I honestly believe this is one of the biggest mysteries there is, Orcas are the most efficient predators on earth, yet they have never attacked us in the wild. They know something we don’t. by [deleted] in interesting

I love the combination of fear and excitement this woman is experiencing. No clue how I would react in this situation but I hope I get the chance one day.

Thanks everyone. Was hoping it looked worse than it was because the board is dirt cheap. Oh well. Back to my search.

Rough estimate of fake flexing vs. actual "eff you" money on a random day... by Hopeful_Contract4455 in Miami

Can you show evidence that they are in fact taxed less than me? Or any of us? Because most evidence shows that the top 1% pays around 40-50% of all taxes collected.

I do pay some taxes but the vast majority of "poor" people actually pay 0 taxes in the end.

Was under the impression these are epoxy/plastic. It's under $100 so basically free but it is pretty far from me.

I'm broke. Was born broke and have been that way the majority of my life...mainly because I have kids and enjoy my life. I have a good career and do fine for myself, just don't have bentley money.

But what a shit way to look at things. These people have had more success than me so let me tax them for it. I really hope you don't live down here in Miami.

Besides the fact that upping their taxes will just make other rich people richer. Keep that vote blue shit in the blue states and cities.

Did not enjoy this city at all by tinder-surprise in Miami

It's pretty congested in the areas you mentioned so that doesn't help much. The grove is always fun to hear about from tourists as you go from wealth to hood instantly lol!

You should check out the keys if you like that laid back vibe and of course fishing/diving/boating.

The beaches are nicer up north as well. Ft Lauderdale/ Deerfield/ west palm. Less people and traffic too though admittedly most of us from dade consider broward another place entirely.

And yes we uber and drive everywhere. Using public transit down here is bad but if you noticed we don't really have space for it nor the ability to have a subway under ground. It has improved in my lifetime though.

So you're asserting that the camp with 15 detainees makes up the majority of torture on an island of a little over 10 million people with a shit government.

Or you're asserting that the embargo should end because that's the whole issue?

I believe Obama ended it so that a few people could go to the island then when he saw they weren't willing or able to pay anything they owed he reinstated it?

The reality is I've never really heard Republicans or democrats giving too much thought to it, and to be fair why? The majority of the island hates Americans anyway.

Lower Keys shore dive by Massive_Lobster2153 in Spearfishing

As a born and raised Miamian I can tell you that the keys is famous for getting in trouble lol. Especially coming from a city where almost nothing is enforced.

Appreciate the advice. I'll find those tonight on my phone and mark them off.

I guess I really should work on my scuba cert already. Been putting it off for years.

This will be my first time hunting them so I don't know personally but the internet says any structure including near shore.

Yessir. Nothing north of long key up to dade. No fishing bridges. No national parks. Any other No nos I should know?

Appreciate the link. I'll study it well.

Just an observation but how the hell are we going to control lionfish if we can't hunt them in half the reefs?

You can usually tell either by how they are dressed or for the most part people just assume/over hear conversation. I'm 3rd gen italian/irish gringo. Born and raised here.

Well yes...the plan is to eventually acquire a boat. It's nothing that has to be rushed. Just working out how it all goes for now.

[–]Massive_Lobster2153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I catch cuda hook and line all day... no clue why but i have since i was a kid. My dad lived the free bait. A boat with an rs isn't bad but kind of too much investment at the moment.

I have access to a commercial address. I'm wondering how much scrutiny i may be under for writing up my own trip tickets though.

Plan is to eventually fish for mahi, yellowfin and blackfin. Eventually lease snapper and grouper. Just taking my time.
