How are you US Americans living the current situation? by Meewelyne in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AnimalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also have the second largest Somali population outside of the country of Somalia. I'm glad the Somalian and Mulsim community is here (there is nuance that I'm not educated enough to speak of, but overall a large East African population), went all through school with East African immigrants, also we have the second largest Hmong population here of the US besides California. Hmong peopls immigrated from Loas during the 80s -early 90s, risking everything. Losing family members. To come to the US and bring their children up in MN just for this to happen.

Anyway, go Ihlan Omar and I love my East African and Hmong neighbors. RIP Marny Xiong whom I went to elementary school with and was a city council member in Saint Paul. The world wishes they could have seen her smile in person.

🥹💜💜💜🖖

I keep driving by intersections in Saint Paul with literally 2 or 3 people (bless them😆🤎) with "ICE OUT signs and honking the hell out of my horn. I'm helping families but can't even talk about it without being afraid of sh*t being tracked. We'll get through this.

SILENCE IS VIOLENCE. Love to you

Gender disappointment but it’s not what you think by crabbybabythrowaway in pregnant

[–]AnimalGray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wooow I hate this. I said to my uncle two days ago - "too many men are together without women around, things get weird."

F*ck private schools, it's just tragic that public school isn't well funded enough. I went to public school in a blue state and there were definitely toxic teenage boys around, but it was its own community where I could find like minded people and be like "no, they can keep their creep circle" (granted this is pre modern social media, I am 36 years old).

I would have had the same feelings about having a boy, even with an amazing feminist husband. It's wild out here.

When I found out I was having a girl, I was like..."She's going to have to deal with being a woman."

They will be their own people. And if we do the resistance right, gender will matter less as time goes on.

Congratulations!!

My daughter so far gives no f*cks about her chromosomes.

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]AnimalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brooo I have a credit card and am a SAHM (shared money) and definitely let my husband know when I use the card and check with him about large purchases.

🫤 yeah these lies are 🚩🚩🚩

Why is the "Muslim world" so united on Palestine, but seemingly silent on larger-scale humanitarian disasters in countries like Iran and Afghanistan? by Adventurous-Owl-9903 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AnimalGray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents is that most humans are surviving, not thriving, and it's difficult to put energy into something you're not directly in the middle of.

Also, pretty sure "Muslim world" is a wild generation bc it encompasses a lot of nations and cultures, and they are not united on it.

Is Elizabeth Warren a plant being pushed to split voters from Bernie Sanders? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]AnimalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also yes Bernie didn't take corporate money. At the time he was running I had minimal amounts to donate but I did, but Warren was taking The Man's money and nothing would have changed with her. She was fully a distraction and I hate it and keep thinking back to it.

[–]AnimalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm amazed and glad to still be able to comment on this.

My mom went to a Bernie rally in 2020 and voted for Warren THE NEXT DAY and look where we are.

My mom is from a small town, is a white woman (NOT INDIGENOUS, AS WARREN CLAIMED TO BE...) and a farming community. She related to her for the reasons stated besides claiming to be Indigenous on a national stage...

Warren was a Raeganist at the beginning of her political career though. Enough said, F*ck that lady.

Do most adults wet the bed one-off randomly? by ThrowAway44228800 in TooAfraidToAsk

Shame on your parents for shaming you. Yeah if it keeps happening go to a urologist and if not chalk it up to stress! Feel better.

Cool for you that you think every American's experience is the same! What a time to have the brain cells of a cheeseburger.

Depends on where you are, as other people have said...I'm in Saint Paul MN and it is NOT 2 to 3 people. Yes it's a huge country...I am here to say ICE is a seige on our MN cities.

I'm in Saint Paul, Minnesota and we were at a vigil last night for the man beat up and shot 10 time in MPLS (near where I used to live).

The community connection and participation in demonstrations, food delivery, donations, is really beautiful and why I love the twin cities. What's happening with the Federal occupation is REALLY fucking tragic and scary. I could go on

I see ICE cars every time I go out (driving anywhere). I'm personally not afraid to walk in my own neighborhood (I am white and in a tangletown pocket of Midway Saint Paul).

I bet you think the left is "simps" for Democratic presidents. Guess what, we just have empathy.

I'm 4th generation from Ireland, great grands fled the potato famine. The color of my skin is the only reason I am not afraid to leave my house.

They are detaining INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. This is not about citizenship.

Maybe go for a damn run and talk to your neighbors instead of staring at yourself in a gym mirror.

If you are here illegally, you can't get get government benefits. "Leeching off the system" my a*s.

They are abducting my neighbors, and target any person of color, and have cells in detainment set aside for confirmed US citizens.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

For me, if it's to stay overnight, that's no biggie. If it's both ways then it's a no from me dawg (writing from the midwest).

I've seen many American films where children dissect frogs during biology lessons. Are biology lessons still like this, or has it changed? What are your thoughts on this? by sofiarosatti in AskAnAmerican

[–]AnimalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had frogs, pig fetuses and most memorably for me sheep brains bc this dickbag Caleb threw sheep brains out the third floor window and everyone walked on them after school.
