When I say that all the cute guys and gym bros and finance types are in my DM I mean it but they often don’t even know how to have a conversation. When I’m out and about I see these same losers staring at me while with their wives and girlfriends and you know what I’m over it . Men of Miami want the insecure girls and I just can’t play those games . So forget Pilates I’m going to eat pizza and buy a cat and be happy and fat lmao . Enjoy

Amid the bustle of travelers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport was a family holding back tears. 

Magdalena Jimenez Juan sat with her four children, ages 15-31, and a family friend. Each waited silently until it was their turn to say goodbye. Each hug freed them to cry. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement ordered her to board a deportation flight to Guatemala on Aug. 27 after 18 years of permitting her to live in the United States. It may be years until she sees her children again, whose fate is uncertain. 

Taking them with her is out of the question, the family said. Sons Yoni, 18, and Rafa, 31, share a rare genetic neurological disorder. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease damages the peripheral nerves in their limbs, reducing their strength and sensory function over time. Yoni also has scoliosis and is deaf in one ear, so Rafa does most of the talking on his behalf. 

“Caring for him and his brother is a full-time job,” Magdalena said in Spanish. “It would be even harder to care for them in Guatemala.” 

❤️ LOVING HOME NEEDED FOR TWO SWEET DOGS ❤️

A lady I know is looking for a loving, safe, and permanent home for these two beautiful dogs. 🐾 They are very special dogs who deserve a family that will love and care for them for the rest of their lives.

It was a very difficult decision for her to remove them so please don't criticize.

I would take them but I myself have a senior kitty at home who doesn't do well with dogs.

🙏 We would love to keep them together if possible, as they are bonded and have each other.

We are looking for a responsible adopter who is committed to providing a loving, safe, forever home. Please do not contact if you are not prepared for the responsibility of caring for a dog long-term.

If you or someone you know may be the right person for them, please send me a private message for more information, photos, and adoption details.

Please share — the right person may be one share away. ❤️🐾

I know a lot of people here criticize the dating scene and the stereotypes surrounding Miami, which is actually why I wanted to ask.
I’m mainly curious about how things work in real life and whether speaking Spanish fluently makes a meaningful difference.

For some background, I’m French and I’ve been living in Colombia for several years. I visited Miami for three days last year, but that was obviously way too short to really get a feel for the city.

I’m planning to come back soon. I really enjoyed the vibe, and I found the idea of being in the US while speaking Spanish and meeting Latinos from all over the place pretty amazing, even though I know that aspect of Miami can annoy some people.

I’m not desperately looking for dates
that’s definitely not my main goal.
I really enjoy spontaneous interactions in real life, (something that’s much more common here in Colombia than in Paris, where people tend to be colder) going out and discovering places that aren’t the usual tourist spots.
I actually prefer that to social media and dating apps, which I find completely messed up and unbalanced for all sorts of reasons even though it can be quicker and easier to meet people that way.

I’d just like to hear your perspective, because I know very little about your city and I assume the social and dating dynamics are probably quite different from what I’m used to.

I have a couple of businesses in Brazil and I'm wondering if there is any Brazilian in this sub with a business in Miami or Florida in general. I have some questions about the differences between running a business in Brazil vs in the US, specifically Florida since I'm planning on opening my next business (hair treatment clinic) in Florida.

Do you know of any farms or shops that sell fresh sunflowers?

Not the decorative variant (big yellow petals) but instead one of those shown in the pic.

Hey Miami,

I'll be in town next week and desperately trying to remember this restaurant with the best fried fish I ever had back in 2021 in south beach. The restaurant had old school heinz glass bottles and didn't look updated since the 80s but that fish was the best I ever had!

Please help this newly married couple find it!

I know many of you are looking to buy soon lol

I live it happens starting at 2 AM when everybody gets off work or the bars close. I'm 25 floors up and it sounds like someone's knocking on my door! At this point, it's making the city ridiculous to try to get any sleep in lol

SUCKS!

Okay hyper specific ask but I GOTTA know.

I’m SoFlo born and raised and for the majority of my life it’s really generic greasy Chinese food once every 3 months (family is very health conscious so we only eat out during emergency plan cancellations) from a takeout place that probably breaks no less than 10 health code violations. I moved out to the Midwest and had a REAL Chinese restaurant within a 20 minute walk of me. It was my first time having real, quality Chinese food: first time having scallion pancakes, first time having egg rolls that didn’t ooze menacingly, and (most importantly) first time having Black Pepper Chicken.

The tender yet firm fried chicken, dusted in black pepper. The light umami sauce that soaked into the rice to spread the flavor further. The crisp, fresh bell peppers that gave a delight snap of texture to the meal. For someone who had a VERY limited palette, it was like being sober my whole life then suddenly being exposed to every narcotic on the market. I GOTTA HAVE MORE.

Thing is, family has brought me back home to the Miami suburbs, and so my access to my holy ambrosia has been cut off. I need to find something to replace it, and so I’m desperately reaching out to folks here. Anywhere in Miami is is fine, but if you know of restaurants all the way up to Sunrise (it’s on the way to work) it’s still great. Even if nothing comes of this, I’ll take whatever recommendations you’ve got.

(I had to steal this photo off facebook since I don’t have my own. Every time I got some Black Pepper Chicken I’d have eaten it all before I remember to snap a photo.)

Graduated from FIU a month back. Spent most of my life just studying, never made too many friends, so i naturally gravitated to nerdy/solo hobbies growing up. Watching anime, reading Manga and fantasy novels, playing and collecting yu-gi-oh cards, then so steam and gaming.

So now that im free from school for the foreseeable future. I want to use this chance to explore the nerd/alt scene in my city. Meet new people, make new friends. Enjoy my twenties as much as i can before life gets even crazier.

Any recommendations?

All ready been to arcade odyssey in kendall where I live. Also not unopposed to sporty stuff either, turns out moving your body is fun!

Need help! Asking the people from Miami and people that have gone clubbing there.

When I went to NYC with my girlfriends (typical blonde Swedish girls and mixed girls all very pretty) we could get on guestlists/tables for the box and other clubs even though I was a guy (albeit gay but maybe thats irrelevant hahah). We did the typical write on insta to promoters that were recommended by local friends.

So what is the situation in Miami? Cause its gonna be me as a guy + 3-5 girls. I dont wanna join the trip if its going to be a problem going out to clubs there and I dont know if the promoters are very different in Miami vs NYC???

Is it better or for worse?

I think for worse. One of my friends tried asking a girl out and on the first date she brought her kid she didn't tell him about and wanted him to pay her rent and phone bill.

He said he only wanted her because she was attractive but, he left only paying his food because he didn't want or even know about all that baggage and that she said it on the first date which was a major turn off for him. He said she should have eased it more on him little by little then if he would have meet the kid and then gotten along with her kid and her then he might have accepted her but it was too much for him at once.

He said that a lot of girls are being more picky especially the new ones moving into town. He said it might backfire on females because if there's more females than males and their looking for material things then they're just going to wind up being sugar babies, played, or side pieces.

I don't really agree with him but, what are your thoughts on this?

Mines and Mineral Concessions: 90% owned by U.S. interests. [1]
Public Utilities (Electricity and Telephones): 80% to 90% controlled by American firms. [1, 2]
Cattle Ranches: Nearly 100% (almost all major ranches were American-owned). [1, 2]
Oil Industry: Practically 100% (substantially controlled by American companies like Esso and Texaco in combination with Royal Dutch Shell). [1, 2, 3]
Public Railways: 50% owned by U.S. interests. [1, 2]
Sugar Production: 37% to 40% controlled by U.S. companies. While American companies owned up to 70% of sugar production in the 1930s, that number had dipped by 1958 as wealthy Cuban elites bought back several mills. However, U.S. corporations still owned about 40% of all Cuban sugar lands. [1, 2, 3]
Bank Deposits: 25% of all Cuban bank deposits were held in American financial institutions. [1]

When I see this I can understand why Castro gained the traction he did. It seems like Cuba didn’t own its own resources and Baptista was banking.

This is not saying Cuba is better off now ( probably because the U.S. is blocking anything from entering the country). Just a question.
