I live in Fargo. Grew up in Bottineau, ND. I've lived in other states (Minnesota, Washington, California, Australian Capital Territory) but have spent most of my life in ND. I never thought of this place as particularly silent. Sometimes the bugs are annoyingly loud at my parents house on the prairie outside of Bottineau. The wind is almost constant, so you'll hear trees blowing around in the places that have them. Coyotes at night. Squirrels chittering. Woodpeckers. I suppose maybe it's different in the middle of the state where there's nothing but prairie as far as the eye can see, but I doubt it
Amazon is the last place I go if I need to purchase something. Sometimes I'll use it like a search engine and then go off-site and make the purchase elsewhere.
Delta 8 vape carts. The license to do it legally is easy to get. You can buy all the material you'll need from Marijuana Packaging and Fresh Bros. I used to run a small CBD business out of a rented shop in Minnesota.
I'm a working class guy in North Dakota. Very conservative, Trumpy, and Jesusy around here. I know plenty of Trump supporters and churchgoers. I don't think any of them believe that the earth is only 10,000 years old.
It's not callous at all. Why would anyone expect random social media users to do more than post the number? If I was the type of person to try and talk people out of suicide I wouldn't be doing it on social media, it'd be volunteering for that hotline. Obviously the number works for many people.
Check yourself. Your comment is coming from a privileged position. The fact that you have time to be on a website like this commenting on others privilege means you're likely quite privileged yourself.
I disagree. I used to keep $10,000 cash in my apartment in case of an emergency. I earned it all from my job, but would I be able to prove that I had taken money out of particular paychecks and set it aside for my emergency fund? No, I would not have been able to.
They didn't catch him doing anything shady other than traveling through Oregon with cash. They wouldn't have found it either if they hadn't illegally searched him.
He was doing some shady stuff, but they couldn't prove anything other than he had a lot of cash on him. So they seized the cash and charged him with money laundering. Once the cash is seized it's guilty until proven innocent. He couldn't prove that he legally acquired it, so the police kept the money. Civil asset forfeiture is modern day highway robbery.
My brother was facing years in prison after being illegally searched and having over $84,000 cash found in his possession. He got it down to a few years of felony probation for attempted money laundering and of course the corrupt cops kept the money they stole.
The wait times for the SP404 MK2 have been crazy. I ordered one last month and I wouldn't be surprised if I have to wait until next year before I get it
I'm not even joking, was this created by someone with schizophrenia or maybe during a manic episode? It reminds me of the connections my ex would make while she was manic. And those absurd connections made their way into her art.
