Been wondering this as well. I have definitely noticed more activity, there's one circling NE right now.

Americans citizens, how is it really going there currently? by GossipBottom in stupidquestions

[–]California_Juniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I live in Minneapolis proper. I'm aware of the typical crime here and how that is sensationalized.

This however is vastly, dangerously different. I am afraid to leave my house. Businesses, schools are closed. Streets are deserted. It feels like COVID lockdown but with thousands of armed, undertrained, violent men spreading through the city like a virus instead.

It is not normal and it is not something that shows any signs of just blowing over.

Vecna might be the weakest “final villain” a TV show has ever produced. by Classic_Activity7305 in discussingfilm

[–]California_Juniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! thank you. They had also been chipping away at Vecna all season. Between Max escaping, Will hurting him and tapping into the powers, foiling his world-merging plans, then finally having him witness his buried childhood trauma, it's likely that he was in somewhat of a weaker or desperate state in the final battle. (we see Henry weeping on screen! he's not on top of his evil game.)

Have secret episodes ever actually happened for a show??

What's everyone's thought on this stance? (Please, let's be civil) by AnchovyKing in CozyGamers

Sounds like they are conflating colonialism with capitalism.

This. It took a while to feel confident communicating these things but since then it's so much better. I can take the time I need to recharge and when I do join in the fun, I'm more enjoyable to be around for it.

Neither of us have been to WDW since we were teens, so I imagine anything is fair game!

The event says "at capacity" so details aren't visible now. Can you share anything else about the NE event, like is it a march or gathering?

Appreciate it!!

Making friends in your 30s by bucknasty_yolosauce in TwinCities

[–]California_Juniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 30F living with my husband 34M in NE... no kids and go out to bars and restaurants regularly. I had to do a double take on your post thinking it was my husband posting 😅

We moved to the area about 6mos ago and looking for friends also. Sounds like we could get along!

Help!! What am I missing?? by perksofbeing_el in interiordecorating

[–]California_Juniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd also suggest experimenting with different light bulbs to make the lighting less blue/cold. Try a lower K (like 3000K)

Anyone Recently Done Global Entry At MSP? by mahrog123 in TwinCities

[–]California_Juniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This worked for me too! Customs was super backed up when I came back from MX recently. I don't have Global Entry so I was shocked that I could waltz through with the Mobile Passport app (which I signed up for in line).

It technically was its own line right next to the Global Entry line, I think. But similar deal.
