"A lot of people probably don’t want to celebrate our nation right now, and we can’t blame them. When there is so much division, hate and unrest, why on earth would you want to have a party celebrating any of it?" the statement began.

    If it's any consolation the whole of Florida will be drowning inside 20 years

      Not going to lie, there is a part of me that looks forward to coming back to my home town on a ruins boat tour as an old man and at least being happy that this hellish place no longer exists

          I think it’s because I grew up in one of the places with the highest concentrations of manatees in the world and hate my hometown and everything associated with it, but I fucking hate manatees. Manatees are the answer to the question “What if dolphins sucked and were boring”

        I know it’s just my inherent hatred for this awful place having grown up here, but Florida nature is my least favorite natural environment on earth, and there are so few things here that I would care if it was absolutely destroyed.

        It’s all flat sandy pine forests and gross swamps, all with the worst swarms of mosquitos you’ve ever seen in your life. 75% of the year it’s too hot and humid to go outside for more than 5 minutes. I guess it’s interesting that we have a lot of gators but they live other places too, and they’re not exactly endangered. And even they don’t do much interesting, you just occasionally see one next to a lake.
