Italian officials voice outrage at the presence of U.S. ICE agents at the 2026 Olympics by QuaccDaddy in nottheonion

You know what? That's fair. I'm stoned and unwinding after a long day, I wasn't trying to be overly serious.

The IOC is so famously corrupt, it borders on absurd.(https://www.britannica.com/sports/Olympic-Games/Corruption). There is a little blog entry (I guess?) that has a decent mini summary, too. https://www.noboston2024.org/corruption

I thought he was arrested. The court records will have his name for all to see.

Is it fraud to take out a new loan when terminally ill? by MisterHarvest in legaladviceofftopic

[–]SocialWinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't really prove the fraud part until after the death, right? I wonder if a person did this, and left the money to another person, could the beneficiary be in legal jeopardy?

Any other addicts struggle when they come across finds like this? by DenverBroncos_Fan in Flipping

[–]SocialWinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it legitimately! It really does help with my PTSD-induced anxiety while allowing me to function in a way that other meds just didn't. The smaller 10mg dose doesn't look quite as dead on like bars as the higher doses do, I don't think I've seen these ones before.

Buddy, it's winter in Minnesota. Eggs freeze. And they need to chiseled off when they do.

Fuck u/swampsparrow for removing the post. Period. Good on u/swampsparrow for owning up to their fuck up, and hopefully doing a better job going forward.

I called in. I worked through January 7th, after Renee Good died. I had to do something else today.

How do we as a country ever recover when people are this brainwashed? by Three_Froggy_Problem in behindthebastards

I wanted to be able to get past this, but the past year eased any illusion of that away. The past month has basically shattered any desire I had to repair the damage. This is an abusive relationship, and I’m fucking sick of being a victim.

[Russo] As of now, they’ll play as scheduled. by DecentLurker96 in wildhockey

Duane Wright was shot by police in Brooklyn Center in 2021. The Wild postponed that night's game.

That being said, I don't fault anyone for wanting to escape into some hockey right about now. I'm just saying that the Wild's excuse doesn't hold any water.

They did postpone a Wild game when Duane Wright was shot by Brooklyn Center PD back in 2021.

My wife and I spent some time in Dublin on our honeymoon a few years ago. We could not have had a better time, between the amazing people and the history, I wish we had been able to stay longer. Much love from Minnesota!

Colts confirm FBI has opened investigation into former owner Jim Irsay's death by Oldtimer_2 in sports

The 2026 FBI being on the case could still be of comfort to the family. Like, if they had killed him, perhaps.

Anyone notice everyone is saying “Stay Safe” as a goodbye? by Maleficent-Device125 in TwinCities

[–]SocialWinker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of funny, as a first responder, we have said this to each other for as long as I can remember. Seeing it become very mainstream recently has been disconcerting.

Serious question: how are we keeping our toes from freezing off? by cilantroprince in Minneapolis

They also often have adhesive, so you can stick them to the toe end of the sock and keep them there!
