What America are you living in? The pigs here tear gassed folks sitting on their front porch during the George Floyd protests - reporters were attacked and arrested and one was injured so badly that she's going to die from her injuries. And despite what Fox News might have said, those were overwhelmingly peaceful protests, at least until the cops started shit.

Anyone know how to contact Nintendo's legal team? They've got an opportunity to do something good for once.

Or at least actually finished, for some reasonable definition of "finished". I'm going to buy Haunted Chocolatier on release and I'd pre-order that given the chance and I never pre-order (I'm actually 1 for 1 on pre orders, I pre ordered Star Trek Voyager Elite Force).

There's not, it's too new. There's some stuff Fire toolkit could do but it's severely limited on newer Fire tablets.

Maybe you're willing to, but we can't even get a majority of Americans to vote once every four years.

(I've served in student government a few times, and while not directly applicable it was still eye opening - a lot of stuff will not affect you personally but you need to give a shit as an "elected" official because everything effects someone. I put elected in quotes because the first time I got talked into it and the second time happened because nobody else was willing - it's deeply boring work most of the time.)

That is terrifying. I was expecting bullshit which is why I got my passport last year after Trump was elected, but this is much worse than I feared.

I don't have the source, but from what I know it's just a stock image and not what you're hoping for.

Edit: still not porn, but the source is an Instagram post

I've got a 2021 Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet and I'm sick of Amazon's crap. I mostly use it for watching YouTube, any recommendations for a ~$150 (non-Samsung) tablet the same size or bigger with a headphone jack? Willing to buy used.

Anybody got that gif from the Daily Show?

Does Chicago do Midwest style cheese curds?

Shame you're not here during the summer, the state fair is where we hide the truly incredible culinary abominations like deep fried twinkies, deep fried oreos, deep fried ranch dressing... (no, we don't usually eat that kind of thing but you'd get to go home and confirm that we are actually doing this stuff).

Try some sweet tea as well if Waffle House has it, Cracker Barrel (another chain) also does most of the southern style breakfast stuff (grits, biscuits and gravy) and it's an interesting trip but local places and Waffle House should take higher priority.

As a Minnesotan, I'm cool with spending my money to air the Nazi's dirty laundry.

A friend of a friend was part of the group sorting through the name submissions the first year, and Abolish ICE was one of the most popular suggestions, but yeah they couldn't let that one be a contender.

My opinion, the norms are gone, let's do this. It'll be hilarious.

 

Based on what was posted on the Twin Cities Pride Facebook page, Target may have been kicked out.

 

And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?

Right now, you're able to select the appropriate gender marker on your passport without a note from a medical professional (and a passport can be used in the vast majority of situations you'd use a birth certificate) but because the self select gender marker was done by executive action, it's extremely likely to be reversed when Trump takes office.

Also, having one might be a good idea in general.

 
 

Bauhaus Brew Labs has a NA Helles called Nah that I really like, but the only place I've found it is Whole Foods, which I'd rather not shop at. I'm guessing the brewery sells it, but they're not super conveniently located - anyone know of anywhere else in the Twin Cities that sells it? Bonus points for being near the Green Line, or possibly by Free Geek because it's always nice to have an excuse to stop in there.

Also got any recommendations for other tasty local NA beers? I'm not really a fan of IPAs, but maybe someone else will be interested if you've got suggestions?

Image description: four panel comic First panel shows hands holding a game boy with Pokemon Professor Oak saying "now tell me. Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?" Second panel shows a masculine presenting individual holding the game boy saying "Haha!, but of course I'm a ..." Third panel has the same person with a shocked expression. Fourth panel has the same person now presenting stereotypically fem in a pink top and a skirt, staring in the mirror with a tear of joy on her face.
