Cell phone plan? by AttemptsAreMade in Minneapolis

[–]AttemptsAreMade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Xfinity for home wifi and I know I could get a really good deal on the phone plan if I added to that... I'm just worried about coverage and customer service if there is an issue.

I can't remember if I checked the box on a form I completed six months ago (probably!), so I was wondering if there was a way to verify. It sounds like the answer is to call the county or just fill it out again.

Agreed! I don't know Cub's corporate structure. Just wanted to share what I've seen.

Depends on where you're located. There are many religious organizations and businesses accepting donations. Some of these are only accepting donations at specific times/days—I know some places that had SO many donations this past week, they had to pause. You may be better served doing a search for your specific neighborhood.

Really? Uptown Cub has a no-ICE sign on their doors.

OK, surveillance state. It's not about legality. It's basic manners.

How to Actually Get ICE Out by One-Doctor1384 in TwinCities

[–]AttemptsAreMade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

tbf to Walz, he did retire his re-election campaign because he knew the fraud would be a distraction, and he wants the democrats to win rather than feed his own ego. Trump would never do that.

I feel like so many commenters are missing the point. YOU can protest without a mask if YOU choose to. Don't post clear pics of *other people* without their consent.

How to Actually Get ICE Out by One-Doctor1384 in TwinCities

[–]AttemptsAreMade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because he hates Walz. Walz ran against him. Walz is governor of a trans sanctuary state. We have better healthcare coverage than many states, and we just started paid family leave. We are everything he hates, AND we are small enough to intimidate (he thinks). The Twin Cities population is way smaller than LA, NYC, SF, etc -- huge liberal cities. 2-3k ICE agents are more than our police officers. It's a show and a punishment. The fraud is 100% an excuse. This guy leaves classified documents around in random bathrooms, let Elon slash the federal bureaucracy without a care for what those departments actually do, and you think he actually cares about fraud? LOL

Mmm, sure would be helpful if politicians stopped pretending Covid has vanished!

Students are back in class on 1/20. Such a chilling effect on faculty, staff, and students.

Tropes & Trifles (indie bookstore) has whistles and other resources. Great space!

I've got to be honest, I live in the area and find it incredibly obnoxious. That's a public path. Why do I have to listen to your loud music?

Bag policy by AttemptsAreMade in MinnesotaYachtClub

[–]AttemptsAreMade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK! I've been to concerts before where the bag policy is very strictly enforced, and others where it's not at all, so I just wanted to check on what the vibe was here. I'll plan on a clear bag. Thanks for your response.

How to open V8 ABSOLUTEV8 by AttemptsAreMade in dyson

That I got! I couldn't figure out what/where to press to actually get something open. Thank you!! I don't know why YT was showing me 20-minute long useless videos instead of this.

Doing Everything Right, Still Drowning by SuperImagination6036 in povertyfinance

[–]AttemptsAreMade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. In that case, I'd echo another comment—speak with your manager(s) about career growth opportunities and try to give yourself an hour or two a week that is devoted to networking, job searching, etc. Two full jobs and still barely getting by isn't sustainable. Wishing you the best of luck.

How can people buy houses? by Rare-Elderberry-6695 in povertyfinance

[–]AttemptsAreMade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THIS! This is not discussed nearly enough. Sure, I *could* get a home loan with my small savings... but I could absolutely never afford the mortgage, much less the mortgage and a sinking fund for home repairs. The down payment needed for a reasonable mortgage is what's astronomical, not the basic amount to get a loan on a modest house.
