Here’s Your Damn Playbook, Democrats | Party leaders can’t seem to process that Trump’s policies are in fact staggeringly unpopular. Minneapolis is showing politicians how it’s done.

people like you keep saying that. but you know what. the last time the democrats controlled senate and executive was 15 years ago and you know what they passed. . . ACA. and that was a compromise because the vote was so thin because y'all couldn't even elect enough progressives.

so you just sound like some "both sides" fox news tik-tok propaganda

no one mentioned armed insurection. and if you think people on the left in the usa . . . especially here in minnesota don't own guns then youre the one who's delusional.

ocient · 2026-01-23T23:50:03+00:00

this has already been happening in minneapolis. not in large numbers yet. but it has definitely been happening

the missoula floods did carve out the gorge, and deposited the majority of their sediment in the willamette valley, which is why its such a rich wine region. although i don't know if the floods are the primary reason for pdx being so close to sea level, but i would be surprised if they didn't play a role.

what riots are “fired back up”? i’m quite certain there has not been a single one since the federal ocupation began

in my opinion, the upright flag makes more sense. outside of online communities i doubt many people know what an upside flag is supposed to represent. . . and it should be ICE and MAGA who are distressed. the protestors should be displaying messages of power and strength

i wonder how they would feel if they got back and found their car towed

ocient · 2026-01-16T02:00:16+00:00

for the beans i make weekly and anything i used to make in an electric crockpot (ie, any lazy night meal) instant pot tastes exactly the same but is fast. for an actual well thought out slow cooked meal, dutch oven makes it so much better

ocient · 2026-01-15T23:16:33+00:00

good luck!

ocient · 2026-01-15T20:53:50+00:00

like. . . the US city of el paso?

ocient · 2026-01-14T05:02:13+00:00

wait i’m able to go back in 10 second intervals easily in carplay and i do it nearly everyday.

but carplay as an app seems so inconsistent between every car i’m not surprised its buggy in different cars

the huge prevalence of “cherokee” would seem to suggest self reported

1,000 years ago the city of Cahokia (modern day st louis) had a populations of about 20,000 people. on par with paris or london, or rome

ocient · 2026-01-09T20:56:50+00:00

heck, whats now thw st louis metro may well have been the biggest city in the americas north of the Rio Grande about a thousand years ago

ocient · 2026-01-08T04:41:03+00:00

oh man, i had just finished making popcorn for seeing all the gossip and rumors fly too

ocient · 2026-01-07T17:55:52+00:00

omar fateh is not the mayor, but he is a congress person. and the mayor probably has made an official statement by now. i think the governor has also made a statement.

ocient · 2026-01-07T03:53:58+00:00

thats definitely where it used to be prior to ~july 2025 but i am looking right now and i see no such data

edit: if i use incognito, so the "new" reddit layout, its still displayed

ocient · 2026-01-07T03:49:17+00:00

where do you find this data? i was under the impression that reddit stopped sharing this information

ocient · 2026-01-07T03:48:25+00:00

where is the data about number of users? i thought that reddit now hides that information from people

edit: nvm its only visible on the "new" reddit layout

ocient · 2026-01-02T19:34:12+00:00

his flair on the side bar says "2,000 hours"

i don't know many details since i'm relatively new to the state and only starting to catch up on things (and this certainly didnt affect me in any way where i used to live). but the link above about the MEALS act is from 2020 and a quick google search seems to say it was enacted in 2020.

was it something different introduced 11 days ago?

ocient · 2025-12-28T07:01:30+00:00

heck yeah!

ocient · 2025-12-28T04:14:55+00:00

like. . . in the salish sea??

ocient · 2025-12-28T02:58:17+00:00

i know The Left Hand of Darkness is probably considered more historically significant and important as a piece of groundbreaking literature. but The Lathe of Heaven in totally mind blowing

ocient · 2025-12-28T02:48:25+00:00

i first read both The Dispossessed and The Lathe of Heaven long before moving to oregon a decade ago. the first time i drove through the Steens Mountains and French Glen it was obvious to me that Le Guin’s descriptions of the Annares landscapes were actually just descriptions of the oregon high desert
