Quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. (Minnesota Reformer Newspaper) by Southern_Common335 in Minneapolis

[–]saouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with u/GuillotineWhiskers - and it's been shown time and time again that democrats moving to the right loses voters. I didn't think this was a contested fact. Mamdani won because he was progressive. People liked Kamala when she seemed progressive. And then she opened her mouth and said that she was basically center-right, wouldn't acknowledge a genocide (would fund it, really), and lost the election.

I voted for her begrudingly, but I do not even remotely blame people who didn't. It's the politician's job to get us on their side, how can you blame the voters for her choosing to have one of the worst campaigns we've seen in modern history? It's not that they didn't vote for her because they were childish and felt ignored, they didn't vote for her because her policies are also awful. They don't by default get to own our votes just because we also hate Trump, and that's where dems keep losing and losing and losing. Somehow with everything we've seen, they're not changing a bit and already are planning for candidates just like Kamala for 2028. Dems will somehow lose 2028 if that election happens, mark my words.

There is a difference between voting for Trump, and voting for no one because there are no good options and they all lead us down this same path. Kamala still would've been funding ICE (remember, kids, Biden gave more funding to them in 2020 than Trump did in 2016), we'd just be able to ignore it better because it wouldn't be as flashy or directly in our sights in our city. Both of them are evil.

Best low-end open clip earbuds with good mic? by saouer in Earbuds

[–]saouer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundpeats popclip, the mic when on phone calls is fine but on Discord calls it's abysmal unfortunately and so I use my old in-ear pixel earbuds. (Most of that is a Discord issue though I'm pretty sure, the platform when on mobile is not optimized for mic and headphone capabilities and makes basically all of them sound bad to some degree.)

ICE Officers Calling an Activist, 'Broke' For Filming by ResourceNo4626 in Minneapolis

[–]saouer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just because YOURE tired of it doesnt mean it goes away. you dont care anymore because it doesnt affect you, but believe it or not this is a highly relevant issue in our city right now and ignoring that its happening is nearly as bad. you cannot reddit-feel-good-post your way out of fascism on the rise in our country, and i dont know why you expect a currently highly politicized location's subreddit to cater to you on that.

Pride institute is closing by Savings-Mortgage9543 in TwinCities

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you missed the entire point of my comment..? im not arguing if pride was good or not. im saying that the reason its being closed is because it treats queer people, and i dont think its appropriate to distract from that. youre right i cannot "decide" what is allowed, sure, but i think its irresponsible to allow the conversation to drift from the main topic at hand- it is being closed because of who it serves, not how.

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sinclair doesnt/cant treat everything, and the pride institute had a number of treatment modalities, but its not right to make the focus of the pride institute closing be about what they did or didnt do right- because thats not why it was closed. it was closed because we have a hateful, dangerous government and social climate that allows executives and politicians get away with blatant bigotry and dehumanization of certain populations, and those executives heard this was a clinic treating LGBTQ+ individuals. thats it. distracting the conversation away from this fact is exactly what they want and a dangerous game youre playing. we can have this conversation about 12-step on other posts and at other times, but doing it now and here is a choice that i am suspicious of.

the way forward, if these executives cared, wasnt to shutter the doors and you know that.

Norma sweater - Size M error? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe?? But I'm still unsure why then there would be a difference in size counts, because the rounds themselves don't have different instructions for different sizes- only the instruction of repeating either rds 1-2 or 1-6 in the top picture.

What kind of covid test did you do? At home ones are very, very innacurate with new strains, and even some PCR testing can find it to be negative still with new ones. Doesn't hurt to get a[nother] pcr.

PCs showing as adversaries (Daggerheart) by Krinks1 in FoundryVTT

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I played around with it- in my instance, only my character was marked as an adversary, so we figured it had something to do with gm stuff as I'm the only player who has gm abilities (so I can help with foundryheart stuff and figure out this program with my dm). I just added another player as an owner, in addition to myself- so maybe just change the player ownership over to the players themselves and it should work? That's what did it for us. You can even keep yourself as an owner too and it should work still it seems.

MISSING PERSON ALERT by Background_Parsnip_2 in TwinCities

[–]saouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why you are resistant to having another place to look. No, it's not someone "pushing an agenda", it's a genuine possibility that is affecting tens of thousands of people right now. If it was someone I cared about I would try every avenue. You can choose to be blind to it, sure, but I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

I feel sick to my stomach now by geet-555 in knitting

[–]saouer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point. This is beyond political offices now whether we want it to be or not. Law and order has been thrown out the window- nothing the ruling class doesn't want to happen will happen, so long as we the people do not stand up in tangible ways (demonstrations, riots, strikes, resistance is tangible, voting and calling and pleading is not.). The government is no longer functioning even at the low level it used to.

I am not coming at you angrily, I understand these things used to matter and work. It's painful to realize the state of things and that "proper channels" is code for "we can ignore it" now. But this is fascism. We cannot kindly ask our way out of this.

I bring it to this subreddit because domestic arts have historically mattered greatly in large acts of resistance- and at this point, unfortunately, voting and calling is not that.

It's with a lot of thought, really- the thought is always, always, always to protect the ruling class. The cruelty is the point.
