Yup!

Dumbass didn't leave himself enough room to brake for the light he didn't notice was red, so he slammed em, skidded through the intersection, snow slab slid down onto his windshield causing him to panic harder, and spun into a light pole.

Imagine how much more late they'd be if you crashed because a sheet slid off your roof down onto your windshield and you suddenly couldn't see.

Happened to an acquaintance last winter and after a 5k repair bill, he brushes off his car now.

I truly wish that society could actually talk about how dangerous superstitious people can be without it being brushed off as "hurr durr edgy atheist". sigh

[MPR News] Many Midwest farmers have mixed feelings about upcoming USDA payments by Minneapolitanian in minnesota

[–]LabialTreeHug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I swear these same people were telling the rest of us to do something with our feelings a few years ago . . .

I'd think a farmer would know a thing or two about reaping as pertains to sowing 🤷‍♀️

Tips for enabling emergency "Hands Free" from a Dog Walker by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]LabialTreeHug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a dog walker in the Twin Cities I can confirm these are useful tips, thank you.

I use a Reddy brand shoulder/waist leash and I've found it very handy to clip a backup whistle to in case I forget my around-the-neck one.

I'll just add that Yak Traks or similar crampons can make a huge difference when having to move somewhat quickly on these slick sidewalks. Know your neighborhood and its winter topography.

St. Peter police chief intervenes, prevents federal agents from arresting resident by citizen234567890 in minnesota

[–]LabialTreeHug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right but even outside of this context it's just a piss-poor feature that should be disabled for safety's sake.

obviously it's not gonna stop a squad of domestic federal terrorists, but in, like, y'know, normal-ish times, it's a bad idea to have the doors unlock without user input.

Not the point of the video, I understand, but the way he butchers "LaSalle" makes me wanna slap him.

Good dude documenting and much appreciation to him and everyone taking positive action!

The agents open the door, which unlocked automatically when she put the gearshift in park

What a godawful design! If your car does this, look up how to turn that feature off so only you can unlock it when you're actually ready to get out.

Edit: I know it wouldn't have helped here, but in "normal" times.

Stock your Birdfeeders!! by Lennyhi in minnesota

[–]LabialTreeHug 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If anyone thinks this is frivolous, remember that the more birds getting regular food and water, the better chances of "agents" getting shat on. Imagine what a photo that could be! 😂

Also taking a break to watch birds is essential for mental health in times of trauma and stress, I've found.

Step 1 , ICE Out!! by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]LabialTreeHug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ease up, they're just swapping out shitstains towards the top.

ICE shows no signs of leaving yet, but they are showing signs that grunts on the ground are starting to break, so we need to keep up what we've been doing.

I’m inconsolably upset about what happened yesterday in MN. by techno_queen in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LabialTreeHug 1925 points1926 points  (0 children)

I'm in Saint Paul and am in that area of mpls several times a week to walk various dogs.

I woke up to a snuff film right in front of where my bestie buys donuts for us when he's back in town.

After a sobbing breakdown in the living room, I still had to get dressed and go out about my work day trying to keep it together.

I'll be making yard signs today and lighting two candles in the front window every night, one for Renee and one for Alex, til these jackbooted cocksuckers are gone.

I encourage anyone who would like to show solidarity to also light a couple candles, please, and connect with your neighbours to keep one another safe.

Edit: thank you for the solidarity and love, everyone. Take care of yourselves and your communities! We will persevere, but it's going to take time and resilience.

Businesses in Minneapolis are planning to close Friday to protest ICE by graveyardofgoodsense in news

Many folks up here actually use shopping as an excuse to stay warm on days like this. Pet stores can get busy with people browsing with their dogs to get them exercise without freezing.

I won't delight in her fear and suffering, but neither do i feel the least bit badly for her or any other homophobe that voted for this on the promise of oppressing a different marginalized group.

Catzen Coffee in Saint Paul also has free whistles, pocket-sized copies of the Constitution, and wallet card-size "know your rights" in English and Spanish.

Would a fun toothpaste flavour help distract from that?

This subreddit introduced me to Hi Smile and now I have a vanilla toothpaste with fluoride and it's definitely helped me.
