.

Oh man, if only there was some way to avoid this like providing everyone with a home.

Yep, having grown up in Florida, gators and hurricanes are just part of the landscape.

Here in Southern California, I unironically dismiss any Earthquake lower than a 4.0 as not worth posting on the news (especially not with the common "did you feel it?" tag that a lot of the clickbait posts use. No. I didn't. If I did, I thought it was a truck rolling by outside.).

If you have to even ask the question "did you feel it?" it's not worth writing an article about.

jojo nailed the typical floridian reaction to seeing a gator over 10 feet

 

[Plutoniumboss]

Eh, ten feet is your everyday alligator. It's not really "huge" until it gets nearer to fifteen.

Yeah, so back to Florida Man kills shoplifter over Pokemon cards.

An easy mistake to make. Politics is mayhem a lot of the time at the moment.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

As a Mayhemer I take insult at that.

Christian Ziegler, Florida’s GOP chairman and husband of Sarasota County School Board member and Moms of Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation after a woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota Police Department alleging the longtime Republican official had raped her, according to a heavily redacted police report obtained by the Florida Trident.

The complaint was filed on October 4 and the alleged sexual battery occurred inside the woman’s home in Sarasota on October 2, according to the report. Among the few words that went unredacted in the report are “rape” and “sexual assault complaint.”

we truly live in a society

 

[Ungnome]

Funny thing is I'm sure there are parts of Florida where you can find 10 similar sets of facial tattoos within a 5 mile radius. Also any alleged use of similar tattoos on a GTA NPC could likely be covered under fair use. GTA always leaned heavily on satire, after all.

So their book ban nonsense is so strict it's hitting dictionaries.
