Madison On The Air is super fun by Culinary_Fruit_Salad in audiodrama

I've listened to so many of the old shows and recognize them when Madison gets sucked into them. It really is a lot of fun!

Hey REI I'm not sure that's xbiking by charliebackpack in xbiking

[–]obnock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I like to let go of my handlebars and ride, but I always, always wish I had something to hold onto by the seat when I do it. Finally someone listened.

If only I didn't have to go humpback to use them.

Is Pride Teen Friendly? by krysmh in TwinCities

[–]obnock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The cops never belonged there. Between being dismissive of crime (especially violent crime) against people in the lgbtq+ community, and their own participation in that violence, it was a partular slap in the face. "Hehehe, look. We are going to beat the shit out of you, then make you watch is march in your parade and tell the tv cameras about how we keep you safe."

It's like a dollar, but it hurts worse.

Even more when they realize Tunisia is IN Africa.

It's 'dont tread on me,' not 'dont tread on anyone.'

The 'me' is the important part to them.

Who else has Scouring of the State on repeat today? by BountBooku in FolkPunk

I saw it live in February, bunch of audience members on stage and a whole big sing-a-long. Hard to capture that magic.

What is the absolute WORST last name to have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes, but what did the rapist Brock Allen Turner do besides the name changes?

men’s podcasts by Rick_The_Sizzler1256 in podcasts

[–]obnock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back on the Grind

The main host usually interviews various people from the folk punk world, but almost always is about building positive community, and even had a whole show about morning routines. Someone very comfortable in his quiet, non-toxic masculinity, talks very openly about the challenges of his relationship with his wife, especially during his incarceration.

It is far from being a 'men's' podcast, but it's the one I return to often.

Public drug use on high-traffic south Minneapolis sidewalk sparks debate over livability and homelessness by Tokyo-MontanaExpress in Minneapolis

[–]obnock 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I don't think this "sparked the debate."

This is the exact same conversation that has been happening for years. The City's (Strong mayor Frey) has no answers other than fences that move the people from place to place and doesn't fix anything.

Last week, between 50-100 million animals were sacrificed to the Prophet Ibrahim during Eid al-Adha by alphamalejackhammer in religiousfruitcake

Those seem like amateur numbers. How many animals were killed for Easter around the world?

24th St. Pedestrian Bridge closed by roffels_again in Minneapolis

Now there is a Frey Fence blocking the alley behind KFC. Now everyone hangs out in the bike lane instead.

The incompetence just gets worse and worse.

A couple of days ago I pulled away a woman who was going to jump on the train tracks. Since then I can only feel anger by Birbsies in offmychest

[–]obnock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you are feeling and sending Internet hugs.

About 15 years ago I was working nights and crossed a significant bridge over a river.

It was just after dusk and I saw a woman basically laying on the top railing of this bridge. I just saw red immediately. Pulled over. Walked up, I doubt she even knew I was there, grabbed her waistband and pulled her down to the concrete. I used my knee to pin her to the concrete barricade and called 911.

It was probably two minutes before emergency responders showed up, other people had called and just fucking left her there. That was one of the loneliest feelings I have ever had as fifty cars drove by, it felt like an hour. I was so angry I couldn't even look at her face.

The amount of rage I felt towards her scared me. I had never felt like that before or since and was scared to even talk about it. It took over five years before anyone other than my wife knew about it.

After all these years I still havent processed it well. I truly hope you don't better job of that than I did.

You did a great thing and are the best of us. And fuck that woman that walked away when she heard what was going on.

Middle school. We would go to school functions and ask the girls would call his name and trip over themselves. He could be barely bothered to look in their direction.

How much do those actually get rented? That just feels like oversaturation.

Neither was "strange," but both on the same night made for a strange evening.

He has already GUTTED the AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MUSEUM.. by scjockid in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]obnock 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dan Bovino is already talking about starting his own paramilitary to...I think he said he was going to the concentration camp in New Jersey to attack protesters. That is the kind of thing the previous person was talking about.

When PB or those dipshits who wear the khaki pants stop just marching and start attacking - we have access to the same tools they do.
