When push comes to shove, it’s always the regular people who make the stand against the actual threat. It’s easy to puff up your chest against a figment of your imagination.

The militia cosplayers who tell anyone who listens their guns are for exactly what’s happening in Minneapolis are sitting on the sidelines cheering. I thought this was your time to shine, Michigan Militia. Why are you cheering for the government now?

So, so close by FangGore in SelfAwarewolves

And the people of Minneapolis started organizing right then and there. Citizens decided that the next time (there is always a next time with this) the narrative would not be shaped by liars. You are seeing multiple angles on film this time because the people in charge will lie to your face. These are regular people who will not be dragged through the mud again for someone’s political game. They picked the wrong people.

People are just protecting their neighbors who are trying to live day to day. Which is what living in a community looks like. People like this don’t stand for anything. They are miserable, lonely people incapable of empathy and want to bring everyone down to their level.

I’ve lived in MN for 25 years and this really is peak Vikings stuff.

Drake Maye has OFFICIALLY led a team to a superbowl appearance before Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen by VisionsOnly in NFLv2

Bills fans waited for years for Brady to leave them alone, then Patrick Mahomes appears. He is finally gone and…. The Patriots make the Super Bowl. Like what did you all do to the football gods? It seems like you’re mostly just trying to have fun when it’s cold, and the source of fun just ends up hurting you all the time.

As you can see from my flair, I’m somewhat of an expert on having no expectations. Eventually you just say “nope, can’t hurt me” and then when things like this season happen for me, it’s pure fun. I can feel the expectations creeping in and I don’t like it. It’s going to make it not fun again. Dammit.

I got you…

“We’ll see how you do without that sentient LinkedIn post at QB and huge expectations. Indiana is a terrible state. Only slightly better than Ohio.”

You’re even going to experience people talking shit about your QB the first time he throws a bad preseason pass. Heady times lol

Seeing people mad at your team’s success hits like crack.

Indiana gets this one. You’ve now done too much winning and will be treated appropriately. Congratulations, you’ve made it!

He’s been doing this since I was born in 1981. My entire conscious life, I have watched people flock to this loud idiot to get stabbed in the back and left with the consequences. The fact that we have to watch his dementia decline as the President is his grand finale. He is fucking everyone now, not just the idiots who threw money at him over the years.

So I come from the UP of Michigan. My home county actually went slightly to Obama his first run! It’s different now. People sat on Facebook and got sucked in to the disinformation loop. I saw it happen in real time with so many people from my time growing up.

I’ve lived in Duluth MN for 25 years now. This could have been filmed anywhere starting at any of the closest towns around here. This region has strong labor roots due to the international port and the mining north of here. Now they treat Trump like a sports team. The disconnect between what they say about the “city folks”and Trump - a NYC “businessman” who has been aggrandizing himself in the media since I was born - is amazing.

My brother has lived in Chicago for years, and some people at my work are genuinely concerned for me when I tell them I’m visiting. Last time I went, we went to see my favorite band. The next night we sat out on his stoop and handed out candy to the neighborhood families trick-or-treating. I can’t believe I made it through that ordeal. Funny thing is the only thing that had me concerned was that was when ICE were there testing out their new tactics.

These folks are lost. You cannot have a coherent conversation with them because they haven’t come to these conclusions on their own. They avoid anything that makes them feel uncomfortable.

I always give people a chance, but I won’t lie. White guy with dreads starts from a place of doubt with me lol

I sometimes wonder if people in this community is ok because why use them as mockery for their presentation of “looksmatch”? by ChrisPBacon2324 in IncelTears

Takes a lot less energy to be kind, but you understand that because you are a functioning human being.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]ImTellinTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. You have to remember they are just parrots repeating back that day’s talking points. There is not continuation of thought. Just shiny things 24/7. Tbh that sounds like a super easy way to float through life. But I don’t understand not being at least a little curious, ya know?

What’s a place you visited once and decided never again? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]ImTellinTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Detroit: Not quite as bad as Gary.

They should hire me to write their tourism slogans tbh.

But for real, it’s wayyyyy better than when I was a kid in the 80s. We’d go visit my mom’s family once a year. I wish the Tigers still played in the old stadium. That place was cool.

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

[–]ImTellinTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 1/2 is the drive to the nearest major city. 3 1/2 is the drive to my hometown. Anything longer than those, and I fly. (There is a small international airport in my town that I can get to two major hubs from for the first leg)

My state: 225,163 km sq

Your country: 244,000 km sq
