AskFlorida Adult Co-ed Soccer Leagues in Orlando

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for Co-ed or female soccer leagues. My skill level is very much amateur. I love the sport and play from time to time, but I haven't played on a team since I was younger. I'm looking to join a league while I'm in my gap year. Thanks!

TW: CSAM and bestiality.

A lot of counties instituted the Guardians program after the MSD massacre but when it really took off was after DeSantis transgender panic in schools bringing in people with almost no training and obviously background checks being a joke.

AskFlorida Birthday Plan Help

I'm turning 40 in January. I've lived in Florida since 1998, and I have lived in Citrus County, Orlando and Gainesville. I've been to St. Augustine A LOT, Daytona, Tarpon Springs, St. Pete, Jacksonville, don't like Tampa. I went to Boynton Beach with my ex and that was cool but that's mostly residential. I went to Miami a few times but didnt get to see much nature and I'm not sure if there IS much to see, I also never go to go to Miami Beach so I'm not sure how that is either. My main interests are going on trails, seeing wildlife, and I love coffee snacks and cats.

I'm eyeing the Everglades, because I've never been there, but St Marks preserve in Tallahassee looks cool, too. I am trying to see nature and wildlife I can't see normally at home here in Gainesville. We thought about doing the everglades AND key west, but it's just so much driving.

I just wanted to see on here if anyone had suggestions for other locations to check out that I may have missed and could consider.

Thanks!!

AskFlorida Is it really that easy to be baker acted in Florida?

251 Upvotes

As I understand it, the baker law says that anyone who’s a danger to themselves can be locked up in a hospital for up to 72 hours and sometimes more if a judge approves. Based on how the law is written and the horror stories I’ve heard, it seems like all it takes to get baker acted is something as simple as someone who hates me calling the police and saying I’m suicidal even though I never said that, just so that the police show up at my door and take me away in handcuffs to a hospital against my will. I’m not saying I would ever do this to someone, but it seems like the perfect way to get revenge against an ex spouse or ex friend or anyone who wronged you, and given that there’s millions of people in Florida, this kind of scenario doesn’t seem very far fetched.

Is the baker act as simple as I’m describing or is there more to the law that I’m missing?

AskFlorida How was it growing up in Florida in the early 2000’s?

46 Upvotes

Hello Floridians! I am planning on writing a piece of work that happens to be heavily inspired or based on the era of the 2000’s in Florida. I wanted to ask about how it was back then and get some insight as you know the internet can say how it was back then but in some different places in the state experienced it slightly differently. I believe If I’m writing something heavily inspired by a state and time I’d like to get it as accurate as possible as I don’t want to do you guys injustice. But to put it simply, what was in at the time? Fashion wise and what were the things that were in? Where was the place to go? What was it like both in the city and or rural areas? Hair wise how did people wear their hair? Etc. Etc. Anything would be well appreciated! Please if you are whimsy please humor me a bit!
