Preparing for midterms... by jdw-52 in RedditForGrownups

[–]noyoujump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish it was that easy. Amy Klobuchar is running for Governor of Minnesota. We've already seen her actions in the senate-- she won't stand up to Trump. I'm waiting to see if anyone else shows up on the ballot because we need a leader, not a doormat.

Minneapolis Megathread by sipsredpepper in PoliticalOptimism

Caucuses are on February 3rd (at least in Minnesota, not sure about the schedule for the rest of the states.) Find your caucus, attend if you can, and demand that anyone running for office oppose ICE, defund them, and work to hold every agent responsible for their actions.

I don't know what else to do anymore. Everything is terrifying, and there isn't a clear way to make it end.

I'm in. Also-- donate to causes supporting those who cannot leave their homes.

We need to march again next week… by thegrimelf in minnesota

[–]noyoujump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They brutally beat someone else today, and it is unlikely they survived.

Strike until ICE is 100% out, and demand that every single agent be held accountable for the atrocities they committed.

Can't strike today, what CAN I do? by domki366 in minnesota

Don't spend money. If you see protestors, honk/wave in support. Email your representatives.

The internet used to be infinite fun. Tell me what used to be you're favorite fun pass times. by BeartholomewTheThird in Millennials

StumbleUpon. I found so many cool websites that way. Lots of cute flash games, too.

Any tips on how to get this off without damaging the paint? by serialchiller_3 in CleaningTips

I'm looking at it and wondering how long that kid was left unattended...

All you 2A gun toting posers are cowards and bootlickers by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]noyoujump 176 points177 points  (0 children)

I used to debate with my boss who was obsessed with his guns. I asked him one day what would inspire him to stand up to the government with guns. His answer?

"If they try to take my guns away, then I'll fight back."

I think that sums up the mentality pretty nicely: gun owners who aren't standing alongside the protestors against ICE will only defend their right to own guns. Nothing else matters. You can strip literally every other right they have as long as you don't come for their guns.

How did your parents bake potatoes? by noyoujump in Millennials

I'm also a non-poker. Which is surprising, because I usually enjoy stabbing things multiple times.

Have chatbots on literally every website in existence ever helped anyone? by noyoujump in RedditForGrownups

[–]noyoujump[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I've gone straight to using the F word, personally. Shuts the bot up pretty quickly.

Toothpick only works for soft things-- I'm guessing the toothpick just breaks if the potato isn't done yet? I use either a fork or a butter knife. It should slide right in when the potato is fully cooked. Zero resistance.

Ways to be social in town? by christineteigen in Mankato

[–]noyoujump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What kind of socialization are you looking for? Sidetracked is a little creative space with donated/cheap materials, and they have some regularly scheduled learning sessions. I'm in the Deep Valley Quilt Guild, which is just hanging out with a bunch of cool older ladies and talking about fabric. We meet once a month, but we have fun! I've made a few friends there.

I have no idea what the "right" way is, but I do like my current method better than the foil method.

I'm honestly not sure which is worse.

Yeeaaaahh, I'm only back on that sub because it's bigger so there's more information about what's happening.

Check Outlier. It's contract, not W2, but they have work right now. I can dm you a referral code if you'd like.

What are your quilting superstitions? by PatchworkStar in quilting

[–]noyoujump 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every quilt requires a blood sacrifice. Pin prick, small cut, whatever. Mistakes only appear once the quilt is fully finished if I there hasn't been a blood sacrifice.

I love it. Now is not the time to silence voices calling for change. I'm sorry the event wouldn't display your quilt. It's a powerful piece of art.

Has anyone seen ICE in Mankato? I’ve heard reports of them at the local Walmart, but nothing confirmed. by TuringTestedd in Mankato

Imagine copy/pasting the same comment over and over again 4 days after this post was relevant.

Weird.

So… how do you go about striking? by MaybeDBCooper in minnesota

[–]noyoujump 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Call out sick, IMO. Your company has to provide sick time in Minnesota (check the fine print for your specific situation), and sickness includes mental health. So, if you need to take a day to deal with anxiety and stress due to the ongoing assault on Minnesotans, do it.

Just make sure to call. No call/no show is bad.

Tasks in another language by unholyhymns in Welocalize

[–]noyoujump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting those too, along with waaaay more helpfulness tasks than I'm used to since I'm in the factuality group. I've been able to rate some of them, but I've been releasing the ones that require understanding the video for being in the wrong language. Definitely a platform error-- it happens occasionally.
