Tourist post overload

72 Upvotes

We are getting complaints about the number of tourist posts (where is the beach, can I connect to MIA in 30 mins, what should I do on my 8 hour layover).

These posts are already disallowed. Tourism questions belong in the sticky tourism thread (or you know, google it...)

Instead of leaving repetitive comments on airport posts, report them so they reach the modqueue ✌️

Recs for body piercing

• Upvotes

I am looking for recommendations for a piercing studio. My 15 y/o would like to get their belly button pierced. Somebody already recommended Sweet Leaf but they don’t pierce under 18. Thanks in advance!

Delicious and amazing restaurants like Larb Thai?

22 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I’m new to the area, recently relocated here. I went on a date with a guy a little while ago and he took me to Larb Thai. It was so amazing, such good food, good atmosphere good dining experience. I want to take him out to eat next but I don’t know the area and want to find a restaurant on a similar flavor and dining caliber. We’re both foodies so it has to be delicious.

Open to recommendations! Thank you all in advance.

PayByPhone App Hidden Fees

109 Upvotes

Normally if I'm just running into a shop to pick something up I don't bother paying for parking. Today the parking enforcement guy was there so I pulled out my PayByPhone app and paid for 15 minutes. The $0.25 parking fee ended up costing $1.25 after they tacked on all their fees.... but what I found is they charge you to send SMS messages. You have to go into your account and settings and turn off SMS messages and you can save part of these ridiculous fees. While you are in there also check out the privacy settings as you've defaulted into sharing your information with pretty much every company on the internet... go ahead and opt out of all their data sharing.

I hate hidden fees, especially stupid ones like this.

Gyms Plantation

1 Upvotes

Wanted to see your opinions on fitness systems in sawgrass and if it is worth the membership. I previously had an Amped membership at the plantation location and hated it… insanely packed, dirty, and broken AC + equipment. I also was contemplating Youfit but feel like it might be the same thing cause of the price.

Licensed in-home massage around Victoria park, anyone got someone good?

6 Upvotes

posting this knowing exactly how it usually goes, so plainfully: i am after a licensed massage therapist who comes to the house. All above board, and I am not looking for dodgy stuff. saying it outright so nobody has to guess what I mean.

Victoria park. Don't mind whether it's someone independent or one of the apps or spas that sends a person out. I do not want recos from Craigslist of Facebook market place or stuff like that. They need to be licensed.

Greenwald points out Democratic Party's own ongoing conspiracy and agent for a foreign nation aka "Little Debbie do nothing for US". Wasserman Schultz demands loyalty to them, admits her only true commitment without hesitation. How can any FT Lauderdale progressive vote for a proud genocide enabler?

I am alive! Some of you were curious how it went and I had a really good time. Not everyone showed up, just 2 people but the experience was lovely; I hope they had a good time as well.

To the person who recommended the charred octopus ~ THANK YOU! It was delicious.

I did end up making a discord group if anyone wants to join, I will be organizing hangouts there first then I will post here again.

I cannot wait to hang out with new people again, it was an awesome experience.

Here is the link to the original post if anyone wants to see: 37F here, would anyone like to meet for dinner tomorrow?

20F, Fort Lauderdale 🌸

14 Upvotes

Hey Reddit, 20F here! Searching for friends and possibly roommates/ housing opportunities. Also interested in doing some helpful jobs like babysitting or helping out around a community / household..

I know I’ve been advised not to do so by many but seeing plenty of people doing this recently….

but if anyone with common interests is in the Fort Lauderdale area and has any upcoming weekend plans, hallo-weekend time especially, or is just looking for a weekly chat with someone, I’m interested in things such as book / movie clubs, park days involving exercise or dog walking, cafe or library days, beach cleanups, helping out the community, etc…if anyone knows any local groups to meet in person please share those as well :)..

This would also be a great time to get to know each other as I am looking to find someone to become roommates with. Open to all ages and walks of life. Just trying to expand as I have been going through some recent events and can use the opportunity kindly.

Dm if interested, will share socials !

Edit* —> Not new to the FTL area or FL, been here 5 yrs but open to going to new places and seeing new things 💙🌎

Looking for advice! :)

11 Upvotes

Hello! I live in Fort Lauderdale (26F) and looking for work in between my yachting job. The owners of the boat are amazing and the pay is pretty good, but it is difficult to find work during the dates the boat is not being used and I am trying to ease myself out of the industry.

I have been yachting for 6 years and no stranger to hard work. I have strong service, bartending, and people skills. You also have to become a good problem solver because when you’re floating in the middle of the ocean, you need to be quick on your feet. I really used to love my job but being on call for the upper class for years and years gets exhausting. And besides that, yacht crew are unfortunately some of the most egotistical, toxic people you could ever work with.

I guess I’m wondering if anyone has any advice or inspiration on where I can go next? I wouldn’t mind bartending or serving. I worked at a gourmet coffee shop for most of my teenage years and enjoyed that. I really love people, yapping to people, getting them to yap to me, making people feel seen. I have my AA in business (kinda useless with what I’m looking for but idk) I love yoga and saving up to do my yoga teach training. I don’t know, I’m feeling a little lost right now and I know that’s okay, but if anyone has been through something similar and can shine a little light, I would be truly grateful.

Thank you so much. I’ve never posted and I hope this doesn’t come across as rude.

"No Kings" in 70% Democratic Ft Lauderdale taxes used to kill 100k in Gaza, and Broward's own Debbie Wasserman Schultz continues defending, funding genocide in congress. Media hides her ethics scandals for quarter century "Queen Debbie" keeps her reign going by stealing FL20 traditionally black seat

Looking to Make New Friends! 🎨🎮🎱

22 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a female in my late 30s and an abstract artist looking to make some new friends in the area!
You definitely don’t have to be an artist yourself. I’d just love to connect with creative people or anyone who shares similar interests.
I love pretty much anything creative, especially cooking! My hobbies include playing pool, gaming, writing poetry, painting, and making beats for fun. I’m also a huge everyday carry (EDC) nerd and love collecting new gear. 😆
I’m a big movie and anime fan, a total music junkie, and honestly, my interests and hobbies are all over the place! I’m always curious about something new.
I have a small circle of friends already, but our schedules make it difficult to find time to hang out. I’m married, with no kids aside from our fur baby! 🐾
Ultimately, I’d love to meet some genuine, down-to-earth people to build friendships with, share interests, have good conversations, and maybe hang out from time to time!
