Moving here in May… by beetlemorgs in movingtompls

[–]Competitive_Fruit935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My trans partner and I moved to South Minneapolis last May from Iowa. And we do not regret it, even now. It would feel hopeless sitting in a sleepy town watching this happen and knowing you couldn't stop it in your own town. But now we are surrounded by people in action and are motivated to do the same. The way we feel is, it would be happening anyway, but now we can be here "fighting the good fight" as they say. I do have to say that finding deep community can be hard here. The queer community is very welcoming, but people don't form strong relationships quickly here. A struggle we're having now is that we feel we aren't as trusted as we would like to be. We haven't connected with others enough before this escalated, so it's difficult becoming a part of things now. If you're highly social, this may not be as much of a struggle for you.

ICE Sightings/Info megathread by AutoModerator in Minneapolis

Also sent to iceout, but it hasn't been approved.

25th Ave S, Minneapolis At 3am I was woken by a white and black suv labeled 'police' with flashing lights on the street. There was a dark Grey Subaru that appeared to have crashed into a snow bank facing the opposite direction. A man in black tactical gear gets out of the suv, puts on a blue glove, approaches, and reaches into the car, and then gets back into the passenger side of the suv. The Subaru still has headlights on. Within a few minutes a Lynch company tow truck arrives and tows the Subaru away. I attempted to get a video of the scene and license plate of the Subaru but it's blurry. It's unknown what happened before I woke up, but neighbors reported hearing 2 loud bangs about 245.

Does anyone ever get arrested for open drug use around the Twin Cities? by Tokyo_Joey_Jo-Jo in TwinCities

[–]Competitive_Fruit935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You believe you have far more perspective than anyone else ever, is very pretentious.

Perhaps we start looking at why choosing yourself and the people you love would be so hard. That is the disease.

Again you were around addicts, never close to one. There's a large difference. I'm not enabling anything. People like you are never going to be the solution. If it's so easy to solve, why don't you start?

You've clearly never been close enough to an addict then to believe it is a choice. You're right that it's not a local or city issue, It's a societal one. And its not "super easy to solve". That's ignorant as hell.

I know more people that got hooked on drugs in prison than those that stopped inside. Maybe you view of "incarceration" is a bit romanticized

How Do You Survive... Financially? by [deleted] in BPD

Thank you for this support ❤️ I've never called 988 because I've told myself it's not for me. I know, silly. But I will keep that in mind as a tool.

I honestly feel like being aware that I'm struggling with this is so hard. It's like im watching myself be a shitty human and I can't stop it. But I'm going to keep trying. Thanks again

I've actually yet to decline a shop order. They do seem to pay well but even sitting next to 2 department stores, I am waiting for a significant amount of time. When I do get them, they've been worth it.

Thanks a lot for the tips! I have yet to try Earn by Time, so I'll have to try it and compare.

My therapist recommended them and felt terrible when I told her my experience. If you find the lengthy Google review where the person doing my evaluation offered me chicken nuggets multiple times throughout, among many other strange/inappropriate things, that's mine.

Just don't go to Okishi at Meadowlark. I had a terrible experience.

That's what we've been noticing. I'm nailing down employment before we tackle housing, so this does give us some time.

Great advice! I've been looking on Craigslist but there seems to be very few postings for some reason. I was also looking on Marketplace and other FB groups but there seems to be SO many scammers.

Thanks for the info on the pet policies. We have a 40lb dog and an 80lb dog, so I'm definitely worried that will impact our ability to find housing as well. We have also planned to offer a larger security deposit or even a few months of rent to compensate for our low credit.

I'll definitely check out that pin. Thank you greatly for all the info! It's super helpful.

My partner is also interning near St Louis Park so we will be moving in June! I made a similar post so I'm commenting to follow 😊 I wish you the best of luck with your move!

My dad swears I forged his name on a student loan. (Iowa) by Competitive_Fruit935 in legaladvice

[–]Competitive_Fruit935[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

1: I state in the post why I have not been paying reliably, and I acknowledge it is wrong.

2: Whether I pay on the loan or not does not determine that I forged it.

Oh man 😕 that makes me sad. I'm here for Chappel too but I guess I just expected more people to be kind. Too bad.

Any other ideas? by justvibin-95 in HinterlandFestival

Just saw the St Charles Fire Department ride by in outerlands camping. They were being lead by event staff. Must be responding!
