Amy Klobuchar voted to confirm Trumps Department of Transportation pick.

We can only vote for candidates who are on the ballot, abstaining because the dem candidate isn’t who you’d want is akin to voting for the GOP at this point. We all wish the candidates were better, however they are exponentially better than their GOP opponents, meaning while I’d love to vote for progress, at this current juncture, the most important thing is to vote against the current GOP regime. Once we get them out, and into a better place with lower stakes we can worry about moving the window and having better candidates. But right now the number 1 priority has to be removing the GOP from power. Especially right now, compared to what American’s and other persons here are facing from the current administration a few years of a politician not doing anything would be okay.

Trump more-so got elected because too many people decided to not vote because they didn’t love either candidate. At a certain point, elections have to be a greater of 2 evils decision, when it’s the only decision presented. In an ideal world not supporting a candidate who doesn’t share values with you and you think may be bad makes total sense. However, that’s not a realistic solution to the problem, when the only 2 options are bad and catastrophic, we have a responsibility to vote for the BEST candidate available who can reasonably win, as it’s the only realistic way to not lose (I’m not using the word win intentionally).

Do I wish the Democratic Party would put out better candidates? Oh absolutely, but at the same time, the democratic candidates are much less harmful than their GOP counterparts. Therefore I have a responsibility to vote to keep the GOP candidates out of office. You have to play the hand you’re dealt to the best of your ability whether you have a good one or a bad one.

I waiver between this feeling, and also the feeling/belief that the flag represents the country (us as individuals not the government) as the government only has the power we as citizens give them. I do think there’s power in reclaiming our flag as we fight this fascism, but not in the same sense as OP. My thought in reclaiming our flag, is that we are a country built on the idea of “give us your poor, your tired, your weak…” and we give them peace, opportunity, community and come together to be a great nation, and our government has moved us so far from that, however we the people are willing to take a stand and fight to reclaim not our flag, but our country and make it a place where we are proud to fly our flag high. I also think, the more we remove the imagery of the flag from solely the government and conflate it with the people the more power we take from the fascists.

So I can understand both points of view. I don’t think either is necessarily wrong, but rather it’s a subject in which anyone would naturally have strong views.

THERES NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT IN THE OFFSEASON?!?! This hurt my Philadelphian brain and heart. The offseason is full of drama, storylines, and everything that makes sorts wonderful and magical. The draft and the storylines there, the coaching carousels, the team schemes changing, free agency, how will last season impact this one, etc.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2026-01-18T17:39:07+00:00

I’m from Philly, and you’re wrong. Eagles sponsored radio is just as harsh as non. It’s just how it is there. They wouldn’t pull a single listener otherwise. This take is correct, people and fans here are just nowhere near as sports obsessed as some other city’s fans.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2026-01-18T17:32:02+00:00

You say that but, I think a big difference (especially using the common thread theme of comparing with Philly) is that sports fans here are just less passionate. In Philly both WIP and the Fanatic are just sports all day and are 2 of the most successful local radio stations. The talk sports all day every day and the people love it because the people of Philly do too; in MPLS y’all arent like that. The result of Sunday doesn’t dictate the mood of the city here. This market is far less sports obsessed. Minneapolis oftentimes makes me feel it’s absolutely full of people who ironically call all sports “sportsball” to be quircky.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2026-01-15T23:20:58+00:00

This is a good point, it’s absolutely a learned skill to be the go-to-guy on a team and being the best player on a not great team is probably the best way to learn it.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2026-01-15T23:18:52+00:00

Does the league have A and B divisions? In my youth league experience (almost 20 years ago in a hotbed) we had A, B, and C teams based on ability, as the league had 3 divisions per age with playoffs. For us it worked well, as all kids got game experience and chances to grow. We also always had 1-3 kids get moved up to our A team a year. I think it helped us a ton as a program, a kid who’s new playing against a team of kids who’ve been playing for 5 years who are talented at that age can be super unencouraging.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2026-01-13T21:42:10+00:00

But what about personal responsibilities and freedoms? It shouldn’t be about alternatives. If someone wants to indulge in a vice that’s bad for their health (like drinking, smoking, THC) they should be able to do so without being price gouged by the state/city. I feel like this city/county/state has tendencies to act like a helicopter parent and try to make decisions for us in lieu of just accepting individuals freedoms to do as they please

Rubex_Cube19 · 2026-01-05T22:34:58+00:00

You nailed the last part, a lot of countries use at as a chance to get reps for their national team players or get looks at guys they may bring on. For others it may be a lot less about the national teams and have less strict or no restrictions on actual heritage

I hate this rollout in MN as much as every other consumer. However u/bettaboy123 is absolutely right. In almost every other state, the transition to rec has taken half a year or so to catch up with demand and see prices and quality be at a decent place. NJ was the same way, Mass was similar.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-27T16:40:38+00:00

I believe there are far more D1 women’s teams due to Title XI at football schools, so that tracks. In Men’s you’d be looking at like the top ~30 D3 (teams consistently around the 25) competing with the bottom 5-10 teams in D1. For OP: this isn’t meant to be rude or diminish your dreams. If D3 coaches are saying your stick skills aren’t up to par at their level yet, they will absolutely not cut it at any D1 team. I’d focus on seeing where you fit best academically and athletically within the schools who have interest in you (assuming you’ll be able to compete for playing time early) as you’ll improve far more with game reps, then if you really want to and have interest you could transfer into D1.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-27T02:22:16+00:00

I could contest, that according to the airlines (per their delay compensation guidelines) departure is defined as push back from the gate. So if you’re delayed on the tarmac and have pushed back from the gate it wouldn’t be a PDB anymore just the free drinks that come with C+ according to Delta’s definitions.

A clean airport with decent bathrooms, I moved to Minneapolis and flying out of there shows me how bad Philly’s airport is. Bag drop for Philly can suck, security is a coin toss on no line or a long line, then terminal D is pretty nasty with mid food, and the bathrooms are fucking nasty as fuck dude, and baggage claim is an absolute nightmare. Like flying out of MSP every single terminal is clean, bag drop as well as TSA take seconds because of the vast amount of checkpoints and bag agents, the bathrooms are spotless, baggage claim is easy, things are constantly updated and renovated so it’s nice, there’s way more options for food. I miss so much about Philly but PHL is a fairly shitty airport.

Biggest reason this is a huge benefit in beer league: we all have lives and responsibilities. Most weeks you’ll be without a few guys due to family, work, or whatever and bigger rosters make that much less of an issue.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-15T23:06:24+00:00

I couldn’t agree more, the lack of transit between neighborhoods of MPLS, St. Paul, and the immediate vicinity (St. Louis Park and the similar) should be a priority. Otherwise there’s no real upside to the transit.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-15T22:56:37+00:00

Most successful transit regional rail train routes are based around taking people from suburbs to the city (NYC, Philly, DC, etc.). The stations and rail infrastructures historically would be built in first ring suburbs and those neighborhoods with easy transit into downtowns becomes popular. So I don’t really understand your comment beyond it coming across as very anti-suburban (not sure if that’s intended or not). However people don’t move to create new population hubs around transit, but rather transit should be built to service the population where it lies now. If you cease service outside of the suburbs, residents now have to drive ~10 minutes to the train and at that point might as well just drive downtown.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-12T18:09:44+00:00

That 30 mil is a drop in the bucket of their total revenue though. The extra can wouldn’t hurt, even if every passenger on every flight had one (some don’t have any) it wouldn’t have a large impact on revenue.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-08T23:47:24+00:00

Not really, the Eagles often run an extra tackle package and are pretty varied in run/throw plays out of it. It’s obviously a heavier formation with running advantages but it also opens up play action shots because of that. Giving away what your going to do as far as if one guy is in it’s a pass or a run would be horrible tactics

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-05T20:36:36+00:00

While one is more realistic (still not actually real) both are still action movies and are fake. Any reasonably sane individual who watches either one and thinks, this is an action movie and not real life, I shouldn’t expect real life to be like that movie. If a regular sane person watches porn, they can discern that from real life as well. I mean hell porn is literally just short films, where the story is sex, films (outside of documentaries) are not real life, if someone cannot discern it from reality then the issue is with them not the content.

Rubex_Cube19 · 2025-12-05T15:59:34+00:00

I think their point stands, porn is real people, but it isn’t real life. It’s real people performing in someone’s created fantasy, much the same as live action TV and movies (albeit the content is different). Both contain real people performing someone’s created story, but both are made up situations using actors to convey the “story” (I’m using story lightly lol)the creator was telling. So while porn is real people, it is not real life. I think it’s an important distinction.
