I just moved to Minneapolis last year. Rent is still outrageous. It is nice to see that it’s improving something but it is hands down the most expensive and competitive place I’ve ever had to apartment shop. Our 1 bedroom 1 bath apt for $1500/mo hit the market and was rented within 4 days by one of the 7 groups who immediately booked a tour. Progress is something though

A world with no cars? How is this possible?! People actually out and about!

But think of all the convenience you gain by not having to remember a password! That darn brain of mine

Minnesota, here. New parent. Can confirm! The full on DNA test is optional. Parents can make informed decisions and prepare for new lifestyles of supporting a kid that’s differently abled.

The early years of Facebook as a teenager were great for me! No advertisements, just friends and friends of friends posting updates about their thoughts, activities, and photos. Somewhere in my college years (2011-15) it definitely got worse but not to a degree I’d call ‘bad’. Not disagreeing or anything, just sharing!

Content > design

I just gotta say, I felt that switch too around that time. 2016-2019ish. Something about how Instagram moved away from encouraging posts of your life to family//friends for pushing an influencer/celebrity sphere. People stopped sharing their lives, ordinary content wasn’t ranked as high. And then the other social platforms copied it

To be honest, I haven’t seen anyone else mention the real reason: America allowed private companies to buy and own the lands under the rails in the 1800s in order to deal with the massive distances across the US to connect the West and East. 150 years later and just a few companies own almost all the track and rail across America. Almost all private, not public land. Public citizens and communities have very little control over the railways going through their communities. These companies lobby against and make it difficult to introduce new, public rail lines for a multitude of reasons. This is one of very many examples of how corporations abuse law, monopolistic practices, and media to lessen the power of American citizens.
