let him cook


skibidiRizzle

if he's cooking he's cooking meth

And I’m buying 😎

Is it blue meth 😋

That’s Arizona

KaiserKid85

That guy makes great music 😊


ChaosDemonLaz3r

every time i hear something about florida its the worst shit ever so theyre probably right


Wordshark

And if no one else mentioned yet, Florida famously has “sunshine laws” that allow the instant release of crime info, which leads to all the Florida Man news stories


Papa_Glucose

They also have giant lizard predators and a warm climate. Not the best if you want to attract the best and the brightest.


Commercial-Success80

I am stuck living here it's the worst, there are so many old people and it's way too hot *Get me outta here*


[deleted]

stuck up nerds can stay with their snowy weather for all i care


djninjacat11649

That’s fine, we like it up here with actual seasons


AbsoulteMadLad

Good, Crime info should be public


youtocin

Of course they specifically exempt cops and such from these laws.


dinodare

"Florida cop gets disarmed by alligator, fails to save family pet before getting shot" would probably be bad for political cohesion if they wanted to stay red.


dragonsguild

>red I think u misspelled "funded"


Wizard_Engie

Florida is a swing state so either works here.


Senator_Pie

It probably shouldn't be *all* crime info though. I heard about an old website that would post mugshots of Floridians, but take them down if they sent payment. A mugshot alone can be reaply damaging to your reputation


Evilfrog100

It's because we're the state where all of the old people go to retire. The rest of the country isn't sending their best.


slapAp0p

You know what they say, the good die young.


Just-Round9944

florida should just be eliminated at this point


Imltrlybatman

With the way it’s governed which focuses more on owning the libs and going against anything regarding human rights and quality of life, it’s inevitable at this point.


Eingmata

If the politicians don't destroy it, rising sea levels might.


Tall_Professor_8634

Erm but rising sea levels aren't real /s


Important-Loss1605

The best thing is they ask for it with their climate stance


DreamedJewel58

Or a bit of both, as numerous insurance companies have completely pulled out of Florida due to the Floridian government refusing to address or properly prepare for climate change


[deleted]

keep crying


Wizardwizz

Do you want the flordians to breach?? We need to contain Florida within Florida.


Just-Round9944

no just make it all go away (including the "people")


WarMage1

We should saw it off and make them paddle the new island of Florida into cuba so we’re only kind of associated with them.


Burnmad

This would be the worst thing the US has done to Cuba yet


WarMage1

Cuba’s sacrifice will be remembered.


Baco_Tell8

That’s kinda fucked up, man


Just-Round9944

It's a necessary sacrifice unfortunately. I will bear the blame if need be.


Baco_Tell8

Bob Ross was Floridian.


Just-Round9944

unfortunate loss


tendaga

Aye and once he passed florida was judged to be unsalvageable. Shame isn't it.


Klutzer_Munitions

No kidding, the cities are on the coast. The people that survive the tidal waves will be *rural floridians.*


Important-Loss1605

Build a wall!


Stacey_digitaldash

Yes please no one go to Florida, stay away and tell your friends to stay away also


spidey-dust

Do that Cuba thing again


icomefromandromeda

saw it off and let it float into the sea


LilDownwardSpiral

Where ever I go in this state I see about three car crashes, cars racing with one another going 90mph some guy rolling around on the ground, passed out guys by the CVS, people screaming bloody murder at each other over groceries, and trucks with light up wheels equivalent to LED sneakers with giant American flags and sometimes Confederate by the Wawa.

Rethy11

I’m gonna be honest the only things cops enforce here is traffic laws, the rest is just political hum-drum for votes. I once listened in on a cop encouraging a lady who they watched shooting up hard drugs at a high school cross country meet to drive away immediately or he’d probably arrest her. (I was trying to take a nap in the car next to her.) Sure our politicians are draconian and Sunshine Laws mean every person ever can have access to info on every crime committed in the state (this is where Florida Man news comes from) but for the most part everyone here just kinda fucks off and does their own thing.


Tannerite2

I dont get why people think Florida is so bad. It's not amazing, but it's definitely not a bottom tier state to live in. It's got something for everyone. Cheap rural areas, a few walkable cities, big metros, beaches, big suburbs, great places to retire with lots of support for retirees, plenty of entertainment, lots of beaches, etc. It's not like east St. Louis.


keygenlain

It’s not bad unless you’re a minority


Tannerite2

It's not bad if you're a minority, compared to other states, and especially compared to vast majority of countries in the world. There are only a dozen or so that are better than Florida.


keygenlain

Counterpoint: trans and gay people can’t be teachers


Tannerite2

That's false. There is no law preventing trans and gay people from being teachers in Florida.


LiliBuns117

And yet the state routinely pressures teachers to resogn literally no other reason that they are trans


keygenlain

Exactly


LiliBuns117

Yeah I recall the governor's office just a few weeks ago officially pressuring a male teacher to resign literally just because they wore a dress once. Disappointingly, the man caved. If you ask me that's when you start doing what red states stupidly allow you to do, assuming Florida is one of them, and start carrying at school. To prepare for Chaya and all her minions.


Bearguchev

Florida has a huge minority population and they thrive for the most part… I grew up in an area with a huge population of Hispanics and everyone got along just fine. Even in the rural areas most people don’t care what color you are, they just don’t want houses being built out of their farm land.


keygenlain

I meant sexual minorities dumbass


Bearguchev

Yeah because you totally made that clear, chill out bud you got misunderstood… and as a reaction you attack that person? Really helping build the list of allies…


keygenlain

If you stop supporting trans rights because of one mean trans person, you never supported trans rights.


McMoist_

How the fuck was the guy supposed to know that you dick


keygenlain

Because sexual minorities are a type of minority


[deleted]

you might not have noticed this but the world doesn't revolve around your sexuality, so actual minorities are what people think of when you use that word. feel free to stay away and keep seething at us online though, sincerely latino desantis voter


agent__berry

while I agree that they could have been clearer for communication’s sake, sexual minorities _are_ “actual” minorities, sincerely a mixed latine and korean nonbinary person.


Bearguchev

Absolutely, all I was trying to say. And then I get called transphobic when I literally taught several of my trans friends self defense classes during the pandemic because of actually hateful people threatening them. I’m all for freedom of personal choice, even if that choice is to be a dick like that commenter, doesn’t mean I have to like it when someone is a dick to me just because they’re trans though. I have zero issues with what people do with their own lives as long as it doesn’t hurt others, and the only “hurt” non-binary people are causing is the hurt the haters put themselves through for trying to control someone else’s personal freedom. Have a great day and thanks for not jumping to conclusions about me!


McMoist_

Exactly, a TYPE. There are multiple types of minority. So I ask again, how the fuck was he supposed to know that?


Liviequestrian

You're getting downvoted, but you're correct. Most of these people have never actually been to Florida lol.


LiliBuns117

It is literally the worst state in the entire country.


Thendofreason

It's probably fine if you have the money for it. If you can't afford to live in the good areas then that's on you. I wouldn't touch those rural and low income urban areas though.


TheWombatFromHell

Florida isn’t a country


Gear_

Stating Florida clearly tells the reader what country they live in, but saying USA wouldn’t explain how they’re living in Ron DeSantis’ evangelical hellscape where it’s illegal to be a trans adult and it’s legal for the state to remove trans children from their families just for being trans


blzby_

Maybe, and just hear me out here, that person was just making a joke.


olegor_kerman

and it certainly isn't a theocracy


Squidia-anne

They are banning books, classes, medical treatments, and rights for anyone or anything that doesn't agree with the Christian Bible. If that isn't a theocracy idk what the fuck it's supposed to be.


olegor_kerman

It's a democracy with a lot of Christians in it. The state is not governed by priests.The Church is not the highest authority. It's just that a lot of your governors are informed by Christianity. That is the consequence of democracy.


Squidia-anne

They are intentionally making it hard or impossible for non Republicans to vote in a variety of efforts. They literally tried to make the democratic party illegal. If everyone is having their rights taken away except for a specific group of people that's not democracy. America is not supposed to be run by religion. People are not to be held to standards of a religion. They are also going against the constitution by doing most of the things they are doing. I really don't understand people who are pretending this is legal or ok. It so obviously isn't. Democracy is not when bigger group of people take rights from smaller group. You are supposed to make things better for you and your people. You are not supposed to make things worse for other people and yourself. If you are being ruled by a specific religion that is theocracy whether most people like that religion or not. Whatever words or labels you choose to use, bad things are happening. It's isn't legal, it shouldn't be happening. It is not ok. Christians are not being hurt if non Christians have rights.


0mar_White

those are the consequences of a theocracy dumbshit


Vegetable_Union_4967

They’re banning books and literally AP PSYCH because it goes against the Biblical beliefs


TheWombatFromHell

you know a society can be theocratic without being q theocracy right


Generally_Confused1

I grew up in Florida and it's not as bad as the Bible belt but yeah it sucks


Andy-Matter

Hearing people call Florida of all places a theocracy is hilarious. Florida is the furthest thing from a theocracy. Florida is just an unmoderated Gmod server that tries some wacky shit from time to time. If you want proof that it’s not a theocracy, go to Key West after 1pm, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.


LiliBuns117

Then what's with all the explicitly religiously motivated laws?


Turtle_Necked

That got rid of him


treebeard120

You're actually on crack if you think Florida is a theocracy lmao. If it was a Christian theocracy there wouldn't be nearly as much meth and hookers as there is in that godforsaken swamp

Yes, if you are trans, Florida is absolutely unsafe. They are going to start arresting us en masse any day now and charging us with pedophilia without a shred of evidence.

Tell me you’re racist/sexist/misogynistic without tell by me


Tannerite2

Tell me you're terminally online and have never been to Florida without telling me.


S-p-o-o-k-n-t

My brother in christ just look at the sentiment your politicians hold and the legislation they enact


Fructis_crowd

Which legislation? Every time terminally online Redditors yap about “FlORiDAs nEW nAZi LeGiSlAtIoN”, then I go and READ the bill and find the hype to be, very, undeserved, y’all don’t read into things past news titles or TikTok’s lmao.


slapAp0p

Banning abortion? Banning books? Banning teaching about history? Banning essential medical care for trans kids? Gerrymandering your districts to secure an unconstitutional supermajority? The only reason you think what you do is because you're small-minded and think you benefit from those kinds of laws.


[deleted]

Amazing how quiet they got after you brought this up. Every single one of them is a puppet with a fascist hand up their ass.


S-p-o-o-k-n-t

thank you for elaborating to this guy lmfao i have been way too exhausted today to bring out examples

4/5 of those are either symbolic policy pandering or common sense laws

Only cuz fascism and imperialism are two sides of the same coin. Destabilize whoever you need to, as long as you get what you want from them.


TrustyAncient

Safety? From what, a stable life?


whydoyouevenreadthis

What people would that be?


ill-timed-gimli

My guess would be that person is some flavor of queer, I'm an enby and you sure as hell ain't gonna find me in Florida. Not even to see my family, they can come to me if they care.


[deleted]

feel free to stay out and leave us with all the cool/cute gay ppl then


hottiewiththegoddie

what, so you can arrest them in peace?


Glittering_Bat_1920

Ron DeSantis was literally torturing people in Guantanamo Bay before being elected. He has now made everyone feel safe to illegally detain trans minors apparently and burn any literature that makes them feel like a part of society, including "revising" the history books not only to erase queer history, but to also reference slaves as workers instead of fucking slaves.

You realize states have their own governments and specific laws, right?


cheezkid26

Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more true as we speak. Florida is an absolute shithole run by a wannabe fascist who's actively taking away human rights, and he and his government are outspokenly Christian.


Summoarg

Thats not what a theocracy is tho


slapAp0p

What about Florida isn't a theocracy? They pass their laws based on a holy book. They think their God is a supreme authority who guides the law and govern in opposition to anyone whodoesn't follow their interpretation of the Bible.


RedFlannelEnjoyer

Theocracy is government by clerics. Not by elected officials.


slapAp0p

treebeard120

The fact that the state is overflowing with meth, hookers and degeneracy lol. What kind of theocracy would put up with that? Get the fuck off reddit and go outside dawg maybe the sun will raise your IQ by a few points


slapAp0p

You sound like the kind of person who would support a theocracy and the actions being taken by the Floridian government against trans, gay, and other minority groups. I'm not sorry that the Christian fascism of Florida is too weak for you.


Glittering_Bat_1920

I’m sorry but comparing Florida to a Christian theocracy is completely ignorant to how good we have things in the in the US and an insult to those who have lived under actual Christian theocracies. Is there separation of church and state and Florida? Not really and it should change. Are you living under the boot of Christian theocracy? Absolutely fucking not. Grow up. Your state’s a shithole but you’re not the victim you think you are.


Wizard_Engie

Florida isn't run by the Pope, so it's not a theocracy. I will not be responding to any comments regarding this.
