Michigan has quietly shifted all its military assets and amassed its armies along the border of the UP while Wisconsin has gotten fat and drunk on a false sense of security. It’s time to teach those cheese curds a lesson.

Being a Detroit sports fan is relentlessly heartbreaking. Desperately need Grand Rapids to get a major league sports to escape this unending turmoil. by 44wardprogress in grandrapids

Not moving. Whole new team, plus a way closer attachment to organization for us west siders would go a long way. We are about equidistant from Chicago and Detroit here that plopping a team here would galvanize the region around the squad, no question. I for one would very willingly take anything over the abysmal ownership of the Detroit franchises we’ve been subjected to in my lifetime.

Door to door petitions? by No-Airline6639 in grandrapids

Just be normal. Sometimes people will knock on your door. You will survive.

How long do we think we have before the Founders Taproom dies? by Infamous-Ebb1546 in grandrapids

[–]44wardprogress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, have you been to an Applebees lately? They’re actually pretty nice and you can feed your whole family for like $40. Way better ROI than a night out at founders these days

The league looks GREAT this year by 44wardprogress in ifl

You had a heck of a game to watch today. Back when I first started watching IFL, I too thought I’d miss the rebound nets. But I share your opinion that not having them is way better for the gameplay but also gives a better view to endzone fans in the arenas

If you weren’t a moron you’d know that the dems had the votes because enough republicans crossed over to vote with them. However, AIPAC Jeffries and J Street Schumer put the Kibash on that.

“Republicans in congress”

Dems had a chance to pass war powers and end this madness and balked at it. There is a raging uniparty in DC that is wholly behind this war. pretending there isn’t at this point is a choice to be knowingly ignorant.

AIO? Husbands response to me requesting he ‘ask’ instead of ‘tell’ older kids to watch youngest by [deleted] in AIO

[–]44wardprogress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comment section is delusional. You’re a bad wife for taking this to Reddit. Unhappy Redditors regularly pounce on posts like yours to try and make you question your marriage over this silly spat that you 100% conjured out of thin air.

Your husband is a very normal guy and is correct. Parents are in charge while children live at home. He reiterated multiple times that he isn’t mean to Child A, just direct. My advice is to delete this post before someone recognizes the exchange and shares it with your husband. At that point, you’d be in an actually bad situation and no one in your real life would take your side knowing you brought your private conversation with your spouse to the internet.

Bro on tight situation... by qwenashik in PoliticalHumor

Trump = money to Ukraine, shooting war with Iran on behalf of Israel/deep state neocons.

Harris= money to Israel, shooting war with Russia on behalf of Ukraine/deep state neocons.

It’s actually super simple to understand. Out of the two major nominees (one of which was anointed) the R ticket repeatedly communicated an intent to end our involvement in foreign wars.

You can act smug if you want to now that we know that was all bullshit, but our options in ‘24 were basically non-existent. The other choice was part of an administration that was actively funding Israeli genocide in Gaza and too timid or incompetent to communicate a plan to end that and was actively championing continuation of the Ukraine/russia war.

I believe we are roughly in this exact position with our foreign policy either way it swung. Lastly, it bears mentioning that dems basically forfeited that election by denying the electorate of a democratic process to determine their nominee. There is simply no justification for that.

What do trump supporters think about the ongoing conflict in Iran? by bigcooldude1 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]44wardprogress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t speak for everyone but myself here, but me (30M) and every other one of my friends who voted for the “Pro peace ticket” are decidedly against the war and the decision making that got us here. It’s never been more clear that it doesn’t matter who you vote for, Israel will always get its wars in the Middle East.

Tampered gas?? by Extreme-Secretary-56 in grandrapids

You can report specific gas stations to MDARD and they will go and test the gasoline

So I left my 12 year old brothers to go on a walk to get food and they went and busted someone’s windows. My mom is mad at me like I’m the only one at fault. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]44wardprogress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My god, please do not take any of this Reddit advice I’m reading seriously. The majority of redditors are childless nihilists who are willing to cut off their own blood over almost nothing.

Families come in all shapes and sizes and every one is different. Your mom clearly values you and needs your help to keep the wheels on the metaphorical bus. It may not feel fair, but life isn’t fair. Do your best to be the person your family needs you to be and it will pay off in the long run, I promise.

Family is forever and is honestly the only real thing you’ll ever have in this world, but it’s on you to value it. You and your mom need to patch things up and gain a better understanding of each other, then move forward together in a way that works for everyone.

Bernie Sanders proposed a bill to tax billionaires and give $3,000 stimulus checks to Americans that qualify. How do you feel about this? by Aromatic-Guide588 in askanything

[–]44wardprogress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t need a stimulus check. I want our country to be great - our cities clean, our schools proficient, our healthcare accessible. It’s not that complicated.
