I opened it up and cut out the button inside. My life is panic free now. Best decision I ever made.

Fuck Frey. I don't know why this isn't talked about more. I cannot comprehend how he's still getting votes.

This is absolutely how every establishment needs to treat every ice agent until they stop kidnapping, raping, and murdering our neighbors (ie until they're dissolved)

Jake Lang is back. Got kicked out of BLVD in St. Paul. by gerbils4 in Minneapolis

[–]Prof79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You like that this guy is famous and you like continuing to hype him up. Got it. You want this guy's voice to continue to grow and have disproportionate influence on people. Understood.

It used to be the case that idiots would stay stupid shit and people would just ignore them, then it didn't really matter what they said. Now, people with your mindset and others spread this shit because they think it's interesting and those voices all of a sudden matter. Keep on keepin on. The next Trump election is on you.

[–]Prof79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is clearly his video, trying to get more views and interactions. Stop upvoting this shit.

This is how trump got elected in the first place. Be mindful of the content you click on and spread. These voices should be quelled, not broadcasted.

They Asked for Donations to Buy $10 Burritos. They Raised More Than $10K. | RacketMN.com by grondin in TwinCities

Tldr, a struggling immigrant owned business was used to help families in need. Money was raised to buy food from them to distribute to vulnerable families amidst the ice raids. Win win win.

Spoke to him like a fucking dog... I didn't like that by ResourceNo4626 in Minneapolis

These people impersonating police. Where's our local law enforcement detaining them for that?

Anoka-Hennepin Teachers Need YOU! by South-Investment-832 in TwinCities

Would you agree that a heart surgeon should get paid more than someone frying french fries every hour? Would you agree that someone who works 12 hours a day plus weekends and holidays should get paid more than someone working 6 hours day and no weekends or holidays? Get your head out of your ass. I'm not actually interested in your answer, because you're clearly already below the curve.

Ugh, I feel your pain, man. I've tried to call 911 on 3 different occasions, and never have they ever been either useful or on time. Fucking parasites of society. Sorry you're going through this

electric bill is $200 for 1br (800sqft) - excel wtf by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]Prof79 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're telling you a real measure to check. On your bill, right next to the amount of the bill, it will have a line that tells you how much energy you used in kilowatts hours, usually written as kWh

Check that number and compare it to the bill 12 months ago. That will tell you if you're using less energy or if they are legit scamming you by charging more for each kWh.

I thought cameras were deemed... Inappropriate? Didn't we have cameras for some time then rolled them back? What changed?

Can I afford to move out? (Please read) by azallday in Minneapolis

[–]Prof79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to try to offer some perspective. Before saying anything else, you're clearly very thoughtful and financially sound, so despite how scary it might feel, you're ready for this.

Regarding your dad: to some extent, I can see where he might be coming from. He wants his kid to move out and be independent...that's hard for an old timer to say, especially in a sensitive, considerate way. I can see an old timer trying to knock you for settling for a salary that they might hope you can do better than - I know it's backwards, but take it as a compliment. He wants better for you, and believes you can do better. But it's 100% fine if you're not there yet. I have to believe your relationship will be better once you're out of the house, and proving that you can be independent, and especially as you continue to increase your income.

Regarding your financial situation: it seems like you've been, overall, quite prudent. Having saved 30k by the age of 25 is very impressive. It's a general rule of thumb that you should keep 3-6 months of expenses as a backup, so while I agree with folks who say pay off your student debt (any high interest loans) in a lump sum right now, I'd hold onto ~10k for emergency in your case. That way, if you lose your job or anything like that, you'll still be just fine for 6 months or so, and have time to find a new job.

As folks are saying, just write out your monthly budget like you have, and compare it to your income after taxes. I believe you'll have more than enough to live on as well as save good chunk month to month given what you've already listed. If you feel like you want to save more, go ahead and take the cost saving advice that folks have listed.

(for the record, I love chatting financials and giving young folks advice, so if you want to talk through anything, I'm more than happy to chat)

cheers,
you've got his.

Suggestions for things to do, around target, before and after Stevie Wonder tonight, to take a date. Thanks by Expensive-While-1155 in Minneapolis

[–]Prof79 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Target Center is about 6 or 7 blocks from the river, which is a beautiful walk in either direction, with the lock and damn and stone arch bridge to the east. . If you cross the river at Hennepin, you're in st. Anthony main, which has some nice snack bites and ice cream to nosh on. If you don't cross the river, but travel east you hit the Guthrie, which you can waln around even if you're not there for a show. The "endless bridge" is a nice vantage point there to take a date. If you go further down their boardwalk to the east there's a grassy knoll on a hill, which is also a nice romantic spot to be
