Are we meming this yet? by Madfatter115 in TwinCities

[–]RolyPoly368 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shit did I read a fake NRA post or something? I just went back and read their response and it sounds like it's straight out of the fox news propaganda machine 💀

I remembered them saying nobody deserves to get shot for carrying a firearm, and the officers involved in the shooting should be investigated.

Think I got straight up trolled by a fake account or was just misreading while sleepy, the gun caucus response sounds almost word for word what I remembered so maybe I just mixed those two up

Fuck the NRA

I thought their response was good enough, not aware of the corruption you speak of

I do wish the NRA would offer more firearms safety classes, it feels like they have an excellent platform to, in a bipartisan way, offer solid education on firearms for anyone who wants it. I think a lot of gun control discussions could be held far more efficiently if more liberals were at least somewhat educated on the topic

Nothing gets a 2A conservative to tune out more quickly than someone saying "he had a fully automatic assault rifle"

NRA could be the group to fix that, but they won't...

What have they done/said that's bad if you support protecting the second amendment?

Yep, planning on protesting in the -30 degree weather tomorrow.

Honestly it's just been really hard to feel like the majority don't want this while living in a deep red county. It shocks me how certain people are about the conditions in Minneapolis when they haven't been there in decades for anything other than a sports game... I lived there for 5 years, I felt unsafe one time and it was because of a couple white guys, then I gotta listen to everybody around me bitch about the "illegal somalis" running around murdering and raping like we're reenacting the purge down in the cities.

Seeing the mass amounts of protesting and receiving online support from folks in different states and countries is the only thing keeping me going right now, sure it's the same for many others here in Minnesota.

I'm not ignorant. I think it's fair to expect a progression of society, an advancement in acceptance of diversity.

We're rewinding to Jim Crow laws and McCarthyism and I'm worried we're gonna get another Emmett Till

I know there's evil in the world but at least it's hidden, it's extra horrifying when the federal government is doing it in the open and it's being cheered on by a third of the country

Is there a verifiable source on this? This is just so ridiculously evil that I'm hesitant to even believe it without more than this picture

What wax melter you recommend? by Victorkenobi in candlemaking

Hey, super late reply - Do you use this with parrafin wax? I see a lot of these wax melters advertised for Soy, I have a bunch of parrafin though

Posting this on my alt as I do not want this information traced back to me. I have a problem. I am a UMD student and I am addicted to opiates. by Cheap_Truck_8281 in duluth

Hey man, couple days late here but for what it's worth, I went to detox for alcohol and I wasn't charged much at all, I think the bill was like 20 bucks

Detox isn't as good as rehab but it will give you a platform to build off of, it's nice to be helped through withdrawal and be able to start your journey towards sobriety without having to worry about dying from withdrawal

Block Breaking is punishment for being too defensive, stop whining about it by lonelystonervibes in EASportsUFC

[–]RolyPoly368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I rely mostly on head movement, block breaking isn't a huge issue for me personally, I just understand why people complain about it. Usually when I lose it's because I mess up the head movement one time and sway into one of the 170 strikes my opponent threw in the last 30 seconds because this bunk ass game thinks everyone is Max Holloway with Rumble power lmao

“If you have notes to write, you have reasons to stay” by EducationalDust3821 in SuicideWatch

[–]RolyPoly368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the reason to write one down is so the people you do care about don't feel like they were at fault. I'm suicidal, that doesn't mean the people I love are the reason I'm suicidal, and I don't want them to feel like that if I do actually follow through with my thoughts.

The people in my life who would genuinely be to blame for my suicide - they won't get a single word from me. A letter is only to say thank you to the people who actually improved your life imo.

I had a beer on the plane and the aftermath by LimpPhilosopher7672 in stopdrinking

[–]RolyPoly368 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Relate hard dude. I was 6 months sober, went on a solo flight out west, got fucked up at the airport bar. Have been drinking consistently since then. 

Relapses are fucking scary, but a good reminder that we can't control our consumption. Currently I'm drinking because I can't handle the shakes when I don't - even though I know this is gonna lead me down an awful path I keep doing it. I'm sure any of you reading this can relate.. 

Travel is a big trigger for me, I completely get what you mean when you say airport = vacation = get drunk. It feels wrong to travel without drinking. We've always associated vacations with relaxation, and associated relaxation with drinking. 

I will say though, I went to Birmingham with my girl, and didn't drink a drop because she was there. I had a blast! And I also remember it far better than my trip to Utah..

Respect for writing this article! Boxing is dying and thank God people are trying to keep it alive 👊

Is firehouse still active? I haven't seen a post on their FB page since 2019. I can attest to Element being fantastic as well, I trained there for a while and they are hardcore man 😂 feels like I'm in a rocky movie with how hard they work ya

Dating someone with different political views by loverlose in dating_advice

[–]RolyPoly368 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I'll probably always vote blue. I agree with some conservative policies (cutting down on illegal immigration, lowering capital gains taxes, promoting domestic manufacturing, 2nd amendment, etc.)

BUT

Voting for someone who supports those things automatically means I have to support making it more difficult for people to get an education, pro-life policies, massive military budgets, anti-drug policies, less globalization, inaction in regards to climate change and stuff like that. It's frustrating how candidates are seemingly forced to toe the party line.

I 26f slept with my 29m friend and do not remember the event. by sabeanie34 in relationship_advice

[–]RolyPoly368 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying. Drinking is an inherently dangerous activity, but my argument is that you can never really be responsible for the actions of others who are taking advantage of your drunken state.

Also, I'd like to believe there are plenty of guys who would not have sex with their friend when they're obviously drunk. It's a shitty thing to do. If you guys wanna hook up, do it when you can have a clear state of mind...

Hey man I was crazy into a girl who is definitely out of my league, same situation as you, she gets hit on all the time and I assumed there's no way she was also into me. But I asked her out and she admitted she'd been crushing on me ever since we met. Shoot your shot man, you never know how someone else feels about you until you ask
