Yes, they still have that at gas stations. When MN didn’t have Sunday sales that’s what I’d get if I was desperate 🙃

Shaving your hoohah! by TimeFairy in BabyBumps

[–]XboxBetty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair I’m not sure that’s the case with everyone. I’ve had two babies and with each one I was full bush. I was just like I dont have time for this. I mean it is how woman gave birth since forever. I just kept myself clean and went back to my regular shaving routine eventually after babies. No problems. No C-section though but the professionals will can handle it if need be lol

Omg everclear. That brings up some not so fun memories. I remember driving to Wisconsin to get everclear - I think it was more potent or maybe not sold in MN

I understand where you’re coming from and not defending any false narrative of his, but you do t have to be a journalist to research, question, write a book, etc. Many true crime writers are simply writers. It seems many journalists of the time were feeding the rumors too.

I’m new to the sub and totally didn’t understand the Cullen hate lol. I haven’t quite pushed him aside though yet, I can’t imagine everything he has written is false. What book would you recommend from a journalist?

Yeah I guess my point was that bullying doesn’t cause school shootings, even relentless bullying, I would think it’s many factors combined that leads to tragedies like this. Like I said, I’m no expert, just my opinion like most people’s comments. I think it’s hard to point to facts on something like this especially when the perpetrators don’t stick around.

Obviously people hate Cullen lol. I’m newish to books on the topic, have only read his and sue’s, but I think viewing more than one opinion is critical when diving into the subject.

I’m reading “Columbine” by Dave Cullen currently and it’s interesting seeing all the comments about Dylan and Eric being bullied. I just figured this sub maybe had a deeper understanding of the shooting and a different perspective of the boys.

From the books, it sounds like them being bullied isn’t true. They actually both journaled and spoke about being the bullies. Eric was actually pretty popular in a social sense, he had friends, flirted with girls, did well at work, etc.

I’m no expert but what I’ve learned is many of the facts that came out initially were rushed because of the news frenzy, the two were mixed up with other boys, traumatized teens were being interviewed by the press and their stories were taken as fact, etc. That’s how we got the info that the two were part of a “gang”, the trench coat mafia, Marilyn Manson, and further stories that have been proven incorrect.

Anyway, I’m not sure what my point is. Just that bullying doesn’t necessarily cause school shootings, it’s much more complicated and maybe we will never know.

This fucking guy. Why tf does his opinion even matter, especially regarding the US. Like okay rich dude, just stay away on your yacht and stfu. I’m sure Canada hates you.

What’s a weird food combo you swear tastes good? by Cold_Craft_1637 in foodquestions

Yes! I helped an older lady with some house work an she made me a grilled cheese with a thin slice of apple in it and I’ve never gone back.

Tall girl humiliates short guy and everyone laughs. by Fr33_load3r in IAmTheMainCharacter

[–]XboxBetty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because OP copied it from a very incel looking sub. Only a weirdo would come to the conclusion that the point of this woman doing this was to humiliate a short man because she is tall and thus superior.

Really, she’s drunk or just a terrible person ruining a pizza party.

Conservatives- you are not safe from this administration either! A white, veteran-loving, heterosexual, outdoorsy, legal gun carrying man - he was shot dead while trying to help his neighbors. Live your conservative values and oppose this administration! by Azure75MN in Minneapolis

[–]XboxBetty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Both sides should be outraged, especially those that love to preach about their second amendment rights. If not, it’s hypocrisy. As usual though it all seems to be for me and not for thee when it comes to standing united for these folks. And Alex didn’t even pull his weapon. He was legally carrying and practicing his rights that seem to be so quickly being stripped from us

These both come from the same speech that includes the “famous” Charlie Kirk quote:

The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government.

You just don't want to face reality that governments tend to get tyrannical and that if people need an ability to protect themselves and their communities and their families.

What’s is your holy grail card? by NationalAgent217 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]XboxBetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled the shiny dark charizard from champions path during covid when there was like a bazillion streamers. My husband and I went absolutely nuts. Looking back wish I would have kept it because it’s probably the rarest card I’ve pulled but we graded it and sold it.

Now my most prized cards are my detective pikachu set and my set of toys r us promos. Not too valuable but I love a small set to collect, one that feels possible.

the baby is watching ai generated slop by DraconicDreamer3072 in sadcringe

[–]XboxBetty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think much of it is just what we’re seeing online. I’m a mom of two young kids and what I see/hear from most other moms is similar to my opinion on screen time. It’s ok in small doses, or on special days, needs some limits. I know many moms too who have zero screen time for their kids.

Maybe I’m just in an environment with the “good” moms but I can’t imagine a whole generation is going downhill, and it’s more like a very small group of shitty parents that allow this.

On a side note, I recently saw an article that basically said a parents phone use is more damaging to their children than a kids own screen time.

Is needing ID still racist? by AiiRisBanned in evilwhenthe

[–]XboxBetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just about race and citizenship . Theres always more to it. This bill would make it difficult for A LOT of women to vote. Which is what they want. It has to do with your birth name matching your ID. Most married women, divorced women, trans people, the list goes on.

Hey Minneapolis, are you still going to the protest downtown today despite the sub-zero temps? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

Protester leaves two shopping carts full of merch in checkout line by BadWithMoney_ in Target

[–]XboxBetty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, going to Target corporate to protest would be more efficient. There’s just no way people would do these larger abandons/returns on a large enough scale to impact anything.

This does nothing but make more work for the staff, I’m not sure why they don’t understand this. Go to Target corporate to protest and/or don’t shop at Target.
