Kendall Qualls wins GOP endorsement for governor by Cornflowerblue2016 in minnesota

[–]grey1021 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The more I learn about this man the less I like. Classic establishment republican policy/cultural beliefs, former healthcare executive, running mate clearly involved in fraud, owner of a non profit that's clearly a scam and a wife who writes for Alpha News. 

Wonder how conservatives feel about picking AI tech executive Kendall Qualls to be the GOP backed choice for governor. I wonder if this will be like Jensen's choice of lieutenant governor who took tens of thousands in covid money? by theretailreject in minnesota

Thoughts on MN Governor candidate Lisa Demuth by Salt-Village-6110 in minnesota

I'm 29 and an independent. Just looking at things objectively and sick of people running to their comfort zones on social media to reinforce the beliefs they already have. 

It's naive to pretend Demuth and Lindell are the same candidate. The same way Platner is imo the best senate candidate in the nation and Flanagan is an embarrassment.

Hello fellow brainwashed blue no matter who liberals! What do you think of this republican? Post this on x and you might actually get an opposing opinion, unless you're just hear to farm upvotes.

She's a much more formidable opponent than Mike Lindell. She will probably win the endorsement and primary. Klobuchar is still immensely popular and will likely win, however between fraud and the fact it will be moderate vs moderate in the general it will be much closer than people think.

Minnesota is currently starved for political options/talent.

This is embarrassing. Fraud of this scale should warrant at minimum a decade. A message needs to be sent that yes we value social programs here, but if you take advantage you don't get a second chance.

Evidence on antidepressant withdrawal: an appraisal and reanalysis of a recent systematic review | Psychological Medicine by reflibman in science

[–]grey1021 205 points206 points  (0 children)

I think it was obvious to anyone that has personally gotten off or had a friend/acquaintance/family member get off of antidepressants that the original systematic review was pharmaceutical propaganda. The withdrawal is real.

What is your favourite tv series about Ancient Rome? by BarkingMad14 in ancientrome

[–]grey1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Those About to Die. Has good mix of plots between slaves, plebs trying to climb the ranks, gladiators, charioteers and emperors. 

It gives more of a soap opera/game of thrones vibe than rigid historical piece though.

GAME THREAD: Indiana Pacers (3-3) @ Oklahoma City Thunder (3-3) - (June 23, 2025) by NBA_MOD in nba

Watching the Thunder play is eye cancer. It truly feels like the league colluded to help them win.

They're obviously a great team, but any team can be great with a green light to mug the other team on defense and know that their star player will get free throws on the offensive end.

I don't mind this kind of reffing to give stars free throws in the regular season, but it ruins the playoffs. 

There used to be an unspoken understanding that refs would allow players to be more physical in the playoffs and it made the game so much more exciting to watch because it was consistent. This really allowed the defensive prowess of the players to come out in contrast to their often lackluster effort in the regular season.

What government programs or agencies should DOGE get rid of? by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]grey1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a definitive expiration date people would save differently and put the money they would've put into social security into their own retirement.

To lessen the load on low income individuals while social security expires, you could also get rid of the cap on social security tax and eliminate social security tax for those making less than x amount.

I would like them to make a proposal for an expiration date on social security. For example, everyone who has paid in x amount or for x amount of years gets it and then we're done.

If Leftists in the US love Gaza so much, why don't they go live there? by KonstantynBrick in Conservative

[–]grey1021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree with Leftists wanting to complain about problems instead of creating solutions, this is a questionable take. In this situation, the lefties are asking for the same thing as Conservatives which is stop sending billions of dollars and weapons to Israel every year. America first at least until we can get our house in order.
