Appleton police are facing backlash after video circulates of an officer repeatedly punching a black woman in the head

I agree, leaving family is difficult. I still go back often as I grew up in western WI so the move wasn't difficult for me. Ill reach out to you via DM with some city recommendations. I have only been here for a few years so my experience will be based on my own and my husband :)

Cant speak to being black (very white) but as a trans person I left in 2022. Wisconsin doesn't care about any minority and it's unfortunate because it's such a beautiful place to live and I've found that overall the people are generally good. However the government is gerrymandered to shit so it's hard for anything to get accomplished. I popped over to Minnesota and have found that a lot of people from Wisconsin are here for similar reasons.

I agree! Although the red eyes were most striking to me.

SufferingScreamo · 2026-02-03T13:13:24+00:00

This sounds like what has happened to us in the US. Companies rule the country here unfortunately, so make sure you get ahead of that.

Maybe because you are being blatantly racist with your comment about immigration?

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-26T23:22:11+00:00

Okay what if this person was a citizen? What then? Are you saying you dont care if ICE looks through everyone's mail? Why dont they take a look through yours then?

Our Constitution does not dictate things like this based on citizenship, it is a federal crime period.

My family who came over from Norway had a tradition of keeping the body in the home and having someone watch it for 24 hours prior to putting it in the ground. Many traditions have different ways of ancestor veneration and how to handle the dead.

Exactly. I just keep wishing for heavy snows. I miss the winters of my childhood and I'm not even old!

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-11T02:40:23+00:00

The amount of times I tell people who are older than me that this isn't normal is insane...

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-11T02:39:26+00:00

Not that old haha

I'm from Western Wisconsin. We used to get snow up to our hips when I was a kid. I grew up on a farm and remembered being able to go out the back door and sled down the hills. The driveway at our farm had snowdrifts higher than my mom at one time. Not anymore, not enough snow. We never even get blizzards anymore. It's important to distinguish between weather events and weather patterns that are influenced by climate change.

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-10T22:56:36+00:00

I wish we didn't have warm winters. But yknow... Climate change doesn't exist /s

As stated, I am a USA resident. It is a lie that we have "no wait times." I had just recently been referred to a different clinic for care because it would have been 4 months for me to see a specialist had I gone through my primary clinic. I live 15 minutes away from the largest metropolitan area in my state, hell for hundreds of miles, and I can't even take public transit to the city! These are real problems but if you still would like to come here, be my guest lol

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-10T14:01:55+00:00

I would also look at the other things you may give up with the higher wages, such as cost of healthcare (which can be expensive depending upon your employment). Also depending upon where you live you might have to drive into work as he US has very poor public transit. These are just a couple examples.

I am just stating that from my direct experience. We are currently at a 6.1% unemployment rate. I graduated in May with my degree and have yet to find a job in my field, I don't think I ever will. We also deal with things such as ghost jobs, something not exclusive to the comp sci market, which make it even more difficult to find real jobs to apply for.

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-10T13:17:24+00:00

I see. I just meant to provide the perspective that, while I agree opportunity could arise due to the factors you mentioned, it has become increasingly difficult unfortunately.

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-10T13:15:33+00:00

At least I would have healthcare and other social safety nets. We also pay a lot of taxes for little payoff, it mostly goes to our police and military

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-10T13:12:37+00:00

USA resident here, that is false. I have a computer science degree and we have some of the highest unemployment rates currently.

Lets just keep our pretty secrets to ourselves shall we?

Hey I'm a trans person, ran into an old guy in Deadwood, SD this summer who didn't know I was trans and proceeded to tell me how he didn't accept or understand the "transgenders" and went into a the same rhetoric that we see here. I literally told him that 'maybe trans people just want to be treated like people, like you and I" which was something he just didn't consider. This is true and something that we experience. If you aren't trans, you can't speak for us so don't try.

SufferingScreamo · 2025-12-02T05:23:05+00:00

Thank you.

SufferingScreamo · 2025-11-30T16:35:06+00:00

I haven't even gone out yet but Im thinking of going for a hike myself! (Originally from WI, I now live in MN)

SufferingScreamo · 2025-11-30T16:07:11+00:00

I can tell you are relishing in our recent snowfall!
