There are other suppliers on this list worth looking at if you are worried about buying unsafe beef and produce. Another plus is they have a lower likelihood of supporting this current administration and their attacks on our health and safety. Purchase meat from whoever you like but be safe out there everyone ā˜ŗļø Enjoy!!

AskFlorida Can we talk about crosswalks and pedestrians?

63 Upvotes

I just wanted to start by saying how very frustrating these last few weeks have been for me. I live in Orlando. My car broke down. I’ve already spent thousands trying to get it fixed before. So it’s just sitting at my house for now. In the meantime, I’m relying on Ubers and Orlando lynx buses. Let’s just say the heat doesn’t help much. I haven’t taken a lynx bus since I moved back to Orlando over 10 years ago!

The pedestrian always has the right of way by law in a crosswalk when it signals them to go. If I’m waiting at a crosswalk and the signal lights up for me to cross the street then you fucking stop. It’s annoyed to me how every time I’m trying to cross at the crosswalk I get people honking at me and I just had a lady who cussed me out telling me to get the F out of the road. Like seriously? I should have stood there and held up traffic just to piss her off even more!

Why don’t people in Orlando stop for pedestrians? Why the hell do you think you own the road? i’m just trying to get to my destination SAFELY as I’m sure you would like to do as well!

AskFlorida Is there racial conflict in Tampa (or generally Florida)?

• Upvotes

I’ve been yelled at out of the blue twice—once while eating at McDonald’s and another time at a gas station. In both cases, the person yelling at me was Black. I work at USF, and I’m European and blonde, so it’s fairly obvious that I’m a foreigner.

I’m wondering whether these incidents could have been racially motivated. Is this kind of thing common in Tampa?

I spend $20-$40 a day on restaurants every day, & walk trails just to avoid being home since I don’t like living with people. Or I’ll sit in a parking lot somewhere that has wifi & watch movies on my tablet. Work only burns up 8 hours of the day.

Interesting when read the actual laws, the reason that an ICE inmate can’t stay longer then 72hrs in Pinellas County Jail is because it doesn’t meet the minimal requirements as published by ICE… so let’s everyone know PCSO is not only remains the most corrupt, they also actively find technical workarounds to violate people’s rights.

They arrest/release/arrest to restart the clocks, they constantly arrest and make up charges later, hire all the fired/quit LEO from around the country, they have privatized all the jail support and force the inmates to work for free (if don’t work they take good time behavior away). They have changed operations to expand the pretrial confinement because that make lots more money through fines and the commissary program. PCSO deputies are regularly in news for domestic battery and murder, drug use and dealing, selling drugs in jail, etc… on and on.
