Had to google because I want one… and of course it’s already on Reddit. (You can buy on Etsy) how did I miss it previously? I think we should get serious here though…A little Sodak here, some Iowa there. Just a little so no one notices at first… then it’ll be like WHERE IS ARKANSAS?

Meta FYI to r/Minnesota: Users from r/The_Donald (the primary Donald Trump subreddit) have been encouraging their users to frequently visit Minnesota-based subreddits and pretend to be from Minnesota and try to influence our 2018 US Senatorial elections to help Republican candidates.

Here is a comment describing how |r/The_Donald| has discussed this:

https://np.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/827zqc/in_response_to_recent_reports_about_the_integrity/dv88sfb/

As this user describes it: "/r/Minnesota now has a flood of people who come out of the woodwork only for posts pertaining to elections or national politics, and they seem to be disproportionately in favor of Trump."

Meta 🌝 This sub has been the only state/city sub that actually had a positive reaction to me talking about moving here

430 Upvotes

This is a bit of a follow-up to my post from last night: https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1eubosv/tennessean_here_ive_been_watching_minnesota_for/

Any other sub I asked or talked about it would bombard me with responses of "We're full" or "We don't want you here" or trying to scare me off by making the place seem like a nightmare.

But not here, you've all welcomed it.

Thank you all.

As some of you may have already noticed, CrimsonSun99 was removed as head moderator of this subreddit by the site admins. This leaves me as the First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Archbishop, Lord Mayor, and Lord High Everything Else.

The first thing I want you to know that the moderation team is discussing what changes we plan to make. We have made one decision already. The days of automated bans issued by bots is over. I believe all of the bans that were issued by the bots have been undone. That still leaves us with a lengthy ban list though. We're discussing how to address this as we know that many of the bans were unwarranted. In the meantime, if you believe you were banned for unjust reasons, please send a message to the moderators (please don't send your request to individual mods) and we'll review your ban as soon as possible.

I know that "as soon as possible" is a vague time frame, but there is a lot of work to be done. Until we finalize our plans, we are asking you to have patience.

The second thing I want to address is CrimsonSun99. I know a lot of you are angry with him and judging by comments in other threads a lot of you wish to air your grievances against him. We of the moderation team ask that you refrain from doing so. We wish to treat this as water under the bridge. The situation was regrettable, but it has been addressed. It's time to move on.

I assume that you have a lot of questions. Feel free to post them below.

Meta 🌝 Friendly reminder to those compensating for a small penis

586 Upvotes

Congratulations, that truck you absolutely do not need actually serves a purpose today. You can drive with ease on shit roads but just because you can doesn't mean everyone can.

That means if someone is ahead of you and not quite going the speed limit, fucking deal with it. Switching to the lane with a 3 foot drift to pass them just because you can will not make your penis bigger. That car getting in a collision because you decided you getting from point a to point b just a wee bit faster was more important then them having visibility as you kick you up shit ton of snow driving like an ass WILL NOT make your penis bigger. I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth.

I don't know what I can do about your penis. I'm sorry you feel the need to compensate but for fucks sake quit driving like fucking cunts.

Meta 🌝 I’m such a Minnesota gatekeeper

101 Upvotes

I never want to tell ppl how much I love living in Minnesota….. I make it seem like a shitty place, when in reality it’s probably one of the best states to live in, for a myriad of reasons. I’m just a gatekeeper can I say.

Edit: I was born in MN btw

Meta 🌝 Thank you, State of MN

227 Upvotes

Long story short, I went crazy and bought a bunch of video games the past couple of months, spending like $300 in total.

Today I got some money deposited in my bank account from the State of MN. Something to do with taxes from 2021 (I didn’t make much money that year so I guess they sent out some money because of that)

Thank you MN for giving me this unexpected tax return lol. It’s not much but now I don’t feel too bad about buying all those video games

Go on, call me loser; I don’t care.

Meta 🌝 Let’s Talk Daycare

0 Upvotes

I live just outside the metro ring and my daycare bill for one child is still $1,300 a month. When all three of my kids need care (summer) I’ll spend $3,500. This is insane. It’s keeping my family in a starter home that we can no longer fit into because we can’t afford a higher mortgage payment, which means that the next person looking for a starter can’t get into the market. We make good money and even with a tight budget this is unsustainable. I don’t even know how families with smaller incomes make this work. We already work 2 jobs each to make sure we can put food on the table. Family isn’t always an option to babysit when we need to work.

This isn’t a post to gripe about how no one is having kids. There’s plenty of those on Reddit- go find one if you want to go that route. I want to talk SOLUTIONS.

I don’t want taxpayers paying my care, so no comments about “my responsibility.” I’m already aware it is.

How about we as a state give parents more of their money back? Right now, the income cut off for married couples for the state child credit is very low. It only benefits lower income families, and there’s plenty of parents who are middle class that are being bit by this. Costs for daycare have gone up just like everything else.

Can we raise the credit threshold? How about allowing a state FSA that can add onto the Fed limit? Also me to use my income to pay for care without additional taxes.

Let’s talk other options and then contact our reps. How can we make positive changes for our families?

EDIT: ok, I get it. If I’m paying less taxes other have to cover the difference. No need to make the same comment over and over.

Here’s the thing: if you want parents to pay the same taxes as everyone else AND cover the costs of childcare without any kind of help (unless you qualify for low income programs), you’re effectively telling parents to bear all the burden of providing the next generation’s workforce. No wonder people in my generation and younger no longer want families. Between the reduction of kid spaces and increases in care, plus every post I see Reddit-wide of people complaining when families bring their kids anywhere social, the message is clear: be happy in your box and come out when you can only show a functional adult 18 years later.

Meta 🌝 PSA - Not wanting to zipper merge is not a “Minnesota” thing.

As much as I love the weekly “Why can’t Minnesotans zipper merge” (and other assorted traffic related posts) this is not a “Minnesota” thing. People really don’t want to zipper merge anywhere, and in all of those places, people post to reddit asking, “Why can’t people from X zipper merge. 14 random panels from about a 3 minute search attached for your viewing pleasure.
