Minnesota looking good right now

Is Tim Walz Canadian?

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.
Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"
- make weed gas again
  I can't figure out what this means
  
  I assume it means smoking the weed (turning it into gas).
  
  "High grade"

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.
- I'm surprised you don't have idiots replying to you while locked in a loop of saying "But Austin is libral though!" over and over.

it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people
- True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.
- to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.
- Ding
  Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding
  It's definitely about the brown people, but it's also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800's. All we need then is some good ol' slavery to finish it all off
  
  Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas
  It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia
  
  May I introduce you to the Texas Prison System? They clean our highways, do hard labor, work for our universities doing landscaping,
  
  yep, that's why they're trying to swap the meanings of "education" and "indoctrination"-- accuse schools of "liberal indoctrination" and take over all the boards so they can force their own "education" which is literally the textbook definition of indoctrination
  from the party of "god gave us free will!!!" which is also the party of "you will believe in jesus or else"
  
  Religious piousness is the excuse, it’s the cover story. You don’t really think those mega church pastors believe what they say and then fly around in golden jets do you? It’s about the power they have over people.
  EDIT: after reading you comment more carefully, yes we agree
  
  Buggery is anal penetration of an animal.
- this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony
- Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police

I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)
Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…
MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!
- MN is a state where businesses couldn't sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We're weird about very specific things.
  
  It's perfectly understandable. A Minnesotan mustn't be too joyful. "It could be worse" are the words for a Minnesotan to live by. Allowing alcohol on Sunday brings it uncomfortably close to "I'm doing great"
- That's just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.
  
  I’ll believe it when I see it. They’re dragging their feet in a way that seems like malicious compliance.
  
  As of now my maye is pissed to have to go to Wisconsin to get real bud or real edibles.
- I live near a dispensary and they sell a lot more than that, I think it's only hemp that's restricted. Edibles and stuff you can buy the pound of you can swallow the taxes.
  
  My mate has to go to WI to get 20mg+. No shot of getting at Minnesota and it fucking sucks that it takes all of her break to go get it
- Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.
  
  Michigan dispensaries are the shit!
  
  I was down in the US for a festival and made some Michigan friends who had the best dabs I’ve ever tried in my life.
- They made a shit show out of the licencing. First they sold permits, but then decided they were going to favor minorities in the licencing process. Royalty pissing off people who had already paid the huge fee. The new scheme got struck down in the courts. Now nobody knows what's happening with it. Except the tribes, who are the only people able to commercially grow at the moment. Total shit show, a Minnesota classic.
  But you can grow your own.
  
  Playing games with people's freedom. The freedom the people voted for.
  And these are the so called "good guys?" Get fucked democrats, you find a way to fuck people over even when they vote to stop the fucking.

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.
- You ain't seen nothing yet!
  Reaches into pants and grabs a massive mound of turd and then rubs it all over own face
  Yeah, you're triggered now, you idiot. I'm so free!
  Coughs in sepsis
  
  New HHS guidance recommends against the term “sepsis”. We’re goin full humors now, boiiiiiii
  
  You forgot to mention something about "woke" and "radical" something or other.
- That's Texas, it's different.
  
  Texas is the beta test for the rest of America.

Man, when even weed money can't move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society's progress.

That would really piss me off. I hate having reasons to go to Oklahoma.

May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.
- That’s why Trump keeps talking about invading Canada
- Easier to secede to Canada if you share a border

Anyone still listening to JRE know what he thinks about it? I wonder if he went full hypocrite at this rate or still has some principles.
- he went from weed to horse ROIDS.

Why is Texas so communist? Freedom haters the lot of them.

What’s Minnesota like? I grew up in snow but now reside in the southern heat and I don’t like it.
- I like living in MN. Yes, the winters can get long. But during the winter, it's not necessarily snowy all the time. Yes we get storms. But for most of the time, it's too cold to get snow. Mainly sunny days that look nice out, but are actually -20 F - 20 F. Sometimes snow, sometimes gloomy and cold. January average temp is 10 F.
  Summer, we do have humidity and heat.
- We have more snow and northern, humid heat. Summer average is 80s but peaks over 100 few times a year. So humid you can shower on Monday and still be wet behind the ears come Tuesday. And the mosquito is the state bird.
- Snowy
  
  Kinda. It's not snowy in terms of sheer snow fall like the West Coast or the Rockies, but it's cold and once the snow falls, it's there till spring.

I moved to Minnesota from San Diego 5 years ago and it feels like a better decision every single day
- Aiming my way there from Ohio within the next year, any recommendations?
  
  Get to know other transplants to Minnesota ahead of time or find a way to meet some once you move. Native Minnesotans are notoriously tough to befriend; many Minnesotans have friend groups that go back to primary school and can be kind of standoffish at first.
  
  The cities are cool, and like any major metropolitan area, every neighborhood has its own vibe. Duluth is a REALLY cool city, and totally worth a look. But I ended up in this small, off the freeway, city called Northfield. It's really nice. There are plenty of jobs, lots of services, the rent is okay, and there are two liberal arts colleges here, which means that this tends to be a really progressive area
  
  Come fly into the twin cities and take a look around. There's tons of different neighborhoods and you can drive to the major other cities in a day. Duluth is great and got a whole different biome from the Twin Cities. You can go to Rochester which is growing fast and has the Mayo Clinic if you need or want to work medical care. I love stillwater since it's a small town close to the twin cities but not really a suburb. You can't really go wrong.
  Also to note Minnesota has three different ecological biomes in it. Prairies, coniferous forest and deciduous forests. So you can pick your landscape and see others nearby

I like the cold…
