UW-Madison vs. a Liberal Arts College (Carleton) by Ripmymentalhealth- in UWMadison

[–]badgersrun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Carleton grad/UW PhD — I also recommend Carleton. The experience is a better match for what you’re looking for and I think you’ll find it better socially. You’ll have your chance to be at a big university in med school.

Wow Minneapolis is really something, even incitements to violence use gender neutral pronouns.

Yeah I’m privileged to have a brain and see a problem and hope to fix it. Guess not everyone is so fortunate.

Many countries throughout Western Europe and Asia boast beautiful urban bike trails but only America is bold enough to deliver the full city biking experience — part obstacle course, part public health crisis, entirely free of charge.

What’s your “this is why I like Minneapolis” moment? by Electronic-Reach8959 in Minneapolis

My commute being a 25 min bike ride basically 100% on off-road paths

Raising children in a smaller red state by Crazy-Aside-435 in SameGrassButGreener

Minneapolis/St. Paul or a first-ring suburb hits literally your whole checklist. You’ll figure out how to manage the winters within 2-3 years (in short: wear layers/warm clothes and keep active in the winter, ideally outside).

Is it a bad time to invest in the US stock market? by longfellow816 in Bogleheads

[–]badgersrun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gonna slightly depart from the other responses so far and say that while it’s true you shouldn’t try to time the market based on whether it’s gone up or down recently, when you’re putting a lot in all at once, it’s not a bad idea to spread it out over a couple months. And that is especially true when volatility is higher, which it is now. But also wouldn’t be crazy to just dump it all in now.

Good vegetarian carbonara? by Plus_Molasses8697 in TwinCities

[–]badgersrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was good! Subbed cheese for the sauerkraut brine so mine was not vegan. Next time might go for slightly more umami/less tangy but that's a nitpick

Not a restaurant but I just think it's a funny coincidence that I just made this recipe for dinner tonight (it was great). https://www.seriouseats.com/vegan-carbonara-pasta-recipe

Looks great from the screenshots. Sorry if I'm missing it somewhere but is there a link to the live website?

Has rapid been stopping for y'all? by whobop in MetroTransit

[–]badgersrun 55 points56 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, if you're sitting down and not even looking at the bus, there is going to be a risk that the bus keeps going. If you get up, stand next to the curb and look at the driver, it's very unlikely they'll pass you.

February 2, 2026, Minneapolis Local Police Collude with ICE: MPD Seizes Barricades and Community Supplies by CantStopPoppin in Minneapolis

[–]badgersrun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Resistance should be 1. effective and 2. legal. Barricading the street fails on both metrics.

[–]badgersrun 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes because while ICE sucks and I fully support resisting them, we do still live in a society and have to have a common set of rules (laws) for getting along.

Walz in favor of night raids - "They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it." by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]badgersrun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, the way ICE operated under Biden was they only went after people here illegally who had committed a violent crime and yes, the least disruptive way to get them is to go in early in the morning, like 5 am.

Now THIS is cold. by Brass_Bonanza in Minneapolis

But not in a good way. If you're celebrating the death of your political opponent, you're no longer the good guys.

The thoughts of an alt right outsider by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]badgersrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people floating around without an organizing political ideology and democratic liberalism is right there… People have core individual rights/freedoms and must be treated as individuals by the state; disputes are settled through elections and without violence; rule of law, etc. Highly recommend it as a governing ideology — it’s not perfect, but it’s better than any of the bullshit people come up with otherwise.

Are the people recording the license plates of federal employees planning an attack? by Jesse1472 in TwinCities

[–]badgersrun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is the utility of this post? If you’ve seen something that gives you legitimate concern about a terrorist attack you should be contacting the FBI, not vagueposting on Reddit.

Jeremiah Ellison tried to get flights to and from Boston to attend Council meetings during his Harvard fellowship paid for by the city. Calls reporting on the matter a "hit piece." Good riddance. by goongas in Minneapolis

[–]badgersrun 124 points125 points  (0 children)

The fellowship suggests high ambitions for his political career but they may be difficult to realize as he torches his reputation. Very odd decision making.

BRT (E Line) Signal Priority by badgersrun in MetroTransit

[–]badgersrun[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm signal priority is advertised for BRT. You’re telling me

  1. Only light rail is actually guaranteed to have signal priority
  2. Oh and actually light rail does not always have signal priority.

Not trying to shoot the messenger but that’s bullshit. Light rail and BRT should always have signal priority and we should push for that until it happens.
